In Town and a Quick Walk to Acadia National Park

This newly renovated three-bedroom and two-bath house on Ledgelawn Avenue features a happy backyard, plenty of sleeping area, and a small office where an internationally best-selling novel was written. Really.

There's a grill outside on the deck, a second oven, a big gravel driveway and it's all in incredibly close proximity to Great Meadow Loop (for a hike), the Park Loop Road and in-town Bar Harbor. Lilacs bloom. Birds sing. And it's an incredibly happy place to enjoy Bar Harbor.

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.

Our Bar Harbor home
The instant we walked into this beautiful home, every member of my family said it felt like we were home! Best compliment ever. Shaun and Carrie have created a perfect home for a vacation in Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. It is set up exactly as they advertise and is even better than the pictures online. Every question we had and a couple of small items we needed during our stay were brought over to us as soon as they could reasonably get to us. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space in and outdoors. The covered porch was perfect for evening relaxation but the best on rainy mornings. Fully stocked kitchen that felt like a real kitchen and not a bunch of kitchen leftovers from a yard sale. Fridge and washer/dryer new and plenty of space. Plenty of towels and accommodates for 8 people as advertised. I would highly recommend this home and the excellent homeowners made our stay a great family vacation memory!

Great for families
Great house with plenty of room for a family of five. Quick communication from the owner. No street noise and a park with multiage play equipment about a block from the property. It was an easy quick walk to downtown where there was a good variety of shops and restaurants. There was a large grocery store at the edge of the downtown area and the kitchen had what we needed to make meals. It was a short drive to the Acadia park entrances. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location
My family of four (two in 70s and two in 40s) had a wonderful time. The location was most convenient with a short walk to Bar Harbor downtown and quick drive to the park. It only took 12 min to drive to Cadillac Mountain road entrance! The house was clean and very comfortable to stay in. Would definitely recommend it for families.

Family Trip to Bar Harbor & Acadia
Our family of four adults thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful seaside town of Bar Harbor and Acadia NP. This house was the perfect location - just a couple of blocks to walk to main street with all the shops & restaurants and pickups to the park. The house was clean, roomy and just as described. We enjoyed having a washer/dryer so we didn't have to bring home dirty laundry nor pack as much stuff. The backyard was nice to sit & read and relax from all the walking! Great hosts were responsive and offered up lots of tips/tricks for the area and getting into the NP. We rented Ebikes one day and had a blast, went into the park a couple of days - it was stunning. So many great restaurants - we loved Geddys, the Royal Indian, Blaze, Side Porch, and Rosalie's had great Pizza! Highly recommend this house for a wonderful stay in Bar Harbor.
