Bar Harbor, Maine
This cute three bedroom, one bathroom house is set back from the road in a quiet residential neighborhood, easy walking distance to downtown, or ride your bike to Sand Beach and Acadia National Park's carriage roads. Enjoy the sunny deck for grilling, or the covered front porch at the end of the day. This is a small but comfortable house that sleeps five in one Queen bed and three Twins.
This house is within walking distance to Bar Harbor Village, plus sports fields, a golf course, Sieur des Monts Spring (home of Acadia Wild Gardens), several beaches and the Shore Path, our YMCA, two movie theaters, one of which also hosts live entertainment, restaurants, and the Island Explorer free bus shuttle system that will take you to all areas of Mount Desert Island.
We have done our best to provide a very comfortable gathering place to rest at the end of your adventures in Acadia National Park.

Cute home in a great location. Loved using the back entrance to Acadia. Owner was quick to address any issues. Would certainly come back again.
We had a great stay at this adorable house. We walked to shops and restaurants and only got in our car to go on hikes and explore the island. Please note that if you have mobility issues that the bedrooms are all on the second floor and the bathroom is on the first floor. Not a problem for us but be aware. We would gladly stay here again!
Enjoyed the house and the location. I highly recommend.
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It's a short walk into town that helps you burn off some of that great ice cream + lobster! We also discovered that the Sand Beach bus line passes right by this property on its way back into town, which cuts out walking time if you're tired from hiking in Acadia.
Nice, well-equiped home. Perfectly situated for our needs, 15 minute drive to the top of Cadillac Mtn and short walk to downtown Bar Harbor. Owner very speedy in responding to our questions. Only drawback was the beds, older and not very comfortable. Living room needed dusting. None of this would keep me from renting this home again, though.
Owners take great pride in making sure guests have a pleasant stay!
We had a great stay at Peter and Margaret’s place. We were a family of four with a toddler and elementary school student, and our proximity to the playground, shops, and trails was key to getting out the door without too much fuss. It was great to be able to walk or bike where we wanted to go., and to be 10-25 minutes from most points on MDI. The location could not be more convenient. The house as all of the basics and uses space well. With two active kids, we were grateful for the porch and deck spaces and the front lawn. Peter was extremely responsive when we had a minor plumbing issue and had it sorted within an hour. Parents of young kids and others who need adaptive support to maneuver up stairs, note there is no hand railing on the staircase to the second floor bedrooms.
The weather in Maine was hot and we only had fans, no A/C. The house was OK, built around 1940 with all the charm. The best part was the location to town and all that Bar Harbor has to offer.
We had a lovely stay in Bar Harbor. This property is a wonderful location...walking distance to town and a short drive to Acadia. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to have lobster dinners at home!
Everything was clean and in good working order on our arrival and the check in and check out process was super easy. Parking is tight in Bar Harbor so we were glad to be able to walk to shops and restaurants from the cottage. It's a little bit of a walk (10-15 mins) but better than fighting for a parking place. We also enjoyed an easy hike to the Sieur de Monts area of Acadia from the house. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped (the knives were even sharp!!). There is a cute little deck with a working propane grill right off the kitchen that we enjoyed. A few things to note: there is only one bathroom and it's downstairs, the house has no air conditioning and only some small window fans that don't push much air; if it's a hot day it can become unpleasantly hot in the house because it sits mostly in the full sun and it can get very warm in there midday. Finally, there is comfortable seating for only four people in the living room even though the house sleeps five. We enjoyed our stay overall but you should factor those things in when making your choice.
Perfect location, close enough walk to everything you would want to do, but also on a quiet street so it is peaceful in the evenings to just sit out on the deck. Cottage is very clean and has everything you need. Owners are very responsive if you need them and very friendly.
This was a great spot to stay in Bar Harbor. 10 minute walk to downtown and 4-5 minutes in the car to Acadia. The house is in great shape, we’ll appointed, and immaculate. Highly recommend!
This is our second year staying at Chic In Town and we loved it this year just as much as last year. The location is perfect. We had quick access to Acadia and walked to town each evening for dinner and ice cream. Check in and out was easy. And the homeowners are very responsive which allowed us to quickly settle in and enjoy our vacation.
