In Town and a Quick Walk to Acadia National Park

This newly renovated three-bedroom and two-bath house on Ledgelawn Avenue features a happy backyard, plenty of sleeping area, and a small office where an internationally best-selling novel was written. Really.

There's a grill outside on the deck, a second oven, a big gravel driveway and it's all in incredibly close proximity to Great Meadow Loop (for a hike), the Park Loop Road and in-town Bar Harbor. Lilacs bloom. Birds sing. And it's an incredibly happy place to enjoy Bar Harbor.

Wonderful place!

The house was perfect for 5 adults and a quick walk to downtown Bar Harbor. Shaun was extremely accommodating when we had to modify our stay and was very responsive. House is very well equipped for cooking and spending quality time together. I would definitely return. We were also welcomed with a delicious homemade blueberry pie and were pleasantly surprised to find.an opened coffee in the cupboard as well. Would highly recommend

Plenty of space for us

We chose this property for the number of beds and short walk to town. It was perfect for our group. The kitchen was one of the most well-stocked we've ever stayed at. There was cone shaped coffee filters, coffee, sugar, sugar-substitute, salt, pepper, various seasonings/spices, plenty of pots/pans/utensils, and a kettle to heat water for tea. The bathrooms were just as well appointed with plenty of towels, handtowels, washcloths, hand soap, toilet tissue, and a hair dryer. We loved all the original artwork, provided games/puzzles, and new outdoor front porch furniture. Having a washer/dryer and provided laundry detergent was a plus as we arrived by airport/rental car and didn't want to haul too much from out of state. We had one hiccup during our visit but the host was quick to respond. Would definitely recommend this house/location/host to all!!

Great for a family

The house worked great for our family! It was a short walk to get to downtown Bar Harbor and an easy drive to the hiking we wanted to do at Acadia National Park. There was a nice playground just around the corner, too. We would definitely stay here again!

Awesome home base for a hiking family

We loved the proximity to both the park (walking and driving) and town. Also right around the corner from a playground that was top notch! Huge playing fields right around the corner as well. Safe, pleasant neighborhood with sidewalk all the way to town. Easy walk for our group of seven. We loved it here. Thank you!

Great location for anything on the island!

Plenty of room for our family of 6! Kitchen was great for preparing breakfasts and dinners. Accommodations were just as pictured. Couldn’t have asked for a better location to walk into Bar Harbor (get dinner, drinks, ice cream!!), ride a bus into Acadia, or drive to the beaches a bit further away. Shaun was very friendly and accommodating.

Great location

My family of four (two in 70s and two in 40s) had a wonderful time. The location was most convenient with a short walk to Bar Harbor downtown and quick drive to the park. It only took 12 min to drive to Cadillac Mountain road entrance! The house was clean and very comfortable to stay in. Would definitely recommend it for families.

Memories of Acadia

Family memories of Acadia go back to camping there in late 1950's and many times since so this was a great location to revisit those days. We were very comfortable in this home and especially appreciated the cleanliness as well as the little extras supplied like dishwasher detergent, paper products, laundry detergent. Host responded quickly to questions and requests. The location in Bar Harbor and next to Acadia couldn't have been better.
