Built in the 1890's, the Libby House sits in a tree-filled, sunny neighborhood abutting the historic residential district that was once home to a colony of summer "rusticators" comprised of New York Philharmonic Orchestra luminaries.
Location! The Libby House is one of the largest rental properties in downtown Bar Harbor proper, offering 5 bedrooms (7 beds) and 3 full baths, parking for several vehicles, and sizable, verdant grounds filled with a variety of flowering trees and bushes.
The central business district, with numerous shopping, entertainment, and dining options, as well as the ocean, town beach, Shore Path, Village Green, local museums, and the main station for the complimentary Island Explorer shuttle are a (genuine) 3-5 minute walk away. Once settled in this central location, most guests find they can leave their cars parked for the duration of their stay, avoiding the traffic congestion and parking fees that are common to Bar Harbor in the summer.
Although almost everything that you will want to see or do in downtown Bar Harbor is a quick walk away, the property is well-sheltered from the noise, congestion and lights of the downtown. The house offers contemporary features and comforts while also retaining a number of historic touches such plaster walls, hard-wood floors, detailed trim, claw-foot tubs, and ornate light fixtures. The Libby House is equipped with high-speed internet WIFI, digital satellite TV, and a DVD player. A collection of board games, puzzles and several dozen books are also available to help pass the time.
The grounds are quite spacious, affording considerable room for children to play. Some of our favorite activities include taking an early morning walk on the shore path, grilling on the back deck, enjoying a cocktail around the firepit, and catching a band concert on the nearby Village Green.
During our peak season, guests have access to the entire house, except the cellar, a storage room on the 2nd floor, and the adjacent garage and barn. During our off-season, access to part of the second floor is closed (suspending the use of 1 Queen bedroom, 1 double Twin bedroom and one full bath). This section of the house is open and available but not accessible UNLESS expressly booked.
We do not wish to disturb our guests during their stay. We will not welcome you at your arrival, but we live nearby and are always available to answer questions, tend to any issues that arise, or make recommendations.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
Overall good house. The pluses are excellent location, very quiet and serene outdoor space in the back and front of house. The minuses is that it could have been stocked just a little bit better.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
The location can’t be beat. The setting is quiet and relaxing. All of us were comfortable, but there are some areas that need attention. New mattresses would help. I appreciate the preservation of an old house, but some upgrades to the upstairs baths and kitchen sink area would make it more comfortable. Communication with Seth was great and mid week when we asked for more paper goods they were dropped off the next morning. There were six adults and four children sharing the house and paper goods went quickly. It was wonderful to have a washer and dryer, too.
