You Can't Get Closer to the Water than This!

Bar Harbor View Cottage is the perfect place for your next trip to Maine. You will be delighted when you first see the stunning panoramic views of Acadia National Park and its mountains from our deck. Make sure you get up in time for sunrise as you'll be able to see it come up over Cadillac Mountain.

You'll be able to spot wildlife without even leaving your chair. You may see eagles, seals, dolphins, deer and moose. You can even take our kayaks across the bay to see seals up close and personal. The water near the cottage is teeming with mussels too.

Kids (of all ages) love the abundance of flat rocks along the shoreline that are perfect for skipping and the custom-built ping-pong table in the garage.

The cottage features four bedrooms which sleep nine, WiFi access, panoramic views, a well-stocked kitchen, a garage, ample parking, a ping-pong table, several kayaks, a gas grill and a gorgeous deck perfect for relaxing.

The main floor has the master king suite with adjoining bathroom, a second bedroom with a queen bed, kitchen, living room, dining area, den, laundry room and second bathroom. There is also an attached garage. The second floor offers two bedrooms. One has two twin beds and the other features a queen bed plus a twin bed.

We are about 16 miles from downtown Bar Harbor.

Great Maine Getaway

We had a great time during our stay at this property. The views are amazing and it was close enough for our day trips to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. We also loved the use of the kayaks.

Had an awesome time! House was well stocked, enjoyed the mix of modern style and old cabin feel. Seals out everyday, kids had fun exploring in the rocks and tide pools and kayaking. Visited many spots in Acadia but nice to be at a very quiet place to get out of the Bar Harbor “rush.” New 3rd bathroom was a great surprise. Will be back someday!

Wonderful cottage, very clean the location was great. It was so quiet. We got to totally relax. We did not have the best weather, lots of fog but even that gave it a calming effect. Had 2 days of some sun, so got to experience it all!

A PEACE of Heaven!

Three generations of my family stayed together in this gorgeous home. Everything you could have wanted or needed they had already thought of and made available. Cooking in? They have everything you need! Cozy night by the fire? Yep, they have you covered. Spectacular views surrounded by peace and quiet. Close enough to everything, but far enough away to be relaxing!

Lovely

We had the loveliest stay! The house had everything we needed and more than plenty space for us all! The third bathroom was a surprise and would be great if you had a larger group. The house can be divided into 4 "wings" (each wing having their own private access bathroom except for one wing) if multiple family units are staying, which is such a nice asset. We stayed over a rainy/snowy weekend in April, and being so close to the ocean was such a delight, with a fire burning in the fireplace each evening. We would visit any time of the year!

Awesome view!

Beautiful location with a view of the harbor. It was cold when we were there but could enjoy the view on a clear day. If it had been warmer, we would've enjoyed using the kayaks right off the property. Home had everything we needed. If staying in the off season, check restaurants since many were closed.

Arcadia getaway

Loved being right on the water. If you love Beach combing This is the property for you. seals were just offshore during incoming tide. also found the seals hung out on the east side of the island just out in front of this property. There are 6 sea kayaks you can use. Also lifejackets are there to use. Property has big kitchen with everything you can think of. Very well stocked.. looking straight off the deck you’re basically looking at Arcadia national Park. Very short drive. We will be back.

Great location and Beautiful home

We enjoyed our stay very much , the location was perfect , close enough to Acadia and all the park has to offer and far enough away from the hustle of down town Bar Harbor. We enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the water and relaxing after a long day of hiking. I would highly recommend the property !!
