About this house rental

Ledgelawn Cottage, a nineteenth century home on Bar Harbor's historic Ledgelawn Avenue, is steps from all the attractions of downtown and a few minutes from Acadia National Park. Stroll to the village green, fine restaurants and quaint specialty shops, theaters, the Abbe Museum, Shore Path, free Island Explorer bus, tennis courts, skateboard park, playground, and Sunday farmer's market. Two park entranecs are a few minutes' drive away. The famed Kebo Valley Golf Course is less than a mile away. We comfortably accommodate up to eight guests in this welcoming spacious home, decorated with a blend of new and antique furnishings. The house offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office, and numerous indoor and outdoor spaces for gathering with friends and family.
Enter the house through the large enclosed front porch with ample seating, the perfect spot to relax and plan the day's adventures. Once inside the central entrance hall, you will see the spacious living room to the left, with comfortable seating, large HDTV, home theater speakers, and DVD player. To the right of the central hall is the reading room, well stocked with travel guides and maps, shelves of books for children and adults, and comfortable seating. Old-fashioned pocket doors lead from the reading room into the sun-filled dining room, with lots of room for family meals or playing board games from the corner china cabinet.
Across the hall from the dining room is the large, fully stocked kitchen blending antique charm with modern amenities. Every effort ha been made to ensure that guests have all they need to prepare meals for both indoor and outdoor dining. Spices and condiments, paper goods, foils and wraps, trash bags, sponges, dish and hand soap, and of course lobster pots, are all provided.
There is a powder room between the kitchen and dining room, and along a sunny hallway there is an additional shower room with a large walk-in shower. Shelves hold fluffy towels, as well as a hair dryer and soap.
Next to the shower room is the laundry room, with washer and dryer, drying rack, laundry basket and detergent, and ironing board and iron.
A t the rear of the house, a few steps lead down to the charming patio room. Surrounded by antique glass windows and featuring a brick floor, this large space has comfortable outdoor furniture for relaxing, as well as a table with wooden dining chairs and a cooling ceiling paddle fan. Just outside the back door is the gas grill, and two picnic tables are placed in the shade across the big back yard.
The second floor has four spacious comfortable bedrooms with a range of bed sizes. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed. There is a bedroom with a queen-sized bed, a room with a double brass four-poster, and a room with two twin beds. A pack-and-play and a wooden toddler bed are also provided. In addition to the bedrooms, there is a separate office with two built-in desks for visitors who want the option of working remotely. High speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the house.
A skylit full bath with shower tub, towels, hairdryer and soap completes the second floor.
Ledgelawn Cottage is a non-smoking, no pet vacation home. Dogs cannot be considered under any circumstances, regardless of breed, due to severe family allergies.

This was a great, large house that was very comfortable for the seven of us. Tip for anyone who has never stayed in Ledgelawn Ave—sleep with earplugs so you can have the windows open (you need that w no AC) so the trucks don’t wake you in the morning. Also, there a couple details that I hope the owner can look into—there was a big lobster pot, but no lobster cracker, pick or tools. There were extra pillows, but no extra pillow cases. No big impact, we got our own stuff. Lastly, the driveway ledge is a bit high so we put down pebble bags to protect our car from scraping. Other than these little details, the house is great and we enjoyed our stay immensely. Definitely recommend!

5/5. This property is in a wonderful location - walking distance from shops, restaurants & bars. Very close to Acadia also!! How cool is that? It’s a safe little area as well. The house matched the listing with plenty of space. There is no A/C; however, that is common in the area for many of the homes given the climate. There are lots of fans provided and keeping windows open cools the place down a decent amount. The host is so kind and accommodating - I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She will make your stay comfortable and stress free. We loved our stay!

We took a girls trip to Bar Harbor to celebrate our 60th birthdays. The location of this home was perfect. Quick walk to restaurants and harbor. The host is very responsive and provides a charming home with lots of character. We enjoyed our stay. Be sure to read the guest book as there are great recommendations for restaurants. 15 minute drive to Acadia National Park.

This is an old, classic home that has been tastefully and thoughtfully decorated and furnished. Our middle son had his wedding ceremony in Acadia and reception in Bar Harbor. As such we had two couples (family) and three adult sons stay at the house. Plenty of spacious rooms for gathering, eating, or 'separating' for a quiet reads. The weather was 'sketchy' so we could not use the beautiful patio or back yard, but also cute and comfortable. Kudos to the owners on a lovingly tended home.

A charming clean Victorian "cottage" located in Bar Harbor a short distance from restaurants & shops, and a very short drive to Acadia NP Loop road. Kitchen is well equipped. Four separate bedrooms as listed. Bath in upstairs main washroom. Shower adjacent to laundry room on main floor, and a separate 2 piece washroom on main floor as well- all in all charming and functions well.
