We had a lovely stay at this charming little spot. While the kitchen could use an update and the bathroom a little TLC, the place had a cozy feel. It’s on the smaller and darker side, but the charm and character really shine through. The location was absolutely unbeatable — close to everything we wanted to do. Having a dedicated parking space was a huge plus, especially since the area was quite crowded.

Nice in town spot

Location you couldn't beat, super convenient to walk, very clean and nicely furnished. Wpuld have given 5 stars but being that you could have 2 couples stay there is only included parking to accommodate 1 car The description states there is parking in lot directly across the street. The parking lot directly across is for a hotel and permit only. The next lot is public parking on a meter ar 40/day. Since ot did not mention that this was a pay parkthat was rhe only disappointment considering the additional cost, and during peak season if you move the car you may not get a spot there anyway. If you have 1 car you are fine. We had a great stay

The best trip to beautiful Bar Harbor!

Everything about our stay was wonderful! The property was clean and well appointed, quiet and perfect for our family of 4. Loved the location, right in the middle of Bar Harbor and the hosts are so lovely and kind! Met them in their shop downstairs and appreciated the recommendations for dining and must do things during our visit. Would definitely stay here again! 10/10!

Excellent stay

Amazing location, impeccably clean - really can’t beat the hospitality. Can’t express enough how perfect the location is. To be walking distance from everything in Bar Harbor (bike rentals, restaurants, ocean tour docks, etc) was huge value for us - we have 4 young kids, age 1-8. We could literally walk back from most dinner spots to change the little guy’s diaper! Acadia access was basically right down the road, took a short walk to a few different shuttles (including a bike shuttle which runs in the summer) as well as drove ourselves a couple times. All said - very much recommend!

Perfect & central Bar Harbor

This home is perfect for a stay near Acadia NP. It’s in central Bar Harbor - a short walk to anything you need including amazing restaurants, the shuttles into Acadia, and the tourist shops. It’s situated above an adorable unique gift shop opened by the VRBO hosts - make sure you stop in & say hi. The kitchen is well equipped for simple cooking. The bedrooms are nice and the bathroom is sufficient. We would 100% stay here again!
