About this property
Beautiful Artistic Home Ideal for Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor
VR1R25-151
This creative vacation rental was designed by an extremely talented local artist. It is a short walk to downtown Bar Harbor, the shore, and offers easy access to Acadia National Park. The Island Explorer, located downtown, offers a free bus service to anywhere on the island. Located in a residential area, the top floor of this renovated home is a picture of serenity, peace and quiet. Surrounded by tall trees, the space is reminiscent of dwelling in a luxurious tree house! Enjoy brilliant stars on a custom stargazing bench, relaxing on a walkout deck off the master bedroom, or sitting on the private covered front porch. The spectacular bathroom is the showcase featuring a one of a kind breathtaking tile creation. As you sit in the jacuzzi tub you will be swept away into a vision of Frenchman's bay featuring the elusive Orca whale. Not your average run of the mill vacation rental. Words can not describe what it has to offer.
Golfing: The historic Kebo Vally golf course is located just over the hill, offering world-class golfing.
Children: Directly across the street you will find Glen Mary woods, a city owned park, adjacent is the Glen Mary wading pool, perfect for younger children. Picnic are, restroom and swings are located next to the pool.

Stayed here last week in Aug. Ideal location. Quiet neighborhood away from the main streets but within 10 minutes walking to Bar Harbor restaurants, shops and Acadia bus locations.
This VRBO was perfect for our stay in Bar Harbor! While a lot of stuff is closed in the winter, it was close to everything we wanted to do. The space was clean and a good size for our family of four. Would love to stay here again when we visit!
I was very impressed with the location of the house and size of the rooms. The balconies and large tub were great bonuses. One of the rooms got a little bit warm without a fan or A/C, but I imagine those aren't needed most of the year, so that's a minor gripe. All in all, we were very happy to stay here and would consider returning.
We loved our stay here. The location is excellent—10 minute walk to downtown Bar Harbor and 10 minute drive to Acadia National Park. The place was clean and comfortable and had a well stocked kitchen. The beds were comfortable, the decor was warm and inviting; there was three porches/balconies we had access to as well! We would definitely stay here again.
The location is incredible. We were able to walk to downtown Bar Harbor in 10 minutes and had easy access to Acadia. Our host responded quickly to any questions we had, and the space was great. I recommend staying here!
We couldn't be happier with our stay at Marsha's place in Bar Harbor. The apartment was just as advertised, and was very clean. The kitchen was excellently appointed with all we needed to cook our meals. The location was perfect for exploring the island while being able to walk into Bar Harbor. And the price was a most excellent value. Thank you, Marsha!
The very sweet and conscientious owners made our trip destination extremely comfortable, as they stocked the kitchen will all necessary appliances and equipment. The location of the rental is perfect for walking to the town of Bar Harbor, or driving to locations outside of town. Overall, would give this a 10 out of 10!

Wonderful place in a quiet neighborhood - away from the crowds in Bar Harbor, but close enough to walk to shops and restaurants. Everything was as advertised. Our only suggestion would be to add a grab bar in the bathroom tub.
This home is on a quiet street across from a wooded park. close walking distance to main street and all of the shops and restaurants. Spacious rooms and everything we needed was there. Hiking trails nearby that take you right into Acadia Park. Strong WIFI, cable t.v., full kitchen, plenty of hot water for back to back showers. 2 Out door seating areas (decks). Cant miss with this property.
The three bedroom apartment was upstairs, private, and cool at night with cross breezes. The air conditioner was on when we arrived (a hot week), which was a nice touch, but we did not need it in the morning or evening or overnight. Just a few blocks from town, and a few miles from Acadia, the neighborhood is leafy and quiet. The owners (right downstairs) respected our privacy all week and were friendly when we met up two times in the backyard by the separate entrance. We hope to be back. It could not have been much better.
Great location in quiet neighbor with easy access to the shops and restaurants in downtown Bar Harbor (10 min walk). Short drive to Acadia. It was a comfortable and relaxing place to return to after biking the carriage trails.
