Downtown Bar Harbor - 3 BD/2 BA - Big Porch and Yard, Steps from Village Green

Loved this gem of a house a block away from the hustle and bustle of the main street. We had plenty of room for the 6 of us. Loved the front porch for breakfast and dinner. House was super clean.

Can’t beat the location and space! Worked out great being able to walk to destinations.

Our family had the best visit to Bar Harbor. Stephanie was a top notch host - super responsive, very accommodating and quick to respond whenever we had questions or needed anything. The house was spacious, comfortable and had everything our group needed for our stay. Couldn’t have asked for a better location - it was literally steps away from downtown Bar Harbor but also felt very quiet/safe and private. It was a wonderful place to unwind after days of hiking in Acadia and exploring Bar Harbor.

This is our family’s second time staying at this property! We love this house and Bar Harbor!! Highly recommend staying at this spot. Everything is within walking distance and the area is absolutely beautiful! Thanks Stephanie!

This historic home was immaculate and in the very best location to everything in town. You could park the car and not need it for your entire stay. Amazing experience and a fantastic host.

Lovely home right in the heart of Bar Harbor. The location is perfect and just steps to so many restaurants and shops and boutiques. Our party of 6 retirees really enjoyed this lovely home. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Even though we didn't cook much the kitchen was stocked with everything a person would need to prepare a full meal. The 3 upstairs bedrooms were perfect and there were lots of pillows and blankets available to suit individual needs.The host Stephanie very responsive and was easily reachable when we had a couple of questions.I highly recommend this property if you're looking for a great place to stay in Bar Harbor where you can walk to nearly everything. We had such a great time!

Superb location. Great house.

Absolutely wonderful and clean home in Bar Harbor. The set up and amenities were thoughtful, the host was exceptionally kind and helpful, and the location is excellent: central to downtown yet quiet. Stayed here with 5 other family members and would absolutely stay here again.

This is a lovely, comfortable home with a lot of charm. The location is perfect, just steps from the busy Bar Harbor downtown streets yet still private. Stephanie is a welcoming and gracious host. Overall, this is a perfect place to stay for a family visiting Acadia National Park.

Loved staying at the Vista Cottage, as we were able to walk to everything in Bar Harbor. So very convenient! What a beautiful home base to come back to after hiking, E-biking, kayaking and fishing. Many thanks for sharing this gem with us for a perfect week in Maine!

The location of this property could not be more perfect - right in the heart of downtown Bar Harbor, with a coffee shop just right behind the house! Our family of 2 young children loved this house and it fit all of our needs. Private and quiet space while still walking distance to everything you'd want and need.

Great location and beautiful home!

We had a WONDERFUL stay at Vista Cottage. We all agreed this was our favorite family vacation. House is beautiful and we loved the personal touches and detailed binder Stephanie leaves for guests. Location from downtown is literally 5 minutes and we loved jumping on the easily accessible bus from the Village to get into the park. Our only recommendation (to the extent possible) is that a grill be added for BBQs for easy dinners. Hugest thanks, Stephanie! We will be returning and recommending Vista to friends and family!

Great location and great house! So close to restaurants and shops, but very quiet. Our family enjoyed the peaceful front porch. Thank you so much!

This cottage is a jewel, definitely the best place to stay in Bar Harbor! The location is so wonderful, just off the busy streets tucked back on a very spacious lot. We could relax on the wonderful large porch and not be seen from the street! It is so private and quiet, a little oasis of calm, yet only a couple blocks from the start of the busy downtown area, making it so convenient to walk everywhere. Stephanie is a wonderful host, very available for any questions or to resolve any issues that might arise. She made check in so simple! There is a fully updated kitchen with everything you could possibly need. Nice large bedrooms well-stocked with linens, towels and whatever else you might want. A beautiful old house with so much charm and personality. We will definitely be staying here on our next trip to the area. Thank you so much, Stephanie, for providing such a wonderful home away from home!

Bar Harbor is an adorable little tourist town on the doorstep of Acadia National Park, a stunning national treasure. This home could not be better located for enjoying both of these to the full, being steps away from the village green, the shore path, and tons of delightful local eateries. We had a minor mishap on arrival, as there was no key where we expected it to be, but Stephanie got in touch within 15 mins and resolved the situation right away. She was responsive and helpful and there were tons of thoughtful little touches throughout the home that made our trip easy and comfortable. As of June 2025 there is a small building site one street over, which occasionally created some annoying noise as we sat on the lovely porch, but this was a minor annoyance on an otherwise wonderful vacation. Highly recommended!

We had a very nice stay and Stephanie was quick to respond to all questions. The house is in a quiet location 1/2 a block off of the main strip. We could walk to everything and didn't have to be concerned about finding parking. The house was very clean and we had everything as listed. Although the house is a little older and has some quirks, they were very minor and will not stop us from staying there again. Thank you Stephanie!

We loved the house, were very comfortable, and you cannot beat the location!

Loved everything about our stay in Bar Harbor. With leaves hitting their peak and the MDI marathon, the location could not have been better. The town was busy but being able to park at our place and walk everywhere was perfect. The home was spacious for our family of five. Small touches like local beer in the fridge and scented candles in each room added to the experience.

Perfect house for four adults. Nice kitchen with good supply of cooking essentials. Great location. Very nice old house. We enjoyed it a lot!

House was fabulous!!. Location was just what we were looking for. Chilly damp visit so needed heat. Kitchen and downstairs bathroom were a little chilly. Upstairs bathroom - need to add a shower head as it was missing and showering was a challenge so we used the one downstairs which was great.

Network tv was not available. The how to book said heat instructions were on the back cover. They were not. Stephanie was very helpful, but we spent too much time on things that should have been simple and easy at this price point.
