Large windows let natural sunlight shine through all day, and because we are on a hill, is also great for viewing the amazing night sky in Maine!

With a 40 foot deck and patio below off the daylight basement, there's an additional 1000 sq feet to enjoy the outdoors, without even stepping foot in to the grass in the large yard

Home is located at the end of a lovely neighborhood road great for walking dogs or kids to ride bikes, conveniently right off Rte 3, approximately half way from bridge on to island and village green/downtown area of Bar Harbor. A large, spacious home situated in close proximity to all the adventures of Mount Desert Island and Acadia national park. We are around corner from Crooked Road or Norway Drive - a common cut over to get to Northeast Harbor, Southwest Harbor, Bass Harbor, Tremont, or all the other quiet and more hidden areas of MDI and Acadia (Beechcliff is one of our favorites).

High speed internet and 2 smart TVs located in living spaces and in master bedroom for your favorite subscriptions. All TVs use Roku, where you are welcome to use our basic channels (Amazon prime) or YouTubeTV.

We are environmental stewards and love renters who also believe in conserving water, leaving no trace behind, and have a ‘leave it as you found it or better’ mentality. This home has a private well and septic system where extreme constant water use has potential to overcome the natural supply. Like all private wells, they are self sustaining if you allow for water to replenish between use. You cannot flush any grease or food products down drain and should never flush anything besides tp down the toilet (even if packaging may say ‘flushable’).

Closest water - 3 miles to Hadley Point public inlet or a 5 minute car ride to Hulls Cove; Or just walk 1 mile to Hamilton Pond and Salsbury Cove or 1.5 miles to Emery Cove where MDI Biological Laboratory is located.

*** Cleaning practices in place recommended for Covid-19, with disinfectant supplies at house for renter use while at home. ***

Distance to Cadillac Mountain - about 10 miles

We really enjoyed the private location and the spacious setup — plenty of room for our large family. The living room, dining room, and porch all had enough comfortable seating for the eight of us.The host was very easy to communicate with and shared helpful tips on local activities and where to buy groceries. The house is in a great spot — just a short drive to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

Everything was as described. The host was friendly and quick to respond to messages.
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
We loved the location of the house, isolated yet very close to main roads, Bar Harbor and Acadia entrances. It is very comfortable and well stocked with everything you could possibly need even walking sticks and a knapsack that we borrowed a couple of times.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2023
This home is in a great location within short distance from the main Acadia entrance and close to Bar Harbor. The house was perfect for two families to share comfortably and was quiet and beautiful. I was not happy with the amount of constant texts and messages from the host however. When on vacation we like to take it easy and relax, not easy to do with three small children to wrangle. The host was texting me often about getting her maintenence person into the house (two days during our 1 week stay) and I felt pressured that we should leave and get out and about early and often, plus an early morning phone call and text about the garbage going out, which we had already done. Our trip would have been more enjoyable without this disruption, otherwise it was a great place to stay.
