We just finished a spectacular week touring Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor and this house was a perfect home base for us and our four kids. There was plenty of space, all the beds were comfortable, there were many games and books for the kids to enjoy, the kitchen was very well stocked with all the tools and implements we needed to make family meals, and there was even a whole first aid cabinet that came in very handy. What's more, the house looks a lot newer and more recently updated than the photos suggest. The owners are EXTREMELY responsive to text messages and got us a fresh propane tank when we ran out while grill, which was very much appreciated. I am *so* glad we chose to stay here instead of in a hotel especially because our priority was to be up and out early each morning to get our hikes and outdoor adventures in, then have somewhere comfortable to have family dinner and watch movies in the evening. Two tips: 1) you *could* do the 0.6mi walk to Terramor to grab the #9 bus into town, or, you could drive to the Visitor's Center to park for the day (15-20 minutes) and take buses around the park and/or into and out of BH rather than dealing with parking in BH. 2) Bring your own beach towels if you're going to be going in the water anywhere. Either way, whenever you get back to the house for the night, it is mandatory that you take the 90-second walk next door to the Travelin' Lobster for at least blueberry pie.
