THE ART NOOK

Located on Cottage Street in the heart of downtown Bar Harbor, the Art Nook puts you within easy walking distance of virtually everything Bar Harbor has to offer. You'll have your own off-street parking space,allowing you to park your car when you arrive and enjoy the convenience of walking to restaurants, shops, the waterfront and many of Bar Harbor's attractions.
The Art Nook comfortably accommodates up to four guests with two bedrooms, each furnished with a queen bed, and two full bathrooms with tub/showers.

The second-floor apartment has been thoughtfully renovated and decorated, with original artwork throughout. The spacious living area provides a comfortable place to relax after a day of exploring, while the modern kitchen is fully equipped with everything you'll need to prepare meals at home. The apartment also includes a laundry room, high-speed Wi-Fi, Smart TV and cable TV, Smart Lock entry, and full air conditioning.

WALK EVERYWHERE

One of the best things about staying at the Art Nook is that you can park your car when you arrive and walk almost everywhere. Restaurants, shops, the Village Green and the Shore Path are all within an easy walk, and the Island Explorer is nearby for exploring Acadia National Park without having to move your car.

The grocery store is only a block away, along with bicycle, kayak and motor-scooter rentals. Bar Island, part of Acadia National Park, is also just a short walk away. At low tide, you can walk across the exposed sandbar and hike Bar Island for beautiful views of Bar Harbor. Be sure to check the tide schedule and allow plenty of time to return before the tide comes back in.

EXPLORE ACADIA NATIONAL PARK

The free seasonal Island Explorer bus can be reached at the Village Green, making it easy to explore Acadia without having to drive everywhere. The Island Explorer provides access to many popular destinations throughout Acadia, including Cadillac Mountain and Sand Beach.
If golf is your thing, historic Kebo Valley Golf Club is also nearby. Established in 1888, Kebo is the oldest golf club in Maine and the eighth-oldest in the United States, and is open to public play.

A COMFORTABLE DOWNTOWN RETREAT

After a day of exploring Acadia, come back to a bright, comfortable and beautifully decorated apartment right in the heart of Bar Harbor. Our guests consistently mention the exceptional location, cleanliness, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable living space and convenience of being able to walk everywhere. Several guests have told us they barely moved their car during their stay—and that's exactly the experience we hope to provide.

Come stay at The Art Nook and enjoy the best of Bar Harbor right outside your door!

    Great place, very convenient location! The property is exactly as described and an extremely comfortable place to stay. I would definitely return and the host was very responsive to the few questions that I had. Loved the easy access and the dedicated parking spot, particularly in a town that is hard to find parking.

    We had two couples who enjoyed the stay. Location was very good, within walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor. We had our own parking spot, and access to Acadia was easy. The unit is located on the main road so outside noise could be heard. Overall it was a great place and area to stay.

    The location of this property is perfect. You are within walking area of everything in Bar Harbor. We would walk into town everyday to either eat or go on an excursion. Acadia park is right around the corner as well. The place itself was absolutely perfect. Everything was clean, the space was spacious, and just as it was advertised. They also had a few amenity’s there to get you started which was great. We would definitely choose this spot again!

    The Art Nook was absolutely wonderful. Photos don’t do it justice. It was so clean and had everything we needed for our 4 day stay. Plenty of linens and other supplies like dish soap, laundry detergent , shampoo, conditioner, body wash, paper towel, basic kitchen items. We were right in the heart of the downtown area. Easy walking to shops and restaurants. With windows open at night you could hear the street noise, but we just closed the windows. A/C worked great. And the onsite parking spot was very convenient. If you’re considering this property, don’t hesitate. It’s amazing!

    This is a lovely property. It was convenient to walk everywhere in town. We only used our car to go to Acadia to sightsee and hike. The unit was spotless. The ability to open windows and enjoy the fresh air was lovely. It was well appointed with good cookware, basic spices, coffee, and shampoo, etc.,

    We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay here more! This place was a gem. It was walking distance to everything downtown, with big beautiful windows looking out over the strip. It’s a single unit above an office, so it was very quiet. It was very big, very clean and had everything we needed. We are already talking about taking another trip to Bar Harbor, and we will definitely be booking this unit again!
