About this apartment rental
The Art Nook is conveniently located on Cottage Street, in the heart of downtown Bar Harbor. Park your vehicle in the included, off street parking space and walk to all the downtown shops, restaurants and attractions. The grocery store is only a block away, as well as bicycle, kayak, and motor scooter rentals. Bar Island, which is part of Acadia National Park, is just a short walk down the street. Check out the tide chart, and at low tide walk on the beach to go across the sand bar, where you can hike to the top of Bar Island to see a great view of Bar Harbor. The free bus system, the Island Explorer, can be boarded from the Village Green, a short walk from the apartment. It can take you around Acadia National Park, to the top of Cadillac Mountain, to Sand Beach, and to other amazing destinations on the island. If you enjoy hitting the links, the Kebo Valley Golf Club is a short five minute drive away.
After an exciting day of exploring, return to the newly renovated, upscale second floor condo which has two bedrooms with queen beds and two full bathrooms with tub/showers. The home is nicely decorated and has beautiful artwork throughout. The modern kitchen is well equipped and has all you need to make your own meals at home. Also included is a laundry room, Wifi, Smart and Cable TV, and Smart Lock. And on those rare days when it gets hot in Bar Harbor, the apartment is completely air conditioned!

Very spacious apartment with lots of natural lighting, every room has multiple windows. The living room area has two large leather comfortable sofas and about a 70” smart TV. The kitchen is very well equipped. The bedrooms have blackout shades and the bathrooms have nice towels. You feel like you are living in a house, not an apartment. The location could not be better - easy walk to at least 20 restaurants, the harbor and the Vikkage Green where the shuttle buses take you into Acadia National Park. A reserved parking spot which is an invaluable amenity in downtown Bar Harbor. You won’t be disappointed if you stay here. Only thing I would change is the option of having soft pillows for the beds.

We had an amazing stay at this 2 bed apartment and highly recommend it to anyone looking to visit Bar Harbor or Acadia. The apartment is exactly as listed, looks even bigger in person, and is in an ideal location to walk around Bar Harbor’s waterline and Main Street, and is also only a 5 minute drive to Acadia. Couldn’t have been better.

The unit was in a great location, very clean, well-stocked and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay!

Wow! Such a fantastic stay at this loft. Perfect location in downtown Bar Harbor. 5-7 min walk to all restaurants, shops, and pier. 10-12 min drive into Acadia Nat Park.
The loft was spotless and so nice and cozy. Beds were super comfy! Each bedroom has its own attached bathroom with bath/shower. Spacious kitchen and dining area. Fast WiFi. Washer/dryer was a great perk! Host was very responsive to texts and Vrbo messages and even provided a high chair for our 9 month old! Parking space right outside the door.
10/10 would stay here again!!

Our stay at the ArtNook was outstanding! The property manager, Bobby, was also outstanding. He was always available, and communicated well, making sure we had everything needed. We stayed with friends. The apartment was well equipped, clean, modern, very comfortable, and walking distance to everything in Bell Harbor. Bobby gave us suggestions on things to do, places to go, and restaurants to dine. We did almost everything he suggested, and he nailed it on every suggestion. Everything he recommended was outstanding. We had a perfect vacation, and hope to return to the ArtNook. The only thing we could suggest to improve the apartment, and this is really minor, is that it would be nice to have a full length mirror. Thanks again, Bobby!

My family almost never repeats a vacation and usually stays at rental properties. This was our best experience yet. The property is perfectly located. Maybe a 3-4 minute walk to the center of town. The included parking spot was key as parking in bar harbor can be an adventure. Aside from location, the property was exactly as described and very spacious. It was hot and humid the week we were there and we would spend our days hiking in Acadia. Having this nice apartment to come back to at the end of a long day was fantastic. The property manager Bobby was very responsive and checked in on us. We never needed anything because the place was perfect, but I knew he was readily available for anything if we did need him. We had a fantastic vacation here.

The apartment is located on the main drag of Bar Harbor. It’s across the street from the local grocery store and within walking distance to all the great shops and restaurants. A 15 min drive to Acadia too. The town filled up in the evenings with summer tourists and it was nice not to have to battle for parking. Parking was onsite! Easy communication with the property manager. And there were no issues so just friendly check ins. Apt is fully stocked and the washing machine/ dryer was fantastic! My teen boys got pretty dirty in Acadia. Enjoyed the quaint town parade from our front windows on the 4th of July! We’ll be back! Excellent stay!
5.0
It is very clean location is perfect. Everything is walkable. The only thing i would highly suggest and it is a MUST please invest a black out draperies.
It would help for the renters to sleep a little longer also it helps cut down the noise outside.

Perfect place for family or friends to enjoy Acadia and Bar Harbor. This was our second stay and the property has been well maintained. We love the location for easy walking to everything in Bar Harbor and a short drive to enter Acadia. Love the property and Bobby is available should you need anything!

Location was phenomenal especially since the Sandbar is our favorite place.
Very large common area and many windows to enjoy the views.
Well stocked and comfortable beds.
5.0
The location is walking distance to everything fun in Bar Harbor so you can pop in and out throughout the day! The reserved parking spot is a huge bonus so you can park it, not worry about downtown Bar Harbor parking, and walk places. Really nice space to regroup and relax in the living room/dining area after a fun day of exploring.
Additional bonus was the keypad entry so our family could split up and go back and forth without having to worry about a guy.

This apartment was perfect for our first trip to Bar Harbor! The apartment was very clean, well maintained, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we needed! We found the beds comfortable and there was plenty of room for 4 adults to relax after a day at Acadia. It was right on a main street and we could walk to restaurants, shops, grocery, and bike rental. Perfect for exploring Bar Harbor. Bobby was wonderful to work with. He was responsive to my questions and checked in with us to see how we were doing. He also went above and beyond the call of duty to mail something to us that we left behind! Thank you!

Loved the property. It was clean and modern and for us, perfectly situated to restaurants and Acadia National Park. We were there 4 nights but it actually wasn’t enough time to do the park justice.Lots of nice walks around town too!

We could not have stayed at a better place. The beds were comfortable, the whole apartment was clean, and we had everything we needed. The unit was within walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go. Check in and check out was super easy. The manager was very welcoming and offered any assistance needed. We will definitely stay here again!

Great location. Very clean. Excellently stocked with basic items plus some unexpected pantry items which were helpful. The perfect place for 4 people to use as a home base for exploring Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor itself.

We had a great stay and especially loved the location right in town. We were even able to walk directly back to the apartment one morning after viewing the sunrise from Cadillac mountain. Super special memories!

This apartment is updated and very clean. The washer and dryer were a big plus. There were lots of windows to provide great light. Awesome TV to catch up on the US Open Golf tournament! The location is the very best thing about this rental. We could walk everywhere in Bar Harbor within just a few minutes. This place is located just up the street from the sandbar across to Bar Island. And the icing on the cake was the parking space that was included. The owner thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. I would highly recommend booking this apartment for your next trip to Bar Harbor.

We loved the Art Nook!! It's the best location (walking distance) to all of the restaurants, and shopes. Comes with parking. A block away to the Bar Island trail. Ten minute drive, if that, to Acadia! Condo was fully stocked - soaps to spices, non-sticking spray to neosporin, coffee & tea. Super clean & comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!!

This property is exactly like the pictures! Up to date, very clean, and spacious. Beds were comfortable and rooms had plenty of space for clothes in closets and drawers. Bathrooms were nice and so clean. The washer & dryer is an added bonus. We loved having the RESERVED PARKING SPACE as parking is at a premium in Bar Harbor! Location was convenient and an easy walk to all Bar Harbor necessities...restaurants, grocery store, shops, shore path; and ,of course ACADIA NATL PARK was an easy drive (or use the Island Explorer FREE shuttle bus)!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Bar Harbor at this delightful spot. The place was clean and had everything we could possibly need for comfort. Directions were clear, furniture (including the beds) was comfortable and the location can’t be beat! I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!

This is a beautiful and immaculate two bedroom, two bathroom property with a large, fully stocked kitchen, that opens up to a comfortable, beautiful, and spacious living room and eating area. This property has the best towels and bedding plus there is a full size front loading washer and dryer if needed. The town of Bar Harbor is right there to enjoy yet the property is located on a very quiet side street. No worries about searching for a parking spot because this property comes with a reserved spot. The entrance to Acadia National Park is just a less than 10 minute drive away. We rented bikes and rode right from the property to the carriage trails. The property manager, Bobby, is an absolute pleasure and extremely helpful. He was genuinely caring about ensuring that every aspect of our stay was wonderful and it was!

We stayed 5 nights and really enjoyed the property. The location could not have been any better. Grocery store was a block away and downtown was just a few blocks away. They offered both a regular coffee pot and Keurig machine. Bathrooms had shampoo and soap. We used washer and dryer after doing our daily hikes. Bobby was responsive when needed. Thanks for a great visit.
5.0
This was a gem in Bar Harbor! The apartment was even nicer than pictured - everything was very clean and well stocked and communication and entry was seamless! We were within minutes of walking distance to anything in the center of Bar Harbor - including the walk to Bar Island, Hannafords grocery store, and all the main shops and restaurants!
We will definitely come back on our future stays!

Our family had a great time and this served as a great home base.
Being able to walk downtown but having a parking space was really nice. We would definitely recommend this very clean and convenient home.
5.0
The check in and check out processes were great, and the host was super responsive. Apartment was very clean and spacious. The location couldn’t be beat. Right down the street from all the shops and restaurants, as well as the sand bar to Bar Island, but not right in the center of crowds. Easy access to Acadia and to the Explorer bus. Two minute walk to stock up on groceries for the week. We would definitely stay there again!
