Well-Appointed Downtown BarHarbor /Walk to Everything/ Mins to Acadia


Vacation Acadia’s “ Bigben” is a 4 bedroom 2 bath home with first floor master's bedroom with an en-suite bath (tub-shower combo). DT location on a quiet dead-end street in downtown Bar Harbor. The home underwent a complete renovation in 2020. The location is perfect for walking to shops, dining and entertainment. Walkable to the town waterfront which is a hub for sightseeing, whale watching, kayak tours, etc. This is ideal for those wanting to enjoy the convenience of downtown Bar Harbor with very easy access to Acadia Natl Park.

This house has parking for 2 vehicles. It has an outdoor outlet close to the parking space.

This house is designed with comfort of our guests in mind.
There are many spaces to spread around the house.

There is a porch with two cozy swivel sofas for conversations/downtime in-between your adventures.

To the left of the house is a fenced outdoor patio with cushioned chairs providing seating for six. It has an oversized umbrella provided with solar lights providing nice ambience at night. There is an outdoor BBQ grill. The place is perfect for lounging anytime during the day or evenings.

The living room has power leather recliners (sofa, loveseat, & recliner)to enjoy the 70 inch smart tv. We offer complimentary Netflix and Disney + so you don’t miss out on your favorite shows & movies!

The dining area offers a dining table for 6 and 2 for breakfast counter dining.

The kitchen has a granite counter top, and is equipped to cook a full basic meal. We also provide a lobster pot and crackers.

The master bedroom has a 55 inch smart TV with its own master bath and washer and dryer. It has an armoire for your clothes.

The house is four seasons. It is heated with baseboard water heater in the cold months of November to early April. The outdoor patio furniture's will not be available from November to April. The grill is however available during these cold months if requested.

Highlight of location:

This is in a prime location. You cannot get any closer to the Village of Bar Harbor as well as access to Acadia.

Picture yourself waking up early in the morning to drive up to Cadillac Mountain and be one of the first to see sunrise in America-then spend the rest of your day in Sand Beach, Jordan Pond, hike Ocean path etc.

At the end of the day- you go home- leave your car in the house and walk through town, have ice cream, have a nice afternoon or sunset stroll along the waterfront or shore path and enjoy dinner at one of the restaurants in the Village- or opt for take out and enjoy your meal while at Agamont Park and enjoy the amazing views of the Waterfront.

The Hulls Cove Visitor Center of Acadia National Park is only 2.5 miles or 6 mins drive from the house. Access to Eagle Lake through the carriage roads is a mere 2-3 minutes ride.

The property has parking for 2 vehicles, depending on the vehicle size. This is a huge convenience when parking is very limited during peak tourist months and since the town had instituted parking regulations/ restrictions and parking meters

Guests with service animals are encouraged to notify the host / owner because of animal hair allergy by one of the owners / host who is closely engaged with maintaining the property.

We take pride in the cleanliness of our property and adhere to an enhanced cleaning protocol.
