In town Bar Harbor Waterfront Home

We would definitely stay here again. This is a great property

Elizabeth our host was so welcoming and responsive to all of our needs. The location in town is excellent for restaurants, shops and close access to Acadia. The house is spacious and homey with large rooms to accommodate family needs. We hope to return!

An amazing location, so much to do. I'm a happy repeat visitor.

Love this property. Perfect for all interests. Hiking, shopping, photography. Love our time here.

Helpful and responsive host, very comfortable. Close to town but quiet!

Great place for a family reunion. My family of 14 stayed at the Shore Path Cottage in August 2025. The location is perfect. Sunrises are amazing as they pour into the side yard each morning. The outdoor space is beautiful and includes a wrap-around porch, an expansive grass area, a fire pit, grill, table in the yard, and direct access to the shore path. The kitchen is huge and well equipped, allowing multiple family members to prepare meals while others just hung out there just to watch the action. The Dining Room accommodated 14 of us very comfortably. Believe all of the amazing reviews!!

The Shore Path Cottage was a wonderful setting for a multigenerational family vacation for our group of 14. Ages ranged from 9 months to 76. The location was very close to the center of Bar Harbor, with plenty of restaurants, shopping and tour companies. But it was also tucked in at the end of a quiet street and the back yard went down to the Shore Path and the ocean. The house was very comfortable with large rooms and reasonable acoustic separation which was tested by the presence of 2 babies. The kitchen was large and well stocked with pots, pans and other cooking implements. We cooked a number of meals, eating outside or at the large dining room table. There was a good selection of outdoor toys and games for the older kids ages 2-9. Badminton, volleyball and corn hole were the favorite games. They loved going down to the tide pools and walking to town for ice cream. The host was staying next door when we were there. She was welcoming and helpful when we had a minor issue. We enjoyed running, riding bikes in the park, hiking and even I a dip in the cold water. After a few of the most popular hikes in the park (Jordan Pond, Cadillac Mountain), we appreciated some outings on the quiet side of the island. We learned that cell service is spotty in the park, so plan ahead!

We had a wonderful week at the Shore Path Cottage with our extended family. The home is situated in an ideal location near all the charm of Bar Harbor, yet feels quiet and secluded with large green space for children to play. Roberta warm welcome was especially kind. Highly recommend this spot for families!

This home is absolutely beautiful and the location is perfect with stunning view of the bay and walking distance to all the wonderful restaurants and shops! Top of the line appliances in a dream kitchen! Lovely bedrooms with numerous bathrooms! Roberta the host and Lisabeth the property manager are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet! If you’re planning a trip to Bar Harbor this home will not disappoint!!!

A great house right on the water with access to the shore path (which is exactly where you want to be for walkability around Bar Harbor). We all (15 of us) had a fantastic July 4th week cooking at the house, sitting around the firepit, playing badminton and just hanging out on the porch. Formerly run as in inn, this home has a fabulous, rambling feel that is perfect for multi-family gatherings. A cherry on top is that Roberta (who lives next door) and Elizabeth are the most wonderful hosts.

We stayed here for a week with a large family (12 people), ages 10-80. The pictures on the listing don't do it justice. It's very spacious, with plenty of room and rooms for all. Old school charm, but very comfortably furnished in all bedrooms & living spaces. We enjoyed afternoon drinks on the porch while the kids played badminton in the yard and made scores by the fire pit.The location was perfect - less than 10 min walk to Main St, Bar Harbor, or via the Shore Path. Short driving to all parts of Acadia.The owners live nearby and were very friendly, but never intrusive. All of our questions received a quick & helpful response.We had a truly memorable family week here!

Great Property! Would love to stay there again.

Our hosts were great and very helpful

A wonderful home to rest and relax in and a location that can’t be beat. Five stars!

Perfect for our group of 10 friends for a week enjoying Acadia and surrounds. Fabulous home allowed us to cook and eat together, hang out, and also have quiet privacy if needed.

Perfect place to spend a week exploring the area and enjoying each other's company.
