Great location, we were able to walk to lots of restaurants and such in Bar Harbor. That was critical. The house was well equipped for our party of 10. We needed all the beds. Having parking space was critical too, as the area is very busy. It was an easy jumping off point for Acadia and other activities

The house is in an excellent location, you can walk into town for eating and shopping. We had a large group and loved the 6 bedrooms / 6 bathrooms! There’s not central A/C so the bathrooms got muggy but it was not anything terrible. All bedrooms had an A/C/ heater in them.

Bar Harbor classic

House is centrally located to downtown Bar Harbor. Easy walk to the grocery store and a few blocks from the bar island sand bar. 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms were perfect for our group. One bedroom on the first floor for a person who had problems with stairs was especially nice. Kitchen had a nice supply of Keurig pods which was unexpected. All bedrooms had individual temperature controls. Would definitely stay here again. Not modern layout of rooms if that's what you're looking for. Living room, parlor, dining room kitchen. Small deck with a grill and big table to eat outside if desired.

The good and the bad

The house was in an absolutely perfect location and loved that each room had its own bathroom. There was plenty of space for our large group to spread out. However, the home needs quite a bit of maintenance. It was extremely humid. The pictures on the walls are bowed and bent from being wet. Towels never dry and the beds just feel wet all the time. The kitchen was poorly equipped so we had to buy quite a few kitchen basics to cook with. Some interior doors were very difficult to open and the door knobs are coming off on a couple as well. A few of the bathrooms need to be completely gutted.

Great spot for a large group

We had a total of nine people (which includes a 10 month baby). The House was charming on a quiet street locally within easy walking distance of downtown Bar Harbor, grocery store etc. We spent six nights. Best part of house other than location was open living spaces, porch etc. The kitchen is was fine, but nothing special. Bathrooms (at least three of the six) need serious upgrade. The side entrance is a bit awkward with the step up and step down that does not have a hand rail or adequate lightning, but is manageable once you are familiar with it. There was also a not of instruction on the heating units and they did not work in every room. The jets in the tub in one of the rooms also did not work. This was our first time in Acadia. I am sure we will be back. While I would certainly consider staying here again, now that I am familiar with the town, I would also look to see other large group options and available.

Great Location nice place

This was a typical older home in downtown. It has a full bathroom for every room, which was a nice bonus. Great location, full grocery store a block away, in fact the entire town is within walking distance. The kitchen is small, but fully equipped and no problem when we cooked for entire family. There is a back patio with a bbq grill and table that seats 6 or you could squeeze in 8, this is not currently pictured. There is room for 4 cars in the driveway, which is another good bonus. We could have used a few fans as a couple of the nights it got hot and there is no air conditioning. It was reasonably clean, however the deck needed a good scrub and there were a few things that could of been a bit cleaner, however it was no problem at all. I would stay there again.

Entry to the house. Is on the side and not safe in my opinion. Outside lighting is poor and stone steps are not secure. Entry is by basement and is spooky looking. Entry to home should be through front door. Got locked out once as keyless entry would not work. Called owner and there is a lever on the inside of the door that must be horizontal to activate. Had to climb up outside stairs (supported by 2×4's) to gain access. The owner was very Good about answering and ensuring that we got in.. Old decor inside needs updating. A few pictures had mold growing behind the glass. Mold in some of the bathrooms too. Refrigerator did not dispense water from the door, only ice. While we were aware that the house was older, we were disappointed in the condition.

Great space for a terrific extended family excursion.

Great location and space for 9 adults and 3 small children. The kitchen needs to be better equipped for those who cook. Two burners on the stove top turned off while cooking. One twice. The bathrooms need to be updated. There was a leak thru the kitchen ceiling from one of the baths. But.... we had a great time and enjoyed our time in Bar Harbor.

Great location

We were a group of 12 traveling to experience the wonders of Acadia NP and to get away for a week. The location of the house cannot be beat. You can walk easily into town, walk to catch the shuttle into the Park and walk to the waterfront. Those renting this property need to understand that this is an old house and does have some quirks. Expect that the wood floors will creek, and the plumbing will be slow but it was a great place for our group. The dishwasher did not adequately wash the dishes so we just hand washed them. All in all we had a great time and enjoyed our stay.

Convenient location to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park

We had a great time visiting Acadia. The house had plenty of room for all of us with enough seating, comfortable beds, and plenty of towels. However, the next day we noticed water dripping from the ceiling of the kitchen, when one of us was showering. We called the Property Manager, who said she would send in a Plumber. On further inspection, that area looked like a previous leak was patched up. After calling the leak in, we all (except for my husband) stepped out to visit Acadia. The Property Manager called me back only to yell and blame us for the leak. She said that we were not pulling the shower curtain closed when showering to prevent the water from splashing out of the tub. She also threatened us that she would charge us for the Plumber’s visit. My husband who had stayed back had a chat with Plumber. The Plumber informed him that the shower curtain was not water proof, so the water was going through the curtain onto the bathroom floor. Obviously, the water was leaking through the floor tiles onto the kitchen ceiling which was below. I took pictures of the ceiling, in case there was any backlash from the renter. The kitchen in this house is not fully equipped. It does have a functioning stove, microwave and refrigerator, but lacks sufficient cooking utensils, serving dishes/bowls, cutlery and plates. We had to buy some disposable dishes to serve food and paper plates and disposable cutlery. A fun stay marred by the leaking ceiling and a rude Manager!

Great location

This is a comfortable, roomy, slightly worn house in a fabulous location right in town. Some of the bathrooms are in need of updating. We had a toilet stop working while we were there. The property manager was fairly helpful and responsive but it still resulted in having to spend time on 2 consecutive days waiting for a handyman to arrive. Not something you want to spend your vacation doing.
