I purchased this small condo in early 2022 as my winter home: I am making a film about Acadia and I use this space as my launching pad and winter respite. Upgrades: Two Aventon eBikes with custom seats, 7.2.2 Dolby Atmos new home theater with 85 Sony HDR TV, Le Creuset cookware, bakeware, and serve ware, refrigerator, dishwasher, high-end bedframe, luxury bed and bedding, new desk with dedicated HDR monitor and workstation, a ductless heater and air conditioner, double-reclining LazyBoy leather couch, full-size washer and dryer, renovated bathroom, quartz countertops, and charcoal grill.
Please read reviews posted for my first three seasons. I treat my guests as if they were my own family. A portion of rental income goes to two charities I love: Friends of Acadia and PAATH, a Maine veterans organization. I have donated $1,000 to the same non-profits this year (2024) as well. Thank you for making this possible!
This one-bedroom efficiency condo is located at ground level for easy access and has the best location of any property on Mount Desert Island! You will be able to reach most eastern MDI hiking locations in Acadia National Park within 15 minutes from this downtown Bar Harbor location. When you return home after a day of hiking, you can park in your own off-street parking spot directly in front of your condo... and walk virtually anywhere in The village of Bar Harbor in 10 minutes! This is crucial because ANP has become one of the highest demand locations in the United States: Without dedicated parking it is near impossible to visit the village or dine at one of our many restaurants. Alternately you can bike to the park with the fully charged eBikes and skip the traffic congestion entirely!
The Village contains 99% of all restaurants, shops, bars and cafés on the entire island…and they are all within a 10 minute walk from the condo! This small two room efficiency home is appointed with a living room with exceptional natural light, a small dining table for two, and a kitchenette with full-size appliances to prepare your own food. I have the only wood-burning fireplace available in downtown Bar Harbor. I leave puhlenty of firewood on the property. Nothing beats a nice fire after a long day of hiking in Acadia during autumn, winter, and early spring!
The bedroom contains a magnificent king-size bed from Helix. The lovely solid wood frame comes from Tuft and Needle. All bedding, including down pillows and comforter are from Boll and Branch- the best available bedding and linen you can buy! I installed a new heat/AC unit in May 2023 so you can keep the window closed at night if you prefer.
It also includes a small desk with a 34-inch Apple XDR (HDR) Display, keyboard, and left and right-handed mice as well as an OWC Thunderbolt Pro charging and media station for XD, CFAST, and CF Express cards. I also provide a new B/W laser printer (paper and backup cartridges included) as well as a quality portable Epson document scanner. The internet connection is 350+mbps and is highly reliable. I leverage the best available modem/routers/WIFI from Nighthawk. I have a brand new Herman Miller Aeron chair with a nice glass floor mat.
The two new eBikes are very easy to ride and have superb hydraulic brakes too. I use them to access distant locations as well as largely inaccessible carriage roads built by the Duponts and Rockefellers in the 1920s. This is the only property in Bar Harbor to include eBikes with the property rental! The bikes are engineered so that you can allow the bike to assist you while peddling as much or as little as you desire. I have high quality helmets available for your use. Safety first!
Enjoy your morning coffee on the sunny patio, fill your day with hiking, biking and sea kayaking, walk 10 minutes to a slew of exceptional restaurants, and return home to watch your favorite movies on my Apple TV(600+ movies to choose from including all 2025 Oscar nominees). The unit also includes a brand new (2024) full-size washer and dryer should you need it. Woolite and Downy are provided as are stain removers and dryer sheets.
No pets or smoking please.
This is a carbon-neutral property.

You can spend your time fighting traffic trying to reach the park and the village or you can rest easy at this quaint, quiet and perfectly located condo!

    Literally the best place to stay! The condo was perfect for my husband and me. We were within walking distance of everything in Bar Harbor and an easy drive to Acadia. The bikes were a great perk! We were able to bike to Acadia and ride around which was so fun. Jay was a great host - we would 100% come back and recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing place to stay!

    We had an amazing stay at One Eden! The property is perfectly located just off the main street in Bar Harbor. We parked the car and rarely had to use it again during our stay!The space has everything you need, fully stocked kitchen. Very comfortable bedding and linens. We did not need to use the office space, but that was well set up if needed. The e-bikes were an incredible added benefit! We were able to cruise around the entire park while avoiding car traffic. Jay has done an excellent job cultivating this space and keeping it updated. You can tell the care that has gone into it’s creation.Would stay here again in a heart beat! Hope to be back soon!

Jay takes care of all the little details and is extremely good at communicating. If you find this place available you’ll do more than well to rent it!

    Exactly as advertised. Small, with everything upgraded, clean, comfortable. The space was great for the 2 of usWe loved the access to the e-bikes. We rode more than 40 miles on 2 different trips exploring the carriage roads. So nice to have them and to be able to go out on a whimIt was fantastic to have a parking spot and be able to easily walk wherever we wanted to goJay was a great host. He reached out by message and by phone and was available for questions. When we return in the future Jay’s place is our first choice of where to stay

    My wife and I loved the property. Everything you would need is provided-plus some things you could use to really enjoy Acadia.We’re in our mid 60’s so we didn’t try the bikes,but being so close to everything in Bar Harbor makes walking everywhere very convenient.The total comfort of this unit made this one of the best vacations we’ve ever had.

    I booked this for my husband who was attending an event in Bar Harbor. He said it was all an A, from checking into the property to the top quality of everything inside the unit (Boll & Branch sheets! If you know, you know!), bed, AV system, furniture. I communicated with Jay and he was always extremely responsive prior to the stay - we never had any need to communicate with him during the stay. The location was perfect, walkable to everything downtown, and the onsite parking is invaluable. We are very picky and this place was perfect!

The location is terrific, a short walk from the center of town and tons of bars, restaurants, and the Island Explorer. The condo is equipped with top notch accessories - towels, sheets, the bed, etc. - and an amazing TV?Surround sound system! I highly recommend!

    It was just a great spot centrally located right in downtown Bar Harbor. Phenomenal TV and sound system would recommend to anybody and especially that the owner was a former veteran of the arm services and contributes all our part of the rent to friends of Acadia. We will definitely be going back.

    Property is perfect for 1 or 2 travelers. I would stay again. E-Bikes are very convenient way to access the National Park. Carriage roads are accessible only a few blocks from the door. Apartment is clean, conveniently located and comes with parking, which is otherwise a major headache. Jay has also spent a lot of time and money to make sure the amenities (towels, bedding, cookware, etc) are first class.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jay's condo. It was well stocked, had high quality bedding and towels and the location was perfect. The e-bikes were a bonus and we rode them to Acadia right from the condo. The condo is small, so I wouldn't suggest it for more than 2 people, but it's perfect for a single person or a couple. The owner is a wonderful person with great communication.

Jay is extremely responsive to inquiries and clearly dedicated to ensuring that his guests enjoy their stay. We very much enjoyed exploring MDI and then returning to our comfortable accommodations at the end of the day. Would absolutely recommend.

It is in a great location, just on the edge of the bustling downtown area, easy walk to everything Bar Harbor downtown. Owner is excellent at communicating and pays special attention to quality and details, much appreciated! Perfect for a couple, very quaint, but well appointed. The E-bikes were a great perk for us! This is a perfect place to stay if you’re interested in exploring the park or the downtown, best of both! We would definitely stay again if traveling in area!
