About this property

Our home is on a quiet side street, one block off Main Street. Your vacation begins the moment you pull your car into the driveway, no need to search for parking. Acadia National Park and all that Bar Harbor has to offer are within walking distance. The well equipped kitchen which opens to a large backyard, spacious dining room, and living room, equipped with 42 in flat screen T.V.,VCR/DVD, stereo, card and board games are on the first floor. Upstairs has 3 bedrooms, 2 with queen beds, one with 2 twin beds, bathroom, plus a youth room with a pack and play. In the backyard relax as you watch the children play, or enjoy a game of badminton, fire up the gas grill for a cookout and enjoy your lobster dinner in the fresh salt air. After dinner walk two block to listen to a concert in the Village Green or browse the many shops and boutiques, another two blocks to watch the sunset over the ocean before coming home to tuck in to rest up for another day of relaxation and adventure.

Acadia Escape remodeled in 2008 : We have done lots of updates to our recently purchased home. All windows and doors have been replaced with energy efficient low e glass. An energy efficient furnace was also installed this year to help with green house gases and for your comfort. The electrical system has also been completely updated to all safety codes including smoke detectors in every room for your safety. In the bathroom the tub/shower enclosure has been newly tiled. The hardwood floors in the living area and the California pine floors on the entire second floor have all been sanded and refinished. As have all the original wood doors.

2012 we have upgraded, we have put a 42 inch HDTV and new pull out couch in the living area, also new carpet in dining room and new flooring in the bathroom.

A classic New England home in the heart of town

A classic New England home in the heart of town Getting to this house – with its own parking – is so easy, and it’s in the heart of town! The shops (Bar Harbor has some great shopping!), restaurants, etc are all within easy walking distance. The house itself has a wonderful charm, enhanced by the large sunny garden to the rear. It is well set out and fully equipped – even had some blueberry jam waiting for us! There are so many things you can do from Bar Harbor: Acadia National Park (so much to offer: we particularly enjoyed the Ocean Path and the Carriage Roads); Schoodic Peninsula; Bar Island – this is a must! And all to soon we had to leave! Thank you Maryellen and Augie for allowing us to share your beautiful house in your beautiful town.

Incredible location, great place to stay

We had a great time staying at "acadia escape"! It was the perfect place to come home to after a day of hiking. My husband and I worked remotely and we both had plenty of space for our laptops and monitors. The location is SO convenient to the main streets of Bar Harbor but it's also in a quiet residential road -- the perfect combination! We couldn't be happier with our time there.

True New England charmer

We stayed a week-our second visit The owners were there to welcome us and to let us know that they or their representatives would be available for questions or problems The house is commodious and has too many thoughtful and considerate features for me to list Thoroughly clean-beyond any vacation house that we have rented. Plenty of parking, so you are able to walk everywhere in town. Hard wood floors, An excellent kitchen, gas grill, outdoor or indoor seating

Wonderful Bar Harbor Property

Acadia Escape is a beautiful older home located within walking distance of the downtown shops and restaurants. We were glad to have off-street parking available, as parking in Bar Harbor can be a challenge. Augie and Maryellen were wonderful hosts, checking in with us shortly after our arrival. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely choose Acadia Escape again in the future!
