Bar Harbor, Maine
About the Property: Quaint home located in a quiet residential neighborhood surrounded by local folks and travelers alike. The home sits next to the edge of Kebo Valley Golf course, the third oldest golf course in the nation. Surrounded by mountains, this home is within one mile of three different entrances to Acadia National Park. Walk to the center of Bar Harbor or easily bike to the park. This location is ideal for those who want to be close to the action yet not in the middle of it. The home offers 2 bedrooms, all new beds, a large sit in kitchen, comfy living area and a great covered porch. A child's bedroom is located off the master bedroom. There is a Graco pack and play and high chair in the house. The home has had recent updates including new floors, windows, and the home was recently sided. It's easy access to restaurants, shopping, and Acadia National Park make this home a great Bar Harbor vacation experience.
This is a cozy and clean house very close to the town center (walkable for a couple of us.) It had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, the living room was a great place for gathering to watch TV in the evenings, and the front porch was a relaxing space outside. We had problems with the television but the hosts helped us sort it out quickly.
Quaint. Cute. Walking distance to Bar Harbor. Quiet neighborhood. Everything was a pictured. Beds were comfortable & communication with owner was easy & quick. We had to leave a day early because of hurricane Lee's approach. Cottage had everything we needed for our stay. Thanks Sharon!
We enjoyed our stay. This is a small cottage perfect for a couple or family with 1-2 kids. Located very close to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Hosts were friendly and responsive. All around a great experience.
Walking to and from Bar Harbor is easy from this house and Acadia is so close that you can go back and forth from there there every day too. Quiet neighborhood and a great porch to hang out on makes for a perfect way to start and end your days. Would absolutely stay here again.
Relaxing and comfortable visit in this quiet neighborhood with a VERY short drive to active downtown Bar Harbor.
The house is conveniently located just outside town closer to Acadia Park Cadillac mountain entrance. We could easily walk into town from the house as there is a sidewalk the whole way. We were able to walk to a bike shop in town and rent ebikes to ride on the carriage roads right from the shop. The house is as advertised. It was cramped for the 2 adult children (20 &18) in the twin bed room. We used the child's room off the queen bedroom as a dressing room. WIFI was good for 4 users as we had no issues. The porch was used everyday. Even in heavy rains, you stay dry on the porch as it is quite deep. We had trouble with the shower head but we were able to figure it out after a while. A small button on the shower head was pushed in and needed to be switched back for it to work again. It is a quiet street with few people and cars driving by. The owner was very responsive to our questions. I highly recommend the 1/2 day trip to the other side of the island the owner recommends in the book. We did it as a morning and lunch trip. It was the best lobster roll of our trip. I appreciated reading the owner history and plans for the house for the future.
My husband and I stayed here for a week in early October with another couple. The location of the house is close to downtown Bar Harbor and close to Acadia National Park, but the street it's located on on was quiet in spite of there being a lot of tourists in town. Many necessities were provided by the owner, such as hand soap, paper towels and basic pantry items. But we did have to purchase detergent for the dishwasher, tissues, toilet paper and some cleaning supplies when we got there. The owner left us a jar of blueberry jam, which was nice. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would consider staying here again if we returned to Bar Harbor.
Nice place and quiet. Needs updating on Kitchen and Bathroom, but worked for us as it was close to Bar Harbor downtown and convenient to go to Acadia.
Wonderful porch for morning coffee, beds were great- kitchen was great for cooking dinners with friends. Retro and charming!
This was such a great place the location was perfect IMO. Close enough to the action but quiet for relaxing. We are cyclist and it was painless to access the loop road, carriage roads and island roads. The bed was comfy and the house just charming. Sharon is an amazing host and made everything perfect for us. We will be checking on the availability here before going anywhere else for our next visit!
We just returned from our vacation near Acadia National Park/ Bar Harbor in Maine. The house is close to both of these destinations. We enjoyed watching the hummingbirds on the relaxing porch; we able to eat our dinners together at the kitchen table; and appreciated the ac during the humid days. The Welcome Book was very helpful (we had a medical emergency & the hospital info was easy to find). We had a wonderful vacation- Thanks, Sharon!
Very nice place to stay at. Well stocked kitchen and bath. Easy access to Acadia and town. Sharon is very nice and responsive. Will be happy to stay here again if we come back to Acadia!
Just returned from a week at Sharon’s home in Bar Harbor. It’s a cute little home in a great location! We walked into town almost every day. Her home is a short drive or bike ride into Acadia. We enjoyed the Weber grill and fully stocked kitchen. There is a grocery store in town and the prices were same as home. My favorite parts about staying here were watching the humming birds from the front porch in the morning and star gazing at night. The night sky was amazing!! Sharon-thank you for sharing your childhood home with us!
This house is within walking distance to Bar Harbor and a short drive to Acadia National Park. Many days we walked to town for dinners and tours. It is also a short drive to the grocery store and less than a 30 minute drive to many of the major sites in the park such as Cadillac Mountain and Sand Beach. Our family enjoyed hiking and exploring the park and surrounding areas of Mount Desert Island. The house was a perfect home base for our vacation. Thanks for letting us stay at your charming house Sharon! Patricia W.
