Walk to Acadia! Maine nFarmhouse 2025: 3 night min May-Labor Day

Mt Desert, Maine, United States

Smack dab between Northeast Harbor (5 min) and Bar Harbor (10 min) this fully renovated Maine home has all the comforts of a new home with all the charm of a historic maine farmhouse. Giant tub and rain shower downstairs, spa shower with dual water heads upstairs, fully stocked chef's kitchen, granite fireplace are among the features to make your stay comfortable. brbrThe home is conveniently located on Sound drive on a 1.5 wooded acre lot with a beautiful flower garden, mature lilac bushes and crabapple trees. A short walk along Sound Drive to the entrance of the Giant Slide Trail brings you directly into Acadia National Park for hiking and a five minute ride in either direction brings you to Eagle Lake or Upper Hadlock for biking. Acadia at your fingertips (and hiking boots)! brbrAfter a day of hiking and popovers at the Jordan Pond House, put your lobsters on to boil while the family gathers around the square dining table (seats 8, dishes, silver and linens for 12-16) then its over to the fireplace for drinks, snacks and games or choose a movie from the huge dvd selection... A perfect end to a perfect day in Acadia...brbrThree second floor bedrooms with 1 King, 1 queen size bed and 1 full size bed and gorgeous linens sleep two each and share a full bathroom. The 3rd floor bedroom has its own half bath and has four twin beds. *Please note: in 1910, hallways were not a thing. The master bedroom is completely separate, but the 2 back bedrooms and the third floor bedrooms are connected by doorways and you have to walk though rooms to get the other rooms. An additional full bath with separate bathing area and claw foot tub with rain shower is located on the first floor. brbrA truly comfortable and serene home, well behaved pets will be considered.brbr*Other notes: a max of 2 parking spaces are providedbr*I price the nightly stay below the average because I understand that you can hear road noise. The town repaved our little two lane road that was once a horse path and now it is too tempting to fly by on it. I have been lobbying to get the speed limit reduced but in the meantime, I have put in noise reducing curtains in the front rooms.brbrKeywords: charming, tranquil, renovated, pets considered, Acadia, Bar Harbor,northeast harbor, farmhouse

Have lunch in the garden at a teak table set over looking the water, swim off the dock at high tide, kayak the harbor or just snooze in a lawn chair. Bikes and kayaks can be rented locally, and Somes Pond is minutes away and much warmer to swim in than the ocean.brbrHeron Pool sleeps 10 comfortably and is truly a family home. It is ideal for kids with a wooden swing set, fields and shoreline to explore, all well set back from the road. brbrIf you ever leave the property you can enjoy all that Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, SW Harbor and NE Harbor have to offer.
