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.

Check in was a breeze and the entire house, including the kitchen layout, worked really well for our family of six. Absolutely wonderful to be able to walk into town and a quick drive to the park entrances. Fire pit in the back, lovely front porch to enjoy morning coffee. Shaun was a lovely host! We cant wait to be back!

We were thrilled with our stay - the house and location were absolutely wonderful! Loved the fact that we were walking distance to Bar Harbor and had a playground within a block of us. Our family used the outside grill which was very nice and a huge plus since we cooked many of our own meals. Shaun was great with his communication and responded very promptly! We would definitively recommend this house and stay there again if ever back in the area!!

Perfect Getaway!

We had such an amazing week at this spacious Bar Harbor home! Shaun was an excellent host- very accommodating and communicative. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was fully equipped with cookware , coffee , lunch bags, aluminum foil etc. It’s a quick 11 minute walk into town and a 3 minute drive from the supermarket. We have stayed at many places in Bar Harbor over the past 15 years and this was our favorite. :)

Enjoyed our stay in July at this home. Note that there are window A/C units in two of the bedrooms and fans throughout the house. We had a couple of days were in the upper 70s/low 80s that made the home warm, but not too warm. Beds were comfy, kitchen and baths were clean and updated. The location is great - 10-15 min walk to downtown and grocery store, 5-7 min drive to Cadillac Mtn., easy walk to some trails in Acadia. Would have loved to stay longer!

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

Bar Harbor family trip 2025

We had a fantastic summer vacation in Bar Harbor! We feel very fortunate that we found Shaun and Carrie's house and were there for the week. Our first trip to Maine was very memorable, from hikes in Acadia National Park to whale watching to the restaurants and coffee shops. Shaun and Carrie's house was so conveniently located to everything we did. When hanging around downtown Bar Harbor, it was only a short walk away so didn't need to drive. The house was comfortable and plenty of room for us 5 adults. The house had all of the accommodations that we were expecting and as listed. The blueberry pie was tasty, thank you! We would love to visit Bar Harbor again and certainly would look to stay at Shaun and Carrie's house! They were easy to communicate with and very responsive. Thanks!
