A spacious sanctuary with 10+ private acres a few miles from Acadia NP entrance
4 bedroom (2 king, 2 queen), 3 bath 2240 sq ft home sits on a hill with 10+ provate acres full of wildlife, located at the end of a quiet neighborhood of Bar Harbor. This open concept Colonial home was built in 2014 and is positioned to enjoy all day sun and fabulous sunsets, with a 40 X 12 foot deck to enjoy every moment of those views and a patio underneath in the shade.
**New 2025 lounge deck set with propane fire: seats 5 - couch, 2 swivel rocker chairs and a coffee table w/fire center!
*7 night minimum stay in peak summer months with Saturday check in/out weekly June thru September
Pricing reflects main home which features a large open kitchen, dining and living space highlighted by a two-tier island with four seats, with one bedroom and bath on 1st floor, and another 3 bedrooms, 2 baths on 2nd floor (Master bedroom *2025 new Nectar premium mattress KING bed; master bath has own double shower and jacuzzi tub). 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!
You may make a request with owner if you wish for your dog to join you (additional $150 per, see rental agreement).
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 *Custom Maine-made cornhole set (stored inside - under 1st floor bed) and outdoor games*!
Note: If you wish to invite more than 8 to join your visit, the daylight basement is another open living area with a pair if reclining love seats (seats 4), coffee table, a public table and chairs, plus has a large full bathroom and additional space (up to 4 more, for max 12). Please message owners for rates.
Please note, we do not rent basement to separate parties (only related guests may expand to include basement).
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).
There are two excellent guide books and a map of Acadia for guests. Plus some board games, books, puzzles, and some movies with DVD player. 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.

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.

Very nice well maintained house and close proximity to both the visitor center of Acadia Park and to Bar Harbor. Tree view from the deck was terrific. The addition I would recommend is to put TVs in each bedroom as only the one master bedroom had a tv.

We had a great stay at this spacious home near the mainland and a few miles to the Acadia Park entrance. The house was a wonderful hub to explore the park, the town of Bar Harbor and more distant lobster pounds. A big plus is that the house is on a large (dark at night) and quiet lot (about 13 acres). It is away from bar harbor noise and allows for bird watching and hearing nature. The house is modern, well lite, and extremely clean. The kitchen is large and well equipped allowing us to cook all breakfasts and a few evening meals... a real cost saver! The multiple ceiling fans kept the house cool. The deck is large and contains multiple comfortable chairs and an outdoor table, a gas grill, and a gas fire table. There is a washer and dryer... all allowing for a comfortable stay. A three-ring binder provides tips on the area and ads/ pamphlets. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner and enjoyed our conversation. We would staying again if coming back to the area!

Family and friends getaway
We were very pleased with this house for our getaway. We had eight adults and two children under six and the house had plenty of room and enough bathrooms for our group. Great location out from all the hustle and bustle, yet only a ten minute drive from the national park. If we have the good fortune of visiting this area again we would stay there again

Spacious park like setting great for families
The main house layout and amenities were great for our family and we enjoyed the large kitchen, deck, living room, and yard. Extra towels, beach towels, umbrellas, jackets, and head lamp and so many extra touches made it feel like a home away from home. Two of the 4 beds in the main house were very soft and sagged in the middle and that made for less than ideal sleeping for some. The lower unit that another family member rented for part of the time was very musty and would have been hard to hang out in if we had needed it for that. Given the musty smell, it was a very high price to pay in my opinion. The trip left on a bad note as the host messaged me just after we left about 2 things that had just broken as we were leaving and I had not yet had a chance to tell her as the grand baby was crying in the car and it wasn’t yet check out time. The message implied I had hid the broken items from her. The cutlery drawer that collapsed as we were leaving was likely not the first time it broke as the pressboard was stripped and we couldn’t fix it. It was very obviously broken and no effort was made to hide it. A small plastic window tab also popped off when I went to close the window upon checking out as we left them open the entire time. I found the host’s tone upsetting as I always disclose if something breaks and take responsibility. I would not have minded if she had just asked about them rather than assuming they broke earlier in the week and we were trying to hide it.

Great Location Close To Everything
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.

We had a great time staying here. The house is located a convenient short drive from the national park. It is in a quiet neighborhood which makes for a good basecamp for both hiking and visiting Bar Harbor. The house has plenty of sleeping space. The master suite has a large jacuzzi tub to relax after hiking. It rained during our stay but the deck seemed like a perfect spot to unwind after a busy day hiking.
