Sandwiched between town and Acadia NP, a bright and spacious house in the woods

Welcome to Woods and Waters, a spacious and bright 4-bedroom home abutting Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, ME. We are Spruce Properties Bar Harbor, also available at our website online, sprucepropertiesbarharbor.wordpress.com.

Walk up stairs and enter a lovely, welcoming entryway with plenty of space for shoes and bags. The house flows into a comfortable, open living and dining area with a cathedral ceiling and skylights that fill the space with warm natural light. The kitchen is fully stocked with quality knives, non-stick pans, and tupperware, and is easy to cook in while partaking in conversation in the living room/dining room. We have plenty of books and games to enjoy on the cozy couches, a breakfast nook that looks out into the woods, and a small upper deck for coffee or stargazing.

The first floor holds the living area, kitchen, half bathroom and 2 bedrooms, one with 2 twin beds and one with 1 twin bed. On the second floor are 2 bedrooms with queen beds, the laundry, washer/dryer, and a full bathroom. The master bedroom in particular is spacious and bright - enjoy birds-eye views of Champlain Mtn or star gazing through the sky lights.

Woods and Waters is located 3 miles from downtown Bar Harbor on one of the most scenic stretches of Route 3 passing between Champlain and Dorr mountains. The house has a private location set back from the main road and nestled against Cadillac Mtn, giving the feeling of living in the trees but close enough for quick trips to town or to the beach. It is <1 mile from the four most iconic and scenic hiking trails in Acadia. To access Otter Cliffs, Seal Harbor beach, or Compass Harbor, drive a short 3 min in either direction. There is a hidden stream about 1/3 mile from the house with a small pool. It is unmarked, so to seek it the finder will need to be comfortable navigating the woods. A perfect place to explore all that Acadia has to offer!

Notes: This property is NOT handicapped-accessible. There is NO central A/C. We have fans in each room and three window a/c units in case of hot weather. There is parking for 2 cars next to the house. Bar Harbor rental registration #1825.

Great location for family
Nice location. Private, but also close to Bar Harbor and Acadia if you have your own vehicle. Comfortable for our family with college age kids.

Nice Home in Excellent spot
The location of this home was great, surrounded by green woods, right by the beautiful Otter Creek. The house was spacious and very pretty with beautiful wooden ceilings. They had a collection of books, toys, and games that my kids happily dig into. Owner very responsive to some general inquiries I had. I recommend this property and would rent it again if we are lucky enough to come back.

Woods and Waters - Great Place to Stay!
Woods and Waters provided a convenient and comfortable place to stay while we explored Acadia. There was plenty of space for five people and the host was polite and accommodating. The washer and dryer was a huge bonus for us. Thank you for providing this wonderful place for our family’s vacation!

Nice House
Comfortable house in a perfect location close to but outside of town. Clean and spacious, it served us well for our family vacation. Our little one especially appreciated the toys left at the house. Although the trail was not well marked, we found the water and rocks, which were amazing.The house was so nice, I wish we could have stayed longer.

Great Home and Location
The home is beautiful, in a wooded area with lots of room for our family. It is conveniently located close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Some of our family camped at Blackwoods Campground which was just a 5 minute drive away. I would highly recommend staying here. The owners were quick to answer any questions and even had some suggestions for things to to in Bar Harbor.

Great location
Home was just as listed! Everything you need to be close to Bar Harbor but also close to the national park. House was clean and spacious, owners even dropped off extra toys for my little ones. Beds were very comfortable and house is equipped with everything you need to get your vacation started. Would stay again.
