3500 SF Original School transformed into an artful, gorgeous village home, yard

Great stay in Bar HarborOur group of family and friends fit well in the house. The loft has a ladder, so it works best for guests who are comfortable climbing.We liked the location. We walked to dinner, coffee, and shops. We used the grill often and enjoyed spending time relaxing outside.The kitchen was well-set up, and the large table made it easy for us to eat together. Communication with the host was smooth, and a maintenance issue was fixed quickly.We would definitely stay here again.

The kitchen was gorgeous and I loved the range. Everyone loved the living room and all the living arrangements. My fiancee and I got married in Acadia and this was such a perfect spot for the whole family. If I were to come back to bar harbor, I'd most likely stay here again.

Everything was great!

Fantastic property. The kitchen is wonderful and fully stocked to support large family cooking. Plenty of room for our family of 9 to have space to play and relax. The location in Bar Harbor can not be beat. Kay and Augusto were excellent hosts.

This was our 3rd time staying at Emerson house 1st floor. We had a wonderful visit. Our favorite things about the property are the proximity to town, the large covered side porch and yard, and the open space with a very large kitchen table for our lobster dinners. Being that we have stayed there multiple times, we noticed this trip a few things in need of being replaced as is typical of any rental, but that wouldn’t keep us from booking again in the future as I’m sure the owners are very good at the upkeep. We can’t wait to return again with our family in a few years.

Perfect in every way! Location (very walkable within the village). Unique and tasteful decor. Exudes quality in every aspect. I’ve done VRBO stays all over US and abroad—this was by far the absolute best! The hosts were thorough, attentive, responsive. The kitchen will astonish you! The photos and description are spot on. We did not use loft, instead opting for sleeper sofa in back sitting room, due to steepness of the ladder access (our group was women of a certain age).

Gorgeous Bar Harbor was the perfect vacation spot! The house was more gorgeous in person than online. We loved everything about this place and hope to return! Thanks!

Family’s first visit to Acadia - Bar Harbor. Home was perfectly / centrally located within walking distance to everything in the town. The interior was wonderfully decorated and interesting throughout. There was off street parking available but we opted to forgo the car rental and use the free bus system - home is a short five min walk to the village where most buses depart from. Street was quiet and the patio / yard space was very well maintained. The host (Kay) was fantastic and responded quickly when communicating before and during our stay. Could not have asked for a better home and location. We’ll definitely be back!

If you are hosting a family gathering in Bar Har, the Emerson-Mason House will turn it into a magical experience.

property is amazing, we also had relatives that rented the Mason House so everyone had a great time! location is perfect!

Can’t say enough of how much we enjoyed Emerson Mason house while visiting Bar Harbor. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION is the best gift this place has given us. Yes, it’s a gorgeous environment and yes, it had everything we needed, but being able to walk 5 minutes to the grocery and 10 minutes to downtown/water’s edge is amazing. We parked our car and never moved it! What a quaint little street it is situated upon with everyone’s flower boxes bursting with color. Literally felt like we were in a Hallmark movie. Everyone had their own space, and gathering in the great room/porch area was another highlight in my forever memory. EM house may now be our annual tradition when summer arrives.

11 of us stayed a week for our family reunion. There was more than enough room. The kitchen was especially amazing and made cooking and serving the group very easy. The unit is in a great location. We walked everywhere and rarely used the car. Highly recommend.

Wonderful place, terrific experience with hosts! Spacious and comfortable home with fun school house history! So convenient, only Two blocks from Everything in town. The porch and yard and bonfire were enjoyable for our group of 9.
