This lovely spacious home has 2 large bedrooms and 1 smaller bedroom, with 2 full bathrooms. It also features air conditioning for those hot summer days, and a pellet stove (with furnace backup) for those chilly nights. Direct TV and WiFi internet access are available at the cottage. This cottage features an open, inviting floor plan with lots of windows. It has been completely renovated and updated. A beautiful sunroom off the dining area provides a place to relax.
Conveniently located ashort drive from Bar Harbor's bustling downtown, this peaceful home sits along the bus route for the Island Explorer free shuttle buses. Leave your car behind, and hop on a bus for a free ride anywhere on Mount Desert Island and into Acadia National Park. Our cottage sits on a large lot surrounded by oak trees, and is within walking distance of the ocean. Several popular campgrounds and lobster pounds are within 1 miles, and sea kayaking rentals are within a mile. Our home is within ten to fifteen minutes from each of the towns on Mt. Desert Island: Somesville, Seal Harbor, Northeast Harbor, and Southwest Harbor. All of these towns have their own character, and offer their own unique blend of restaurants, sightseeing, whale watching, arts, community events, mountains for hiking, carriage roads for walking or biking, beaches, parks, lighthouses, sailing, and boat-filled harbors.

    This house is spacious, comfortable and functional. We had everything in the kitchen to cook our meals when needed. Showers were big and water pressure was good. Beds were very comfortable. We all had good recuperating sleep after all day hiking. The house is close to Acadia. It took us no more than 25 min to any hiking trail we chose. Food options were much better quality and prices were lower than in Bar Harbor. I highly recommend this house and would come back when visiting the area.

    This is a spacious, clean, comfortable home with everything needed to cook family meals. The furnishings allow for lounging in front of the tv and eating together around the kitchen table. The bedrooms are large and the beds were very comfortable. The laundry facilities are new models. The location is quiet and at the end of a road. It's very convenient to drive to Acadia for day trips. The owner is very responsive - we just needed paper towels which were brought promptly. This home was perfect for our group of 4 adults, I've stayed in over 30 home rentals and this one was one of the best, I would definitely stay again!

    We loved this place. It was immaculate and very well supplied with everything needed. It feels like it is isolated even though everything we wanted to was no more than 15 to 25 min away. We found 3 or 4 great food places within 10 min. Tom was very response to a couple of small issues we had while there.

    We just finished a spectacular week touring Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor and this house was a perfect home base for us and our four kids. There was plenty of space, all the beds were comfortable, there were many games and books for the kids to enjoy, the kitchen was very well stocked with all the tools and implements we needed to make family meals, and there was even a whole first aid cabinet that came in very handy. What's more, the house looks a lot newer and more recently updated than the photos suggest. The owners are EXTREMELY responsive to text messages and got us a fresh propane tank when we ran out while grill, which was very much appreciated. I am *so* glad we chose to stay here instead of in a hotel especially because our priority was to be up and out early each morning to get our hikes and outdoor adventures in, then have somewhere comfortable to have family dinner and watch movies in the evening. Two tips: 1) you *could* do the 0.6mi walk to Terramor to grab the #9 bus into town, or, you could drive to the Visitor's Center to park for the day (15-20 minutes) and take buses around the park and/or into and out of BH rather than dealing with parking in BH. 2) Bring your own beach towels if you're going to be going in the water anywhere. Either way, whenever you get back to the house for the night, it is mandatory that you take the 90-second walk next door to the Travelin' Lobster for at least blueberry pie.

    Very clean, overabundance of kitchen appliances, even a colander and popover tin which we used, Roomy, nightlights, places for luggage, bathroom counter space, large bath soaps, laundry supplies, room for family time... We loved our stay and would do it again.

    Very clean. Everything was just as we expected. Close to a wonderful lobster takeout. When I damaged a screen on the sliding glass door, he replaced it the next day and covered the cost. Everything worked. Great location. Tom has a great house and location. We will say here again on our next trip to Maine.

    This is probably my favorite vacation rental I’ve ever stayed in. This little cottage was perfect for my little family and my Husbands parents. It was well stocked and clean. The location is private but also within walking distance of a great restaurant. There were games and camping chairs to sit outside, and a grill on the deck. I would definitely recommend it to any family up to 6 people. There were lots of towels and a washer and dryer which was amazing for this point in our trip. I’ll definitely be booking with them again next year.

    Nice house. Plenty of room. A bit tricky finding the turnoff for the first day but really nice. Short distance from town and Acadia. Owners were very responsive to inquiries.

    Everything was exactly as stated. Enjoyed the location, away from the busy Bar Harbor but close enough to enjoy Acadia. Highly recommend the Bar Harbor Lobster Pound. Best food for price we had the whole trip.
