In Town and a Quick Walk to Acadia National Park
About this house rental
Nestled in Acadia National Park, this charming house for $491 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. 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.

Highly recommend this property. It has everything you can possibly need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Literally a walk to downtown Bar Harbor!

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.

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.

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.

This vacation was planned for 2020 and got canceled. Finally was able to get 3 generations together for trip. This was perfect place for Acadia and Bar Harbor. Great easy walk to town for shopping, eating, and other things. Gkids loved going to park for kickball and frisbee. House had everything we needed.

This was a great property. Very comfortable. Very clean. Everything we needed. Loved the laundry room. Short walk into town. Short walk to hiking trails or drive to other parts of the park.

Book now! This is a lovely, welcoming home in a perfect Bar Harbor location. Shaun & Carrie are excellent, easy to work with hosts. Spotlessly clean & very comfortable house.
We enjoyed coffee on the front porch in the morning and marshmallows around the fire pit in the evening. Between the coffee and the marshmallows, you can easily access anything you might want to do on Mt. Desert Island. Every corner of Bar Harbor is an easy walk from the house. (If you are new to this area, the ability to walk is a godsend. Parking in town during the high season is next to impossible.) You can even walk (easily!) to some of Acadia’s trails from this house. The trails that can’t be reached on foot can easily be reached via car. It’s really a special feature of this home that it gives you both such convenient Bar Harbor access and such convenient park access.
The home is well stocked with a variety of items. From coffee filters to laundry detergent to an abundance of clean, fluffy towels and a homemade pie to greet you, Shaun and Carrie go out of their way to make sure their guests are comfortable and warmly welcomed. We would gladly stay here again.
Thanks, Shaun & Carrie, for a wonderful week!

This property was perfect for our family visit to Acadia. My wife and two college aged sons were delighted by this comfortable,3 bedroom, 2 bath in-town Bar Harbor home. We enjoyed walking to lunch, dinner, the library, the bike rental shop and shopping in downtown Bar Harbor. We liked the gas grill which was easy to use. We enjoyed a fire in the back yard firepit. And of course, Acadia National Park is close by. I was able to enjoy two early morning bike rides on Acadia's Loop Road. Our family really enjoyed biking on the carriage roads

We enjoyed our first time in Bar Harbor and Acadia. The house was a well-located, clean, and comfortable home base for adventures. The hosts were easy to work with. We left Bar Harbor looking forward to the next time we can visit.

Had a great short stay that was peaceful and leisurely. Walks to town and Eden farmers' market. No crowds as we were there just before the start of the season, but still had access to all of Acadia Park and lobster pound meal. And the weather suited us perfectly. Thanks to Carrie and Shaun for hosting.

Hi,
We so enjoyed our stay. The place is as described. Charming and spacious. The location couldn't be better, and the hosts were responsive, warm and helpful.
If we ever have occasion to visit again, we will try to get this house.

A very homey and spacious house that is perfectly situated between downtown and the national park. Carrie and Shaun even provided a homemade blueberry pie! We'll stay there again.

Great stay. We walked a couple of blocks to the town. Comfortable and personal touches. Lot of travel folders and books galore. Don't miss the shortcut to the park. At the south end of the street, turn right and you're there in a few minutes.

Our family had a great stay. We were greeted with a homemade blueberry pie to start our vacation. The home was clean and had all the basics. The outside had a beautiful patio and we enjoyed family around the fire pit in the evenings.
The house is walking distance to everything in Bar Harbor- so thankful we didn’t have to deal with traffic and parking!
Home is right outside Acadia National Park which we visited daily.
Perfect home for a visit to Bar Harbor.
We had one question while we were there and host answered phone immediately! Thank you

The property was well maintained and located on a quiet residential street. It was a short walk to shops, restaurants, the grocery store, and just around the corner to the farmers market. We were able to easily bike from the house to the carriage roads as well as up Cadillac Mountain. Hiking trails were accessible about two blocks from the house so we could do some trail running without having to get in the car. When we used the car, it was a short ride to any point in the park. We did some rock climbing at Otter Cliffs and a couple of hikes with dramatic views.
The kitchen was well stocked so we chose to make large dinners there almost every night so that we could have more family time as well as avoid the crowded restaurants.
All in all, it turned out to be the perfect place for my wife and I to get together with our adult daughters.
Would definitely recommend this rental for anyone wanting to enjoy Bar Harbor and explore Acadia.

Wonderful!
Acadia National Park is awesome and this was the perfect landing spot for our family. Sean and Carrie provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. They responded promptly to any inquiries we had. The house was spotless. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed reading on the porch and making s'mores in the backyard. My granddaughter's enjoyed playing at the park which is just around the corner from the home.

We absolutely loved our rental in Bar Harbor. This is the second time we’ve been there, and the first time we met Sean - he was wonderful! We love the location, it’s quiet but not too quiet and our kids love the proximity to the athletic fields. We can walk into town and run into the park which is ideal for everyone in our family. Love this rental, and we hope that they continue to rent it for years to come! (And if not we will be first in line to purchase!)
