Bordering Acadia National Park

Nestled in the quiet residential village of Seal Harbor this 1910 house with spacious deck overlooks the woods of Acadia National Park. Within easy walking distance of the Seal Harbor Beach and village green (10 mins), coffee shop (5 mins), and bike rentals. Half a mile to Jordan Pond, the carriage roads, and dozens of hikes and biking trails in the park. Just 15 minute drive to hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. Two and a-half bathrooms. Wood floors with area rugs, except the kitchen and bathrooms. New mattresses, sheets and towels. New couches, rugs, and curtains. Fully functional, dated kitchen. Thoroughly cleaned between every rental. There are neighbors on both sides of the house. We love our cosy home and hope you will too!

Great Location
Lots of space in a great location, away from the traffic of Bar Harbor and close to the truly lovely Seal Cove area. Outdoor deck looks over a forest. Easy to get to Park entrance and use their buses. Owner was very helpful. Second bathroom on second floor is quite tiny, but not a problem.

A lovely stay
Perfect for a trip with a group of friends, would definitely stay here again! The house was perfect for our group (3 couples + 2 siblings), great location for any outings across the island, and plenty of space for us to hang out or eat in without feeling on top of each other. Owner was very helpful and friendly

Perfect location - quiet, friendly and close to hiking and biking. Good nearby restaurant and great bike rental/store - but not crowded like Bar Harbor. Edie was very flexible with us and super-fast to answer questions and give great suggestions. House was well-stocked. We are already planning our next visit!

Lovely house close to Acadia
This is a very well kept old house, full of New England charm, well stocked, with very comfortable beds. It's super convenient to Acadia and Bar Harbor without being in the middle of the hubbub. We had a lovely time!

Nice stay close from the National Park and Bar Harbor
We liked our stay at Edie's place. We were a large group of 8 and were easily accommodated in the house. The house is quiet and well equipped for a large group and is conveniently located from the National park and Bar Harbor. I would definitely recommend the place.

Great Base Camp
We were two families with young children and found the home to be a great fit for us. It was within walking distance to a beach great for exploring and wading and a coffee/ice cream shop. Also - it was a short trip to lots of hiking trails, scenic spots, and the horse carriage rides which we all enjoyed. The house was very well stocked with towels, soap, and supplies you might not expect like a tablecloth for the picnic table on the deck, laundry basket, cooler bags, portable chairs, and family games. Edith our host touched base throughout our stay to ensure things were going well. We would definitely stay there again!

The best of both worlds
The property was on the edge of Acadia where we hiked several trails and visited 3 different beaches and just totally enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine and scenic views. It was only a short walk down to Seal Harbor for the beach and swings for the granddaughters. And Bar Harbor was only 7 miles away for the walking town experience. The best of both worlds!!!!

Perfect spot to explore Arcadia & Bar Habor!
Edie’s place was perfect for our family getaway! Great location - 15 minutes to Acadia hikes (Cadillac & Beehive) and easy stroll (.5 miles) to Seal Harbor beach. Restaurants of Bar Harbor are a short drive which makes this rental a great choice. The house it self is huge and well stocked with everything you need for a group trip. Great value for the stay!

Acadia National Park Visit
The home is perfect for visiting Acadia National Park. It has plenty of room for the family. The location to the park is great. The area is quiet and has a diner and coffee shop a short walk away. You could also walk to the pick up for the Island explorer if needed. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful spacious home, walking distance to beach
We stayed here for five nights with my parents and our three children. There was plenty of room for everyone. It was comfortable and quiet. We cooked almost every night and the kitchen was well appointed. We enjoyed having dinners out on the back patio and walking to the beach. It was the perfect spot and we’d love to come back.

Our family enjoyed staying here with the easy access to the park and away from the bar harbor crowds. The owner was always just a quick text away. Kitchen was stocked with kitchen staples (olive oil, salt, pepper, etc) making cooking easier. Hope to return some day!

Quaint Home at Jordon Pond
We had a lovely time at this quaint and spacious home. The owner was incredibly responsive and even went the extra mile and located a pack and play for us to use during our stay. This charming house has lots of character, ample space and is in the perfect location. It backs up to the beautiful forest and is just minutes away from Jordan Pond, Seal Harbor and the most idyllic botanical gardens. The owner also supplied basic supplies such as soap, toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, kitchen supplies. She has a bunch of fun games that we played nightly with our kiddos and they explored her book shelves and spent some time reading. We actually ended up needing to return some of the groceries we bought because she had them on hand. We enjoyed our stay so much that the family even talked of getting our own home there. :) We truly had the best time and made memories that we will forever cherish with our family.

Great location!!
We really enjoyed our stay at Seal Harbor! The location is perfect and easily accessible to the park, Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor. The house is older and slightly dated but it was clean, and spacious for our group. We had success cooking in the kitchen and had enough cooking supplies. Edie does supply basic needs such as laundry detergent, and cooking oil which is helpful. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are big. Edie was wonderful to work with. She did tell us that she was order new coaches, and they might be delivered during our stay & they were. We would stay here again.
