Rocko's Cottage is located on a side street in the downtown area of the beautiful island town of Bar Harbor. We are pet friendly for your well mannered four legged friends. Rocko was actually our 7 lb Dorkie. (Dachshund/Yorkie)

You will be within walking distance of over 25 restaurants ranging from fine dining to family fare. Bicycle rentals, kayaking trips, and unique shops galore are all just minutes away from your front door and yes we can tell you which of these places welcome pets. Walk the shore path or across a natural sand bar (actually a glacial deposit) to visit beautiful Bar Island. Never have to worry about parking your car or enjoying a cocktail and then driving.

Rocko's Cottage was built in 2005 and is tastefully and comfortably furnished. You will find everything that you need to enjoy your stay. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessities of life, and the linens are all in good condition. The open floor plan actually makes our cottage appear much larger inside. It must be noted that the bathroom does not have a tub but does have a nice 4 ft. shower and for your convenience there is a stackable washer and dryer. This is a great house and location for people that travel with pets or just one or two couples or a small family that want to stay in the heart of town. Once you visit us you will be sure to return again and again.

We, the owners, live locally and we are always only a phone call away if there is a problem. Welcome to our home and enjoy your stay....

    The Cottage was wonderful and we highly recommend it. The location is perfect - you can easily walk down historic Main Street for restaurants and shops. You’re only a 10 minute drive from Acadia and other great adventures. The Cottage was very clean and many “extras” including a washer-dryer (makes packing easier), extra towels and poop bags for dogs, white noise machines in the bedrooms (it’s quiet so you don’t need them, but it’s a nice touch) and comfortable beds (we appreciated having a king). Lisa and Rick are very nice and live next door in case you need anything.

    Property is ideal for a couple or small family. Located off Main Street in Bar Harbor, it was perfect for walks to restaurants, shops, the Shore Path or anything else in the downtown area and also minutes away from Acadia National Park. The place was really clean and had all the basics needed for the week. The owners, Lisa and Rick, made check in easy and were quick to respond to questions. As others have said, this house is a hidden gem in Bar Harbor. I would definitely book again if I ever go back and I truly wish we could have stayed a little longer.

    I have enjoyed all the VRBO's I've stayed at, but this was the best. The home was incredibly clean and very comfortable. It was supplied with everything we needed and more. The host was easy to communicate with and left a lot of valuable information about restaurants and activities for us to go through. We didn't know how to work something on the TV and Lisa and Rick stopped over within 10 minutes of my text to show us what to do. They are both very nice and helpful. The house is located 5 munutes from the square in Bar Harbor. We walked to all the shopping and restaurants. We only needed our car to get out to Acadia.

    Could not ask for a better location. We brought our bikes and could bike 5 minutes from Rocco’s Cottage to the carriage roads entrance at Duck Brook. From there you can create your own adventure of 10,20, 30 mile loops on some of the best gravel riding in the country!You are a 30 second? walk from Bar Harbor downtown as well. We walked to the local ice cream shop every evening for post ride rewards.

    This was our third time staying at Rocko's cottage and we are at the point that we really don't wish to stay anywhere else when we are visiting MDI! The cottage suits our needs perfectly, with its proximity to downtown Bar Harbor and more importantly as a launch pad for all of our hiking adventures in the National Park. The kitchen was perfect for our simple dinners (in between lobster roll lunches), the living room suitable for winding down after hard days of hiking, and the bed comfortable. Thank you again, Lisa and Rick, for your hospitality. I hope we have the chance to stay again!

    Lovely, lovely, lovely. By far the best rental we have ever had the pleasure of calling home for a week. Impeccably clean, quality and comfort throughout, quiet neighborhood yet easily walkable to the center of town, hosts are welcoming and respond quickly to any questions you may have. Stop scrolling and stay here.
