Rocko's Cottage Nestled in the Heart of Downtown Bar Harbor

Rocko's Cottage is located on a side street in the downtown area of the beautiful island town of Bar Harbor. We are pet friendly for your well mannered four legged friends. Rocko was actually our 7 lb Dorkie. (Dachshund/Yorkie)

You will be within walking distance of over 25 restaurants ranging from fine dining to family fare. Bicycle rentals, kayaking trips, and unique shops galore are all just minutes away from your front door and yes we can tell you which of these places welcome pets. Walk the shore path or across a natural sand bar (actually a glacial deposit) to visit beautiful Bar Island. Never have to worry about parking your car or enjoying a cocktail and then driving.

Rocko's Cottage was built in 2005 and is tastefully and comfortably furnished. You will find everything that you need to enjoy your stay. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessities of life, and the linens are all in good condition. The open floor plan actually makes our cottage appear much larger inside. It must be noted that the bathroom does not have a tub but does have a nice 4 ft. shower and for your convenience there is a stackable washer and dryer. This is a great house and location for people that travel with pets or just one or two couples or a small family that want to stay in the heart of town. Once you visit us you will be sure to return again and again.

We, the owners, live locally and we are always only a phone call away if there is a problem. Welcome to our home and enjoy your stay....

Lovely, lovely, lovely. By far the best rental we have ever had the pleasure of calling home for a week. Impeccably clean, quality and comfort throughout, quiet neighborhood yet easily walkable to the center of town, hosts are welcoming and respond quickly to any questions you may have. Stop scrolling and stay here.

Perfect Short Getaway
Owners were right there to greet us as we arrived and communication was excellent. Cottage was immaculately clean. Owners thought of every little thing needed for guests better than any VRBO I've stayed at in the past. Everything in Bar Harbor was an easy walk from the cottage and we all slept like babies in comfort and silence. We had a great week, thank you

Wonderful experience!
We first visited Rocko's Cottage in 2017, and were excited to return! Lisa and Rick are responsive and gracious hosts, and the changes they have made in the cottage are wonderful enhancements. Cozy, quiet, comfortable, and convenient - walk only a few blocks and we were able both to stroll the Shore Path and to explore and dine throughout downtown Bar Harbor. A three mile drive brought us to the entrance to Acadia National Park and we enjoyed driving the Park Loop Road and getting out to see Thunder Hole (our dog Jake enjoyed this, too!) So once again we were grateful to be here - thank you, Lisa and Rick.

A perfect little spot
This house was perfect for our family of 4. The house is cute and clean and has all the basics, making a longer stay easy (cooking supplies, laundry, etc.). The location is great because you are right outside the bustle of Bar Harbor but everything is an easy walk including downtown shops and the Shore Path (which is also helpful because you never have to pay to park). Also the park is right there so it’s also a great place to access all park points. We would totally go back!
