Great place, awesome location
Very nice and comfortable property right in Bar Harbor! The location was amazing. Could easily walk to anywhere in downtown Bar Harbor in just a few minutes. Took day trips into the park with our car, then used the included parking space at night as we walked around town. The location and cleanliness of the place was perfect.

Thanksgiving Stay
We stayed over Thanksgiving while visiting family on the island. The location is fantastic - easy walk to the entire town. Our two high school boys took the upstairs so plenty of room to spread out. Parking was helpful even in the off-season. We were even able to get in some hikes in the park!

Great location and comfortable stay
We enjoyed our stay in Bar Harbor and the fact that the house was so central. Generally well equipped. Bedrooms would benefit from blackout blinds or curtains and the curtain poles were flimsy.

Great location!
The rental had everything we might need and was a short walk away from all things Bar Harbor. Check in was easy, and the property was comfortable. Could use a bit of TLC and refresh in areas (bathrooms, windows) and they have a bit of an insect problem, but we didn't pay much attention. Would stay here again.

Great property in AMAZING locatino
This was a fantastic property in an amazing location in downtown Bar Harbor. You couldn't really ask for a better location. The host was hospitable and a fantastic communicator. My family of of four had an amazing time and it was great having this property as a base!
Oh, it is also about 2-3 blocks from the Island Bar Trail, which was pretty great!

nice little getaway
Home was clean and in a great location to walk all of Bar Harbor shops and restaurants. Also nice being able to walk to the Explorer bus stops to access Acadia park trails and sights without parking issues if you come during busy season (bus only runs certain months, did not use this visit but have on previous visits and LOVED the easy access)

Superb Location
You can’t beat the location on a quiet nook off Cottage Street - one of the two main shopping and dining streets - in Bar Harbor. You are just feet from a great coffee shop/bakery, and all the shops and restaurants. And the grocery store is a 2 min walk. The house itself is very basic, but the pictures reflect it accurately. The house comes with one parking spot and all other parking in the area is metered. It’s easy to come by if you have a second car, but you will pay to park. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great stay!
We had a wonderful stay. We were three women so we all had our own room which was nice. I can’t think of anything that was missing. Kitchen and bathrooms and laundry were all stocked with everything we needed. The location was close to everything. Could even walk to the grocery store.
I highly recommend and hope to have an opportunity to stay here again!

Host Veena is great communicating with her guests. The location is perfect for walking around downtown Bar Harbor. It was well stocked with all you need and having washer/dryer on-site is a plus when traveling for more than a week!
