Spacious 19th century 7 bedroom family farmhouse close to Acadia and the shore

Fantastic Stay!!! Very close to Acadia and all the activities you could wish for!

Older but great house. Nice and big for the whole family. Ok location. Deers in the back yard. Had everything we needed

The property was very group friendly with multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, seating areas, etc. The kitchen was particularly group/family friendly with plenty of tableware, cook ware, seating. Nice outdoor picnic tables and umbrellas on the deck. We loved watching the wildlife (deer, turkeys, and chickens). The proximity to Acadia National Park was a huge plus.This is a charming old farm house with all the issues that implies. The outside is in need of some attention and door locks need some work. The host left a beautiful vase of flower and a note to welcome us.

This house was fantastic! Great location for going to Acadia National Park. Very quiet neighborhood. The house is very nicely appointed and absolutely lovely. So many different areas to sit and relax or talk. Exceeded expectations. Great communication with owner.

Great stay! Wish we had booked longer!

Good location close to ocean and restaurants very spacious

We loved this house! It had everything we needed and more. Bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms well stocked. It was quaint and on a quiet property. Close to town and close to park entrance.

Perfect house and location for our family vacation. Lots of room inside and out for us all to spread out. Everything we needed for the week was provided. We had no problems with anything in the house. We walked to the beach and restaurants a few times. Most of our time was spent in Acadia National Park, which was less than a mile away. All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Magical Bar Harbor Farmhouse Ideal for Acadia Vacation!This magical, lovingly decorated and outfitted farmhouse with its curated collection of antique gardening tools and vintage furniture and decor welcomed our party of 13 (grandparents, parents, 20-somethings, and middle-school-aged children) with its custom-fit-for-us, comfortable 3 Kings, 3 Queens, 1 Full, and 3 twins as well as 4 well-stocked full bathrooms. The private location was quite near to Acadia National Park (technical climbs, Cadilac and Pemetic Mountains, Jordan Pond popovers, Sand Beach, a bald eagle, photogenic views), Bar Harbor (the land bridge, grocery store, Greek pizza place, Havana Restaurant, Thirsty Whale Tavern, and CJ’s Big Dipper ice cream/frozen yoghurt), and the Lobster Pound (hot or cold lobster rolls, lobster nachos, fish & chips, veggie tacos, grilled cheese, coleslaw) with its picnic tables and ice cream boat and nearby miniature golf. The living room welcomed home our exhausted early rising mountain climbers with deep, comfortable leather chairs, a table for jigsaw puzzles, and a reading nook. Our in-house Chef and Bartender served tempting concoctions, created in the bar nook and well-equipped kitchen, on three generously sized dining tables (also perfect for card games). Our scavenger hunt was to find 10 chickens and 10 pigs in the house’s decor. The smart XL washer/dryer allowed us to pack light for long air flights. We had perfect weather—no rain the entire week.

The location was excellent! We had a vacation with extended family from age 84 to 3. It was nice to be close to Acadia and restaurants.

Secluded hide away with an old farmhouse layout. Put the grandparents in the downstairs bedroom, open all the windows and turn on all the fans to take advantage of cooler mornings. No one gets their own bathroom so be kind and keep your stuff in your room, but plenty of hot water and funky layout! Available laundry room upstairs is a great advantage to this property. Hulls Cove beach is a 10 min walk downhill. Lake Wood Pond is a 5 min drive for a quiet swimming hole. Great big breakfast area and deck and large well-appointed kitchen for family gatherings. Bring a yard game for playing on the lawn!

When looking for a place to house my LARGE family of 15 people, I came upon this listing. This home was perfect! Not only was it large enough for us to all to relax, eat and talk, but there was also enough beds for everyone and space to get away from each other when needed. It had all the charm and character of an old house, but with all the modern extras and was within walking distance of the water and just minutes from the park entrance. Trish was the perfect host, replying almost immediately when we had a question or came across a problem. We also appreciated all the extras that came with the home: all the paper products, soaps both for cleaning and in the bathrooms, enough fans in the bedrooms to help cool it down during our heat wave, and puzzles and games for the evenings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The house was perfect for our family vacation! There were 14 of us! Everyone had room to be alone and community space! We highly recommend this property! Trish was attentive to our needs and supplied many items not normally at rentals, spices, paper towels, cleaning supplies, toilet paper, hand soaps, etc.

We are a very lucky family- 4 generations strong, and we get together for a week every summer. Our family has grown over the years, and this vacation at Cider House included all 15 of us! From our 3 yr old to the nearly 80 year olds, everyone had a wonderful time. From cooking and eating together (we are COOKS) to games on the lawn, to quiet evening chats, and music to dance to..roosters and chickens who visited, and a perfect location for all activities (we scoured the Park and shopped and ate in town!) Mom said it best- it’s a page from your favorite sweet summer novel. Our host was delightful, a true kind soul. We will carry the memories- some of us might not be able to make the trip again, but we have these special memories and moments to cherish! Thank you!

Our family of 15 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cider House. The location was perfect. We experienced an unusual heat wave but, with windows opened and an abundance of fans we survived. The property was great for the kids to play outside or inside. Lots of room to spread out. Overall our stay was great.

We had a group of 14 and loved the charming cider house! There was plenty of space for everyone to hang out and the beds were nice and comfortable. We made many meals in the kitchen and enjoyed all of the dining space. Very close to Acadia and Bar Harbor! We made many lasting memories and appreciate Trish’s communication. Highly recommend!

We had a large group visiting Acadia NP and Bar Harbor and this house was perfect for us.

This property was exactly as described and accommodated our family perfectly! It was clean and well kept up. The first floor was such that we could all gather in the tv room or the dining room or as interests allowed move to a smaller library. Altho we didn’t use the patio much (we were there in late October) it was roomy enough to picnic outside if conditions allowed. The property well situated on the island so that we could all pursue individual or small group activities. Both the main entrance to Acadia and Bar Harbor center is a short drive away.. I would go back!!

We really enjoyed staying in this rental! It had lots of quirky charm, was clean, and had nice little extras. We had an issue with bees getting in through windows and the hot water going out. The owner was quick and helpful in responding. There is plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and spread out. This was a great place for a large group. Note that only one bedroom is on the first floor in case you have individuals with mobility issues in your group.

This property was perfect for our multi-generational family reunion. We wanted something that felt like a home, and we found it. The home is comfortable and spacious and the location is perfect for exploring Acadia, Bar Harbor, and other lovely towns. Host Patricia is an absolute gem!

Our stay was wonderful, and the house was spacious and charming. I would definitely stay in this house again and recommend this to others!

Large farm house right up the street from The Chart Room had all the space, amenities, and location you need for a perfect vacation to Bar Harbor/Acadia. Also very much appreciated the abundance of fans for each room. Owner is a sweetheart!

Nice, large, old home on a quiet dead-end lane. Close to Acadia's Hulls Cove entrance and not far from downtown Bar Harbor. The owner is very kind and responsive to any needs. We enjoyed stargazing on the deck and hanging out in the large open kitchen. All in all, a great stay.
