About this house rental
HOBO Retreat-#434334 (beautifully-decorated, well-stocked, and well-maintained weekly-rental property) – comfortably sleeps up to 8
This gorgeous, 2-story 1874 home is a perfect place to vacation, as it is strategically-located on the Island, has a large kitchen/dining area that is well-stocked, has a large yard, a wonderful back patio and also a special “picnic area” with 2 picnic tables next to the home. HOBO Retreat has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a convenient laundry room, and is well-decorated with a coastal theme throughout. We even made a special bedroom/bath with a Pirate Theme for the children! (We are child-friendly and have available 2 toddler stair gates, as well as a Pac N’Play and sturdy highchair, if needed. We apologize, but we cannot take animals, as some renters are allergic and we must respect them also.)
Our “Retreat” is located 3 miles onto Mt. Desert Island, is 4 miles to Acadia National Park entrance/Visitor Center, and is a quick 10- minute drive to reach downtown Bar Harbor (where there is shopping, eating, excursions of all kinds, Shore Path with its historic homes and plaques to provide information about the area). Our home is also readily accessible to any of the 5 Harbors located on this island, each harbor with its own “flavor” and atmosphere.
Available in HOBO Retreat, we have put together two special handouts for our guests: “Suggested Things to Do/Experience” on/off the Island, and “Recommended Eats” on/off the Island.
Please view our photographs in this listing, as they contain pictures of this property, and a variety of photos suggesting things available to experience in this beautiful area! We hope you thoroughly enjoy your time on Mt. Desert Island, as it is very special, is a place to cherish and make wonderful memories with those you enjoy and love!
(NOTE: If this rental is unavailable during your requested time frame, please check out our “HOBO Chalet-#999493”, a newly-constructed and beautiful home that also sleeps 8 comfortably. It is located toward the back of this property by the peaceful woods, insuring your privacy, and has also been loved by all who stay there!)

The Hobo retreat was clean and comfortable, and a nice place for our young families to stay. Our boys especially loved the pirate room! The yard was expansive and we had beautiful weather where we could enjoy the time outside. The only thing I would comment on as a possible negative is the proximity of the home to a very busy road, as the road noise was a bit more than I expected. This impacted us minimally, however, and the fact that we were less than 15 min to downtown Bar Harbor and the Acadia Park entrance was perfect!

Property was very clean and well stocked. The downstairs was well laid out, but the upstairs was awkward ( having to walk through a bathroom and bedroom to access each). The location was great, near downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

Great location to access the north attractions, Hull Cove entrance to the park and Bar Harbor itself. The house was perfect for the seven of us (adults) and was well maintained, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Cozy, comfy and as described. The hosts had the place well stocked and accommodated us! Yard was spacious for outdoor activities as well, and Hadley Point nearby was great for nighttime fires.

Outstanding location!Take advantage of the bus, they will stop right outside if you ask!The house is nice, large, and has a great lawn. However, it’s close to the road, and if does get a bit noisy. I’d also call out that, there are two bedrooms upstairs that, you have to go through one of the other two bedrooms to get either downstairs or into a bathroom. So, make sure you like everyone you’re staying with!
