Rocko's Cottage Nestled in the Heart of Downtown Bar Harbor
About this house rental
Located in Acadia National Park, this attractive house for $229 per night is a great choice for your next break. 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....

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.

We had a great stay, the house was very comfortable and clean. The hosts were great and right next door if we needed anything. The location was perfect also, just a short walk to everything in Bar harbor.

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!

Excellent location, only a few minutes drive from the park and right in town, walking distance to many restaurants, shops and the water front in town.

The house was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. Close to attractions of town - walked everywhere. Entrance to shore path a couple blocks away.
Parking in front of entrance and very convenient. TV with Prime and Spectrum offered great choices for a cold, rainy afternoon.

The house is super clean, well stocked & so comfortable. The location is on a quiet side street but right next to downtown. So easy to walk to the Shore Path, to the athletic field, to all the shops, the harbor.
Definitely recommend!

Myself, my daughter, my niece and her husband stayed here last week! It’s a very nice and fully equipped house! We had plenty of room and the entire house was spotless! Everything was so clean and beautifully decorated! Great location as we could walk to town for meals, for bike rental and even our boat tour! The owners are very nice as well! I loved staying here and would definitely stay again! Exceeded my expectations!

The house was great. We stayed there 5 years ago on our honeymoon. We stayed this week for our 5th anniversary and we plan on going back in another 5 years for our 10th. Very cute and clean house. Well equipped and great location. Lisa and Rick are very nice to deal with. I can’t say enough about them.

My husband and I (and our dog, Joei) just loved our time in Rick and Lisa's cottage in Bar Harbor! It was probably one of the nicest vacation rental properties we've ever stayed at -- clean, comfortable and with so many amenities. I really loved that they supplied towels, linens and paper products. The house's location on a quiet side street was perfect; you're still in town within walking distance of so much but away from the crowds. I would recommend this property to anyone! Be sure to ask Lisa for recommendations for restaurants in town!

We loved this house last year, so we decided to return for another visit this year. The house has everything we needed, including a great location. The house has all the essentials for cooking at home or it's close enough to walk to any of the great restaurants in town. We also loved being so close to the shore path. The house is very clean and the beds and furniture are nice and comfortable. It's the perfect cozy cottage!

We just finished our 2 weeks at the house and everything was great. The house is in a perfect location for everything you want to do in Bar Harbor/ Acadia - short walk to the Shuttle, restaurants & shops. The owners, Lisa and Rick are great and are there if you need them. Definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed this property. It was exactly as advertised. It was very convenient to walk almost anywhere in Bar Harbor as well as be able to easily enjoy Acadia. The location could not have been more perfect. Thank you for your hospitality! It really felt like a “home away from home.”

Can't say enough good things about Lisa's rental and her skills as a perfect hostess. Cottage is adorable and very comfortable. Plenty of linens and all the supplies you need for the week. Will definetly rebook the cottage next time our vacation plans bring us to this pretty vacation village.

Lisa & Rick provide everything you would need for a comfortable stay in this little house. It really does look exactly like it is posted online - beautifully decorated. The furnishings are very very nice & good quality, the well-equipped kitchen is big enough to host a nice dinner, a washer & dryer are in unit, there is a little push button cast iron stove in the living room for cool evenings and two lovely bedrooms - one with a double bed & one with a king bed. This place is the absolute cleanest place we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. There are printed instructions in a notebook so you know exactly about the cottage that even includes recommendations for restaurants & activities. The cottage is in a nice quiet residential neighborhood, but it is only a few minute walk to the main street so you don't need to worry about trying to find a parking spot. Lisa & Rick (& two adorable little pups) are just about the nicest people you could ask for when renting a place in Bar Harbor. Probably the best place we have ever stayed at during our vacations. We give this place a 10+ rating.

There is absolutely nothing negative to say about Rocko's Cottage. This was our second stay. The location is absolutely perfect - if you've been to Bar Harbor in the past couple of years you KNOW how awesome it is to be able to walk in town without having to find parking! The cottage is cute and clean, bed comfy, and the kitchen was recently remodeled so it is spacious and ready for your homecooked meals. We can't wait to come back - very rarely do I feel like any place is a "home away from home," but visiting Bar Harbor and specifically Rocko's Cottage really does feel that way! Thank you Lisa and Rick!
