We stayed at The Bar Harbor House with our family of five. The home was spacious and immaculate. The attention to detail that the owner provided was amazing. Maps, magazine and pamphlets left by Deb allowed us to make decisions about where to visit and where to eat so easy. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. The bathrooms as well as the home was newly renovated. The location was so close to town and the park. We had a wonderful time!

The house is great, clean and well stocked. Awesome location... walk into Bar Harbor, short ride into Acadia. Perfect spot for a family wanting to spend a lot of time in Acadia.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the home. There was plenty of room for my family of five, was in a great location, and was very clean. The host was very easy to communicate with and made our stay enjoyable. The fridge was stocked with some food for arrival, and many other items are provided as well. We hope to return and would definitely stay in this home again.

The house was perfect for our family get-together. It was a newer house and spotlessly clean. Deb left it stocked with toiletries and other supplies that I would never have thought of and haven't experienced in another rental home.
We found the location convenient. It is close to downtown and the park, but it is a few blocks away from the traffic congestion.
Deb and Dan are friendly and gracious hosts. They were easy to communicate with and so helpful. Being locals, of many generations, they are a wealth of information about the area. They went above and beyond for my family. Our flight was delayed two days due to the IT issue and we were arriving late in the evening. Deb and Dan left a lasagna dinner for us in addition to breakfast, snacks and condiments. It was so appreciated after a horrible travel experience.
I can't say enough about the house or the amazing hosts!

Our family had a very enjoyable time visiting the Bar Harbor area. We visited Acadia NP many times during our stay, enjoyed the seafood, Farmers’ Markets, watched a sunset from Cadillac Mtn, even went to Campobello NP in Canada one day. The LuLu Lobster boat tour was especially enjoyable for our family. We were happy to have a home with air conditioning as some days were above normal temps !! Only surprise we had, was the 20 steps up stairs from garage area to living area level. Our hosts were fantastic with providing some food & condiments, plus all cooking supplies we needed !!

This is a lovely house with a Wonderful Host. Here are our Pro's and Cons of the house. Even with the cons, we still think this is a 5 Star house.
Pro's:
* Deborah is wonderful to work with. She was very helpful with booking and offered suggestions on many things to do in the area. She checked in with us during the stay to see if we needed anything.
* House was Super Clean.
* The house was well stocked. There were many additional amenities not found in most rentals that were nice to have around, such as a First Aid Kit, dish & washing machine pods, lots of extra linens and even snacks.
* Host provided many maps and brochures about the area. We did not need to spend time waiting at the Visitor center since it was all right there.
* Parking was very easy and house was conveniently located.
* The house has window units in the all the bedrooms and living room. This was helpful on those hot days.
* Good location if you are driving into the park or to other parts of the island.
Cons: (for our family)
* The house is located on a main road into town so there was noise from the traffic. Some nights were busier than others.
* We did not think it was an easy walk to the Village Green and shopping area, but it was an easy drive. (You had to pay for parking in town)
Overall, I would definitely recommend this house if you are headed to Bar Harbor.

Amazing place with a great location. House stocked with all the little necessities that you could imagine… from spices and coffee to laundry soap and a first aid kit. House is new and very clean. The owners reached out and provided invaluable information and tips. Would definitely stay here again!!

We were very pleased with the property, new, location was close to down town. The owners have thought of everything you would want in a rental. So often, you have limited essentials and are spending time finding a store, not here. Just amazing. I’m particular about cleanliness and this was the best place I have stayed in. Most important, the owners were in contact from the beginning to the end. Very helpful and friendly! All new furnishings and soo comfortable!😀

This house was great for our vacation. It's close enough to downtown to do things there, but far enough away not to be affected by the crowds of tourists. Deb was always asking if we needed anything. The house has books of information about the island from a local's point of view. We loved our stay.

We enjoyed our stay and loved the convenience to both downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We stayed with 6 adults, 2 kids, and 1 infant and we all fit well! Deb and Dan were great resources and checked in to make sure we were enjoying our time. This is a very well stocked home! We cooked at home a few times and had everything we needed! Hope to come back again and would stay here again for sure.

Beautiful newly built 4 bedroom home conveniently located within a mile of Bar Harbor main district. Very close to the entrance of Acadia National Park as well. House was comfortably set up with plenty of linens, cooking and eating utensils and good supply of staples. Owner has maps, tourist information and restaurant guides available to use.

Where do I start as I can’t say enough good things about our stay at Bar Harbor House! When I stumbled upon this 4-bedroom fully refinished house, I thought there must be a catch! But everything was absolutely perfect - even better than the pictures! It was beautifully decorated and the beds were so comfortable! And the kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with everything we needed and more.
Deb is the most wonderful host - she is both thoughtful and gracious. Deb reached out prior to our arrival to see if we had any questions and provided very useful suggestions to help in planning for our trip. Then she followed-up after we arrived asking if we any questions about the area or concerns with the house. Deb immediately felt like family! We really enjoyed the binder of helpful information and one with the history of the area.
The house is only a mile walk from the town of Bar Harbor; saving us the hassle of trying to find parking. And it was only two miles from the entrance of Acadia National Park - truly the perfect location!
My family and I made so many memories at the Bar Harbor House and look forward to returning.
We all agree that we it was the best home we rented by leaps and bounds.
Thank you Deb and Dan for helping us make memories to last a lifetime.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the home. The newly constructed home was spotless and the owner provided some much hospitality! We can’t thank Deb and Dan more. The location was seconds away from Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor, which made it super convenient for a 4am wake up to see the sun rise at Cadillac Mountain or for dinner along the water.

I can’t say enough good things about our stay at Bar Harbor House. We were booking a last minute rental and lucked out this was available for the 4 nights we needed. Deb reached out to me within minutes of booking since were were going to be arriving so soon. She provided me with helpful information and suggestions for planning our trip. She checked in with us after we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed. The house was beautifully decorated and spotless and had every amenity we could possibly need. Deb thought of everything. She left binders of information about exploring the area as well as some interesting family history. I have three kids ages, 17, 16 and 11 and they all loved our stay in Bar Harbor. We only wish we had stayed longer. We hope to come back some day and would stay here in a heartbeat.

Deb was incredibly welcoming and the house is stocked with anything that you can possibly need. It was spacious for our group of 3 families. The location can't be beat -- close enough to walk or bike into town and near the entrance to the carriage trails.
We come to Bar Harbor every year and I plan to be back to Deb's house!

Deb our host was fantastic. Place was well stocked with everything anyone would need. If you forget anything she has it. Clean and spacious home. Deb was very helpful in directing us to out of the ordinary sights which were excellent. Recommended restaurants, sights to see, etc were all great. Walking distance to downtown which is nice because you can take the shuttle. The parking in the Park if you get there a bit late in the am can be a bit of a struggle.

This home is wonderful! The home is newly renovated, very comfortable furniture, lots of bedrooms, well appointed with all kitchen, bed, bath supplies you could ever need. Deb has thought of everything and the home is super comfortable and perfectly located to walk into town or a short drive to Arcadia. Our family of 4 had more than enough room and really enjoyed our stay. We highly recommend and would love to come back!

I don't usually write reviews but in this case I feel I must thank Deb for her generous hospitality. We arrived to find the house was not only spotless but stocked with all the essentials. We were happy to pay it forward by leaving behind some of the additional items we picked up. The location was perfect for our group's interest in both time at the park and shopping in town. Deb is a great host with plenty of insider tips for first time visitors to the area. I would definitely recommend staying here and would stay again.

This was our third time in 5 years coming to Bar Harbor. First off, the pictures do not do this property justice. Everything was meticulously placed and taken care of. Huge amounts of efforts were applied to how well everything was organized and labeled, no guessing needed. Felt like home. Very comfortable for 4 adults and 4 kids ages 11-14.
Rooms are overly spacious and comfortable. There is ample storage for kayaks, canoes, bikes, ect. in the garage that we had full access to.
You could not ask for a better location. A 15 minute walk to the center of town and a minutes' drive from two entrances to Acadia National Park.
Last but not least, the hosts Deb and Dan were the most thoughtful and kind hosts we have encountered. Left us meal prep for breakfast and dinner since we were coming late Communication was simple and often. Deb and Dan provided us with their invaluable local insight. if you book with them, they will be more than happy to share their knowledge and provide suggestions on where to go and what to do.

This was ideal for our family of 5 adults staying for a long weekend. It is a brand new and very clean house with comfortable beds and a well stocked kitchen. Host Deb took care of small details to make the rental feel like home and was accessible during our stay to answer questions.
Location was great - it was an easy walk to downtown Bar Harbor waterfront and a manageable bike ride to the carriage trails in Acadia.
We would definitely stay here again.
