Charming in town cape. Only footsteps to Glen Mary Pool, local trails and shopping; while just far enough away to enjoy tranquility in the evenings. Comfortably sleeps eight with three queens and one set of bunkbeds. Large fenched in back yard. Local family owned. The perfect home for a blissful Bar Harbor experience!

We had 3 generations of women celebrating Mom's 90th birthday. The house was close (1/2 mile) to downtown Bar Harbor so we walked instead of having to pay for parking. Even though there were 6 of us, we never felt crowded. Everyone had space to do whatever they wanted to do. In the evenings we sat at the table and played cards or worked a puzzle. It was wonderful having such a nice space to spend time together.
6 hs girlfriends had a most enjoyable stay in Bar Harbor. Location, location, location! We had an easy walk into town with no worries about parking. The drive to Acadia was less than 10 to 15 minutes. The neighborhood was quiet. The property was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We utilized the big kitchen table to play games and enjoyed the deck outback. It was nice to have a washer and dryer available and we took advantage of it. We had one minor issue (could not find the silverware as it was in what-we-thought was a faux drawer) that was handled immediately to our satisfaction. Highly recommend- would stay again.
Clean, comfortable beds, great location, kitchen stocked with all the basics, and easy check in process. Even nicer than the pictures. Couldn’t ask for more. We will be looking to stay here again the next time we visit!
Our family had a wonderful stay in this cozy house! The location is on a quiet street that is walkable to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia is just a short drive away. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Would definitively stay here again!
The location of the house to bar harbor was fantastic.
As mentioned in other reviews there was a musty smell when got there, but it quickly disappeared when we opened the windows. The musty smell comes from the fact that there is no air conditioning to get rid of the humidity and because of the basement has no dehumidifiers. Put a couple of those in the basement and I think the smell would be minimal.
Also the back yard is not usable. The weeds are kind of out of control out there.
Still you can’t beat the location.
Close,within walking distance of all the downtime, but far enough away from the bustle to have some quiet space. No air conditioning but lots of open windows and nights were cool.
Our book club group of 7 stayed at this cottage for a 5 day stay. We really enjoyed Bar Harbor and the cottage was within walking distance to lots of shopping and restaurants. It is also very close to the Cadillac Mountain entrance of Acadia. The house had all we needed and we especially appreciated the washer and dryer. I wish I’d noticed that they don’t have AC but they do provide a bunch of fans.
We had a wonderful stay. The cottage had everything we needed. It was a great location and within walking distance to Bar Harbor. We brought some fur family with us so loved having a fenced in back yard.
This place was absolutely perfect for a meet up with friends and family. Super close to Acadia and downtown. Well stocked with cooking utensils and a grill. Very comfortable and plenty of space. Would absolutely stay here again!

Very Dated Musty House
When you first walk in you notice a strong musty smell. The kitchen is nicely updated but the carpets and blankets, pillows, sheets smell very strongly. No air conditioning is fine since they provide fans. No toilet paper, or basic supplies in the kitchen like spices, butter, or sugar for coffee.
Property manager was responsive when we thought there was an issue with the water but it was clear he didn't even know which property in Bar Harbor I was talking about. There's no communication and they charged me a pet fee even though I didn't bring any pets.
This house was perfect for our family to explore Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We walked to everything in town and it was so convenient. We took advantage of all the dining spots and shopping. We explored the Park which was amazing.
We loved our time at this cottage. The description is accurate, house very clean, kitchen well stocked. Very comfortable for 7 adults. We cooked a few lovely dinners at the cottage and the grill is new. Outdoor deck and backyard are lovely. The neighborhood is quiet and just a 3-5 minute walk to downtown. I would definitely stay here again with a group. Thank you -
The property was exactly as described and perfect for my husband & I, two adult children and dog. The fenced yard worked very well for our dog, but we didn’t spend too much time there. The location was a short walk to the Main Street and a quick drive to Acadia, so we made the most of the beautiful area.
Thank you for a very comfortable and clean property!
Wonderful Bar Harbor vacation for an active family of young adults and older parents. The house's location and ease made biking, hiking, boating, swimming, dining, and touring easily accessible.

Why they chose this property
Location. This property boast a great in-town spot. While just minutes walk from trails and local shopping and dining, you are are also just far enough from the hustle and bustle that you can sit on the back deck at night and listen to the crickets.
