Charming Historic Downtown Bar Harbor Rental – Sleeps 12 – Entire Home Featuring Two Spacious Apartments
Welcome to our unique and spacious in-town Bar Harbor retreat, perfect for large families or groups looking to stay together while enjoying the privacy of separate spaces. This special offering includes both Physician’s Loft (second floor) and Physician’s Flat (first floor), giving your party exclusive use of the entire building—6 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 living rooms, 2 office nooks, private laundry, and four off-street parking spaces, a rare find in the heart of Bar Harbor.
Originally a beloved local physician’s office, this home has been thoughtfully converted into two separate apartments while maintaining its historic character. The quirky layout reflects its past life: dining rooms in old waiting areas, bedrooms in exam rooms, and even a desk nook where the receptionist once sat. It’s a one-of-a-kind blend of nostalgia, comfort, and functionality.
The Loft (Upstairs):
This second-floor apartment features 3 bedrooms (2 with queen beds, 1 with a cozy bunk bed), 1 full bath, and an additional half bath. A charming dining booth, living room, kitchen, and office nook make it ideal for up to 4 adults and 2 children. Please note this unit has guests below, so it’s best suited for respectful, quieter gatherings.
The Flat (Downstairs):
Located on the first floor, the Flat includes 3 bedrooms (2 queens, 1 full), 1 full bathroom with tub/shower, a large living room, dining room, kitchen, and dedicated workspace. It’s perfect for a mix of families or couples and offers a comfortable spot to relax after a day in Acadia.
Each unit is stocked with books, games, Wi-Fi, TVs, and private laundry for your convenience. Whether you’re planning a family reunion, multi-family trip, or friends’ getaway, this setup offers togetherness with the option of privacy when needed.
Located on a quiet side street just steps from Bar Harbor’s vibrant downtown, you’ll be within walking distance to local bakeries, Side Street Café, Rosalie’s Pizza, Bar Island, the Criterion Theatre, Cadillac Mountain Sports, and Hannaford’s grocery store. The free Island Explorer Bus and bike-friendly roads make it easy to explore all of Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park.
House Policies:
No pets allowed (except trained service animals). Please respect quiet hours from 9:30 PM to 7:30 AM. This is a cherished neighborhood with year-round residents.
We live in town and are just a phone call away should you need anything during your stay. We love this space and its history, and we’re excited to share it with you and your loved ones!
