You Can't Get Closer to the Water than This!

Bar Harbor View Cottage is the perfect place for your next trip to Maine. You will be delighted when you first see the stunning panoramic views of Acadia National Park and its mountains from our deck. Make sure you get up in time for sunrise as you'll be able to see it come up over Cadillac Mountain.

You'll be able to spot wildlife without even leaving your chair. You may see eagles, seals, dolphins, deer and moose. You can even take our kayaks across the bay to see seals up close and personal. The water near the cottage is teeming with mussels too.

Kids (of all ages) love the abundance of flat rocks along the shoreline that are perfect for skipping and the custom-built ping-pong table in the garage.

The cottage features four bedrooms which sleep nine, WiFi access, panoramic views, a well-stocked kitchen, a garage, ample parking, a ping-pong table, several kayaks, a gas grill and a gorgeous deck perfect for relaxing.

The main floor has the master king suite with adjoining bathroom, a second bedroom with a queen bed, kitchen, living room, dining area, den, laundry room and second bathroom. There is also an attached garage. The second floor offers two bedrooms. One has two twin beds and the other features a queen bed plus a twin bed.

We are about 16 miles from downtown Bar Harbor.

We had a wonderful stay at Bar Harbor View Cottage. The property truly lives up to its name, the views were absolutely stunning and made our trip even more memorable.The cottage itself was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. It felt welcoming right away and made it easy to settle in and relax.One of the biggest highlights was the location. It’s incredibly convenient to Acadia National Park, which made exploring the area simple and stress-free.Overall, this was a fantastic rental experience. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Bar Harbor area.

This was absolutely perfect for our family. The location was wonderful for everything we planned to do. The house was furnished with anything we had need for. The deck is perfect for relaxing by the ocean. The shoreline was fun to explore. Actually, we would rate it a 10. One of the best houses we have rented!

Great place for us. We wanted a week of nothing to charge batteries before holidays. It was cold and snowed but we had a roaring fire every night. This house is supplied better than any VRBO I have ever used. They had everything you could think of. Beautiful waterfront views of sunrise, sunset and moon. Could see Cadillac mountain right out the bedroom window.

Great location and Beautiful home

We enjoyed our stay very much , the location was perfect , close enough to Acadia and all the park has to offer and far enough away from the hustle of down town Bar Harbor. We enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the water and relaxing after a long day of hiking. I would highly recommend the property !!
