About this house rental
This is very special house for me and my husband. 9 years ago I used to live right next door working the crazy summer hours and trying to build a better future for me.
Then I met someone special. So it happened on a date, we went for a walk, about 9 years ago, on the way to my home then, we stopped at the corner of this home, and we stayed, and we talked for hours... This is where we kissed for the first time! :)
Thus the name "The Reminisce", hopefully you folks are going to make just as great memories here as we did!
This home had originally being build in the early/mid 1900s.
The house had gone a lot of chopped renovations and changes. It just never felt complete....
We took on this great challenge saved all the solid bones from an old house and did the worst to bring it back to beauty-full gut remodel.
Just about everything is absolutely brand new or being brought to it's once new glory.
When creating the design- we were trying to achieve the charm of an old house, but still contemporary to fit the needs of a modern family.
The interior:
Entry way of the house is all Italian tiled mud room with heated floor, where you can live your clothes and shoes .
Please- be mindful do not wear shoes in the house!

Absolutely perfect stay. The house is in an amazing location for walking downtown, and for visiting Acadia. Pictures don’t do it justice; the house is even more beautiful. Highly recommend.

8 nights at this very lovely and well appointed house. All was as described in the listing. Décor is beautiful, very warm and calming. Kitchen and bathrooms all items we needed were there. The beds were very comfortable. The location was fantastic - walk to grocery stores (2!) and many restaurants and easy walk into heart of downtown. We will stay there again on our next visit to Acadia. Highly recommend

Freshly renovated and modern, this home offers a perfect convenient in-town location, including easy parking, with the all the comforts of a high end hotel. The beds and linens were amazingly comfortable and we are very appreciative that the host made this home pet friendly. Would highly recommend. (Of note, the home is on a main street so there will be some road noise especially in the front facing bedroom. On the other hand, it's around the block to a great pizza place, the supermarket, and zero difficulty in getting out of town and into the park!). Thank you for a lovely getaway.

This beautiful home is set up to accommodate several guests at once. The added touches of the holiday decorations and the lit fireplace was warm nd welcoming.

Property was clean well-maintained and had plenty of space for people. Didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub but we used the fire pit to make s’mores. had no complaints about this property and they were TVs in most of the rooms. Had some of our greatest memories made in this house!

We had our family stay here for our son's wedding. This place was perfect. Very clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this.

We’ll stocked with everything you’ll need. Beach towels for hot tub, each room has individual air/heat controls. Beds were super comfortable with great pillows. Easy check in. Very clean. Walking distance of many restaurants and bars. Easy parking. I recommend for groups. Worst thing I can say is master bedroom could use a luggage rack.
5.0
The place was incredibly clean, the beds very comfortable, the fire pit and hot tub area very inviting, check-in seamless, and communication excellent. The only thing I think the owner could consider is luggage stands in the closets, and possibly having a smaller dining table and more comfortable seating in the main “living room”. But these are only minor suggestions for the future. If you’re considering a visit to Bar Harbor and Acadia, this property will not disappoint! It’s very close to Acadia and walking distance to all the town has to offer! There is one caveat that enjoying the outdoor area with a group after 8 pm is a little difficult due to the noise concern and the town ordinance, but during the day and early evening, it is a little oasis!

This place was perfect for us since we had 9 people in our group and there was plenty of space for all of us. The location was only a 10-15 minute walk to downtown Bar Harbor and you’d walk by restaurants along the way. There was a noise curfew so we didn’t get to utilize the outdoor space at night very much. But we planned on going to bars and restaurants anyway so it didn’t hinder our stay or opinion of the place in any way! The host was easy to contact before and after our stay and was helpful.

We loved our stay at Reminisce. The owners have created a lovely sanctuary that has everything you need for a getaway in this beautiful area. So much to explore and the downtown location was perfect. The hot tub was a bonus and a big hit! Responsive and helpful owners, would love to come back!

A serene escape close to hiking trails, ocean views, and fresh seafood. Minutes from Acadia National Park for stunning landscapes. Very communicative and accommodating host.

This little ( big in space) peace of heaven in Maine was a perfect place to spend the Holidays. The house was stylish, spacious, cozy and the cleanliness was superb. The house is very close to to Arcadia National park. Also, the service was amazing! We highly recommend this place!

Beautiful home right in downtown Bar Harbor. Easy access to the park & downtown. Really enjoyed our stay.

Excellent property! We loved the location. House is in perfect shape, everything we needed. We walked everywhere except to Acadia National Park and only a 15 min drive to our hikes. Only downside is it is on a busy street with noise during the day and early morning. Otherwise a perfect rental!

We were the first people to stay at this newly-renovated home. The interior design and craftsmanship of the renovations were fabulous. Modern and super comfortable all at once. The five bedrooms are spaced in such a way as to make it feel cozy but also that everyone has their own space to retreat to. They literally thought of everything. The retractable awning, fire pit, swing, umbrella over the hot tub, umbrellas for rain, really fluffy towels, robes, heated bathroom floors, numerous games, day and night shades. I could go on and on but you can tell they put much thought and care into the property. It’s so close to everything - walking distance to two bike shops, breakfast, bakery, grocery store. Really short drive to entrance of Acadia and (I think?) not quite a mile to the town green. We truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.
