WELCOME TO FALCON'S NEST!

Our charming, updated 3-bedroom home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood on a corner lot, just an easy five-minute walk from downtown Bar Harbor. You'll be close enough to walk to restaurants, shops, the Shore Path and the Island Explorer, while still enjoying a peaceful neighborhood to come home to after a day of exploring.

Falcon's Nest is a comfortable and welcoming home for families, couples or friends traveling together. The home has three bedrooms upstairs: a king bedroom, a bedroom with two twin beds (which can also be converted to a king upon request), and a third bedroom with bunk beds that are especially well suited for children.

The first floor features a comfortable living room with sectional sofa, an updated kitchen with a large eat-in island, an additional dining table for two, and a full bathroom. A washer and dryer are conveniently located on the first floor as well.

OUTDOOR SPACE

One of the things our guests love most about Falcon's Nest is the private fenced backyard. After a day hiking in Acadia or exploring Bar Harbor, relax on the back deck, enjoy dinner at the outdoor table, or fire up the gas grill. There's also a covered front porch and a private driveway for convenient off-street parking.

Traveling with your dog The private fenced backyard gives your four-legged family member a safe place to enjoy some outdoor time.

Falcon's Nest makes it easy to enjoy both Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Downtown is just a short walk away, while Acadia is only about a five-minute drive.

The Island Explorer provides free seasonal transportation around Mount Desert Island, making it easy to leave your car behind when exploring Bar Harbor and many Acadia destinations.

The YMCA and nearby athletic fields, including basketball, tennis/pickleball, baseball and soccer facilities, are just a couple of blocks away, making Falcon's Nest especially convenient for families. If golf is your thing, historic Kebo Valley Golf Club is also nearby. Established in 1888, Kebo is the oldest golf club in Maine and the eighth-oldest in the United States, and is open to public play.”

A HOME THAT FEELS LIKE HOME

We take great pride in making Falcon's Nest comfortable, clean and exceptionally well equipped for our guests. We want you to have everything you need for a relaxing Bar Harbor vacation, from a comfortable place to sleep after a day on the trails to a kitchen that makes preparing a meal at home easy. Falcon's Nest is more than a place to stay; it's a home away from home.

Our guests consistently tell us that the comfortable furnishings, exceptionally well-stocked kitchen, cleanliness and easy walk to downtown are what make Falcon's Nest special. We have many guests who return year after year.

We'd love to welcome you to Falcon's Nest and help make your Bar Harbor and Acadia vacation a memorable one!

    We had a great time visiting the area. The house was very nice, comfortable, and in a perfect location. There are plenty of restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. The owner communicated well and even checked in by text to make sure everything was going smoothly. We also appreciated the welcome jar of blueberry jam and the dog treat for our dog, Loki — such a thoughtful touch.One small tip for future guests: bring a sleep mask. The sun rises early, and even with the blinds closed, the room gets bright. Not an issue unless you’re hoping to sleep past 5 AM lol.

    The home was absolutely perfect- it had everything we could possibly need during our week long stay and the location can’t be beat. It is close enough to walk into town and only a few minutes by car to Acadia. The house was very clean and Bobby was quick to respond to all communications. He left us a blueberry crumble cake that was so delicious. We’ve been visiting Bar Harbor for many years now and this is the first time we used Vrbo and were very pleased with the whole experience. We’ll definitely be using it again and staying at this house for all our future travels to MDI. Thanks so much Bobby and Sandi!

    We were once again wowed by our stay at Falcon's Nest. Bobby and Sandi are Super Host for a reason. This home has it all from the comfy furniture and beds to the most well-stocked kitchen we've ever come across. This rental doesn't feel a house, it feels like a home. The proximity to town is great for those who enjoying walking to restaurants and/or shopping. Once again, I'll be counting the days until our next stay!

    The house was in the most perfect location. We walked everywhere and the drive into Acadia was extremely close as well. Especially if you’d like to see Jordan Pond and Cadillac Mountain. The hosts were attentive and responded quickly. The house was also stocked perfectly, we loved the amount of towels and blankets. The house was very clean and fit our group of 5 very well. Would definitely stay here again!

    This house is a true charm. My family and pups had a fantastic time hiking, walking in town,and eating lobster. It was great to know we had this house to come back to at the end of the day. The host, Bobby, provides EVERYTHING you need for an excellent stay. Communication with him is prompt and complete. We will definately book again if we visit again. My husband and son enjoyed the front porch with morning coffee and my daughter and dogs enjoyed the deck out back in the sunshine. We arrived a few minutes early for check in and met Bobby when he was finishing a few last touches of the property for us. Stay here. You won't be disappointed -- you won't want to leave!

    We had a fantastic week at this home in Bar Harbor! The hosts were excellent from initial questions/pre-booking to reminding us they were available for any questions during the visit. Our dog loved having access to the fully fenced-in yard. The location was ideal: far enough from town to be quiet but within a half-mile to most restaurants as well as the shore path, and easy access to Acadia National Park. The house was very clean, downstairs was roomy with a fully functioning kitchen and friendly layout being open/adjacent to the LR, couch was comfortable and a good-sized TV for downtime. For anyone with kids, there are open fields and a playground right down the street. When we return to Bar Harbor, we wouldn't hesitate to re-book this home.

    The home was perfect in every way for our family of 4 plus small pup, Close to Acadia and walking distance to town. The fenced in yard was wonderful for the pup and kids, as was the proximity to the YMCA, playground and fields. The home was extremely clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies, linens and towels. The host (Bobby) was extremely responsive and gifted us and the pup and arrival treat. Highly recommend this home for a convenient, clean and quiet visit to Acadia and Bar Harbor.

    Absolutely terrific place that was perfect for the 4 of us (two couples). The place was exactly as advertised, and was in an ideal location, walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor in the evenings and a short 5-minute drive to Acadia National Park for the day. House was also well equipped for meals when we ate in. Bobby the host was incredibly attentive. When we had an issue, he not only responded promptly, he was at the house a few minutes later to make sure we could figure it out. Would definitely stay here again when we come back to Bar Harbor.

The host left detailed information inside the rental and the home itself is updated and completely stocked with everything needed for an amazing week! The supplied linens and towels were in excellent condition and in plentiful supply. We could not have asked for a more perfect home away from home for the week.

We love walking so loved how we could walk into town and also walk over to the trails and do some beautiful hikes. We also brought bikes and did some nice rides. If you are looking for a lovely home, close to Acadia and town, with very responsive hosts, we would totally recommend this house.

    Bobby and Sandi’s place was an amazing find. Great location, abundant amenities, and wonderful hosts. The property is well laid out so that we didn’t feel we were on top of one another. Two full bathrooms made the days easier to get a group going out the door and settled in at the end of the day. The fireplace made for a cozy gathering space at night and the comfortable beds and quiet neighborhood made for great sleeping. As we were there in off season, getting to and around Acadia by car was easy and the Park is amazing. Great restaurants and shopping are just blocks away from the house so, in high season this could be an ideal location to avoid traffic in Bar Harbor and use the frequent bus routes to access Acadia. We are already dreaming of a return trip to Bobby and Sandi’s place.

    Bobby and Sandi brought our favorite vacation spot to a whole new level. The house is immaculate and had everything we needed (and then some). We like to cook and wanted for nothing in the galley. The furniture in the living room is very comfortable and the fireplace was a welcome treat. The bed in the master bedroom was fantastic and made for a good night's sleep. We loved being able to walk to town and the fact that there are sidewalks on the surrounding streets (a real treat for our pup). The town fields are in the backyard, and we met fellow dog owners and played some frisbee. I can hardly wait to return in the Spring so we can enjoy the front porch and backyard.

    My daughter, dog and I visited Bar Harbor for the first time over the Thanksgiving holiday. We arrived finding a fresh pumpkin pie and lovely note of welcome on the kitchen counter. From this initial greeting, our stay was nothing short of magical. Bobby and Sandy's house is perfectly situated--close to downtown and all the Main street shops and restuarants and it backs up to a park which is perfect for those traveling with their fur baby. An added amenity is the fenced in back yard. The house was clean, the beds were comfy and the tv was easy to work, the neighborhood friendly and safe. I would not hesitate to recommend this property if someone desires an authentic Bar Harbor experience!
