This cottage was an ideal place to stay. Check in process was seamless. Location could not be better- easy walk to Bar Harbor and Bar Island. Quick entrance to Acadia. Kitchen was great- Kim left paper towels, napkins and other items available to us. Rooms were nice and happy to have 2 bathrooms. Window AC worked well for us. Thanks Kim, for a great vacation!
The property needs maintenance and TLC. Cobwebs on the stairwell and corners, filthy carpeting. Stairwell is very rickety and unstable for older adults. Could not reach the host for 2 days when they inadvertently reset the door code, and we had to leave property unsecured. The layout is a maze.Good locationComfy bedsNice sauna
This house was perfect for our family of 5. Lots of space and very well stocked. Location was perfect. Large grocery store practically across the street and an adorable and tasty pub across the driveway. Quick nice walk to shops and restaurants and close to the park entrance. Owner was AMAZING at communicating which was a super nice bonus. I would absolutely stay here again.
This was a great house, with a very responsive owner, for our women friends trip to Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. It was conveniently located to everything in the town of Bar Harbor. 4 nights is not enough; stay longer if you can; so much to see and do.
This was our first visit to Bar harbor and Acadia National Park. The house was perfect for our family. It was so convenient and we could walk everywhere. It was so clean and very well stocked. We had everything we needed and then some. The host was so accommodating because we had to come a day late due to a hurricane in Florida. We will definitely be back.
The location was perfect, walking distance to everything we needed. The hosts were accommodating and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed for our elderly mother who was traveling with us. The house was well equipped and comfortable. Highly recommend!
This was the perfect place to stay for our week in Bar Harbor and Acadia. There is a grocery store right across the street. The Sand Bar/Bar Island is just 2 blocks away and is a must see for tide pooling and hiking. There is a great restaurant literally less than 5 steps away for breakfast, lunch or dinner.It was really good! Kim was very helpful throughout the stay. The house is stocked with everything you need. We have stayed in rentals when this hasnât always been the case.You are sure to enjoy your trip when staying here!
Great property for a visit to Acadia NP and Bar Harbor. There were 6 adults and we all loved the location of this house. You canât get a better location. A grocery store that you can walk toâŠa restaurant across the street. Shopping and many restaurants just a short walk away. The house is super comfortable and is stocked so well with everything you need. We all agreed that we would go back. Communication with the owner was great.
First time to Bar Harbor and so glad we found this place. Located on a quiet street, yet we were a 5 minute walk to everything. House was clean and comfortable. Ownerâs communication was excellent. Would stay here again.
Den in back of the house was very nice - bright with skylights and quiet. We spent most of our indoor time there. Location is great, in that itâs just off Cottage and 1/2 block from grocery store. However, new construction on the street feels overwhelming, which is too bad for all the properties on this short street.
The rest of the house is pretty small. King and queens barely fit in the bedrooms. Further, wood stairs are a bit steep and are very squeaky and loud. The baths and kitchen were fine, but really need an updateâŠlook like they havenât been touched since 1970s.
Communications with owner were pretty good, but written info in house was often contradictory.
This home was everything that we wanted for our Maine visit. The house was clean, comfortable and had all the amenities needed. It was perfectly located to walk to local sites, restaurants and shopping. Easy access to Acadia National Park as well. Kim was great to work with and we highly recommended their home for your Bar Harbor visit. We will be back!
Aysgarth Cottage was perfect for our family vacation to Acadia. The house is super close to the park and walking distance to the grocery store for hiking snacks and restaurants for breakfast/dinner. The house was very clean and comfortable for our family of 6 adults. Kim was very responsive and left clear instructions. Our only complaint is washing/drying the linens before the 10am check out time is very tight. Even making sure towels were done the night before, waking up, packing, broom cleaning, and taking out the trash, left us down to the wire trying to switch the second load of sheets to the dryer to get out in time. Considering the cleaning fee, it'd be easier to get out at 10am just stripping the sheets. Overall happy with the stay!
We were very pleased with the house. There was plenty of space and the house was well stocked. The location was close to everything- shops, restaurants, the shoreline and a grocery store. We would stay there again.
Property is just blocks from Main Street. Itâs an easy walk to the water, shops and food. House fit our party of seven just fine. Every thing you might need is there, although we primarily were gone during the day and didnât want to cook.
The house exceeded our expectations. Very clean, well appointed with many comforts of home. Communication with owner was excellent. Location is the best- just far enough from the center of town to be quiet but a quick 5 minute walk away. Would highly recommend this property.

The story begins with Tom & Carrie Witt, from Hamden, CT. Carrie and Tom both fell in love with Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park on their honeymoon in October 1995. They came back every year and purchased the cottage in 2004. Over the years, when the cottage wasnât being rented by visitors Carrie and Tom shared their home, love, knowledge, and stories of Acadia with family and friends. It was during one of these visits that Carrie and Tom first introduced friends, Kim & Bill Wieler to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Much time was spent outdoors biking, hiking, cross country skiing and snowshoeing in and around the park, crossing the sand bar at low tide to reach Bar Island to enjoy the fields of lupine on their way to the top to view the harbor or by exploring downtown Bar Harbor and surrounding areas. Kim and Bill have been coming back ever since. Sadly, Tom passed away in 2010 and then Carrie in 2012. Their love for Asygarth Cottage and Acadia never diminished. They both found joy, peace, strength, and endless courage in the quiet trails and majestic vistas of Acadia. Kim and Bill will be forever grateful for their friendship and hospitality and now would like to welcome you to Bar Harbor Cottage.
