Well-Appointed Downtown BarHarbor /Walk to Everything/ Mins to Acadia


Renovated in July 2020. This is a 4 bedroom 2 bath. The first floor master's bedroom has en-suite bath (tub-shower combo). Prime location on a quiet dead-end street in downtown Bar Harbor. The home underwent a complete renovation in 2020. The location is perfect for walking to shops, dining and entertainment. Walkable to the town waterfront which is a hub for sightseeing, whale watching, kayak tours, etc. This is ideal for those wanting to enjoy the convenience of downtown Bar Harbor with very easy access to Acadia Natl Park.

This house has parking for 2 vehicles. It has an outdoor outlet close to the parking space.

This house is designed with comfort of our guests in mind.
There are many spaces to spread around the house.

There is a porch with two cozy swivel sofas for conversations/downtime in-between your adventures.

To the left of the house is a fenced outdoor patio with cushioned chairs providing seating for six. It has an oversized umbrella provided with solar lights providing nice ambience at night. There is an outdoor BBQ grill. The place is perfect for lounging anytime during the day or evenings.

The living room has power leather recliners (sofa, loveseat, & recliner)to enjoy the 70 inch smart tv. We offer complimentary Netflix and Disney + so you don’t miss out on your favorite shows & movies!

The dining area offers a dining table for 6 and 2 for breakfast counter dining.

The kitchen has a granite counter top, and is equipped to cook a full basic meal. We also provide a lobster pot and crackers.

The master bedroom has a 55 inch smart TV with its own master bath and washer and dryer. It has an armoire for your clothes.

The second floor has 3 private bedrooms and a separate full bath (walk-in shower and double vanity sinks).
Two of the bedrooms has queen mattresses each and one bedroom with two twin beds. All three bedrooms has built in closets. Children’s room has a walk in closet. One of the three bedrooms has an office chair & table suited for remote working.

Each bedroom has an A/C to provide comfortable temperature while you rest. There are ceiling fans to all second floor bedrooms and the living room. There’s also an AC in the dining room.

The house is four seasons. It is heated with baseboard water heater in the cold months of November to early April. The outdoor patio furniture's will not be available from November to April. The grill is however available during these cold months if requested.

Highlight of location:

This is in a prime location. You cannot get any closer to the Village of Bar Harbor as well as access to Acadia.

Picture yourself waking up early in the morning to drive up to Cadillac Mountain and be one of the first to see sunrise in America-then spend the rest of your day in Sand Beach, Jordan Pond, hike Ocean path etc.

At the end of the day- you go home- leave your car in the house and walk through town, have ice cream, have a nice afternoon or sunset stroll along the waterfront or shore path and enjoy dinner at one of the restaurants in the Village- or opt for take out and enjoy your meal while at Agamont Park and enjoy the amazing views of the Waterfront.

The Hulls Cove Visitor Center of Acadia National Park is only 2.5 miles or 6 mins drive from the house. Access to Eagle Lake through the carriage roads is a mere 2-3 minutes ride.

The property has parking for 2 vehicles, depending on the vehicle size. This is a huge convenience when parking is very limited during peak tourist months and since the town had instituted parking regulations/ restrictions and parking meters

Guests with service animals are encouraged to notify the host / owner because of animal hair allergy by one of the owners / host who is closely engaged with maintaining the property.

We take pride in the cleanliness of our property and adhere to an enhanced cleaning protocol.

Check In time is at 5:00 PM and Check Out time is at 10:00 AM.

Grill and outdoor patio furniture's are not available from November to April.

Very happy with everything, the location, the house, and our hosts. Our family was very comfortable and able to enjoy what was an excellent summer vacation taking in the beauty of Acadia National Park and the charm of Bar Harbor. Tons of memories.

First visit to Bar Harbor

Our stay was perfect. The house was lovely. It was equipped with everything we needed. It was clean and well-kept and the location was perfect. Everything was within walking distance. Robard was available to answer all of our questions quickly. Our family had a wonderful time and would love to stay here again if we get the opportunity.

Great home in Bar Harbor

The accommodations at Mercedes and Robard’s home exceeded our expectations! The home was extremely clean, well stocked, and filled with thoughtful details making for a very enjoyable stay. All the beds (even the twin beds in the kids room) were extremely comfortable. The home was walkable to town, but removed from the main streets, so was very quiet and private. It was also a quick drive into Acadia. The hosts were very responsive to questions before and during our stay and very thoughtful giving suggestions for events happening over July 4, which we appreciated! We wished the check in were a little earlier but would still love to have the opportunity to stay at this home again in the future!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house worked beautifully for our needs. We loved the central location. It was wonderful to be in walking distance of the harbor and town. The home was clean and a quiet location. The downstairs set up was especially conducive to spending time together. The recliners in the family room were appreciated after a day of trekking though Acadia. Thank you so much!

Family getaway

This property was perfect for our one week trip with our family. We brought our adult children with their spouses and our youngest who is twelve. The four bedrooms fit us perfectly. Having a kitchen for breakfast and the washer/dryer could not have been nicer especially with all the hiking we did. The location was great- quiet and a within walking distance to town.

This was a wonderful place and a perfect fit for our family trip to Bar Harbor. Twin bed room was perfect for our two youngest and decorated with little ones in mind. Location was amazing and within walking distance to most things in town. Working with Robard was great and he was very responsive to any questions or needs we had. Provided an amazing amount of information about the area which made our activity planning and stay much more efficient and smoother. Will definitely stay there again if travels take us back to Bar Harbor. A

We had a wonderful stay in Bar Harbor! This rental home was very beautiful and had everything you could want or need. It is within walking distance to the shops, coffee, the waterfront and the grocery store. If it wasn’t for a few rainy, cold days, we probably would have walked everywhere! Absolutely loved it here!

Bar Harbor home

My sister, her husband and son stayed in this beautiful property. Everything was perfect, except the weather. Their trip had to be delayed by one day. The house was clean and they had everything they needed. She mentioned that shoes were requested to be removed when in the house and that was fine but they really needed slippers and they had forgotten theirs. Other than that, their stay was perfect!

National park visit

The house suited us very well. Our group was older parents with adult children and their spouses. It really helps to have a place where everyone has their own bedroom and we have common areas to gather. We appreciated having a main floor master suite. We never cooked a meal in the kitchen, but it seemed well outfitted. We were able to walk to town for several excellent restaurants and morning coffee. Our dead end street was very quiet and a very short drive to the other side of town. We enjoyed the stacking washer and dryer and furnished detergents. The only issue we had was a non-functioning outlet in the bathroom (inconvenient for fixing hair) and an odd lack of available outlets in the master bedroom. We ended up having to find other outlets to charge our devices and to blow dry/curling iron my hair. The place was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Definitely would recommend this place to others!
