Your Home Away from Home in Beautiful Bar Harbor, Maine

We were one block over from the shops and restaurants. Location was perfect. We never worried about parking and it wasn’t noisy with the location being close to every thing. Acadia park was close for touring.

The home was ideally located in Bar Harbor within walking distance of all shops and restaurants and the harbor. Few minute drive to the Acadia Park entranceWould definitely book again

This is our second stay at this location. The location within town is unbeatable and everything was as described. The property was clean and nothing was broken, but the kitchen and bathrooms are a bit dated. This did not matter to us but may to some. We had cool weather so it was irrelevant but two of the four bedrooms did not have air conditioning during our stay. This may have been an issue if the weather was warmer at night. The neighborhood is both right in the middle of town with everything in easy walking distance and extremely quiet/peaceful at night. We will likely be back.

This home was perfectly situated in downtown Bar Harbor. It was conveniently located to the fun downtown shops and restaurants but felt farther away, as it is down a quieter side street. The home has an older vibe to it, but I personally liked that charm. We did have an issue with the upstairs bathroom shower not functioning, but the management team/home owner were very responsive and did the best they could to try resolving the issue. I found them to be very responsive and helpful and would enjoy stating here again.

The location is the reason why I chose this property. I originally booked a location on Ledgelawn, but I wanted to be closer to the shoreline. Dorrie’s house is just down the street from all the restaurants and shops. I loved being so close to the shoreline.

Home is a bit tired, but if you are ok with that the location can’t be beat! Within walking distance of everything in Bar Harbor!

Great location in downtown Bar Harbor. Highly recommended.

I had a wonderful time in Bar Harbor last week with my 3 sisters. This property has 4 bedrooms so we each had our own room! The location could not be better, in the heart of Bar Harbor where you can walk to a bike rental for the Park, to local restaurants, and it's just a short car ride to the Park entrance for a sunset view on Cadillac Mountain. The property also allows pets. Although we didn't bring one, I was amazed to learn that Acadia is one of the few National Parks that allow dogs on hiking trails, so this place is perfect for someone who wants to hike the Park with their dog:) The downstairs area is very comfortable, with a large oval table for eating and playing games, and a bathroom with a shower. The upstairs was really my only issue. I had read that the beds weren't great and this was certainly true. The bathroom is quite small and it was missing a towel rack or hooks to hang any towels. Updating the mattresses and bathroom would go a long way to making this a 5-star experience.

The house was perfect for our family. The location was ideal for our family and dog, the house was clean, and we truly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend!

It was perfect!

Overall can't beat the location, it was perfect to walk to downtown within minutes and the driveway did fit 2 SUVs (which would have been a nightmare to park on the street and also impossible because of the permits required). The 4 stars instead of 5 is because the some of the upstairs bedroom doors and bathroom door didn't shut, and the smallest bedroom didn't have an window air conditioning unit (which were in all of the other bedrooms) and there was no fan to use in the room which made it difficult for our 13 year old niece on the nights that it rained because we needed to close the windows which then made it very stuffy. If you're able to leave the windows open, it probably would be fine. There was also really no way to use the backyard (no tables or chairs), so you can only sit inside or 4 people on the breezeway. The house itself was fine, clean and had the standard amenities (though no measuring cups so bring your own).

Our family of four had a wonderful time in Bar Harbor. Bike and kayak rentals are a block away, and we could walk to all restaurants, bars, and other locations in downtown Bar Harbor.

Location, location, location! House is older but clean and Dorrie is over generous with supplying plenty of towels, toilet paper, detergents and other supplies. The location is unbeatable. Everything in Bar Harbor is within a few minutes walk. Acadia is a very short drive. We had a wonderful vacation and Dorrie’s house helped make it perfect.

Our group of 5 adults enjoyed our stay here! This home is the perfect location to walk to everything in Bar Harbor and a very short drive to Acadia National Park. The fenced in back yard was a plus for the pup!
