All the charm of yesteryear with the comfort of the 21st century! Experience the age of the Rusticators - the wealthy settlers of the early 1900's in this 1904 Victorian rumored to be built by J.P. Morgan for his mistress (he kept several, leading to the nickname for the street as Mistress Row!) Owned by architects/interior designers for the past 25+ years, the house greets you with charm and style in every space. Grand columned entry porch/veranda with ample space to sit, sip and people watch, English garden, delightful outdoor dining area with gas grill. Well appointed spacious and charming rooms, old world (but updated!) kitchen with bells and whistles, sunny breakfast room, copper-sinked butler's pantry/bar with wine cooler, expansive foyer with decorative fireplace, comfortable and tranquil living room, dining room for 10 with additional cozy sitting area, family room/home theater with fold out English sofa, 3/4 first floor bathroom. Two different stairs lead to four bedrooms, including a newly redecorated master suite (king bed), another spacious bedroom with a king bed, one with a queen bed (newly decorated and upgraded), and one with two twins. There is an additional queen bed suite (with full bath) on the third floor as well as a generous laundry room. Coveted village location - quiet and enjoyable, but a stone's throw to all the activities you can imagine. You can walk everywhere!

All check-ins are self-check-ins. The home is spacious and the yard is completely private, with several private entrances. The location is quiet, walkable to all of downtown and the shore, and it easy to get to the Park and to other areas of interest.

    An amazing home in an amazing location. It was walkable to everything, including the free shuttle to Acadia National Park.

    Once we entered the property we were all blown away at how beautiful and spacious it was. Our host left us a bottle of Cava and small welcome gift, very thoughtful. Everything was clean and in order. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook and entertain our family. I was pleasantly surprised at the proximity to Acadia NP and walking distance to the town shops and eateries. We will cherish the memories we had there.

    The location was perfect! We walked to dinner every night. The house is gorgeous and quirky with vintage details. Great size for 3 couples. The hosts were very easy to communicate with! 12/10!

    Lovely home in the heart of Bar Harbor. Spacious, warm and welcoming - perfect for our family getaway. We loved how walkable the location was, close to everything yet peaceful. The front porch was a favorite spot to relax. The owners were most accommodating and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend.

    What a wonderful time we had staying here. Communication was easy breezy and David from housekeeping was great to work with. We had our grown children and 1 baby and close friends. Home was spacious and the floor plan was well laid out. The location was so central to everything which made walking with the baby carriage seamless. Thankful for Kay for opening her lovely home for all of us. Cheers

    House was ready and clean when we checked in right after 5pm check-in time. There were plenty clean sheets, blankets and pillows for 11 of my family. There were many glasses, coffee cups, dishes, pots and pans. The house located at walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants and waterfront pier.

    My family traveled to bar harbor for a Thanksgiving getaway. The location was ideal and within walking distance to everything downtown bar harbor. Kay was a wonderful host and responsive during our visit. The house was beautiful and spacious for our group of 9. She left us a lovely gift basket with lots of goodies we enjoyed. I would highly recommend this property.

    This big house had plenty of room for 9 adults. The house was very clean and the beds were nice. We were in walking distance to many things & the neighborhood was safe and quiet. Our hosts were very responsive prior to and during our stay.

    We loved our stay at this large, historic home. The house was beautiful and clean and perfect for 4 adult friends. The location is amazing - walkable to the village. The front porch was a great spot for morning coffee or afternoon relaxation. The owner was easy to communicate with and there whenever I needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Bar Harbor and at this spectacular home.

    Very well stocked. As an older house had to look for the light switches but figured it out. Lovely back family room with a piano. Very comfortable beds. Excellent location in town. Close to everything

    House was in a great spot and host was excellent with responsiveness and providing helpful information. The house has everything you need. It’s an old house so bathrooms and some aspects reflect that.

    The house might be my wife’s dream house: lots of character but nicely updated. It was a hot week and the AC was strong. The grill was clean and ready to go. There were tons of games and puzzles for downtime. And the location is exceptional. Just a block to all the action, but still on a quiet street. It was perfect for our mini family reunion.

    Staying at Kay's place was truly magical. The house was spotless and extremely spacious. My spouse, kids, and grandkids all found places to have time to themselves and time to gather together. The living room was perfect for playing games in the evening and just sitting around and talking. The location of this house couldn't have been more perfect: steps from the grocery store and the Village Green and bustling downtown. We all wished we could have stayed longer and would love to come back here when we come back to Bar Harbor!

    Wonderful, welcoming and well-stocked home. Our family of 9 adults loved it. Great spot to easily walk to anywhere in Bar Harbor - which we did for 4 days in a row. Good communication with the owner made it easy. Two car parking limit was a bit of a pinch but we found a creative way to park a third car off site. Highly recommended to any large group
