About this house rental
Central Bar Harbor. One block from shore path and village green.
The Stork’s Nest is so called because long ago it was the town's maternity hospital. It is attached to Arbor House (separate listing with 2 bed and one bath) yet is private and distinct. Together the houses comprise Derby Lane Cottages. Storks’s Nest has its own entrance, porch and large yard. It is steps to shopping and dining and a short walk to the free Island Explorer bus with service for all of Acadia National Park. Use this as your base to explore the beauty of the area, as well as the variety of traditional New England villages such as Northeast Harbor, Southwest Harbor, and Somesville. Take the ferry to Nova Scotia, kayak in the protected bays and estuaries, hike the mountains, bike the carriage trails, or go on a whale-watching adventure. We do all the cleaning and maintenance ourselves and live nearby year round. This house is over 150 years old and does not have AC but the proximity to the ocean typically keeps the area cool. Off street parking for two vehicles. No additional parking available. No smoking on the property.

We had an overall amazing trip. The house was big and roomy. There were plenty of beds. The kitchen had sparse items, it we were warned from prior guests so we brought what we needed and are fairly simple travelers. The location was perfect. A literal stone’s throw away from Main Street.

Cute old house. Heat and bathrooms were a little quirky. But the location is great; walking distance to all major Bar Harbor spots: the car sat idle all week! Over all a very nice stay.

The home's location was perfect. It was only a block from downtown and easy walking distance to shopping and dining.
The home's property managers communicated well and allowed us to check out two hours later, as we had a late flight. We very much appreciated their flexibility in allowing us to stay longer.
The house had everything we needed to make a few meals while there. However, the house could use some updates, and if the owners did some simple things (paint, matching curtains, etc.), it would certainly enhance its appeal.
If we return to Bar Harbor, we would consider staying here again because of the location.

Every member of our extended family found the Stork's Nest to be clean, comfortable, welcoming and well-suited for great wholesome family time. The location was right in the heart of Bar Harbor, yet quiet and secluded enough for us to relax in comfort. We found all of Bar Harbor to be a short walk from the Stork's Nest: Gift shops, ice cream stores, grocery stores, restaurants and the Harbor itself were all a stone's throw from our door. The owners were helpful when we had questions for them. The property was just as you see it on the website, so family members selected their rooms well in advance and moved right in as they arrived. How good is that?If you are on your way to Bar Harbor and have a family or group who need a good size house, give the Stork's Nest a try. We think you will like it.
