Great accommodations!

Location of the house is great! Everything in bar harbor is walkable and it’s a quick drive to Acadia. The house is well stocked. My only small criticism is that some of the appliances and the mattress seem pretty outdated, so I say 4.75/5. I loved all the bird themed decor :)Thanks for a great stay!

Excellent location

This isn’t the fanciest place in Bar Harbor, but it has so many great things going for it. The host is very responsive, and the location is ideal—close enough to downtown to walk easily, but far enough to be quiet and peaceful. The dedicated parking spot is a huge plus, making it easy to come and go without the hassle of finding street parking. I also loved that the bedroom is tucked away upstairs, offering a cozy, private retreat.

Great spot to be in Bar Harbor!

We loved this rental! You are just steps from all the shops and restaurants, but since it's on a side street, it was very quiet. Erik answered any questions immediately and the pics on the site were spot on. Easy access to Acadia National Park. Would definitely rent here again.

Excellent Stay

First of all, Eric was a great host. The Loon Nest was an excellent stay for our first time in Bar Harbor. The property is just a short walk to all the attractions of the town of Bar Harbor and a short drive or bike to Acadia. After a day of hiking, shopping, and a big lobster feast this was excellent place to relax. Highly recommend.

Week in Bar Harbor

A well-maintained roomy apartment on two floors with a separate entrance and balcony in an older building. Both the living room on the 2nd floor and bedroom on the 3rd floor are good-sized and the separate kitchen has all that one needs to cook. Ideal for an extended stay where one wants to spread out. Location is excellent a few blocks from Main St and the free Acadia shuttles. The host was very helpful. We would readily return for an extened stay.

Great location!

Perfect for exploring Bar Harbor and Acadia. The village green, restaurants, and shops are a short walk away, and the park entrance is less than 10 minutes away. The owner is very helpful and responsive and the apartment includes lots of maps and other information about the park.

A Great Week

We come to Bar Harbor every year. This was a wonderful place to stay--perfect location, close to shops and restaurants but at the same time very quiet (and with a shady balcony that was perfect for reading). And Eric was quick to respond to any questions. We had a great week.

Great Location

We had a great time in Bar Harbor. The condo was nice and clean when we arrived. The location was great and very walkable to shops and restaurants. We had no hair dryer there when we arrived but Eric had one delivered that afternoon. He responded quickly whenever we needed to ask any questions or had any concerns.

This property is in a great location. Easy to walk to bars, restaurants, sight seeing. It does have lots of stairs to walk up and down. Neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The instruction book needs to be clearer. Checkout time is not in book. It was confusing.

Good times at the Loon's Nest

This location is actually a great spot. You can walk everywhere in town. Two floors give guests lots of space, along with the private balcony. Easy walks to coffee shops and restaurants. Lots of retail shops too. The host was helpful and provided fast responses when needed. If you're ok with stairs then this is the place for you.

Great find in the heart of downtown Bar Harbor

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Loon Nest. The location is ideal and Eric (our host) had it stocked with everything one could possibly need! We would not hesitate to recommend it or to stay there again. One tiny thing: the pillows could be refreshed.

Great Location

You can't beat the location and Eric communicates very well through the entire process. We were able to walk to restaurants and it's only 2 blocks to the Village Green where you can grab an Island Shuttle into Acadia. Free parking out front and easy walk into town. The accommodations were as described but it is not fancy. Kitchen was adequate but we only cooked one dinner there and a few breakfasts. We left a few wine glasses as we couldn't find any. There is no a/c but a large fan that cools down the upper floor. We would not hesitate to stay here again given the location and responsiveness of the owner.

Eric was very responsive. He stayed in regular communication before and during our visit; providing helpful tips on dining and getting around the island. Not enough time in a week to eat and see all the attractions….a great apartment location to walk into town in 5 minutes. (Less on a bike). Thanks again Eric
