Quaint Family-Friendly Cottage Near Main Street w/Free WiFi and Partial A/C

Online it seemed to be a good place for 3 to stay but there is only 1 ac unit upstairs and it gets pretty hot. The bathroom looked like it had black mold around the toilet. There were leftover things from someone else in one of the bedrooms. The beds were very uncomfortable as well.

The location is great. On a quiet side street, but walkable (.5 mi) to town center. It also has a washer and dryer, which is nice. Otherwise, for the money your paying it’s a bit basic - pretty sure it’s a college rental in the off season, and that’s what it looks like.

The location is fantastic. It was an easy 1/2 mile walk to the center of town, making it really convenient to hop on the Island Explorer or go to dinner in town. It was a good amount of space, with a reasonably sized living room for the 4 of us and it was great to also have a full-size kitchen. There were apparent signs of wear and tear on the house that slightly detracted from the atmosphere. This included a tear in the wall in the kitchen and the need for a fresh coat of paint throughout (clear areas where they tried to paint over patches but it doesn't look right). The larger concern though was for a slight moldy smell in the house and possible mold on the ceiling in the bathroom. These are all addressable concerns though and, again, amazing location!

Home was very shabby and sorely needed to be painted. Grass was not cut. Smelled musty. Window in large bedroom was missing a shade allowing the street light to shine in. I just had the entire interior of my home painted...walls, high ceilings, trim, doors. My home is larger than this rental and only cost me $3000 (6 rooms). The painter did an excellent job. I very much doubt I will go through Verbo again.

Had a great stay

We stayed at Norris Cottage in august 2022. It is an old Maine house that hasn’t aged well. The good - 2 people can stay well. The air conditioning worked well on the ground floor and was adequate though noisy in the main bedroom where it is a window unit. The Wi-Fi was fine. It had a dishwasher, washer, dryer though noisy also worked well. It is close to town and in a safe location. The bad- the furniture is all in bad condition including the bumpy, noisy mattress. You can’t comfortably stay in the 2nd room unless it is cool with low humidity outside. This room and the bathroom are extremely musty and stale smelling. The floor in the kitchen is deteriorating and ripping apart. There was a pile of deep dust under both beds. In our opinion, the pictures were nowhere near the reality. Think hunting cabin

Norris cottage was perfect for our needs. Comfortable bed and living room and the porch was great for morning coffee and evening drinks with a nice view of the wooded park across the street. Angel, from Vacasa, was very nice and helpful! Would stay here again.

The house was very cute and in an amazing location, walkable to town and close to everything Acadia can offer. It was also super clean and pet friendly. We will be back!

Good place to stay, 10 minute walk from downtown Bar Harbor and a minutes drive/ walk to Acadia. Good for a family but note that the staircase is very steep if you have young children. Comfortable accommodations, however mattress in master bedroom needs to be replaced.

Really cute place in a fantastic location close to town! We could and did walk every time we went into town, whether it was to get ice cream, get dinner and drinks, or do some shopping. One surprise we had was in the room with the two twin beds - it was small and set up so that the door couldn`t be opened or closed without moving one of the beds, which would obviously disturb whoever was sleeping there. In addition, they had some amenities for cleaning (e.g., dish and laundry detergent) but were missing some other amenities that would have been nice to have, like extra toilet paper and more cooking basics (they only provided salt and pepper). But overall we still really enjoyed our stay! The owners were very responsive and reasonable!
