Bar Harbor, Maine
Imagine starting your day hearing the bell buoy near the famed Ocean Path of Acadia National Park. You decide to walk or bike from your house to watch the sunrise light up Otter Cliffs and Monument Cove. You have the place mainly to yourself, and the seagulls. You walk a little further to see what action might be happening at Thunderhole. From there you see that Sand Beach isn't much further, and you realize that you chose a home base as close to the Park as it gets. A rare location, indeed.
While one of the best aspects of this property is it's location to the treasures of Acadia, the property itself hosts a maze of stone walks and gardens with granite lined paths in honor of the trail makers of the area. The home is surrounded on 3 sides by fields, with the National Park's hardwood forest edge right along the back boundary. From here it is quick to make your way down the hill to Otter Cove and beachcomb at low tide.
The yard is private with open meadows, apple trees, dragonflies, garden paths and extensive perennial gardens to enjoy. The southwest corner provides hammocks perched in the whispering ash and poplar forest, with views out to the south ridge of Cadillac Mountain.
A perfect slice of solitude for the artist, curious child, explorer.
Your secluded back patio area offers a peaceful setting where you can plan your day's adventures. It's a place to relax after a long day of exploring, or, you may choose to head the 6 miles into the hub of Bar Harbor for meals and live music. Whatever you choose, this Otter Cliff house is the perfect jumping off point to visit Mount Desert Island and Acadia, and it offers its own unique natural beauty and relaxing atmosphere.
(Please note, during the peak summer weeks, this is a Sunday check-in with a 7 night minimum stay. Otherwise, it's a 4 night minimum).
Wonderful rental close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor
This property was central to hikes, very private yard, clean and comfortable. The stay was perfect
This property was amazing. It was as described. Very clean and had everything you would need to cook a meal. The kitchen was stocked well with plates, pots and pans etc and it has a full sized fridge. Plenty of toilet paper and towels! Sherri was great. We had a problem with the dishwasher and she was on it immediately. She was easy to get in touch with. A very gracious host. The house was very pleasant. Beautiful artwork and the garden was amazing. It was so relaxing to sit in the garden in the morning. The house was very private and quiet. Our first morning we were greeted by wild turkeys! It was conveniently located to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor (15ish minutes). It is one of the best vacation houses, I have stayed in. I would love to stay there again!
