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!
This home was perfect for our stay with our three grown children and a couple of their spouses. The house was well equipped in the kitchen which made it easy to make some meals at home. We loved the location which made it easy to access the carriage roads for biking. We also hiked to the trail around Jordan Pond from the house. Several of us walked multiple times a few blocks to Seal Beach to hang out. It was about 20 mins. to Bar Harbor and stores there. Our kids enjoyed swimming in Echo Lake which was about a 15 min. drive. Edith, the host, responded quickly with any question or request for advice about restaurants or activities. Our family loved the back deck and spent time sitting outside. The dining room table was large enough to accommodate the 7 of us for meals and games. Everyone agreed that this home was perfect for our needs for the week. We highly recommend this home and 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.
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
My 3 friends and I took a road trip to Maine from Virginia. This house was the perfect location for Acadia National Park and Bar Harbour. The house was clean and enough room for all of us. It was great.
This property was clean, charming and in a great location with easy access to the carriage trail in Acadia. The house was well stocked with all that was needed and the host was easy to communicate with.
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!
The house was perfect for our stay. A great location for Acadia National Park, just minutes away. The home is older and we loved that! Communication with the owners was very quick whenever we had questions.
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.
This home is quite comfortable with well equipped kitchen and many other amenities.
The host was extremely accommodating and easy to work with. The location is perfect for accessing the carriage roads and the many trails from Jordan Pond, as well as the popovers!
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 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!!!!
Edieâs 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!
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.
This house was perfect for our family of 7. Well stocked, very clean, and communication with our host was fantastic!
Would stay here again if back in the area again.
Traveling with a group of cyclists and this house was just perfect. Just outside the park and not too far from Bar Harbor. Host was great and the garage with sofas was a sweet place to land after a day riding the park and Cadillac Mtn.
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 weâd love to come back.
The house was clean, spacious, and in a beautiful location. The beach and village green are a quick walk away, and Bar Harbor and restaurantsj a 15 minute drive. Clean linens and plenty of towels and hot water. I look forward to coming back with my family this summer!
What a unique place! The house was spacious, clean and very close to the Seal Harbor beach, a quiet and serene alternative to Bar Harbor. Beautiful scenery all around. Edie was quick to respond to our questions. We had everything we needed and would definitely stay again!
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!
My family has spent summers in Seal Harbor for 5 generations. My daughters and I have spent many winters here as well, enjoying Mount Desert Island in all weather. I love to share the beauty and magic of Seal Harbor, and I hope you have a great experience!
After selling the house I grew up in here, I bought this house from my cousins who were moving into assisted living. I love the feeling of the woods off of the deck and the quiet street. I am improving the house constantly, trying to upgrade the furniture, upholstery, and rugs. I have bought all new mattresses for the beds, new couches, a dining room table as well as the deck furniture.
Every direction you walk in from my house brings you somewhere beautiful. You can walk to the beach and the village green any time of day, or walk up the hill towards the Jordan Pond house and the carriage roads, or walk up Mackenzie Rd. to the Dunham School and the small playground.
