Our stay was from May 21,2023 to May 28, 2023…Shore Path Cottage is a lovely home in a perfect location in Bar Harbor. The home is located at the end of a street so nice and quiet. Just a block away from downtown we were able to walk to restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries and souvenir shops. There is a big backyard that we were able to play yard games and just relax in the sun. The home is located right on the shore path…a walk on the shore path takes you to downtown Bar Harbor. The owners daughter Elizbeth was a pleasure to talk to and she told us about one of her favorite hiking trails…Flying Mountain Loop, which ended up being one of my favorites, beautiful scenery. She also told us about the sunrise on the shore path right in front of the house….the sunrise was spectacular! Please keep in mind that the home is historic with character and things have settled over the years😊 This was our family reunion so it was very nice that we all had bedrooms (most with private bathrooms.) The kitchen was newly renovated and for the most part well equipped. Dining table was able to fit the entire family for our meals and playing games in the evening. The home is also perfect location to Acadia…just a 10 to 30 minute drive to great hiking trails. We had a wonderful week in Bar Harbor and would recommend staying at The Shore Path Cottage.

We had a great stay. Our family really made some memories in the big house with plenty of room for us to roam. Like a home away from home, we were able to cook full meals, play games, tell stories. We put together an entire puzzle, read a full book, and took advantage of the location, which is on the shore path, and close to all the best restaurants Bar Harbor has to offer. We had a great stay, and look forward to coming back.

We celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary at the Shore Path Cottage with 14 of our extended family ranging in age from 1 year to 72. We found the house to be roomy and comfortable and well equipped for a large group. We enjoyed having dinner with all 16 of us around the large dining room table. We also loved the large kitchen space with a couch so that everyone could hang out in the morning, in the afternoon after hiking, and during meal preparation in the evening. The views of the ocean and the location on the shore path make this house really special. We did not notice any musty smell on the third floor (that had been mentioned by a previous reviewer).

Enjoyed stay. Property is quiet but close to downtown Bar Harbor.

We loved this house and hope to come back again!

Great place for the family to spread out. Third floor bedrooms were used by my older granddaughters. Second floor had a room for each of my sons and their spouses. My daughter and her husband had a room with an adjoining bedroom with two single beds for her two daughters. My wife and I had a room on second (Roberta’s). All had bathrooms. A visiting priest friend used the first floor bedroom; so plenty of room. The yard accommodated our evening fires and chats. You are right on the beach path so easy walks to harbor or daily walk/run and easy access to down town. A few of the group played chess at night. We went to Acadia Park most of the days either biking or driving and then hiking. Walked to local restaurants for dinner several nights. Ice cream for my granddaughters every night. Celebrated a birthday ( daughter in law) with a home cooked meal by my son the chef. We were close to nature with the birds and bees and squirrels. All thoroughly enjoyed!

We stayed with family and friends at the cottage, and it was absolutely wonderful. The professional kitchen is so much fun, the beds and sheets are unbelievably comfortable, the rooms are huge. Honestly the pictures don't match even half way to give the space justice. The location is just great, quiet, beautiful, and the house really felt like you were coming home. Our whole group loved it!

We had a party of 11 adults for a reunion. The benefits of the house are beyond a five star review! There was ample room so everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen was perfect for a large group with plenty of room to make meals and sit together at the large dining room table. The location was fantastic, walking distance to everything in Bar Harbor. Proximity to Acadia National Park was perfect for daily visits and hikes. The easy access to the shore path provided gorgeous early morning walks. Special shout out to Toby, the property manager. Not only was she helpful with recommendations but helped us plan two evenings of dinners cooked by her and another chef. Highly recommended by all 11 of us!

The house couldn’t have been better for our family vacation. Roberta and Peter were welcoming and attentive to our needs. The large lawn was perfect for our grandchildren to play and we had ideal access to Frenchman’s Bay and the Shore Path. A walk to the center of Bar Harbor took only a few minutes and access to Acadia National Park was great. The house was very comfortable and accommodated our family of 12 easily. The chef’s kitchen was well equipped and spacious. I would recommend this house and would enjoy coming back in the future. Thank you Roberta and Peter for a wonderful week.

The spacious kitchen has equipment for serious food prep, and the dining room table accommodated all 16 of us easily. We could sit on the veranda and look at the ocean view from a peaceful setting, then stroll into the very center of Bar Harbor in minutes. We all loved this place.

Had small family reunion here. Perfect location and the host could not have been more wonderful. There was a bit of a musty smell in the 3rd floor that bothered my relatives allergies. The kitchen has been updated but the rest of the home reflected the age of the house and in need of some TLC. Bar Harbor is beautiful and the location next to the shore path and town is perfect.

Incredible experience. The house’s sweeping lawn goes down to the shore path where one can stroll along the harbor. There is a great view of the harbor from the house. The house, which is a beautiful, historic house dating from 1880, has beautiful details and character. The kitchen is huge and well stocked. It’s the perfect place for a large group. The host was gracious and helpful. This has to be the best place to rent in Bar Harbor.
