Quiet Cottage in the heart of Bar Harbor 2026 Vacation Rental Permit VR2R26-343

This property is cosy, unpretentious, family friendly and felt like home! Super clean, equipped with everything you need.It was a quick walk to bustling Main Street, but wonderfully quiet when we returned. Loved staying here!

Host was responsive. House was close to everything we were there for….shopping, restaurants and Acadia. The driveway was a tight fit for our F150, but other than that we had no issues.

Just got back from our annual trip and we're already looking forward to staying there again next year. We are very grateful to the owners for providing us with the opportunity to stay in their wonderful little cottage. We just love staying here because of the convenient in-town location (walk to everything), cozy space, and of course, great hosts. See you next year! Thank you!!

Cute classic cottage with lots of “character”. Depicted accurately in photos. It is old and worn and creaky but everything works perfectly and furniture is very comfortable. Possibly the best bed I’ve ever slept on in a rental property! And WOW - a full size washer and dryer! What a pleasure after all the tiny machines I’ve used at other properties. Many other reviews have mentioned the fantastic location and I echo that. I would give Snow Street five stars if it weren’t for the cramped bathroom, lack of electrical plugs, and the booth in the kitchen which was just too tight for me. A table with chairs would offer more flexibility for eating, playing games or working at computer. If you are looking for slick new construction this is not your place. If you want to experience rustic charming old school Maine then grab it! If you want the best area of Bar Harbor, this is it!It was convenient and comfortable and the hosts could not have been nicer or more responsive A wonderful, quaint, quirky, super comfortable property! Well done, Herb and Toni!!!!

Home is in a good location for downtown.

Great location for dogs. Super close to everything you’d need and far enough away from the crowds to be able to relax.

We had an amazing week in this adorable home in Bar Harbor! The home was very clean and Herb was very responsive and helpful in making suggestions for navigating through the town and Acadia. The location of the home is perfect. We could literally leave the car in the driveway and go everywhere we wanted by walking or taking the Island Explorer bus. It was great that not only was our dog welcomed by Herb but also was welcomed in the town with a plethora of water dishes, treats and dog friendly businesses. Moose enjoyed the Shore Path the most. Thanks for a great week, Herb!

What a great house. So convenient to the Shore path where I headed at 5 to see the sky do it’s magic. Quiet neighborhood. Loved using the bikes in Acadia. The house is so welcoming and cheery. Beautiful flowers and rocks. Walk one street and you are at restaurants that will delight you. Owners so helpful and provide all you need( and more!). Some of the nicest people I’ve ever dealt with.

Nice vintage cottage house. Reminded me of my grandma's house. Everything was clean with all the amenities. Enjoyed the closeness to downtown Bar Harbor and enjoyed that we could walk the harbor walk and end up on the street of the cottage.

Amazing week! Highly recommend!

The house is quaint and a perfect location for Bar Harbor. The neighborhood is beautiful and we walked into town many evenings for dinner or late night ice cream. Having two bedrooms is so nice with the kids, we loved hanging out in the living room after they went to bed. Also loved having a washer and dryer after going to the beach a couple days. We were surprised how well appointed this VRBO was! Beach towels, blanket, chairs, toys, etc all for use. Tons of maps and family games. Nice kitchen with plenty of supplies. It felt like home on vacation, just wonderful for a family. Thank you for such a nice stay!

Very conveniently located to downtown yet in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Perfect for our stay!

Our stay in Bar Harbor was perfect. The cottage was so conveniently located to the downtown area. Which made such a difference in never having to worry about the limited street parking. We brought our pup and walked everywhere. The shore walk is just around the corner and takes you to the beautiful harbor park. The house had everything we needed, was well stocked and was very clean. Herb and Toni were very responsive hosts and offered suggestions on dining spots, (we loved McKays!) and hiking, (the Flying Mountain hike was gorgeous!). The home is very convenient to Acadia, less than 10 minutes. The park is beautiful! So worth a visit. We hope to come back soon. Thanks for helping make our trip so memorable.

So relaxing - great location - street quiet - made good use of lobster pot 👍 - from the moment we opened the front door. It fell like being at a family members house. If we are fortunate enough to get back to Bar Harbor, we would definitely stay there only longer. Thank you for making our time in Bar Harbor feel like being home.

The great thing about this property is it serves as a fantastic launch pad for Acadia and is walkable to all of Bar Harbor! The hosts were super kind in accommodating us and the check in process was super clear! I was a little caught off guard by how drafty the house is and not having hvac vents in the bedrooms, which meant it got super cold at night, no matter the thermostat setrings. Adults can bundle up, but it’s different with an infant that you can’t layer under blankets. I was also a little surprised by how much in person interaction there was, including knocking on windows when we were there. Clarification on how much in person interaction a guest wants for future guests may be helpful, as some of us want vacations to get away from interaction :).

We come here every year and we are so thankful to be able to stay at this property. The owners are very responsive when we have questions. The property is cozy and comfortable, and in an excellent location. We are already looking forward to our next stay. Thank you.

Quaint craftsman cottage, in a lovely neighborhood convenient to everything.

We had a great time in Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We were able to walk where ever we wanted in Bar Harbor and could be anywhere in Acadia in under half an hour. The light house cruise and the carriage ride on the Carriage Roads were the best and something everyone visiting the area should do.
