Enchanteur Bar Harbor Cottage

Our stay was October 2018. Our first impression of the property stuck with us for our stay- “it’s a little tired and shabby.” The cabin is small, has a nice back deck, plenty of heat and hot water, and very convenient to have a washer and dryer to use. Loft is cozy and has nice energy, and there’s environmentally friendly hand soap in the bathroom. Definitely nice, quiet neighborhood. John, as previous reviews indicated, was very responsive to questions. The things we didn’t so much like included: there are no closets to store things away (suitcases, bags, boots, coolers, etc.); back bedroom not usable because there wasn’t adequate heat for the temperatures; Poor lighting- Especially in kitchen and living area; no comfortable sitting area in the living room- chairs were old and worn, including futon couch; bed in the loft was uncomfortable. The peeling paint on the windows, the broken storm door closer(s) on the storm door (made it hard bringing items in and out). It is not a place that feels cared for as it would if someone lived there.

We stayed at this property September 30-October 5, 2018. Here is my summary:

- The cabin itself is very comfortable, with cozy furniture, games to play, is clean and homey. Heat works very well, water pressure is great in the kitchen and the bathroom. Shower is clean and very functional, with water heating up very quickly;

- The kitchen has everything you need. You can even bake if you want to. We cooked every day and didn't lack for anything;

- Bedrooms are very cozy and mattresses are very comfortable. My husband has back problems and even he slept like a log every night. The unattached cabin was very comfortable and we enjoyed sleeping to the sounds of rain. It was very relaxing;

The cabin is very conveniently located, very close to Route 3, and not too far to the bridge on/off Mouth Desert Island. We never had to sit in traffic, good grocery stores are close by, some nice restaurants are a few minutes away. We didn't need for anything.

We loved our stay! Thanks for having us John :)

Charming, we'll-appointed cottage, so close to the cove and everything else you'll want to see in Bar Harbor. Clean accommodations and John is very responsive to any needs. I heartily recommend this rental.

Very clean, had everything we needed, great location. John is an excellent host. Very responsive.

The cottage was perfect for the four of us! The location was wonderful set in the woods on a quiet street near a rocky beach and a short drive to awesome mountain hikes in Acadia National Park. I haven't a single complaint about the trip except that it's over!!!
