This is our second stay at this location. The location within town is unbeatable and everything was as described. The property was clean and nothing was broken, but the kitchen and bathrooms are a bit dated. This did not matter to us but may to some. We had cool weather so it was irrelevant but two of the four bedrooms did not have air conditioning during our stay. This may have been an issue if the weather was warmer at night. The neighborhood is both right in the middle of town with everything in easy walking distance and extremely quiet/peaceful at night. We will likely be back.
This home was perfectly situated in downtown Bar Harbor. It was conveniently located to the fun downtown shops and restaurants but felt farther away, as it is down a quieter side street. The home has an older vibe to it, but I personally liked that charm. We did have an issue with the upstairs bathroom shower not functioning, but the management team/home owner were very responsive and did the best they could to try resolving the issue. I found them to be very responsive and helpful and would enjoy stating here again.
The location is the reason why I chose this property. I originally booked a location on Ledgelawn, but I wanted to be closer to the shoreline. Dorrieâs house is just down the street from all the restaurants and shops. I loved being so close to the shoreline.
I had a wonderful time in Bar Harbor last week with my 3 sisters. This property has 4 bedrooms so we each had our own room! The location could not be better, in the heart of Bar Harbor where you can walk to a bike rental for the Park, to local restaurants, and it's just a short car ride to the Park entrance for a sunset view on Cadillac Mountain. The property also allows pets. Although we didn't bring one, I was amazed to learn that Acadia is one of the few National Parks that allow dogs on hiking trails, so this place is perfect for someone who wants to hike the Park with their dog:)
The downstairs area is very comfortable, with a large oval table for eating and playing games, and a bathroom with a shower. The upstairs was really my only issue. I had read that the beds weren't great and this was certainly true. The bathroom is quite small and it was missing a towel rack or hooks to hang any towels. Updating the mattresses and bathroom would go a long way to making this a 5-star experience.
The house was perfect for our family. The location was ideal for our family and dog, the house was clean, and we truly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend!
Overall can't beat the location, it was perfect to walk to downtown within minutes and the driveway did fit 2 SUVs (which would have been a nightmare to park on the street and also impossible because of the permits required). The 4 stars instead of 5 is because the some of the upstairs bedroom doors and bathroom door didn't shut, and the smallest bedroom didn't have an window air conditioning unit (which were in all of the other bedrooms) and there was no fan to use in the room which made it difficult for our 13 year old niece on the nights that it rained because we needed to close the windows which then made it very stuffy. If you're able to leave the windows open, it probably would be fine. There was also really no way to use the backyard (no tables or chairs), so you can only sit inside or 4 people on the breezeway. The house itself was fine, clean and had the standard amenities (though no measuring cups so bring your own).
Our family of four had a wonderful time in Bar Harbor. Bike and kayak rentals are a block away, and we could walk to all restaurants, bars, and other locations in downtown Bar Harbor.
Location, location, location! House is older but clean and Dorrie is over generous with supplying plenty of towels, toilet paper, detergents and other supplies. The location is unbeatable. Everything in Bar Harbor is within a few minutes walk. Acadia is a very short drive. We had a wonderful vacation and Dorrieâs house helped make it perfect.
Our group of 5 adults enjoyed our stay here! This home is the perfect location to walk to everything in Bar Harbor and a very short drive to Acadia National Park. The fenced in back yard was a plus for the pup!
Older house but comfortably accommodated 4 adults, 2 kids and a pups. It had everything we need (kitchen essentials, linens, etc) and in a great location - walkable to restaurants and shops and short drive to Acadia.
Our group of 4 women stayed three nights and enjoyed the location of the home; it's convenient to walk to shops, restaurants, and the harbor. The designated parking place was helpful. The bed linens were fresh and comfortable. The home was clean.
The room with the twin bed is best for a child's room, in my opinion. The bathroom on the main floor was not operable because the toilet would not flush and the shower door was broken. The upstairs bathroom worked, but do understand that all the plumbing is very old. The owner was responsive and gave us a credit on our account balance because the bathroom was not fixed during our stay.
The house is in a great location. We walked to shops, restaurants, ferry boats and grocery store. Acadia National Park is also a short drive from the house.
Owners were quick to respond to any questions we had.
Our stay was very nice⊠property was clean the location was perfect.. everything in town within walking distance. Acadia National Park was a short drive and worth it. Lobster rolls on every corner,very friendly town would love to go back!
Great location on side street accessible to restaurants, breweries, waterfront, bike and kayak rentals, attractions, etc. Acadia National Park just a short drive away. Just keep in mind it is an older property with some character and quirks. If you are looking for an HGTV quality remodeled property, this rental is not for you. Also note free parking available is for two cars only next to house. Only complaint from the 6 adults was the beds-----they could probably use some upgraded mattresses and different platforms so they don't squeak as much. Overall, we loved being able to park the cars and explore everything great about Bar Harbor on foot!
We had a very nice experience at this property. The major plus to this property is the location. It is so close to downtown and all the Bar Harbor attractions, but is also on a quiet, private street.
Needs improvement of the basement where washing machine and dryer located: fiberglass exposed walls
I did put complain to vrbo about the fiberglass exposed walls , place was not clean: I sent photos as proof: unsafe windows, cobs webs on lights and fans, crawling bugs. Just unacceptable.
Mattresses were terrible : not only sinking everywhere, they just didnât sit on the frame and made squeaky noise , all of us did not sleep well.
In order for safety to next visitors I recommend taking care of all the safety issues and comfort.
Location was fantastic but thats all.
Wonderful home in a fantastic canât beat location. Property had everything our family needed and is walking distance to everything you could want to do in town. Highly recommend
From the day I was born I grew up summering in Bar Harbor ( My parents didn't want to leave) Acadia National Park was my play ground... My husband was recently transferred so we had to leave Bar Harbor. I am not ready to give up the place I call home ....
Federal Street Retreat is located in the Heart of Down Town Bar Harbor... for me it meant a short walk to work... for you it means a chance to park you car and not get back in til its time to go home.... you can walk to Acadia National Park, Restaurants, Entertainment and Shopping
