Photos and Description of the Bar Harbor vacation cottage rental 2 bedroom, 1 bath, sleeps 4

This 2-bedroom, 1 bath charming coastal cottage is the guesthouse of a historic oceanfront estate. Originally built over 100 years ago, this house was completely rebuilt in 2008 allowing for modern comfort while still steeped in its historic location and feel. Spend your days on the lawn watching deer, walk down to a stunning crescent shaped sand beach in Acadia National Park, or stroll into town- the best of both worlds exist with quiet and convenience in this affordable summer cottage. Opening the front door you are greeted to a charming living room with hardwood floors, futon couch, and antique writing desk. Continuing through you’ll come to the kitchen with ample counter space and appliances. A separate eating area is bathed in sunlight from the French doors that lead to the outside patio, itself equipped with a picnic table and gas grill. The master bedroom has a new double bed and the second bedroom also has two new twin beds. The inside of this house is new and fresh.

The location of this house is nothing but perfect. At the end of a small private road through Acadia National Park, the Guest House is only one mile from Bar Harbor where you can access a free shuttle bus that travels around greater Mount Desert Island and through Acadia National Park. The main auto entrance to Acadia National Park is only two miles away where you can drive or bike the famous Park Loop Rd and all its attractions. The Park’s newest trail, built in 2008, allows one to literally walk from the house into the 130-mile network of hiking trails. You can also easily bike to the 45 miles of Carriage Roads or simply stroll into town for an ice cream cone. Compass Cove, a little known parcel of Acadia National Park, is just a 5 min walk to a secluded and well-protected sand beach and tide pools. This area is a wonderful place to explore with kids, or have a quiet sun-drenched beach all to your self. This cottage is ideal for couples, a small family or a romantic honeymoon.

Comfy cozy hideout

Jillfromct Southington, CT
Review Submitted: June 5, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We were so happy with our stay in the Guest House! It was perfect for my husband and I; close to Acadia and downtown, but far enough away for plenty of peace and quiet. It was also fun to explore the trail nearby! The house had everything we might need for the week, and we were able to cook most of our meals in the pretty kitchen. We'll definitely be back again!
Owner's Response: Thanks so much Jill. I'm glad to hear that you had such a great time on the trails and beach near the house and were able to really settle in and use the kitchen. It really is the perfect blend of privacy and yet so convenient to Bar Harbor. We would love to have you back and look forward to seeing you again. Jen Wales
