Great rental for our time in Acadia! Walkable to Bar Harbour and easy access to the park. Well stocked kitchens, clean rooms and bathrooms, and fit our group of 8 well. Would definitely recommend this place.
Check in was a breeze and the entire house, including the kitchen layout, worked really well for our family of six. Absolutely wonderful to be able to walk into town and a quick drive to the park entrances. Fire pit in the back, lovely front porch to enjoy morning coffee. Shaun was a lovely host! We cant wait to be back!
We were thrilled with our stay - the house and location were absolutely wonderful! Loved the fact that we were walking distance to Bar Harbor and had a playground within a block of us. Our family used the outside grill which was very nice and a huge plus since we cooked many of our own meals. Shaun was great with his communication and responded very promptly! We would definitively recommend this house and stay there again if ever back in the area!!
We had such an amazing week at this spacious Bar Harbor home! Shaun was an excellent host- very accommodating and communicative. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was fully equipped with cookware , coffee , lunch bags, aluminum foil etc. Itâs a quick 11 minute walk into town and a 3 minute drive from the supermarket. We have stayed at many places in Bar Harbor over the past 15 years and this was our favorite. :)
Enjoyed our stay in July at this home. Note that there are window A/C units in two of the bedrooms and fans throughout the house. We had a couple of days were in the upper 70s/low 80s that made the home warm, but not too warm. Beds were comfy, kitchen and baths were clean and updated. The location is great - 10-15 min walk to downtown and grocery store, 5-7 min drive to Cadillac Mtn., easy walk to some trails in Acadia. Would have loved to stay longer!
We had a fantastic summer vacation in Bar Harbor! We feel very fortunate that we found Shaun and Carrie's house and were there for the week. Our first trip to Maine was very memorable, from hikes in Acadia National Park to whale watching to the restaurants and coffee shops. Shaun and Carrie's house was so conveniently located to everything we did. When hanging around downtown Bar Harbor, it was only a short walk away so didn't need to drive. The house was comfortable and plenty of room for us 5 adults. The house had all of the accommodations that we were expecting and as listed. The blueberry pie was tasty, thank you! We would love to visit Bar Harbor again and certainly would look to stay at Shaun and Carrie's house! They were easy to communicate with and very responsive. Thanks!
The house was perfect for 5 adults and a quick walk to downtown Bar Harbor. Shaun was extremely accommodating when we had to modify our stay and was very responsive. House is very well equipped for cooking and spending quality time together. I would definitely return. We were also welcomed with a delicious homemade blueberry pie and were pleasantly surprised to find.an opened coffee in the cupboard as well. Would highly recommend
This house held a few friends from a larger hiking group. It was well designed and comfortable and in a great location, only a few blocks walk from the best of Bar Harbor and in a quiet neighborhood
This home was perfect for a family vacation. Our hosts were wonderful and responded so quickly to any questions we had. We will come back for sure! Thank you Shaun!
We chose this property for the number of beds and short walk to town. It was perfect for our group. The kitchen was one of the most well-stocked we've ever stayed at. There was cone shaped coffee filters, coffee, sugar, sugar-substitute, salt, pepper, various seasonings/spices, plenty of pots/pans/utensils, and a kettle to heat water for tea. The bathrooms were just as well appointed with plenty of towels, handtowels, washcloths, hand soap, toilet tissue, and a hair dryer. We loved all the original artwork, provided games/puzzles, and new outdoor front porch furniture. Having a washer/dryer and provided laundry detergent was a plus as we arrived by airport/rental car and didn't want to haul too much from out of state. We had one hiccup during our visit but the host was quick to respond. Would definitely recommend this house/location/host to all!!
The house worked great for our family! It was a short walk to get to downtown Bar Harbor and an easy drive to the hiking we wanted to do at Acadia National Park. There was a nice playground just around the corner, too. We would definitely stay here again!
We loved the proximity to both the park (walking and driving) and town. Also right around the corner from a playground that was top notch! Huge playing fields right around the corner as well. Safe, pleasant neighborhood with sidewalk all the way to town. Easy walk for our group of seven. We loved it here. Thank you!
Plenty of room for our family of 6! Kitchen was great for preparing breakfasts and dinners. Accommodations were just as pictured. Couldnât have asked for a better location to walk into Bar Harbor (get dinner, drinks, ice cream!!), ride a bus into Acadia, or drive to the beaches a bit further away. Shaun was very friendly and accommodating.
We bought this property because we love Bar Harbor and its quirky, outdoorsy appeal. Ledgelawn Avenue has always been a place for families. Even though Bar Harbor is so small, thousands of trick-or-treaters come to our door. On the Fourth of July, the parade stages at the ballfield and finishes on this street. This is small town America at its best. Right here.
And then there's the park. You can run out the door, turn left and in less than five minutes, you are in one of the most beautiful places in the country.
We love the front porch, the neighbors. We love the way the lilacs smell in Spring and the way the cook-outs smell in the summer. The back yard with its deck and trees just beyond the fence, make you feel secluded even though it's just a short jaunt into town.
There are lots of tiny quirks in the house like an occasional old-fashioned light fixture, double ovens, and an overall light and airy feel.
