About this house rental
BH RENTAL #1655-LICENSE #VR2R26-353
Maine is called "Vacationland" and you are going to LOVE it! Mt. Desert Island, home of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, is an incredibly beautiful place where people come to relax, to play and to appreciate all that nature has to offer. 'Acadia Retreat' has been created so that you and your family can stay in a wonderful and comfortable environment while you explore and experience all the beauty that surrounds you! Our charming home is beautifully maintained & lovingly appointed with great attention to detail. We have a bright, open floor plan where the living room, dining area & kitchen share one big space. The kitchen has an abundance of cabinets & counter space. The laundry area located right off the kitchen has a full-sized washer & dryer. The dining area has a handsome round oak table with matching chairs. The living room has 'comfy' sofas & an HDTV and DVD player. Great Vacation Spot!
The sunny bedrooms are located on opposite ends of the home for maximum privacy. The master bedroom with a queen-size bed has a private bath & walk-in closet. The second bedroom with twin beds has two closets & the main bath is located right outside the door. The 24 x 14 sun room is the 3rd sleeping area and has a queen sofa bed.
Both baths offer spotlessly clean tub/shower combinations. The heating system is very efficient & we also have Central Air conditioning! A ceiling fan and portable fans are available for extra comfort as well. The home has been freshly painted bright white & accented with attractive & colorful furnishings & collectibles.
Outside you can enjoy a beautiful yard with exquisite trees. You can send the kids on a treasure hunt in the surrounding woods or set up the badminton net. You can cook some lobsters or fire up the grill and have a picnic. 'Acadia Retreat' is Truly a Great Vacation Spot for Everyone!
Activities: Hadley Point Beach is a public area (3 miles) where you can launch a boat, have picnics, sunbathe, skip rocks, watch the seals & other wildlife. This is a favorite spot for the kayak rental companies to start & end their day trips-it's fun to watch them come & go--and you just might want to join them! There are several freshwater ponds/lakes on the Island where you can enjoy swimming, boating or fishing. You can even go horseback riding on the gorgeous carriage trails that wind through Acadia. You can hike, ride bikes on your own, go out on a whale-watching tour or a sunset cruise on Frenchman's Bay or participate in tons of activities that are offered by Acadia National Park! Definitely go and see the movie that is shown at the Visitor's Center which is less than 10 min away! Try to get to the Jordan Pond House for afternoon tea, popovers and homemade ice cream and of course, take a drive up Cadillac Mountain and around the Ocean Drive where you will see Sand Beach, Thunder Hole & Otter Cliffs!
There are fantastic restaurants, great shopping and even mini golf courses nearby. There is an awesome 'Art Deco' movie theater called The Criterion located in downtown Bar Harbor and two evenings a week there are band concerts on the Village Green. Several art shows are held during the summer and cruise ships come into the harbor weekly! Mt. Desert Island is Truly an Unforgettable Place with Something for Everyone!

The house was very clean and inviting. The property is absolutely fantastic. We definitely wished we remembered to bring some outdoor games.

There is so much attention to detail. There were notes on how to work heat and AC, where things were located, places to visit with a whole rack of pamphlets. Kitchen has anything you would need and everything in the house is well organized. Lorie is a very responsive and thoughtful host. I HIGHLY recommend this home. It is very family friendly. Did I mention what a wonderful host Lorie is?

The house is very clean. The exposed wood room is an add-on but is done well and makes for a good teenage room. There are two bathrooms, and the add-on room shares with the second bathroom so be aware if you have teenage women sharing the second bathroom to stage occupancy. The property is quiet, great for outdoor star gazing, and a good gravel road for morning or evening walks.

Acadia Retreat was a great place to stay for a four day getaway in Acadia / Bar Harbor. Very peaceful with wildlife in the yard - we saw deer and wild turkeys in the backyard. Very close to Acadia entrances including Cadillac Mountain, and about an hour away from Schoodic Peninsula which is about an hour’s drive but worth it! Also close to a number of very good restaurants!
