About this house rental
Our beautifully restored 160 year-old barn is centrally located on Mt. Desert Island, approximately 15 minutes from the village of Bar Harbor and approximately 10 minutes from the entrance to Acadia National Park via an old farm road, aptly named 'The Crooked Road'.
The space
Our 160 year-old barn once served as the livery stable for Town Hill, a one-time farming community which is in the township of Bar Harbor. We've converted the stable into two beautifully appointed apartments -- there's no other place quite like this on Mt. Desert. Soaring ceilings, hand hewn beams, cozy bedrooms, new kitchen and baths, loft space for tv and reading with a comfortable daybed for an additional sleeping option, and a wonderful screened porch for morning coffee, afternoon reading, evening conversations, and a quiet meal any time of day. We call this half of the barn 'The North Barn'. New kitchen, baths, flooring, heating, air, insulation and all the amenities create the perfectly livable blending of old and new. The North Barn is a special place --cozy, comfortable, elegant and is one of the nicest home-away-from home environments on MDI.
Guest access
Our guests are welcomed to borrow our bikes, helmets, water bottles and bike rack for wonderful rides on the carriage roads in Acadia National Park. free to wash a load of clothes in our laundry room. We'll make sure you have maps and guidebooks for use while you're visiting, and steer you towards our favorite hikes, bike rides, swimming spots, tours and restaurants.
Other things to note
Because we're at the intersection of three Island roads, our location is great for exploring the Island. Acadia NP, Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor and the 'Quiet Side' of MDI are all close by. Be prepared for summer traffic! Our once-quiet farm road is now a busy thorough-fare that runs from one end of the island to the other.
An Island bus service, supported by L.L. Bean, stops just across the road and provides free service into Bar Harbor and throughout the national park.
Bangor International Airport is 45 miles away -- approximately an hour's drive. The regional airport, Hancock County/Bar Harbor, is approximately 2 miles from our house and barn.

We were so impressed by this property in every way. Great hosts who left us a lot of provisions from the jump. Clean, beautiful place and property. The location was close to Acadia and Bar Harbor with lots of maps and info on park hikes. Great store across the street with breakfast sandwiches and ice cream. Also can easily walk to Atlantic brewery for live music and fantastic bbq and cocktails. The property was gorgeous and we were treated so well. 10 out of 10!

We cannot say enough great things about Jane and Paul!!! They welcome you with open arms like family! The property is beautiful and within a few miles of Acadia national park. Jane gave us an excellent rundown of the area, where to hike , bike, eat... it made our stay easy! Thank you both for letting us stay on your property... the best VRBO we have had!!

What a great place! Owners were great to work with and have a ton of knowledge of the area, so if you aren't sure what or where to go, ask them! If we are ever back in the area will definitely stay here again!

The North End of the Barn was spotless, and well-stocked with supplies and breakfast foods. Jane and Paul are welcoming hosts, keep beautiful gardens. The barn is a short drive from all parts of Acadia. We'll be back!
