This was a great, large house that was very comfortable for the seven of us. Tip for anyone who has never stayed in Ledgelawn Ave—sleep with earplugs so you can have the windows open (you need that w no AC) so the trucks don’t wake you in the morning.
Also, there a couple details that I hope the owner can look into—there was a big lobster pot, but no lobster cracker, pick or tools. There were extra pillows, but no extra pillow cases. No big impact, we got our own stuff. Lastly, the driveway ledge is a bit high so we put down pebble bags to protect our car from scraping. Other than these little details, the house is great and we enjoyed our stay immensely. Definitely recommend!

5/5. This property is in a wonderful location - walking distance from shops, restaurants & bars. Very close to Acadia also!! How cool is that? It’s a safe little area as well. The house matched the listing with plenty of space. There is no A/C; however, that is common in the area for many of the homes given the climate. There are lots of fans provided and keeping windows open cools the place down a decent amount. The host is so kind and accommodating - I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She will make your stay comfortable and stress free. We loved our stay!

We took a girls trip to Bar Harbor to celebrate our 60th birthdays. The location of this home was perfect. Quick walk to restaurants and harbor. The host is very responsive and provides a charming home with lots of character. We enjoyed our stay. Be sure to read the guest book as there are great recommendations for restaurants. 15 minute drive to Acadia National Park.

This is an old, classic home that has been tastefully and thoughtfully decorated and furnished.
Our middle son had his wedding ceremony in Acadia and reception in Bar Harbor. As such we had two couples (family) and three adult sons stay at the house. Plenty of spacious rooms for gathering, eating, or 'separating' for a quiet reads.
The weather was 'sketchy' so we could not use the beautiful patio or back yard, but also cute and comfortable.
Kudos to the owners on a lovingly tended home.

A charming clean Victorian "cottage" located in Bar Harbor a short distance from restaurants & shops, and a very short drive to Acadia NP Loop road. Kitchen is well equipped. Four separate bedrooms as listed. Bath in upstairs main washroom. Shower adjacent to laundry room on main floor, and a separate 2 piece washroom on main floor as well- all in all charming and functions well.

The house was a true old beautiful home. It made me feel like I went back in time to historical days with a modern twist. I can't wait to book it again next year.

This house was extremely clean and centrally located. It had plenty of space for our two families of four. It’s also very close to the town park which our group went to many times to play tennis and pickleball. The one quirky thing to know is that the downstairs bathroom is split into two rooms - one with a toilet and sink, and one with a shower and sink. There is a full bathroom upstairs. All in all, it was a fantastic property which suited our needs very well.

Great location in town and very well equipped and stocked house. Can't imagine a better location for access to town as well as Acadia National Park.
Owner is very responsive and the house has everything one would want for a vacation rental.

We enjoyed staying at Ledgelawn Cottage for a sibling family reunion. We had plenty of spaces for gatherings as well as comfortable rooms for sleeping. It was a warm week in Maine, but the Victorian house had great ventilation with ample big windows and fans, and every evening got cool. We even ate outside one evening at the picnic tables and bugs were not an issue. Julie was very communicative and the house has so many generous extras. The kitchen had excellent appliances, more than enough dishes, and great pots and pans. And being able to walk into town during peak season was stress-free and festive!

We had a wonderful time at our Vrbo. The house is within walking distance to town. We walked in every morning for coffee. The yard is spacious and plenty of rooms for sleeping. There were adequate accommodations for children, including a high chair and toddler, which we greatly appreciated. Our host was responsive and gracious when we had any concerns.

This was a great house with an amazing location. House was very clean and had everything we needed and more. The kitchen was fully stock and we cooked several meals here. There was even a cute little care package on the table.

We enjoyed this lovely old home. It was cool when we were there and the heat worked fine. Kitchen was great and washer and dryer worked well. Beds were very comfortable. Our only complaint was lack of bathroom space. Another bathroom upstairs would be nice - perhaps where the study is? Driveway is very small - definitely a two car maximum. Nice front porch to sit on. Close to everything and within walking distance from eveywhere we wanted to go. Great house!

We had a great time. I adored the home, and greatly appreciated the well stocked kitchen. It was a super location! We could walk everywhere we wanted to go in town and it was only minutes drive to Acadia. Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Loved the house and location. The stairs could be an issue for some, but our group of eight 60-70 year olds managed. The separate shower room was fabulous and really made 2 bathrooms feel like more. We had a problem with the heat on the first day and it was fixed within hours. Owners very responsive. Would highly recommend!

Have stayed at this property 4 times. Every time we feel like we are coming home. Comfy home with plenty of space. Location is perfect for shopping/dining in town or exploring Acadia National Park. Always a favorite pick.

Convenience was the #1 thing that we were looking for. This was an easy walk into the center of Bar Harbor and the house offered us the space that we were looking for as well as a little office where one of us had to do some work! The house checked all the boxes. It being Bar Harbor and Acadia you tend to be out most of the day but it was a nice home to return to in the evenings. Everything worked as presented and communication with the host was timely and access / check-in / departure was all simple enough

Exactly what we were looking for!
This place was great! Large house with plenty of room. We spent lots of time on the front and back porches for happy hour or morning coffee. Yard was big enough to play games with the kids. It was so close to everything that we barely needed our car. I would love to come back one day!

Perfect Location
Although our group ended up being a lot smaller than expected due to covid, we still had an amazing time at Ledgelawn. The house is very cool and has the BEST stocked kitchen I have ever seen in a rental. Everything was very comfortable and clean. The location cannot be beaten as we were walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor and minutes from Acadia. We absolutely loved it and hope to stay here again!

What a great long weekend- checked off bucket list of sunrise at Cadillac Mt. Julie was outstanding with all questions and Very prompt with responding - we loved all her recommendations- we could walk to anywhere downtown which was so convenient- the front and back porch were perfect for our morning coffee and evening night caps. Kitchen was stocked with all you needed for cooking- highly recommend and would love to come back!!! She also shipped our friends coat that he left in the closet!! Bonus stars if I could give them.

Great location, disappointing ending
We enjoyed our stay here. The location is excellent, on a more residential street, but a very easy walk to "downtown" Bar Harbor and as a starting point to drive into Acadia NP. Feels like you're visiting a relative's house. Was upset/angry/disappointed after the stay when the owner charged us for damages that we did not do without any contact or conversation prior to simply charging us. [Side note, the process to dispute a damages charge is not particularly easy either via VRBO.] Really left a sour taste in our mouths after what was previously a nice stay.

Charming property
Wonderful home within blocks of everything. Beautiful decorations made us feel like we were at our own home. Host/owner was wonderful in communication back to me in a timely manner. I would definitely stay in this home in this quaint little seaside town again.

Bar Harbor & Acadia N.P. Getaway
The Ledgelawn Cottage is an awesome location to explore MDI. Walking distance to Bar Harbor. Biking distance to Acadia N.P. carriage roads and a short drive (< 10 minutes) to the Park Loop. The cottage was cleaned and well stock with kitchen utensil and cookware. Plenty of fresh thick bath towels and bed linens. The prefect place to explore or just sit and relax.

Comfortable home in a perfect location
We loved staying here! The location cannot be beat and it's a cool, roomy old house on a prominent street. It is very clean and nicely kept and the kitchen is extremely well stocked. We had three generations there and everyone had a great time. Plenty of towels, etc. We didn't want for anything while we were there!
