Check in was a breeze and the entire house, including the kitchen layout, worked really well for our family of six. Absolutely wonderful to be able to walk into town and a quick drive to the park entrances. Fire pit in the back, lovely front porch to enjoy morning coffee. Shaun was a lovely host! We cant wait to be back!

Perfect Getaway!
We had such an amazing week at this spacious Bar Harbor home! Shaun was an excellent host- very accommodating and communicative. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was fully equipped with cookware , coffee , lunch bags, aluminum foil etc. It’s a quick 11 minute walk into town and a 3 minute drive from the supermarket. We have stayed at many places in Bar Harbor over the past 15 years and this was our favorite. :)

Bar Harbor family trip 2025
We had a fantastic summer vacation in Bar Harbor! We feel very fortunate that we found Shaun and Carrie's house and were there for the week. Our first trip to Maine was very memorable, from hikes in Acadia National Park to whale watching to the restaurants and coffee shops. Shaun and Carrie's house was so conveniently located to everything we did. When hanging around downtown Bar Harbor, it was only a short walk away so didn't need to drive. The house was comfortable and plenty of room for us 5 adults. The house had all of the accommodations that we were expecting and as listed. The blueberry pie was tasty, thank you! We would love to visit Bar Harbor again and certainly would look to stay at Shaun and Carrie's house! They were easy to communicate with and very responsive. Thanks!

We were thrilled with our stay - the house and location were absolutely wonderful! Loved the fact that we were walking distance to Bar Harbor and had a playground within a block of us. Our family used the outside grill which was very nice and a huge plus since we cooked many of our own meals. Shaun was great with his communication and responded very promptly! We would definitively recommend this house and stay there again if ever back in the area!!

Enjoyed our stay in July at this home. Note that there are window A/C units in two of the bedrooms and fans throughout the house. We had a couple of days were in the upper 70s/low 80s that made the home warm, but not too warm. Beds were comfy, kitchen and baths were clean and updated. The location is great - 10-15 min walk to downtown and grocery store, 5-7 min drive to Cadillac Mtn., easy walk to some trails in Acadia. Would have loved to stay longer!

Home away from home
We have loved our stay in Maine. The home is comfortable with so much to do near by. We could have gone to Acadia National Park everyday but the parks, shops and restaurants within walking distance were a must to explore. The owners replied to questions quickly and friendly. The pie was delicious. It was a great treat after a long trip. We would love to return.

Wonderful place!
The house was perfect for 5 adults and a quick walk to downtown Bar Harbor. Shaun was extremely accommodating when we had to modify our stay and was very responsive. House is very well equipped for cooking and spending quality time together. I would definitely return. We were also welcomed with a delicious homemade blueberry pie and were pleasantly surprised to find.an opened coffee in the cupboard as well. Would highly recommend

Plenty of space for us
We chose this property for the number of beds and short walk to town. It was perfect for our group. The kitchen was one of the most well-stocked we've ever stayed at. There was cone shaped coffee filters, coffee, sugar, sugar-substitute, salt, pepper, various seasonings/spices, plenty of pots/pans/utensils, and a kettle to heat water for tea. The bathrooms were just as well appointed with plenty of towels, handtowels, washcloths, hand soap, toilet tissue, and a hair dryer. We loved all the original artwork, provided games/puzzles, and new outdoor front porch furniture. Having a washer/dryer and provided laundry detergent was a plus as we arrived by airport/rental car and didn't want to haul too much from out of state. We had one hiccup during our visit but the host was quick to respond. Would definitely recommend this house/location/host to all!!

Fantastic location, great house!
This was our first vacation with both our little ones—a three year old and a 5 month old. This house was perfect! Right away, we were happy with the amount of space and the comfortable rooms. We made a lot of use of the fully stocked kitchen and the three year old likes playing with the toys and games. The very best part was its proximity to the Main Street of Bar Harbor and the playground that is right around the corner. We could walk to get ice cream and avoid having to fight for parking. We also spent hours at the playground in between hikes. All in all, this is a great house for a family. We really enjoyed our stay!

Awesome home base for a hiking family
We loved the proximity to both the park (walking and driving) and town. Also right around the corner from a playground that was top notch! Huge playing fields right around the corner as well. Safe, pleasant neighborhood with sidewalk all the way to town. Easy walk for our group of seven. We loved it here. Thank you!

Could have been a bit better
Stating that there was A/C was misleading. There were window units in only 2 of the 3 bedrooms and no where else. The window units were extremely loud making it difficult to sleep. The house and yard were a bit rundown and the inside could have been cleaner.

Great location for anything on the island!
Plenty of room for our family of 6! Kitchen was great for preparing breakfasts and dinners. Accommodations were just as pictured. Couldn’t have asked for a better location to walk into Bar Harbor (get dinner, drinks, ice cream!!), ride a bus into Acadia, or drive to the beaches a bit further away. Shaun was very friendly and accommodating.

Memories of Acadia
Family memories of Acadia go back to camping there in late 1950's and many times since so this was a great location to revisit those days. We were very comfortable in this home and especially appreciated the cleanliness as well as the little extras supplied like dishwasher detergent, paper products, laundry detergent. Host responded quickly to questions and requests. The location in Bar Harbor and next to Acadia couldn't have been better.

What a great home!
Our family had a great time at this home. It was close to trails at Acadia National Park and walking distance to the town.
We never had to worry about parking which was wonderful after the fireworks display.
We climbed mountains to see breathtaking views, walked trails, took a whale watching expedition… so many things to do.
Our family made memories that will never be forgotten.
I highly recommend this home.
