Our home is on a quiet side street, one block off Main Street. Your vacation begins the moment you pull your car into the driveway, no need to search for parking. Acadia National Park and all that Bar Harbor has to offer are within walking distance. The well equipped kitchen which opens to a large backyard, spacious dining room, and living room, equipped with 42 in flat screen T.V.,VCR/DVD, stereo, card and board games are on the first floor. Upstairs has 3 bedrooms, 2 with queen beds, one with 2 twin beds, bathroom, plus a youth room with a pack and play. In the backyard relax as you watch the children play, or enjoy a game of badminton, fire up the gas grill for a cookout and enjoy your lobster dinner in the fresh salt air. After dinner walk two block to listen to a concert in the Village Green or browse the many shops and boutiques, another two blocks to watch the sunset over the ocean before coming home to tuck in to rest up for another day of relaxation and adventure.


Acadia Escape remodeled in 2008 : We have done lots of updates to our recently purchased home. All windows and doors have been replaced with energy efficient low e glass. An energy efficient furnace was also installed this year to help with green house gases and for your comfort. The electrical system has also been completely updated to all safety codes including smoke detectors in every room for your safety. In the bathroom the tub/shower enclosure has been newly tiled. The hardwood floors in the living area and the California pine floors on the entire second floor have all been sanded and refinished. As have all the original wood doors.

2012 we have upgraded, we have put a 42 inch HDTV and new pull out couch in the living area, also new carpet in dining room and new flooring in the bathroom.

Tennis lessons available: August Lozano is a USPTA certified tennis professional. I have been a teaching pro at the Ellsworth Tennis Center for 10 years. In 2008 I was ranked #1 in the State of Maine in the 45 and over. In 2006 I was ranked # 1 in the 35's and the 45's. I would be happy to hit or give a lesson during your stay.

    We had a great time at Acadia Escape. The house is homey, very clean and comfortable. The backyard picnic table is great for a meal or just relaxing with coffee. The hammock was a nice addition. Kitchen had everything we needed and the laundry seemed like new machines. The location is incredibly convenient, walking distance to restaurants, but still quiet on the side street. Definitely recommend!

    We enjoyed our stay at this property.The house was very clean and well equipped with everything necessary for a carefree vacation.The location was more than perfect. It was off the center of the town but close enough to shops and restaurants. Though at some distance so that we needed to walk to get to the Harbor Shore Path and other destinations. I have to mention the excellent shuttle service from the center of the town at Village Green to many destinations at the Acadia National Park.In fact, we had not touched our car from the day we arrives to Bar Harbor to the day we departed home. Thanks to the host who left many brochures about the town and surrounding, it made our vacation planning a bit easier. We did not come very well prepared, so the initial information was very helpful. Thank you, Audie also for the delicious blueberry jam that you left for us to taste one of the staples of Maine! All in all we left Bar Harbor carrying a memory of a beautiful vacation.

    Perfect week away! Stayed with my husband, mother and mother in law. The home was exactly as pictured. Very well maintained and very clean. The home is in perfect walking distance to town and a very short drive to Acadia. Maryellen and August were very kind and accommodating. The home had everything you would need. We would love to stay here again in the furture. 10/10 would recommend.

    This was a great home and “home base” - perfect location, walkable to everything downtown, and having parking at the house was priceless since we were there over the 4th of July holiday.

    Maryellen and Augie’s spacious home is in a perfect location. They are lovely hosts who well maintain their home to serve their guests. You can when the buses are running park your car and not use it until you leave.

    Comfortable, roomy house on a quiet street in the heart of Bar Harbor. Hosts Maryellen and Augie were great to deal with, and have thought of everything in terms of supplies - plates, flatware, utensils, cookware, spare towels, even a washer and dryer for long-term stays. The Town Green and Main Street, with its shops and restaurants, are just a short walk away. And off-street parking comes with the property! We can happily recommend staying here.

    Loved being able to leave car in driveway and walk to town, or take the bus from the Village Green to the park. In busy times of the year, dealing with finding a parking spot is insanity, both in town and at the trail heads in the park. Less crazy about the only bathroom being upstairs, and the noise levels coming in from the street, even with windows closed. My knees were not happy to deal with the hike to the bathroom after hikes in the park. The stairs were well disclosed in the listing, however, and I simply did not anticipate them being problematic for our 60 ish year old knees.

    This property is in an amazing location for a trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Downtown Bar Harbor is a 5 minute walk away and Acadia is within a few miles drive. House is spacious with all the features/amenities you want in a home away from home. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our trip and this property was a great home base for our adventures. Hosts were also amazing with great communication. Highly recommended!

    Super clean house, great location. It was exactly as pictured on the rental listing. Check in was simple. It is a great home base for exploring Bar Harbor (walk to everything!) and Acadia. We were so busy hiking, biking and enjoying the outdoors that we didn’t spend too much time in the house, but it was a relaxing and quiet spot for us to rest up for the next day’s activities. Definitely recommend! PS- Cafe This Way has the best pancakes!!

    Acadia Escape is well-equipped and convenient. It is a 5-minute walk to the town square and the bus system. Your hosts, Maryellen and Augie, are warm and concerned about your comfort. I highly recommend their rental home.

    Had a nice stay here. It was perfectly located close to Acadia park, trails, activities and for walking to downtown Bar Harbor. We weren’t home much except to sleep, but it was comfortable… except for one of our group w allergies.
