About this property

This charming, clean, and nonsmoking older home's interior was newly renovated in 2014. Located on a side street in a quiet neighborhood in downtown Bar Harbor with off-street parking for one vehicle. It has an open floor plan & hard wood floors throughout. All new appliances. There are 2 bedrooms - 1 with a queen, - 1 with a single twin bed and pull out trundle (max 100 lb), plus a queen sleeper sofa in living room. A port-a-crib is available.
The walls are hung with original paintings of Mount Desert Island, and Acadia National Park. Full laundry, wi-fi, cable tv, and a pleasant garden and yard completes the package. While the apartment sleeps 5, ideally this home is best suited for a family - 2 parents with young children, or 2 or 3 adults. The trundle bed is not to be used by anyone weighing more than 110 lbs.
We are situated in the southeastern end of town, and are a 2 blocks to The Village Green, and the Island Explorer bus hub (runs from Jun-Oct) , Mount Desert Island Hospital, The Abbe Museum, Jesup Memorial Library, St. Saviour's Church and its' Tiffany stained glass windows, Reel Pizza, and all the shops and restaurants. Town Pier, Agamont Park, Albert Meadow, the YMCA, Compass Harbor, the Jackson Lab, and the majestic views of the Porcupine Islands and the Historic Shore Path are all within a 5 min walk.
We are also within walking distance to the Village Connector trails into Acadia. Compass Harbor and the ruins of George Dorr's family home are just a few blocks south. The Schooner Head Path is accessed off the Compass Harbor Trail. The Great Meadow Loop is accessed off Cromwell Harbor Road, just north of the ball fields. It connects to Jesup Path, Dorr Mountain, Homans Path, The Great Meadow Trail, Kebo Connector Trails, and much more.
For winter visitors - Acadia National Park is a winter wonder-land! Hiking (crampons a must), XC Skiing on groomed trails in the park, snow-shoeing, skating, ice-fishing, & sledding are all in the mix. BUT PLEASE BE PREPARED FOR VERY RUGGED, ICY CONDITIONS IF HIKING ON ICE AND TO ANY ELEVATION!!! CRAMPONS AND ICE GEAR A MUST! Winter night skies are hypnotizing. We have the darkest skies east of the Mississippi. If you are interested in astronomy and star-gazing - ANP is your place! MDI & ANP are under appreciated in winter! Do yourself a favor and come to this magical frozen place!

Great place right in the town of Bar Harbor

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights from Fri 29th September. The instructions for how to find the house and get the key were easily followed. It was clean, tidy and comfortable. We loved the place. The kitchen is beautiful and well equipped. The laundry facilities were excellent. Susan was very quick to respond to any queries we had. The house is very convenient to the town - handy to be able to leave the car parked and take the bus from the village green into the national park for long walks. We were very fortunate with the weather 25 -30 degrees C, bright blue skies and sunshine, and we walked all over the town, enjoyed the shore path walk, all the usual touristy things. Our favourite part of Acadia was Sand beach: it was like a summer day when we were there but without the summer crowds. We can certainly recommend Susan''s house if you're looking for somewhere quiet yet convenient to the town centre.

Great place, great location

I stayed 3 nights in October. This property is very comfortably furnished and well-equipped for an extended stay. The place was spotless when I arrived and everything worked. The property manager was accessible and helpful. Despite it's close proximity to a busy downtown Bar Harbor, the house itself is on a very quiet side street. Highly recommended.

Fantastic location, cozy, clean house.

Half a block from the nearest restaurant, you are in town at this location. All the amenities you would want for a place to stay. My daughter described one couch as the most comfortable she’s ever sat in. A full kitchen to prepare any food you want although we are out.
