Built in the 1890's, the Libby House sits in a tree-filled, sunny neighborhood abutting the historic residential district that was once home to a colony of summer "rusticators" comprised of New York Philharmonic Orchestra luminaries. The Libby House is one of the largest rental properties in downtown Bar Harbor proper, offering 5 bedrooms (7 beds) and 3 full baths, parking for several vehicles, and sizable, verdant grounds filled with a variety of flowering trees and bushes. The central business district, with numerous shopping, entertainment, and dining options, as well as the ocean, town beach, Shore Path, Village Green, local museums, and main station for the complimentary island shuttle are a (genuine) 3-5 minute walk away. Although almost everything that you will want to see or do in Bar Harbor is a quick walk away, the property is well-sheltered from the noise, congestion and lights of the downtown. The grounds are quite spacious, affording considerable room for children to play. Some of our favorite activities include taking an early morning walk on the shore path, enjoying a cocktail on the back porch at sunset, and catching a band concert on the nearby Village Green. The house offers contemporary features and comforts while retaining a number of historic touches such plaster walls, hard-wood floors, detailed trim, claw-foot tubs, and ornate light fixtures. Once settled in this central location, many guests leave their car parked for the duration of their stay. The Libby House is equipped with high speed internet WIFI, digital satellite, and Sirrius XM satellite radio. A collection of board games, puzzles and several dozen books are available to help pass the time. During the summer season, guests have access to the entire house, except the cellar, a storage room on the 2nd floor, and the adjacent garage and barn. The situation is the same for the rest of the year, EXCEPT that a section of the second floor is closed (temporarily suspending the use of 1 Queen bedroom, 1 double Twin bedroom and one full bath) and not available UNLESS expressly requested to be rented. We do not wish to disturb our guests during their stay. We will stop by to welcome you at your arrival and to ensure everything is to your satisfaction. We live nearby and are always available to answer questions or make recommendations.

This wonderful home has plenty rooms for all our young adult kids to have their own space. One room with twin beds is large enough to easily fit a a pack & play without crowding the room at all. The living room with three couches quickly became the place to hang out and chat. We all enjoyed the lovely backyard with large deck and tables and chairs and the separate area with a beautiful fire pit. The house is great, but the best part is the location!!! Within a couple minutes, we could walk to all the restaurants and shops and the waterfront!! I don’t see how the location could be any better! We would definitely stay at this house again!

The Libby House was a perfect base for a week in Bar Harbor with a focus on Acadia’s eastern region. It’s very quiet despite being only a block away from the main shopping area. We went to the park every day on the shuttle and didn’t need to use our car. The house has many bedrooms and everybody had enough space. The only possible complaint was that my teenagers wanted more 3-prong outlets in the upstairs bedrooms. :-)

Great get-away
It was exactly as the pictures portray it and the location could not be better for access to all that is offered in Bar Harbor. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Loved the Libby House
The Libby House provided everything we needed for our week in Bar Harbor - very convenient location to walks, stores, restaurants - plus a wonderfully quiet home and large backyard to relax in. The newly added pergola was used by us everyday! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful, quiet Christmas getaway in Bar Harbor at The Libby House. The house is hidden from the Main St by a bank, which at first didn't sound too endearing, but it is perfectly placed so one can easily walk to the shops and to the harbor and walkway, there, and, yet, still it feels very private. And it was very easy to access Acadia NP. The house was the best stocked VRBO house we have visited and every request made prior to arriving was answered. Seth even produced a live, lit, Christmas tree for our pleasure. Might just become an annual event for us!

We were in town for my sister-in-law’s wedding and we rented the house for us, our three children and my husbands parents. The house was absolutely beautiful and very cozy. The beds were all amazingly comfortable and we all slept great during our stay. We all agreed we wished we weren’t so busy with wedding festivities so that we could of enjoyed the house and large yard more together. This house is perfect for multiple generations or families to gather together and with easy walking distance of the town. We would 100% stay again on any future trips to Bar Harbor.

Really great location and comfortable house!
The property was great - even though it's located within walking distance to most of anything you'll want to do in Bar Harbor, it also has some privacy with a nice yard and outdoor space. We loved the giant dining room with a table that could seat 10. Plenty of space for our party of 7. Short drive to Acadia park. The home had everything we needed!
