About this house rental
Located on Mt. Desert Island in the village of Hulls Cove, Twin Gables House is a perfect home base for multi-family or couple groups. Guests can share comfortable common areas with family and friends while enjoying the privacy of a bedroom with its own bath.
One half mile away is beautiful Acadia National Park with opportunities for scenic drives, birdwatching, hiking, biking, rock climbing, etc. Three miles from home is downtown Bar Harbor with its myriad of shops and restaurants as well as whale watching and kayaking tours.
The house dates back to 1890. It served as the home to the families of pastors of the Episcopalian church in the neighborhood for many years. The mid 1980's brought a damaging fire. The renovations were done with a Bed and breakfast in mind the result of which was 7 ensuite bedrooms. Some of the original wood floors were saved albeit a bit worse for wear. Floor to ceiling windows in the living room and dining room add to the charm. A sprinkling of antiques and many original paintings, many by local Maine artists, adorn the premises.
After a busy day enjoying the many area attractions, the comfort of the Twin Gables house awaits you. A comfortable porch with grill and a large backyard lend themselves to cookouts. There is air conditioning available in all the bedrooms as well as the living and dining areas for any hot days you should happen to encounter. There is also Lakewood a short drive away family friendly and perfect for a refreshing dip. Note: Lakewood is in Acadia and you need to display your park pass in your car while you park there.
From the house, at low tide, it is possible to access an expanse of rocky beach which also leads to the popular Chart Room Restaurant - open for lunch and dinner. Just a little further lies the Hulls Cove General Store plus the local post office. The Hulls Cove Visitors Center is just a bit beyond that. It is possible to leave your vehicle behind in our ample parking lot and take the free shuttle bus into Bar Harbor and around Acadia National Park from approximately June 21 until Columbus Day weekend. If you bring bikes you can leave right from the house and get to the park roads and carriage roads from the visitors center. VR124-019

We loved our stay! The individual bathrooms in each room was a real plus! The house had plenty of space to gather, and to have privacy when desired. It was clean and well stocked. The check in and out were seamless. I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend the house to others.
