About this house rental
Walk to everything downtown. Access the Park in minutes. Whether you are here for the stunning views of Acadia National Park or the freshest lobster in the country, you will be in the perfect location to enjoy everything that Mount Desert Island has to offer.
Our two bedroom home is located at the end of the Shore Path in a quiet pocket neighborhood. Walk one block to Main Street and you are in the heart of downtown. Restaurants, the Village Green, and shops flank the streets. One block in the other direction, you are at the entrance to the Shore Path. Catch the morning sun sparkling on Frenchman's Bay while walking past beautiful homes and gardens. Both Grant Park and Agamont/town dock can be accessed this way. Our home is walking distance to a gated playground that will accommodate ages 2-8. Furry visitors have plenty of options from this location as well. 1.2 miles down the road is the Compass Harbor trailhead.
Hop in a car, and you can be at the Acadia National Park (ANP) entrance in minutes. You can also reach the Park on bike – we provide two Trek hybrid bikes that are perfect for riding the carriage trails. Better still, avail yourself of the free, low emissions busses, the Island Explorer, as parking will be an issue both in town and in the Park. Most busses you can catch right from the Village Green minutes from the house.
After a day of exploring ANP or a lovely meal downtown, walk back to our quiet little neighborhood. Our cozy home boasts a sunporch with a reading nook, living room, and eat in kitchen with newer appliances (including a dishwasher and garbage disposal). We reserve the house for our own use so it is fairly equipped with everything that you might need. Sleep with the windows open and enjoy the fresh Maine air. Rest assure our neighbors are the best and there is no noise.

Just got back from our annual trip and we're already looking forward to staying there again next year. We are very grateful to the owners for providing us with the opportunity to stay in their wonderful little cottage. We just love staying here because of the convenient in-town location (walk to everything), cozy space, and of course, great hosts. See you next year! Thank you!!

Cute classic cottage with lots of “character”. Depicted accurately in photos. It is old and worn and creaky but everything works perfectly and furniture is very comfortable. Possibly the best bed I’ve ever slept on in a rental property! And WOW - a full size washer and dryer! What a pleasure after all the tiny machines I’ve used at other properties. Many other reviews have mentioned the fantastic location and I echo that. I would give Snow Street five stars if it weren’t for the cramped bathroom, lack of electrical plugs, and the booth in the kitchen which was just too tight for me. A table with chairs would offer more flexibility for eating, playing games or working at computer. If you are looking for slick new construction this is not your place. If you want to experience rustic charming old school Maine then grab it! If you want the best area of Bar Harbor, this is it!It was convenient and comfortable and the hosts could not have been nicer or more responsive A wonderful, quaint, quirky, super comfortable property! Well done, Herb and Toni!!!!

This property is located in a quiet residential neighborhood just a short walk to the shore path, shops and restaurants as well as a 10 minute drive to Acadia NP. We enjoyed the amenities that were provided during our visit such as mountain bikes, games, laundry, bbq, etc. The cottage has an overall tired and worn feeling but could be very nice if some easy cosmetic fixes were done to bring out the old timey charm. The owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with when we had an issue after the first night. The place is definitely a cottage and might be a little tight for more than two people because of the small bathroom, but you'll hopefully be outdoors most of the time enjoying the local scenery!
