Photos and Description of the Bar Harbor vacation house rental 4 bedroom, 2 bath, sleeps 8

Built in 2004, the Fern Way home is a delightful blend of modern convenience and rustic style. Designed by a local architect to integrate with the beautiful natural setting of Mount Desert Island, at every turn the interior of Fern Way celebrates the natural world. A gently curing driveway through the woods leads to the quiet 4.5 acres that surrounds Fern Way. The attractive exterior is Adirondack style live edge siding, complimented by live cedar posts supporting an entry porch overlooking the large lawn. Entering the house, two French doors lead you into a large open floor plan allowing for ease and comfort of a large group or family gathering. Classic post and beam details including a stunning custom banister in maple and a soaring two story stonewall define the sunny living area. The large kitchen is ideal for preparing family meals with ample counter space, appliances and gadgets. A screened porch and jetted tub add to your comfort.

Nearby are several highlights of Mount Desert Island including the Beech Mt hiking area, Beech Hill organic farm stand, and the village of Somesville and Somes Harbor where you can access the free island wide shuttle bus. It’s central location allows for easy access to all areas of Mount Desert Island, including the secluded hidden treasures on the “quite side” of Acadia National Park, being only 10 min to Bar Harbor and 5 min to Southwest Harbor.

Great house and location, highly recommended

J,L,&M Cleveland, OH
Review Submitted: August 2, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Our family stayed here in June 2009, and based on our experience, would recommend for anyone looking for a great vacation home.

The property is new, very well maintained, clean, and as described. In fact, the photos do not quite do justice to our favorite features including an excellent kitchen and a screened-in porch with a quiet, serene view of the surrounding woods.

The location is convenient to access both the park and nearby activities like Long Pond and Beech Mountain.

The owners were terrific to work with and helped with many great tips and advice before and during our stay. They also provide loads of current local information, organized in a big file box with maps, brochures, menus, etc. The small library of books was handy as well - covering everything from bird watching to sea kayaking and hiking guides.

Private yet easy to get everywhere

A and G Gainsville, VA
Review Submitted: October 1, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We loved this home and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. I did a general search on the web and this property stood out.

It was private but with easy access to the water, and a place for our girls to play and run freely with out worry that we might disturb anyone. It was easy enough for us to take off and do whatever we choose for the day. A new home was a plus too!

The house was like home away from home, everything we needed was available to us which made it easy for us especially spices and oil so that I didn’t need to purchase those items.

Jen was easy to work with and friendly and knowledgeable about things to do on the island.

Again, thank you for opening up your home to us. We had a wonderful stay.
