Built in the 1890's, the Libby House sits in a tree-filled, sunny neighborhood abutting the historic residential district that was once home to a colony of summer "rusticators" comprised of New York Philharmonic Orchestra luminaries.

Location! The Libby House is one of the largest rental properties in downtown Bar Harbor proper, offering 5 bedrooms (7 beds) and 3 full baths, parking for several vehicles, and sizable, verdant grounds filled with a variety of flowering trees and bushes.

The central business district, with numerous shopping, entertainment, and dining options, as well as the ocean, town beach, Shore Path, Village Green, local museums, and the main station for the complimentary Island Explorer shuttle are a (genuine) 3-5 minute walk away. Once settled in this central location, most guests find they can leave their cars parked for the duration of their stay, avoiding the traffic congestion and parking fees that are common to Bar Harbor in the summer.

Although almost everything that you will want to see or do in downtown Bar Harbor is a quick walk away, the property is well-sheltered from the noise, congestion and lights of the downtown. The house offers contemporary features and comforts while also retaining a number of historic touches such plaster walls, hard-wood floors, detailed trim, claw-foot tubs, and ornate light fixtures. The Libby House is equipped with high-speed internet WIFI, digital satellite TV, and a DVD player. A collection of board games, puzzles and several dozen books are also available to help pass the time.

The grounds are quite spacious, affording considerable room for children to play. Some of our favorite activities include taking an early morning walk on the shore path, grilling on the back deck, enjoying a cocktail around the firepit, and catching a band concert on the nearby Village Green.

During our peak season, guests have access to the entire house, except the cellar, a storage room on the 2nd floor, and the adjacent garage and barn. During our off-season, access to part of the second floor is closed (suspending the use of 1 Queen bedroom, 1 double Twin bedroom and one full bath). This section of the house is open and available but not accessible UNLESS expressly booked.

We do not wish to disturb our guests during their stay. We will not welcome you at your arrival, but we live nearby and are always available to answer questions, tend to any issues that arise, or make recommendations.

The property is very conveniently located in downtown Bar Harbor. While it was right in the middle of everything it was very private.

Our stay was amazing! The house was super cute and had so much character. We loved the giant dining room table for big meals and board games. The outdoor space was beautiful with lots of seating and grass for yard games. The location was perfect! It's in the center of downtown with easy access to shops, restaurants, grocery store and the bus into the park. The host was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to text messages. I highly recommend this property and we would definitely stay there again. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Hello, great experience staying at the Libby House. The location is perfect, can walk to several restaurants, the waterfront, and the sand bar within a few minutes. But, it's tucked away so you definitely have privacy from the business of town. The house was spacious for our two families that included four kids. They enjoyed playing the yard as well. Appreciated the laundry machines as well as grill and kitchen items. Would recommend bringing some basic kitchen items if you are able to but other than that, we appreciated having such a nice home for our vacation.

This wonderful home has plenty rooms for all our young adult kids to have their own space. One room with twin beds is large enough to easily fit a a pack & play without crowding the room at all. The living room with three couches quickly became the place to hang out and chat. We all enjoyed the lovely backyard with large deck and tables and chairs and the separate area with a beautiful fire pit. The house is great, but the best part is the location!!! Within a couple minutes, we could walk to all the restaurants and shops and the waterfront!! I don’t see how the location could be any better! We would definitely stay at this house again!
