Great location -- walkable to almost everything in and around BH, but on a quiet side street. Enjoyed the house both as a base for excursions and to just sit and lounge when our itinerary slowed. Would definitely stay here again.

The house was very clean. We check in on Thursday. Friday morning while cooking breakfast we noticed a small leak in the ceiling. I texted Steven and he was there with a plumber shortly after. We were down a shower for the weekend. He was very sorry for that happening, but it was beyond his control. And we made it work. We would definitely stay there again!!!

This house was so excellent. Great location in a beautiful town. Steps from anything we wanted to do. The house was immaculate. The very best most unique thing was that it was the best stocked house I’ve ever been in. Need salsa? Got it. Mosquito spray? There it is. Any dishes we needed were there. Toiletries, games, books. It was just fantastic. Highly highly recommend! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!!

Lovely Week in Bar Harbor

We had a fantastic stay at this home. Great location that is quiet and just steps from town. Beautiful space that fit a number of adults well. Parking for more than 2 cars is difficult, but everything was basically perfect.
