Amazing stay
We have been coming to Bar Har for years and rented various places. This was by far my favorite! It was so clean and the location is so convenient, we just loved it! I cannot say enough great things about this place. We felt very lucky to have stayed there. We really hope we can stay here again next year!

Perfect Home and Perfect Location
We loved our stay!!! We were 3 adults and this home was more than enough space for us. It was very clean and had lots of staples in the kitchen that we didn't need to purchase. Loved the location...very close to all of downtown as well as the park. We parked our car and walked to downtown for restaurants and grocery store. Minutes from the park entrance. We had an issue with the hot water but Veena and Will were on top of it.

What an amazing trip!
What a wonderful stay! Such lovely home. Perfect location. Everything we could have wanted. Felt like home. We spend our time working, hiking and biking all through Acadia. Enjoyed several terrific meals in Bar Harbor all within walking distance. Loved our stay at your home! Host could not have been kinder.

Great Place
This was the perfect place for us. Included all the comforts of home (except I never found an ironing board). Very clean, beautiful kitchen, comfortable beds, great local. Perfect walking distance to everything downstreet and just a short drive to Acadia. The only reason for 4 stars is, like another review stated, the furniture in the living room is extremely uncomfortable and the room is just poorly set up. It made hanging out in the evenings and spending a rainy day in unpleasant at best. The room downstairs has a nice sofa but still not set up comfortably.

Great Location, Cute place
This was the perfect place for our family to stay for our Acadia trip. Each kid had their own space which makes trips go so much smoother (2 adults, 1 tween, 1 teen). Being one block off one of the main drags made everything very convenient. The townhouse is updated and we have zero complaints. I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect place to stay
The location of this rental could not have been better. Walkable to everything including groceries. You can also easily drive to all the hiking trails without having to fight through pedestrian traffic. Nice spacious property. I had no problems with anything while staying there and didn’t need to contact the management during my stay. However I left something behind and they contacted me before I even realized I was missing it. They shipped my belongings back to me immediately and were so kind and helpful.

Bar Harbor stay
This place was very clean, quiet, and definitely well-located for us as we didn't want to have to drive everytime we wanted to go downtown. We were able to walk to the various shops and restaurants nearby and downtown. We are so glad we chose to stay here.

Ideal location in the center of Bar Harbor
This townhouse was very clean with a well equipped and spacious kitchen for cooking in. Having a bathroom on each of the two main floors was also a plus. The only complaint I have is that both loveseats were quite uncomfortable for sitting and should probably be replaced. Very walkable to restaurants, a supermarket, and shops.

Great location - great house - great host
House was an excellent choice for our mother/daughter getaway. It is stocked perfectly for someone who is flying and only arriving with a suitcase in hand. Location is very central and easy to walk to the restaurants and shops on the main streets of Bar Harbor… and you are about 2 blocks from the walkway to Bar Island. I highly recommend renting this place for the week instead of staying at a hotel!

A week in bar harbor for four people.
Great location. Easy walking to the heart of Bar Harbor. Quietly tucked in off a main street. Very clean, uncluttered, and spacious enough for two couples to come together or have alone time. We used the kitchen to make and eat breakfast and some lunches for seven night stay. Close to a good grocery store. Easy to walk to the restaurants and bars. Convenient parking with easy in and out to get to other Island attractions. We all would stay here again.
