Loved being centrally located, yet tucked away off of the Main Street. Having a bakery next door was awesome!

We stayed over Thanksgiving while visiting family on the island. The location is fantastic - easy walk to the entire town. Our two high school boys took the upstairs so plenty of room to spread out. Parking was helpful even in the off-season. We were even able to get in some hikes in the park!

Our family visited Acadia national Park and Bar Harbor. You can’t beat the location of this property! Everything you wanted to do or see was very walkable. Property was well appointed, clean and communication with owner was excellent. I would definitely recommend when visiting the area.

The property was immaculate and comfortable. The location could not be better. Less than a block to coffee shop, restaurants, and shopping. Just a few short blocks to the coast and sunset viewing.

We enjoyed our stay in Bar Harbor and the fact that the house was so central. Generally well equipped. Bedrooms would benefit from blackout blinds or curtains and the curtain poles were flimsy.

The rental had everything we might need and was a short walk away from all things Bar Harbor. Check in was easy, and the property was comfortable. Could use a bit of TLC and refresh in areas (bathrooms, windows) and they have a bit of an insect problem, but we didn't pay much attention. Would stay here again.

Host Veena is great communicating with her guests. The location is perfect for walking around downtown Bar Harbor. It was well stocked with all you need and having washer/dryer on-site is a plus when traveling for more than a week!

Property is in a great location, next to a bakery, 5 minute walk to downtown and easy access to Acadia National Park. Have stayed twice and will probably return.

Home was clean and in a great location to walk all of Bar Harbor shops and restaurants. Also nice being able to walk to the Explorer bus stops to access Acadia park trails and sights without parking issues if you come during busy season (bus only runs certain months, did not use this visit but have on previous visits and LOVED the easy access)

This was a fantastic property in an amazing location in downtown Bar Harbor. You couldn't really ask for a better location. The host was hospitable and a fantastic communicator. My family of of four had an amazing time and it was great having this property as a base!
Oh, it is also about 2-3 blocks from the Island Bar Trail, which was pretty great!

This place was just off the main street and very quite. Everything was easy to walk to. The condo was the perfect size for 4 to 6 people and was a great place for use to relax after our busy days. Our contact for the condo was so helpful with a very minor TV issue and solved it immediately. We would love to stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay. We were three women so we all had our own room which was nice. I can’t think of anything that was missing. Kitchen and bathrooms and laundry were all stocked with everything we needed. The location was close to everything. Could even walk to the grocery store.
I highly recommend and hope to have an opportunity to stay here again!

We love the location and walkability to everything in downtown. Nice spacious family home with board games, furnished kitchen and communicative accomodating manager. Definitely worth the price. One suggestion - Addition of a shower gel dispenser in baths would make it super helpful.

This townhouse was just back behind Cottage Street which is the main street into Bar Harbor. It was quiet and private. We couldn't have been any better located to downtown Bar Harbor! Just steps from our front door! Beautiful, well equipped home, very clean rental. Would highly recommend this home! We look forward to a return stay.
