This house was very large and easily fit our group. Everyone had their own room and there were still some left over! The kitchen was up to date and there were three dining tables so everyone could fit. Patricia was very responsive - check in and out were very easy.

Family of 10 (including 4 kids from 7-12) stayed in this house in October. Awesome house!! More than enough room for our family (countless beds and bedrooms) and kitchen was stocked with everything that we needed for our meals in. Location to Bar Harbor and Acadia was awesome - 3 minutes from Acadia visitor center and 5 minutes from downtown Bar Harbor. Would recommend this house 100 times over to any large groups looking for an awesome location in Bar Harbor.

The Farmhouse had plenty of large spaces for our family of 12 adults to gather for meals, drinks, and games, as well as smaller areas to retreat and enjoy a book or some quiet time. The seven bedrooms were very clean and comfortable. The large deck was great for morning coffee and evening drinks. The place was charming and allowed us to enjoy our trip to New England in the Fall! 🍂🍁

The house was perfect for our large group. We had a mix of kids and adults and the house provided plenty of space for us to spread out. The kids loved playing hide and seek in the many rooms. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked and having laundry was a huge plus. The location was close to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia. We would definitely stay here again!

My family of 13 had such a wonderful time. We all enjoyed games on the expansive lawn. The house was so roomy and well equipped. It is in a great location; minutes to Acadia. Trish the property owner is extremely responsive to any needs you have and genuinely wants her visitors to have an enjoyable stay. This was our second stay at Cider House and a great escape for all

This VRBO was great for our family of 14. It is a large house with plenty of bedrooms and beds for all. The kitchen is large and seemed well stocked for everything we made. The large deck is great with a gas grill, relaxing places to sit and 2 picnic tables if you want eat outside. This is an older place so with that the floors are uneven with thresholds to watch out for. My aging parents did need to watch their step a bit. Other than that, I would highly recommend this place since the location cannot be beat. The turn in to Acadia is very close and it is a short 5-6 min drive in to Bar Harbor when we went in to town. The kids loved the surrounding lawn area to play baseball or laser tag. Trish was great to communicate with and we would definitely stay here again if back in town.

The house was great for very big family. It is very rustic. Its location is very convenient to Acadia National Park entrance (Hull's Cove) and to Bar Harbor. We actually walked the three miles to Bar Harbor. It is convenient to walk down to water for early morning sunrise or late sunsets. There is a restaurant at the end of the hard surface road. The neighborhood where the house is located is very quiet. We only had an issue with the freezer which owner fixed promptly. The only other real issue was that the washer had broken before we arrived. The new one was to be installed on Wed; however, when we left on Saturday, it still had not been installed.

The house was large enough and comfortable for our crew of 13 with two families, adult children, and their significant others. The owner, Trish, was great to deal with and was quick to respond when a couple of plumbing-related issues came up. We enjoyed the large dining areas and the deck was a nice place to gather in the afternoons. Beds were comfortable and overall we had a great time. Thanks Trish!.

Very well loved house farm. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need for cooking. The oven wasn't working properly. We found a couple nails on the floors that tore our socks and the locks in the bathrooms didn’t lock. The location was great just 7 minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia. Overall great house and experience. Definitely recommended for big families.

Loved our stay at this property. Plenty of room for the whole family. The kitchen was a wonderful gathering place for cooking laughter and fun there were plenty of floor fans throughout the house however, one suggestion might be small wall units for individual rooms as a few days, it did get into the 90s and without air conditioning. It was uncomfortable, upstairs another nice addition to the knife drawer might be a knife sharpener as there were a lack of sharp knives Location of the home was perfect. Easy to get into Bar Harbor, Acadia, national Park, and other places of interest. Would stay at this property again. Great for a large family. Plenty of room for outdoor games and exploring.

We absolutely LOVED our time in Trish’s home! The house is clean, spacious and filled with history! We had a large group and we never felt on top of each other. The outside yard was perfect for easy nights and playing games! The house is incredibly stocked, one of the best we’ve seen! The house is so conveniently located to Acadia and Downtown! I can’t recommend this property enough. Thank you so much, Trish, it’s a trip we’ll never forget!

We were two families vacationing in bar harbor. The location was excellent close to Acadia which was very nice. I didn’t give a full five stars because the property didn’t have A/C and we experienced a heat wave which was rather warm. Wifi could also be improved, but not sure if that is the limitation of the location.
Otherwise a wonderful stay!

This home was well equipped with everything you need. There were plenty of beds and hot water never ran out. The property was great for the kids to play all sorts of outdoor games. Location is very close to Hull’s Cove entrance to Acadia and a very short drive to Bar Harbor. The house is historic, so it has a lot of character and plenty of room. A constructive criticism would be that there are a lit of windows with no screens and holes in some of the existing ones. The kitchen door onto the deck really needs a screen door so bugs don’t fly in. There is no air conditioning, but plenty of fans.

Easy check in. Super clean. Very large, we enjoyed all the sitting rooms. Saw deer and turkeys each morning. Great location, super quick to town, and visitors center to catch the shuttle to the park. Stocked with everything you need, plus more! We enjoyed the chart room and sweet peas (farm to table pizza place). Overall I’d be thrilled to stay again.

Our group of 10 loved Cider house as home base for exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor. We enjoyed relaxing in the evenings in the choice of sitting areas or outdoors. Trish was so quick to respond when we had a question. This home was a great choice for us.

Wonderful week at this beautiful old house in Bar Harbor. Well-equipped, clean and comfortable. We were a gang of seven. More than enough room for us to sleep in the cushy beds and cook in the big kitchen and eat in the spacious dining room and breakfast in the kitchen nook. Spent many relaxing hours chilling out on the sprawling deck while watching local wildlife wander through the backyard, notably a flock of 20-plus wild turkeys and deer feasting on apples dropped from the trees in the century-old orchard. Golfed at Kebo Valley and Northeast Harbor CC and hiked nearby trails with glorious views of Penobscot Bay and Somes Sound. We would definitely stay here again and are grateful to our host Patricia for sharing her home with us. Two thumbs up.

Our Maine Getaway
Property was big & spacious for all 15 of us. Kids were able to run around the property playing tag without any issue. Location was wonderful given its centrality to town & sites/attractions. Was able to see deers and turkeys roam pass the property and catch some star gazing at nights. Patricia was very responsive & pleasant to work with. Overall, we had a pleasant time & was sad to leave.

Spacious quiet & convenient old farmhouse
Our party of 14-16 guests (ages 16-84) had one of our most memorable vacations EVER. A large part of that was Tricia's place. It was large enough for people to have space but yet be "together". The location was perfect as we were just minutes away from one of Acadia's entrances & also, a fresh water lake and just a short drive to the action of Bar Harbor. Being a short drive away gave us the ability to maximize our time in the park during the less crowded times - we would hike or bike in the earlier AM & then go back to the house & then return to the park in the later PM for another hike . The location also allowed for more privacy. The house was spotless and Trish was very friendly and quickly responsive . She even took the time to mail back something one of our guests left behind - thank you! It should be noted that this is an old farmhouse with old farmhouse charm - so some amenities like air conditioning & modern TVs (there is one old one) are not present . I am sure most of the time the AC is not needed but our week was a bit hot - though the multiple fans did help greatly! Our family hopes to be able to return to Bar Harbor again someday and we would defintely stay at Tricia's place again!!
