Thanksgiving Stay

We stayed over Thanksgiving while visiting family on the island. The location is fantastic - easy walk to the entire town. Our two high school boys took the upstairs so plenty of room to spread out. Parking was helpful even in the off-season. We were even able to get in some hikes in the park!

Great location and comfortable stay

We enjoyed our stay in Bar Harbor and the fact that the house was so central. Generally well equipped. Bedrooms would benefit from blackout blinds or curtains and the curtain poles were flimsy.

Great location!

The rental had everything we might need and was a short walk away from all things Bar Harbor. Check in was easy, and the property was comfortable. Could use a bit of TLC and refresh in areas (bathrooms, windows) and they have a bit of an insect problem, but we didn't pay much attention. Would stay here again.

Great property in AMAZING locatino

This was a fantastic property in an amazing location in downtown Bar Harbor. You couldn't really ask for a better location. The host was hospitable and a fantastic communicator. My family of of four had an amazing time and it was great having this property as a base! Oh, it is also about 2-3 blocks from the Island Bar Trail, which was pretty great!

nice little getaway

Home was clean and in a great location to walk all of Bar Harbor shops and restaurants. Also nice being able to walk to the Explorer bus stops to access Acadia park trails and sights without parking issues if you come during busy season (bus only runs certain months, did not use this visit but have on previous visits and LOVED the easy access)

Superb Location

You can’t beat the location on a quiet nook off Cottage Street - one of the two main shopping and dining streets - in Bar Harbor. You are just feet from a great coffee shop/bakery, and all the shops and restaurants. And the grocery store is a 2 min walk. The house itself is very basic, but the pictures reflect it accurately. The house comes with one parking spot and all other parking in the area is metered. It’s easy to come by if you have a second car, but you will pay to park. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great stay!

We had a wonderful stay. We were three women so we all had our own room which was nice. I can’t think of anything that was missing. Kitchen and bathrooms and laundry were all stocked with everything we needed. The location was close to everything. Could even walk to the grocery store. I highly recommend and hope to have an opportunity to stay here again!

Ideal location and very nice place to stay!

This place was just off the main street and very quite. Everything was easy to walk to. The condo was the perfect size for 4 to 6 people and was a great place for use to relax after our busy days. Our contact for the condo was so helpful with a very minor TV issue and solved it immediately. We would love to stay there again.

Labor day weekend vacation

We love the location and walkability to everything in downtown. Nice spacious family home with board games, furnished kitchen and communicative accomodating manager. Definitely worth the price. One suggestion - Addition of a shower gel dispenser in baths would make it super helpful.
