Our family included 7 adults. There was plenty of space for everyone in the common areas. Sometimes the kitchen got a bit crowded since that really was the smallest common area and you know how everyone likes to gather in the kitchen. But, it was a great kitchen to prepare meals in with plenty of pots, pans, bowls, etc. We loved the Wolf stove and some other higher end items in the kitchen. We also all loved the backyard with the covered table and pretty lights and had a few meals outside. Awesome grill too! The management company (Knowles) was fantastic when we had an issue with ants in the master bathroom. We also contacted them about two of the beds that probably need replacement--too hard and saggy. Knowles was extremely responsive and within a few hours took care of the ant issue and provided a couple of bed toppers that helped the bed issue quite a bit. The house is on a very quiet street and there was no noise from the adjacent hospital. The garden around the house was lovely and made it such a pleasure to come back after a long day of hiking. A great house with a very interesting history...a wonderful place for making wonderful memories.

Our second time renting this home for our extended family vacation in Bar Harbor. It was just perfect as we all had remembered. Plenty of comfortable beds and space for everyone - teens to grandparents. Kitchen is well outfitted and there is always more than enough bedding and towels. Enjoyed daily games on the front lawn and happy hour on the front porch. Excellent location. Sweet memories in this house!

We stayed a week here for family vacation. Mom, Dad , 3 kids, 2 in laws and a grandchild. The house set up was perfect for us. It is an old home so we did have a couple of problems. The back living area had some big black ants. Also, the sewage backed up and there was an unpleasant smell. The care taker implied we flushed objectionable items but we feel 100% certain we did not. That being said we would stay here again.

This property is great with plenty of room for a large group including a large lawn we took advantage of for family games. The location was great (and would have been even better if the shore path was open) with easy access to the park and walkable to restaurants, etc. The only thing our adult children said they’d change is the length of time we were there so on our return, we’d plan to stay longer:)

Just a perfect house for our family of 10 adults and 4 kids. Extremely well equipped kitchen, towels, you name it. Location couldn’t have been better - walk anywhere in downtown Bar Harbor and close to the shore path. We had a great stay - great front porch for sitting around and rehashing the day’s events. Highly recommend and we would stay again.

Perfect location

Our family (10 people from three states) spent a week here and found this property wonderful. There were plenty of bedrooms, great living space (including a large family room which the children took over), a large yard and parking for three cars. The location is nice, a few blocks from downtown Bar Harbor. After a rainy summer in Bar Harbor, the weather turned dry so we made use of the big porch and yard. Great week!

Can’t say enough good things about this amazing house. Our family had such a wonderful week here, with plenty of room for everyone. Location is fantastic. The house is so comfortable and welcoming and we especially enjoyed the outdoor spaces. Cannot wait to return! Many special memories were made during our week in Maine and this home was a perfect backdrop.
