We had a fantastic stay in Bar Harbor. The property was fantastic and beautifully clean. In fact the property is even better than the photos suggest. We were a group of 6, which included older children and teenagers. We would strongly recommend this property. It’s close proximity to the centre of Bar Harbor is also a plus. We would definitely stay again.

We rented this home for our family vacation - ages 2 1/2 to 60 and found it very comfortable, quiet, and spacious for everyone. The kitchen is well stocked and we really appreciated having the washer and dryer available. We walked to downtown bar harbor one day, it was nice not having to find parking! The stairs are a little steep and narrow, but there is a handrail. Lovely place to stay and convenient to Acadia National Park and the downtown Bar Harbor area! We would definitely recommend!
