Kitchen was well stocked and the openness to the community spaces, living room a dining was great. We liked how the bedrooms and adjacent bathrooms were on either side of the living room, for privacy. There were comfortable spaces to sit in bedrooms and living room.The seclusion of the house, the wooded lot contributed to the quiet.The owner/host of the house was available when we needed her.

Spacious and Close to Both Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor

We enjoyed our stay at this Seal Harbor rental. The kitchen had everything we needed. The open floor plan was spacious with a large dining table and plenty of couch seating. We loved that we could get to our favorite hikes in any direction in 20 or so minutes. In the evening we had great stargazing right on the property.

So close yet feels so far away

What a home! Comfortable and cozy and super clean, with everything you need. It’s away from the hubbub of Bar Harbor but only takes 10 minutes to get there or NE area. Wonderful hikes are also so close, and can walk down to seal harbor beach or the cute little block of town.

Great quiet location

If you want to be close to everything but avoid the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, stay here. We were 15 minutes from Bar Harbor and 5 minutes from entrance to Acadia. The backyard is a quiet little oasis. The House is a little older, but no issues. It was clean and well kept. Highly recommend!
