This was a great house, with a very responsive owner, for our women friends trip to Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. It was conveniently located to everything in the town of Bar Harbor. 4 nights is not enough; stay longer if you can; so much to see and do.

Loved it

This house was perfect for our family of 5. Lots of space and very well stocked. Location was perfect. Large grocery store practically across the street and an adorable and tasty pub across the driveway. Quick nice walk to shops and restaurants and close to the park entrance. Owner was AMAZING at communicating which was a super nice bonus. I would absolutely stay here again.

Not for older adults

The property needs maintenance and TLC. Cobwebs on the stairwell and corners, filthy carpeting. Stairwell is very rickety and unstable for older adults. Could not reach the host for 2 days when they inadvertently reset the door code, and we had to leave property unsecured. The layout is a maze.Good locationComfy bedsNice sauna

Great property-heart of bar harbor!

Outstanding well equipped home walking distance to everything in bar harbor, but just far enough away! Property is settled into a quiet street minutes away from shopping, shore path, and bar island sand bridge. Awesome roof deck, sleeping areas and tons of space in the living areas. Quick drive to ANP loop road and everything the park has to offer. Property manager was excited to let us know about many of the great hikes and activities in the park and bar harbor, including awesome restaurant 15 feet away from the front door….the black friar. Best meal we had all week! Vrbo only has a five star rating, but we give this location and th open communication with property owner 12 stars. Thanks for an awesome visit!

Bliss in Bar Harbor

This cottage was an ideal place to stay. Check in process was seamless. Location could not be better- easy walk to Bar Harbor and Bar Island. Quick entrance to Acadia. Kitchen was great- Kim left paper towels, napkins and other items available to us. Rooms were nice and happy to have 2 bathrooms. Window AC worked well for us. Thanks Kim, for a great vacation!

First time in Bar Harbor

This was our first visit to Bar harbor and Acadia National Park. The house was perfect for our family. It was so convenient and we could walk everywhere. It was so clean and very well stocked. We had everything we needed and then some. The host was so accommodating because we had to come a day late due to a hurricane in Florida. We will definitely be back.

Location! Location! Location!

This was the perfect place to stay for our week in Bar Harbor and Acadia. There is a grocery store right across the street. The Sand Bar/Bar Island is just 2 blocks away and is a must see for tide pooling and hiking. There is a great restaurant literally less than 5 steps away for breakfast, lunch or dinner.It was really good! Kim was very helpful throughout the stay. The house is stocked with everything you need. We have stayed in rentals when this hasn’t always been the case.You are sure to enjoy your trip when staying here!

Bar Harbor and Acadia adventure

Great property for a visit to Acadia NP and Bar Harbor. There were 6 adults and we all loved the location of this house. You can’t get a better location. A grocery store that you can walk to…a restaurant across the street. Shopping and many restaurants just a short walk away. The house is super comfortable and is stocked so well with everything you need. We all agreed that we would go back. Communication with the owner was great.

Nice Little Cottage

Den in back of the house was very nice - bright with skylights and quiet. We spent most of our indoor time there. Location is great, in that it’s just off Cottage and 1/2 block from grocery store. However, new construction on the street feels overwhelming, which is too bad for all the properties on this short street. The rest of the house is pretty small. King and queens barely fit in the bedrooms. Further, wood stairs are a bit steep and are very squeaky and loud. The baths and kitchen were fine, but really need an update…look like they haven’t been touched since 1970s. Communications with owner were pretty good, but written info in house was often contradictory.

Family Vacation success!

Aysgarth Cottage was perfect for our family vacation to Acadia. The house is super close to the park and walking distance to the grocery store for hiking snacks and restaurants for breakfast/dinner. The house was very clean and comfortable for our family of 6 adults. Kim was very responsive and left clear instructions. Our only complaint is washing/drying the linens before the 10am check out time is very tight. Even making sure towels were done the night before, waking up, packing, broom cleaning, and taking out the trash, left us down to the wire trying to switch the second load of sheets to the dryer to get out in time. Considering the cleaning fee, it'd be easier to get out at 10am just stripping the sheets. Overall happy with the stay!
