About this property

Intown Bar Harbor Home Owned by Local Family - Acadia Entrance Around the Corner

  • Bar Harbor House sits right on the edge of downtown, making it an easy 10‑minute walk to the village for shopping, dining, and waterfront access. The Acadia National Park entrance to Cadillac Mountain is just around the corner. Guests can reach Eagle Lake, Duck Brook, and Witch Hole Carriage Road within minutes. Eagle Lake Road truly lives up to the name, just look up to spot bald eagles or peregrine falcons soaring overhead or nesting nearby. The back field is a natural crossing for deer, turkeys, and other wildlife that wander through. Just across the street is Kebo Valley Golf Course, the 8th‑oldest golf course in the United States. Driveway parking for 2–3 vehicles will help you avoid searching for downtown spots and paying meter fees. Secure storage is available for bikes, kayaks, fishing gear, golf equipment, and more. Inside, a well‑organized brochure wall offers maps, local information, and up‑to‑date island activities to help you plan each day with ease. Avoiding congested Acadia Visitor Centers will save time and frustration! My family has lived on the island for six generations, and we love sharing the history, stories, and hidden secrets of Acadia. Close enough to enjoy everything yet tucked away in a peaceful family neighborhood. Bar Harbor House comfortably hosts up to eight guests and a special place to gather, relax, and make lasting memories. Our home is more than a place to stay, it is an opportunity to experience the true Bar Harbor way of life.

Deb and her family were the most accommodating, and thoughtful hosts who opened their home and treated us like family. When we go back to Bar Harbor, we will definitely rent here again. The house was so clean, in a great location and had everything that we could possibly need and more. This was an A.house and host.

One of the best rental experiences that we've ever had. Deb was super responsive and thoughtful in all of her communication. She was in touch and available with any questions that we had. Easily the most well stocked rental we've ever been in. Recommend without reservation and we will be staying here again in the future. There were 5 of us and easily could've fit several more.

A great stay in Bar Harbor

Deb was incredibly welcoming and the house is stocked with anything that you can possibly need. It was spacious for our group of 3 families. The location can't be beat -- close enough to walk or bike into town and near the entrance to the carriage trails. We come to Bar Harbor every year and I plan to be back to Deb's house!

A week in Bar Harbor

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the home. There was plenty of room for my family of five, was in a great location, and was very clean. The host was very easy to communicate with and made our stay enjoyable. The fridge was stocked with some food for arrival, and many other items are provided as well. We hope to return and would definitely stay in this home again.

We loved our time spent at Deb and Dan's Bar Harbor home. They were amazing, gracious hosts and we could not have asked for a better place to stay. It truly felt like a home away from home and the location was perfect, so close to Bar Harbor and all that Acadia has to offer. I can't wait to book our next stay with them! Thank you so much Deb and Dan! :)

Great House, Great Host

This house was great for our vacation. It's close enough to downtown to do things there, but far enough away not to be affected by the crowds of tourists. Deb was always asking if we needed anything. The house has books of information about the island from a local's point of view. We loved our stay.

Beautiful newly built 4 bedroom home conveniently located within a mile of Bar Harbor main district. Very close to the entrance of Acadia National Park as well.

Great location made for a amazing trip!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the home. The newly constructed home was spotless and the owner provided some much hospitality! We can’t thank Deb and Dan more. The location was seconds away from Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor, which made it super convenient for a 4am wake up to see the sun rise at Cadillac Mountain or for dinner along the water.

Bar Harbor and Acadia Vacation

We enjoyed our stay and loved the convenience to both downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We stayed with 6 adults, 2 kids, and 1 infant and we all fit well! Deb and Dan were great resources and checked in to make sure we were enjoying our time. This is a very well stocked home! We cooked at home a few times and had everything we needed! Hope to come back again and would stay here again for sure.

Bar Harbor vacation with family

We stayed at The Bar Harbor House with our family of five. The home was spacious and immaculate. The attention to detail that the owner provided was amazing. Maps, magazine and pamphlets left by Deb allowed us to make decisions about where to visit and where to eat so easy. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. The bathrooms as well as the home was newly renovated. The location was so close to town and the park. We had a wonderful time!

Perfect Stay

We were very pleased with the property, new, location was close to down town. The owners have thought of everything you would want in a rental. So often, you have limited essentials and are spending time finding a store, not here. Just amazing. I’m particular about cleanliness and this was the best place I have stayed in. Most important, the owners were in contact from the beginning to the end. Very helpful and friendly! All new furnishings and soo comfortable!😀

Near Acadia National Park

Our family had a very enjoyable time visiting the Bar Harbor area. We visited Acadia NP many times during our stay, enjoyed the seafood, Farmers’ Markets, watched a sunset from Cadillac Mtn, even went to Campobello NP in Canada one day. The LuLu Lobster boat tour was especially enjoyable for our family. We were happy to have a home with air conditioning as some days were above normal temps !! Only surprise we had, was the 20 steps up stairs from garage area to living area level. Our hosts were fantastic with providing some food & condiments, plus all cooking supplies we needed !!

Bar Harbor bliss

I booked this house for the location and got so much more! We were five adults and I wanted a place where we could SAFELY bike to the carriage roads in the park. Not only was this the house for that, we could walk to town and did regularly. Our host had groceries in the fridge waiting for us! The house was clean, well appointed and very comfortable. After long days in the park, we came home and lounged - yes lounged - in the many recliners with cup holders in the living room and watched the US Open. We’ve never been so spoiled. More than five stars and would book again!

Our expectations were exceeded with meals and drinks waiting for us. Extremely clean, comfortable beds, safe neighborhood. Guitars and games provided for entertainment. Deb and Dan are exceptional hosts from booking and throughout the stay. Itineraries, best restaurants, hikes and local history are provided by the hosts. We'll be back.

This listing is an absolute gem! The location, the space, and most of all the amazing host Deb! Deb was so helpful and accommodating from the get go when we needed to shift travel dates. She was also a wealth of information about the island. A true local and gave us so many helpful tips and spots to see that I never would have known about. She even stocked the kitchen with snacks, breakfast food, and a frozen dinner. We travel a lot, and she was by far the best host we’ve encountered! The home was immaculate and had everything we could need. One thing that really stood out was how much room we had to unpack our clothes! We have rented many places where the dresser and closet space was so limited. I always like to unpack suitcases, and it was great to have so much space! The location of this home is perfect. So close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor’s downtown. A perfect location to hop back to downtown for a late night ice cream trip! We enjoyed our stay in Maine so much and this house and host were a huge part of that. Highly recommend!

Family vacation at Bar Harbor House

I can’t say enough good things about our stay at Bar Harbor House. We were booking a last minute rental and lucked out this was available for the 4 nights we needed. Deb reached out to me within minutes of booking since were were going to be arriving so soon. She provided me with helpful information and suggestions for planning our trip. She checked in with us after we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed. The house was beautifully decorated and spotless and had every amenity we could possibly need. Deb thought of everything. She left binders of information about exploring the area as well as some interesting family history. I have three kids ages, 17, 16 and 11 and they all loved our stay in Bar Harbor. We only wish we had stayed longer. We hope to come back some day and would stay here in a heartbeat.

Beautiful house

The house was perfect for our family get-together. It was a newer house and spotlessly clean. Deb left it stocked with toiletries and other supplies that I would never have thought of and haven't experienced in another rental home. We found the location convenient. It is close to downtown and the park, but it is a few blocks away from the traffic congestion. Deb and Dan are friendly and gracious hosts. They were easy to communicate with and so helpful. Being locals, of many generations, they are a wealth of information about the area. They went above and beyond for my family. Our flight was delayed two days due to the IT issue and we were arriving late in the evening. Deb and Dan left a lasagna dinner for us in addition to breakfast, snacks and condiments. It was so appreciated after a horrible travel experience. I can't say enough about the house or the amazing hosts!
