Welcome to Woods and Waters, a spacious and bright 4-bedroom home abutting Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, ME. We are Spruce Properties Bar Harbor, also available online at sprucepropertiesbarharbor.wordpress.com. Please visit our website to reach us directly or learn more about our properties.

Walk up stairs and enter a lovely, welcoming entryway with plenty of space for shoes and bags. The house flows into a comfortable, open living and dining area with a cathedral ceiling and skylights that fill the space with warm natural light. The kitchen is fully stocked with quality knives, non-stick pans, and tupperware, and is easy to cook in while partaking in conversation in the living room/dining room. We have plenty of books and games to enjoy on the cozy couches, a breakfast nook that looks out into the woods, and a small upper deck for coffee or stargazing. I would describe our house as nothing fancy but comfortable and functional.

The first floor holds the living area, kitchen, half bathroom and 2 bedrooms, one with 2 twin beds and one with 1 twin bed. On the second floor are 2 bedrooms with queen beds, the laundry, washer/dryer, and a full bathroom. The master bedroom in particular is spacious and bright - enjoy birds-eye views of Champlain Mtn or star gazing through the sky lights.

Woods and Waters is located 3 miles from downtown Bar Harbor on one of the most scenic stretches of Route 3 passing between Champlain and Dorr mountains. The house has a private location set back from the main road and nestled against Cadillac Mtn, giving the feeling of living in the trees but close enough for quick trips to town or to the beach. It is
Notes: This property is NOT handicapped-accessible. For A/C, we have heat pumps in the downstairs and master bedroom and fans for all rooms. Pets considered upon request. There is parking for 2 cars next to the house. Bar Harbor rental registration #1825.

    This house is more expensive than its competitors in the area, but it’s well worth it if you prize “bright and spacious.” It’s truly bright and spacious, and very well designed for a group. This is especially important if you think you might not be spending all your time outside.

    This is the nicest and cleanest place we have ever stayed during vacation. It is a great location right in the center of the Acadia National Park. The best experience, thank you!!!!

    Great house, perfect distance from Bar Harbor. Secluded. The water was not what it was portrayed in the picture. Not a big deal for my family but I would not use it on the opening page.

    Great location for exploring Acadia National Park. One minor issue that was addressed quickly. House was as described and worked well for both adults and children.

    We had a wonderful time here. The place is very sweet. It is well located - outside of Bar Harbor but very close. It is definitely not fancy - but has everything you need.

    The hosts were superb! Communications started well before we arrived at their house on Otter Creek Drive. Everything that was expected was there upon arrival. Amazingly, hiking trails were found right out the front door. We were able to walk to other trails nearly by and made it to the top of Cadillac Mountain! We give the Spruces our very best wishes and hope that we can arrange for another visit next year.

    Had a great time. Kids had fun at the hidden water pond. Kyle was great to deal with. Very easy check in. When we had issues he replied quickly and was helpful. Would just say the house maybe could have been a little cleaner. Overall, a good stay and super location.

    My crew came up to enjoy the beauty of nature with several planned hikes throughout Acadia. The most appealing aspect of this property was the proximity to Acadia. It was LITERALLY a 4 minute drive to the Acadia entrance and probably 5 minutes to the center of Bar Harbors shopping area. Communition with the host was flawless.

    Clean and well-maintained property tucked away in the woods but bright inside. Swimming hole off trails in the back is an added bonus. Overall great place to stay.

    When visiting Maine and Acadia National Park, there is no better place to stay than Woods and Waters! This open-concept family home is located at the base of Cadillac Mountain, steps from Acadia Park. Its location is absolutely perfect! The house has a detailed (waterproof) map of the many trails of Acadia that are left, right and all-around this wonderful property. It is a short drive (less than 4 mi) down the street to get to downtown Bar Harbor (Otter Creek turns into Main Street Bar Harbor. It was wonderful to go to downtown for the whale watching and shopping but yet retreat back to Woods and Waters for the cozy, relaxed get away in the woods. We even explored the trails on the property and found the creek and watering hole. The kids swam and made wonderful memories. Catrina was extremely responsive and helpful before and during our trip. This home is a definite YES!!!

    Property is close to town and close to Acadia which makes it great after a long day of hiking or sightseeing. Skylights are great at night in the master bedroom but make it a little difficult when the sun creeps in before 5 in the morning. We didn’t do much cooking but the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cookware. Would recommend having more plentiful paper towels and toilet paper available for guests as those aren’t things we usually worry about running out of at other properties visited in the past. It was also nice having a house in the woods and we were able to hike to the creek nearby. The window units worked well keeping the home cool during the day with the summer heat but otherwise weren’t necessary at night time when things cooled down. Overall would recommend staying at Woods and Waters.
