Bar Harbor House sits right on the edge of downtown, making it an easy 10‑minute walk to the village for shopping, dining, and waterfront access. The Acadia National Park entrance to Cadillac Mountain is just around the corner. Guests can reach Eagle Lake, Duck Brook, and Witch Hole Carriage Road within minutes. Eagle Lake Road truly lives up to the name, just look up to spot bald eagles or peregrine falcons soaring overhead or nesting nearby. The back field is a natural crossing for deer, turkeys, and other wildlife that wander through. Just across the street is Kebo Valley Golf Course, the 8th‑oldest golf course in the United States. Driveway parking for 2–3 vehicles will help you avoid searching for downtown spots and paying meter fees. Secure storage is available for bikes, kayaks, fishing gear, golf equipment, and more. Inside, a well‑organized brochure wall offers maps, local information, and up‑to‑date island activities to help you plan each day with ease. Avoiding congested Acadia Visitor Centers will save time and frustration! My family has lived on the island for six generations, and we love sharing the history, stories, and hidden secrets of Acadia. Close enough to enjoy everything yet tucked away in a peaceful family neighborhood. Bar Harbor House comfortably hosts up to eight guests and a special place to gather, relax, and make lasting memories. Our home is more than a place to stay, it is an opportunity to experience the true Bar Harbor way of life.

    One of the best rental experiences that we've ever had. Deb was super responsive and thoughtful in all of her communication. She was in touch and available with any questions that we had. Easily the most well stocked rental we've ever been in. Recommend without reservation and we will be staying here again in the future. There were 5 of us and easily could've fit several more.

    From the very beginning, communication with the host, Deb, was fantastic. We knew exactly what to expect before arrival, and the house lived up to expectations. The house was very clean, very well stocked with supplies, and there were plenty of tips for activities. The location was perfect. Just a few minutes to downtown Bar Harbor and a few minutes from Acadia National Park. Deb made sure that our stay was perfect, and we appreciated the small touches that helped with our stay. We were traveling with a 3-year-old, and there was a gate for the stairs, and even had a cute heart night light that our daughter loved. The house had plenty of room for our family, which was nice since the weather was less than ideal. If we have the opportunity to make it back to Maine, we would definitely stay here again.

    This listing is an absolute gem! The location, the space, and most of all the amazing host Deb! Deb was so helpful and accommodating from the get go when we needed to shift travel dates. She was also a wealth of information about the island. A true local and gave us so many helpful tips and spots to see that I never would have known about. She even stocked the kitchen with snacks, breakfast food, and a frozen dinner. We travel a lot, and she was by far the best host we’ve encountered! The home was immaculate and had everything we could need. One thing that really stood out was how much room we had to unpack our clothes! We have rented many places where the dresser and closet space was so limited. I always like to unpack suitcases, and it was great to have so much space! The location of this home is perfect. So close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor’s downtown. A perfect location to hop back to downtown for a late night ice cream trip! We enjoyed our stay in Maine so much and this house and host were a huge part of that. Highly recommend!

    Of all the VRBO-style properties I have stayed in over the years, this one was by far THE BEST for many reasons. The main reason for this evaluation was the incredible communication we had with the property owner. The amount of helpful local knowledge we were given was priceless. The tips and guidance enhanced our trip beyond measure and allowed us to experience so much more than we would have otherwise. Plus, the property was spotless, and there were so many special touches designed for the guests. The listing was spot-on in every way. We parked our vehicle and took the 10-minute walk to downtown on multiple days. Parking is 4 an hour everywhere and often hard to find downtown. On other days we pulled away from the house were turning into Acadia National Park in less than a minute. The location was excellent and if you do not mind a short stroll to the shore and downtown Bar Harbor, you really cannot beat it. It is truly hard to list every bonus that is given to you as a guest at this property but consider that there is a rack of brochures for every attraction you can imagine inside the house! The owner did not miss a thing. We give the property and the experiences 10 out of 10. You will not be disappointed. Trust me!

    I would rate Deborah a 10! She is the best host we ever had. Deborah is exceptional and exceeded all expectations. She is an outstanding host who help provide a wonderful experience and a truly made our trip memorable. Deb was very responsive to all communications being available day and night by phone, texting and emailing.Her response was always quick and offered her assistance. The house was exceptional and well maintained. Immaculately, clean and comfortable. The couches and the reclinerswere so comfortable none of us wanted to get out of them. The interior decorating design was very pleasant. Enjoyed seeing Acadia pictures. Mattresses So were so comfortable and insured a good night sleep. We really appreciated the ironed pillowcases. Deb goes above and beyond with welcoming you into the home. Her hospitality and thoughtfulness, providing food for breakfast and dinner, treats and snacks and water, coffee and coffee creamer, hot chocolate,tea and a fully stocked pantry. Deborah is a wealth of information. She has a wall providing maps and pamphlets and a homemade binder for for exploring in Bar Harbor providing a list of boat tours, hiking trails, restaurants, etc. I utilized much of the information and the recommendation from a local standpoint of view.The location was absolutely perfect so convenient a short walk to town and from there, you could also utilize the free shuttle to Acadia. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here. Ann

    This is a lovely, comfortable, very clean home in a great location—just minutes from downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia. Deb thought of everything to make the home feel welcoming. It was so helpful to have the refrigerator stocked with the basics, a frozen lasagna, and snacks and coffee for our stay. Deb was caring and kind, and she and Dan were available to help if needed.

    The house was absolutely immaculate, with every detail meticulously cared for. Deb was great, a true resource of local knowledge whose suggestions for exploring the area were very helpful. Her recommendations truly elevated our trip!The location was ideal, offering easy access to the heart of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Plus, the quiet side was just a short, scenic drive away, offering a nice change of pace. We especially loved the convenience of being able to walk directly downtown. This spot is a five-star, well appointed, and cared for property with a very responsive owner. This was the best vacation rental we have experienced with lots of thought and care showing throughout the house and with communication.

    Great location. Clean, comfortable, modern house. Fantastic hosts.Everything exceeded our expectations.The house was well stocked with dishes, glassware, cookware and supplies including some fresh food and bottled water. There were notebooks and pens in every room, a closet with toys and musical instruments, and plenty of reading material about Bar Harbor, Acadia, and the area.Deborah and Dan provided detailed information about the house, appliances, and check-out procedures. We decided to visit the Quiet Side based on their recommendation and enjoyed a great hike on the Wonderland and Ship Harbor Trails.We enjoyed our stay at the Bar Harbor House and recommend it to everyone who is planning to visit Acadia.
