Family oriented vacation house
We just spent 5 days at this property with adults and 2 children, ages 1 and 3. Aside from the bedrooms being upstairs, everything was really great! Clean, well equipped, lots of room, easy to accommodate the age ranges and interests. Including a great washer and dryer in the downstairs and a piano in the "office" which is a second family room.

We really enjoyed our stay. The home was clean, well stocked, and convenient for all our activities in Bar Harbor and Acadia NP. At the same time, it was nice to be in a quiet neighborhood away from the busyness of the town. Would definitely stay here again in the future if we return to Bar Harbor.

Acadia Hiking Vacation
There were 6 of us staying and it was a very clean and comfortable vacation home! We drove to Acadia everyday for hikes. It is conveniently located and close to the park and restaurants in Bar Harbor. It was a 20-30 min walk to downtown, so we drove some and walked some. We had fun at the Reels pizza place where you could watch a movie while eating pizza. It was a great vacation and the house had plenty of comfy beds, showers and space.

Perfect location
Our family of eight visited Bar Harbor for a long memorial day celebration. The home is well appointed with all of the amenities needed for a great vacation. Plenty of room to spread out and kitchen was well stocked. The location couldn’t be any better whether it be getting to town, Acadia, or all other points of interest. Neighborhood was very quiet plenty of parking in the front of the home for four cars. Host was very responsive to all questions and any issues that we had with the home. Would definitely stay at this home again, if in the area.

Bar Harbor
We loved our stay at Bar Harbor! We were close to hiking, shops, and restaurants. The house was clean, comfortable and well-stocked. Even with bad weather (it was cold and rainy all week), we were able to do almost everything we planned. Location and a good washer/dryer were definite pluses this week!!

Wonderful stay in Bar Harbor
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Jane’s lovely cottage in Bar Harbor. The stay exceeded our expectations in every way. Jane is such an amazing host who was responsive and so kind and understanding. The home was immaculate, very comfortable and well equipped. The location is perfect too - 5 mins to the town of Bar Harbor, less than 10 mins to Acadia NP and 2 mins from Parsons lobster pound. We will stay here again next time we visit Bar Harbor!

Very clean and neat. Close to town. Jane is a great host and very responsive.
House was what we wanted for four days. Very comfortable and close to the center of town. Fully equipped with everything you need. FYI: 10 AM check out on the day you leave, give yourself time to strip the beds, wash dishes, throw away trash, and start washing of the towels.

Nice stay
The property looks like it’s been recently updated. It’s also clean and has all the amenities. Check-in was easy. The location was great. We appreciated the umbrellas, washer/dryer, and extra blankets! (JFYI the bathtub was out of order). The only con is that there were A LOT of check out instructions and pre-cleaning to do (10 bullet points worth).

Bar Harbor family getaway
We were looking for a place for a final summer vacation before school starts and this place did not disappoint! Jane was very communicative and prompt, the house is very clean and more than enough space for 4 adults and 2 children. The kitchen is fully stocked including a lobster pot that we used. Parsons Lobster is about a 5min walk away. And the cute town of Bar Harbor is also in walking distance. This is the closes we have stayed to town and this house was exactly as described and reviewed by everyone else before us. I'm still dreaming of my vacation.

Wonderful property and perfect location. Chih-Hao, owner, was a delight to interact with! The location is very walkable to Bar Harbor, less then a kilometer from downtown. It’s close to the grocery store for supplies too. Acadia Nat’l Park is a 15 min drive away and we strongly suggest you watch a sun rise there. The property is exceptional and clean. Make sure to bring you slippers. It quiet too, we all slept like babies! The treats and water were a wonderful surprise, thank you Chih-Hao! The Martland’s had a great time!,!

Family Refresh
Beautiful and well appointed house in a good neighborhood and very convenient to both the Bar Harbor town center and Acadia National Park. The house interior is roomy, modern and comfortable. There is a small patio with a barbecue which we didn’t use much; some plantings in the yard can add to the overall attractiveness of the property. This was a minor detraction for us, though, since we spent our days outdoors in the national park, boat tours and beyond and used the house interior, including the well appointed kitchen when we were home. And yes, we felt like we were home. Thanks, Jane!
