Relaxing efficiency apartment in Bar Harbor on 2 acre of woods

Maine and Acadia National Park welcomes you!

Enjoy our quiet secluded location just a short drive from the town of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. A one bedroom, one bathroom efficiency apartment with its own private entrance. Our street is very quiet and off the Peggy Rockafeller farm and surrounded by mature oak and maple trees making for a very relaxing location. Deer and wild turkeys frequent our yard daily and a welcome addition to morning coffee on the patio, or in the hammock in the backyard! We welcome families and children! We are 6 miles from Bar Harbor’s shopping, restaurants and main attractions and an equal distance to the beautiful Somesville, Maine and western side of Acadia National Park. Easy, quick access to Eagle Lake Carriage Roads (4 miles) and Park Loop Road (5 miles) makes for easy access to the rest of Acadia National Park. We are a great resource for suggestions and planning your vacation in Bar Harbor and Acadia and look forward to you experiencing the best of our beautiful island!

Owners live on property with their family and two dogs. We share the mud room wall and give you the utmost privacy. Please note the bathroom has a beautiful bear claw tub to soak in and a shower attachment that can be tight for taller people. 6 foot men have had no problem but if a guest has mobility issues we want to be clear about this ahead of time (photos are included). The unit is upstairs so if you have coolers or any issues with carring luggage up a flight if stairs that would be a draw back. *Please note if you have previously stayed with us or see all the reviews about dogs, we are temporarily not dog friendly since we got a yorki puppy!

This is by far the greatest place I’ve found on VRBO. The pictures matched the apartment perfectly. There was a binder provided with food suggestions and hiking suggestions and it was spot on! There isn’t a thing we would change.

Cute little place close to Bar Harbor without the hustle bustle of downtown
Cute little place close to the National Park and Bar Harbor. Exactly as advertised. Loved the hammock in the backyard to sit and unwind after a day of hiking. Jennifer was very hospitable. We got a lot of great restaurant and hike ideas from the host. Note Wi-Fi can be a bit spotty at times.

Away from the crowds
This relaxing efficiency was exactly what we needed in Bar Harbor. We were minutes away from Acadia National Park and never had to deal with the crowds in Bar Harbor. The owners were very helpful in providing suggested hikes and carriage roads to explore as well as local restaurants. The space seemed larger than in the pictures, clean and comfortable. Loved our stay and would book again.

Solo vacation in Acadia
Jennifer and Jeremy were wonderful and welcoming hosts. Jeremy provided a map with suggested hikes in Acadia to do and Jen told me about best places to eat outside Bar Harbor. The place was clean and cozy and just what I needed for a relaxing vacation.

Wonderful location
What a fantastic place to stay!! With how busy it gets in Bar Harbor it was amazing to be able to get out of the hustle and bustle. Great location for Acadia as well. Jen’s suggestions for trails and restaurants were spot on. We felt completely at home with everything we needed plus a back yard for our dog to run a bit. We would definitely stay here again!!

Nice Studio Close to Acadia
The studio was great in the sense that it was away from all the touristy aspects of Bar Harbor and yet so close to Acadia, a quiet getaway in the woods! It was generally clean (there was some dog hair in the rugs and the linens in the bathroom were a bit tired). The kitchen cooking equipment was just as stated so no surprise there. The bed was super comfy with nice linens. I would definitely worry about the bathroom if I were an older person (I wouldn’t have my 80+ mom to stay here). You have to climb in the tub over the edge and the curtain and shower head present a bit of a challenge. And most days the water was luke warm. Overall I’d stay again solely based on its location. The hosts were very nice!

Charming place in the Maine Woods convenient to Bar Harbor
We were pleasantly surprised by the accommodations! The room was actually quite large, well equipped and attractively decorated. A private deck adjoined the entrance with a view of a grassy lawn and woods beyond. Contrary to another post, we were able to manage the stair with our luggage despite being in our late 70s+.

Bar Harbor Retreat
A beautiful over the garage apartment that was clean, new, and efficient with conveniences of WIFI and light cooking in a wooded neighborhood within driving a short driving distance of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We enjoyed the hiking and the delicious food from local restaurants and the quiet out in the country neighborhood. (We heard the first Whip-o-will since my childhood!) Their loveable golden retriever, Lucky, welcomed us home every evening. A truly delightful experience, and our thanks to Jennifer and Jeremy for their hospitality.

Fun time
Nice location and a very pleasant host. The stairs would be too much for anyone in their late 70's. Great place for a dog as there was woods out back to walk them. One recommendation would be to have a mat that would stick down in the bathtub. Nice central place to get to the hikes in Acadia. We were blessed with nice weather also.

Great jumping off piont
Somewhat centrally located on east side of island makes getting to and from all points easy. The room is cozy and nice. My wife and I are very tall so the shower was a challenge. We noticed that there was no stove for cooking the night before we were to check in, we packed up a bunch of left overs and just nuked them. Really this was a blessing as less hassle and cleaning. Overall I would stay again.
