Clean and spacious property in the heart of Bar Harbor. Walking distance to everything in town. 2 families (4 adults, 3 kids - 6, 12, 14) were cozy. 1 bath with shower; other bath has jacuzzi tub but no shower. Kitchen well stocked with appliances and gadgets. 2 SUV’s were snug in driveway. Could’ve fit either car in garage. Driveway is shared with neighboring property - was not an issue. Overall great stay. We would book again.

My daughter and I came for a girls trip in early May and what a wonderful time we had! The Parsonage house was so beautiful and well equipped. It was spotless and the crew was very responsive to any questions we had. We could walk anywhere in town and hardly needed the car. We hiked Acadia 2 days, rented ebikes, and had amazing massages after our excursions. We also enjoyed fantastic ice cream at the end of the day. Restaurants were excellent and the shopping was plentiful. It was absolutely perfect for us and although we arrived early in the season, there were plenty of things to do and places to eat. I would definitely return and stay here.... highly recommend!

The home was a short walk to town which was perfect for us. The Parsonage was extremely clean and cozy. We will be back next year!

As kids we vacationed in the Bar Harbor area but as adults we have never been back. Our planned 2020 trip was derailed by the Pandemic but our week in October 2023 more than made up for that disappointment. The house was comfortable and cozy. The house was perfect!

We loved staying at the Parsonage!! We were very comfortable in this lovely home. Very clean and well stocked. The location was perfect for us to use the bus transportation at the Village Green. We would definitely like to rent here again.

House was clean and freshly painted. Furniture typical of NE. Several glitches with appliances, but not critical. Bath setup is less than ideal--1/2 bath down, 1 bath on 2 with the only house shower, 1 bath on 3--now shower. Use by 4 was okay; use by six would have been difficult. TV was impossible to use (Roku with essentially no free service--not even broadcast), but not important since TV room is reached only through one of the BR's. Parking is an issue--only one car can exit as others are trapped. No on street parking permitted. But walkable to just about everything downtown and about 2 miles to entry to Acadia. We'd do it again. Fair value.

The property was in a great location, walking distance to restaurants, shopping and to the downtown area. The kitchen was well equipped to eat in, play games and great for my family.

We’ve been to Bar Harbor a lot and the Parsonage has been our favorite place by far!!!! The house was a beautiful old Maine home that made you instantly feel like you were on vacation. The location couldn’t be beat - walks to town every night for dinner and shopping and just a short drive to the park during the day. The house was incredibly clean and the owners were kind and responsive. We loved this place!!
