Nicely remodeled house 1 block off main. Just out of the bustle of downtown. 12 minute walk to the harbor which is just perfect. Nicely equipped with dishes and pots and pans. Could include more basic spices, shampoo and coffee. I'd stay again

Our family of five had an amazing stay! The house is so clean and cozy. We are a family of five including three teenage boys. The location is perfect. On a quiet street at the end of town. Super easy to walk into town or along the shore path. Very close to Acadia entrances. Drive your car or catch the shuttle at the town green. We happened to have a perfect weather week. Blue skies and calm seas. It was a great family vacation in Bar Harbor. Would definitely stay in this wonderful house again. Thank you Jaqueline!

We head up to Maine every year for summer vacation, and we often stay in Bar Harbor. This was our favorite stay by far. The property is in a fantastic location to enjoy all that Bar Harbor has to offer - two of the best restaurants in town right at the end of the street, many more in easy walking distance, shopping an easy walk, shore path right around the corner, perfect in every way. We had a small problem with the stove, and messaged the owner - she was instantly responsive, and actually had a new stove delivered the next day. Never had that kind of responsiveness from a vacation home owner before! Our experience was 5 stars all around.

We have been coming to MDI for years and this is one of the best properties we’ve found. We had 2 adults and 4 teens ranging from 13-19. The neighborhood is perfect. We walked along the shore path every morning, and took the LLBean shuttle everywhere within the park. We got a weeklong membership at the Y and our teens went over to work out and play basketball. The house itself was just great. It is the epitome of a quaint New England home with all the modern conveniences. The backyard was a beautiful oasis. We would definitely stay again.

This was our 10th trip to Bar Harbor and first renting a house through VRBO. It could not have gone smoother. Jacqueline was very available including unlocking our door very quickly after we all thought someone else had the key! It was nice to be able to cook in the fully functional kitchen and mix up eating out with eating “at home.” Being able to walk to everything was a huge bonus. I highly recommend Oliver Cottage!

We loved our stay at Oliver Cottage. The house is charming and comfortable and had plenty of room for our party of six adults. We enjoyed sipping our coffee on the front porch in the morning and playing games under the lights in the back yard in the evening. The location is AMAZING. We walked every day into town for dinner and shopping and were so grateful to not have to worry about traffic or parking. The proximity to the Shore Path and to Acadia is great. We wouldn't hesitate to book this property again.

Fantastic Week

Fantastic Week

Our group of three adults and two small children had a wonderful stay at Oliver Cottage. The house is charming and nicely decorated. It's far enough from the center of Bar Harbor to avoid the hustle & bustle but close enough to get there quickly when you're in the mood for that. We found a nice way to balance it was to take Main St. into town and then take the Shore Path home, which gave us beautiful scenery and a break from the crowds. It’s also a perfect home base to explore Acadia and the surrounding areas. I’ve been coming to Maine since I was little and it was great to introduce it to my children, and especially to have such a cozy place to come home to at the end of the day, when we were exhausted and windblown from trekking all over the park. Jacqueline, the host, was extremely responsive to questions and requests, and helped us have a fantastic week. I would definitely recommend Oliver Cottage to anyone heading to Acadia.

Ideal location for Bar Harbor and Acadia NP access

Ideal location for Bar Harbor and Acadia NP access

The property is ideally located both for trips to Acadia and restaurants and shopping in Bar Harbor. Park the car in the driveway and all the restaurants and shops of Bar Harbor are a short stroll away. The trip to the Sieur de Monts Acadia NP entrance is a five minute drive.

Good house - is a very good location. Everything is walkable. It’s an older house, so a bit creaky.

Overall a good experience. Loved the location - close to everything. The house is older. I’d say rustic. It’s a bit creaky. The fixtures (kitchen and bathrooms) are dated. Fewer plug points - especially in the bedrooms. The owner was very responsive - only contacted her for a few random questions on the App. The dishes and glasses seem to have been replaced recently - which was a nice perk. Everything was very organized - easy to find things and everything was labeled. One thing to keep in mind - there were. Lot of spiders in the house (it must be spider season) - so be warned if that’s gonna freak you out. I would love to go back and stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Oliver Cottage. The house was spotlessly clean when we arrived, and was well-equipped with everything we needed for a great stay with 2 adults and 3 small children. The house was super convenient to be able to walk to town or drive to Acadia, and Jacqueline was very helpful and responsive both before we arrived and while we were there when questions came up. I’d highly recommend this property!

Fantastic VRBO, even better than described

Tucked away on a quiet side street only a short walk away from the hubbub of downtown Bar Harbor, this VRBO cottage is clean, quaint, and well-appointed. Coordinating with our host was seamless. A perfect home-base for sightseeing in Acadia and Mount Desert Island. Highly, highly recommend!

What a spot!

What a spot!

Unbeatable location: Only a couple minutes' walk to shops and restaurants, close to the shore path, minutes from Acadia hikes and the Carriage Trails. Yet super quiet and safe. A bit pricey but you will be happy you paid more every time you don't need to find a parking spot in Bar Harbor. House was spotless, well stocked and beautifully renovated with a great outdoor space in the back.

Great house, great location.

Great house, great location.

Loved our week in Bar Harbor! This rental was beautiful and in a great location. It was an easy walk into the town of Bar Harbor. Plenty of dining options and shopping. A weekly farmers market takes place just down the street. The Shore path was a short walk from the house , with beautiful views and easy access into town. Acadia National Park Visitor Center and entry is a short drive away. The owner, Jacqueline, is very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks so much for your hospitality and thoughtfulness, Jacqueline!
