About this house rental

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.

The view is great. Lots of space inside. Fully stocked kitchen. The kayaks were easy to get in the water and fun to paddle around. Everyone had a great time. 15 mins to Acadia visitors center. 10 mins to food shopping. If you like crab rolls you have to try YU take-out in Hancock.

This is a great family place! All is as advertised and commented on by other vacationers. Note the shore is as pictured. Rough and stony! We have 2 grandchildren: 8 and 11: new to kayaking! What a treat that two of the 5 kayaks available were two passenger! My complaint: the cockpits are bit small for us 6’2” 70 yr olds, so…I landed in the water attempting to exit the kayak I was in. All part of the adventure. So well equipped, boots, life jackets, paddles; all added a wonderful dimension to our stay! A small point but..it rained like crazy the morning of our departure and I was able to back our van into the garage for dry packing Wonderful quiet location, not much wave action but a gentle shore and wonderful view! If you are ok with the location, it is a wonderful place! Be ok with the location: 30-40 minutes to the prime locations in Acadia and Bar Harbor, but… away from the madding crowds and near fantastic Lobster Pound Restaurants, Try them all! Spacious, bright, well equipped, great deck and boats! Worth every penny!

The property was a perfect place for an extended family vacation to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The house was full of all the amenities we needed! The view from the back deck was breathtaking and the house felt secluded. We enjoyed use of the kayaks and even saw a bald eagle a couple of times. We enjoyed the house immensely. Thanks for a great time!

This beautiful cottage on the water was well stocked with everything. The newly added 3rd bathroom was a welcomed surprised. We took advantage of the provided kayaks to explore the Narrows and view the Harbor Seals. A great generational family vacation!

This home has an incredible view, and was a perfect fit for our family of six. The kayaks were wonderful for exploring, and the long private driveway was perfect for morning runs before our adventures in Acadia. We loved the ‘quirk factor’ of the house and appreciated how well-stocked it was! It is definitely a special spot, and one we would love to return to.

We are a group of older couples from different parts of the country who get together once or twice a year. This time oir destination was Maine and BHVC was wonderful. Multiple locations, in and out, for different activities and conversations. The deck is perfect too. The kitchen is well supplied for when we wanted to cook in. The game table was very handy for our obligatory jig saw puzzle. Having a fire on one of the cool rainy days was very nice. All this with beautiful views from inside and out. There was plenty of parking for all of our vehicles. Coincidentally, this place is great for getting around on a knee scooter since I severely fractured my ankle a couple months ago. Getting into and around the house, even out to the deck, is quite easy. A wonderful place and a wonderful stay.
