Our 1847 farmhouse is centrally located on Mt.Desert Island. A private entrance leads to an upstairs, sunlit, suite with a queen bedroom, living room with futon, private bath, and kitchenette with microwave, refrigerator, toaster, coffeemaker.

The house and stable, which once served the livery needs of Mt. Desert, are located on one of the major island roads. Acadia NP, Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor and the 'Quiet Side' of MDI are all close by, but be prepared for summer traffic.
>The space
This newly renovated suite is tucked under the exposed, hand hewn beams of this 1847 Cape. Bands of the original timber-framing have been left exposed; wide plank floors have been newly refinished. The bathroom and kitchenette are brand new. The suite is bright, well-lit, and warmly and comfortably furnished. Wifi is available.

Guest access
Our guests will enjoy the entire upstairs floor of our house, with a small sitting deck at their private front entrance. The stairs to the second floor are original to the house, which was built in the 1840's, so they are a little steeper than usual. Ample parking is available.

Other things to note
Directly across the road you'll find a well-stocked general store -- some of the best sandwiches on the island -- a brew pub and barbeque restaurant.

Country roads that are great short-cuts to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park end right at our property. We're located in the township of Bar Harbor but not in the busy hub itself...Our location is on one of two main roads on the island. The good news is that we are centrally located for exploring all parts of MDI. The entrance to Acadia National Park is 5 miles away. Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Seal Harbor and the rest of Mount Desert Island are all easy to get to from our location. The downside is that the road is busy and there is traffic noise.

    Jane was there to meet us when we arrived, even though it was almost midnight do to flight issues. They have us great advice on things to do at acadia Park. The place was super cute and perfect for what we needed.

    Jane & Paul were the perfect hosts! Under the Eaves was a quaint one bedroom in an 1840 home. The pine footing was exquisite. The nightly fire pit was the perfect cap, along with a wine or beer, to a perfect day in Acadia NP. The location was perfect as well. Great selection & choice on our part.

    Excellent location at Town Hill, Mt. Desert, on the less busy side of Acadia. The hosts were excellent... so very helpful with great suggestions on hikes and restaurants. Highly recommend.

    Suite under the Eaves is an amazing space with amazing hosts. Jane contacted us prior to our stay and gave us check in directions. She happened to be out of town so Paul handled all the logistics while we were there. It was an amazing stay on an amazing property with such great hospitality. Thank you Jane and Paul for all of your efforts put into this thoughtful VRBO(the best we've ever stayed in)! Paul's suggestions on things to do are very well thought out and his maps and all the amenities offered were great. We had a fantastic time visiting with family staying in the area. Thank you again and we will be coming back again. Chris/Cheryl/and Katherine.

    Overall, the trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park was wonderful. The hosts were quick to respond to messages (prior to coming). Paul met us upon arrival. He showed us around and provided a print out of recommended hikes and offered restaurant suggestions. The place was very clean and matched the description/pictures. It was stocked with all the needed home/bathroom stuff - dishes, glasses, silverware, shampoo, tissue, paper towels, bath towels, soap etc. The hosts also provided snacks and some breakfast food as well as a very tasty beverages in the place. Jane and Paul were kind to let us borrow some hiking poles which were useful on some of the hikes we did. THANK YOU! The property has a firepit which we took advantage of on our last night there. The hosts provided the firewood, and lighter which was super kind. Things to consider before booking 1) The property is close to a major road, so you can hear cars and trucks (which was in other reviews). 2) We had a lot of issues with locking and unlocking the door so that was a bit frustrating. 3) You have to climb steep stairs (disclosed in the VRBO description) and the place is above the hosts residence (that did not bother us but noting it for others). Overall, the VRBO fit our needs and I would recommend it if you are looking for a place not too far from downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National park. We had a great time visiting your part of the country. Thanks again!

    We loved staying here. We have stayed at a few VRBO and none have ever been cleaner. There were so many nice little touches in the decorating and historic feel, but all fresh and clean. Very helpful hosts and super easy to work with. We would 100%stay here again.

    The owners went out of the way to make our stay wonderful! The place was immaculate! Hiking trails were shared, highlighted and ready to go. The food items such as: coffee, tea, bananas, granola were all delicious! They kept in touch to let us know about happenings in the area. Hope to get back sometime soon!!!

    Jane and Paul were waiting for us when we arrived and Jane came out to meet us in the middle of Tropical Storm Lee. They went over the hiking maps of Acadia which Paul had marked and color coded by difficulty. The place was perfect for our stay. Everything you could possibly need was included, even some food and drink items. It was close to Acadia, Bar Harbor and plenty of restaurants. Wonderful hosts and wonderful place.

    Great location, everything is Acadia is ~20 min away. It is the quiet side of the Island, it never feels crowded. We loved the apartment, it looks even better than the images. It is next to a fairly noisy road though, no problem though when windows are closed.
