Photos and Description of the Bar Harbor vacation house rental 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, one with shower, one with jacuzzi, sleeps 3-4

This unique elevated home, with large deck overlooks a beautiful garden but is within walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor with its many restaurants etc. It is also within a few yards of Bar Harbor's Shore Path and the Bus system which accesses the entire Island and Acadia National Park, its hiking trails and carriage paths. The house is kept meticulously clean and has a jacuzzi in one bathroom and a loft bed in one of the bedrooms. A large deck area is perfect for alfresco dining or sunning. A dishwasher, gas stove, quiet refrigerator, washer and dryer make for easy vacation days. A wood burning stove creates a cozy atmosphere on a chilly Maine evening. It is bright and sunny but also a great place to catch up on some reading on a foggy day on the window seat in the loft bedroom. All linens are provided as well as a complete kitchen. Outdoor grilling is available the old fashioned way with a real charcoal grill.

Bar Harbor is a great tourist destination for the whole family with tons of hiking and biking and water activities such as swimming, boating, kayaking, touring and sailing. The presence of Acadia National Park next to Bar Harbor offers the tourist and resident the best of both worlds: nature during the day and a bustling, interesting town at night. Mount Desert Island comes alive in the summer with art shows, music festivals, parades and food fests. Each chamber of commerce on the Island will list early in the year the dates of these. They begin in June and go through October with Oktoberfest. They are a nice addition to all the other activities the Island has to offer.

Notes: The washer and dryer are in the basement area not the kitchen. The elderly would find the house very relaxing but they need to be able to negotiate the stairway. Because the house is elevated with an open deck and stairway we feel that it is best suited for older children or infants. Please inquire. WiFi is being installed for the summer of 2009. It is also widely available around town. Free at library and town green, small fee at YWCA Housekeeping is included at the end of a stay but not during. The woodstove can also be used open for viewing the fire behind a screen.

Lovely holiday home

Sue & Anthony Halesowen - UK
Review Submitted: October 25, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We spent a week here and found it was lovely holiday home, close to everything, but a nice quiet location.
Everything was within walking distance and Bar Harbour is a lovely place to visit,lots to see and do, would especially recommend Acadia National Park there is so much to see
and the free shuttle bus is great.
The house was very clean and well maintained and Gay & George were a very nice couple who respected our privacy but were on hand if needed.
Would highly recommend this property to couples and we hope to return there one day ourselves.

A Wonderful Home!

Ed and Lisa. Jacksonville, FL
Review Submitted: October 13, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
My husband and I honeymooned in Bar Harbor, and we rented this home to celebrate our 25th anniversary. This home is a hidden treasure! It is right in the heart of Bar Harbor, and all the shops. Its just a couple of miles from Acadia National Park. The house is very comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook complete meals at home, which was a great money saver! The owners, George and Gay, live right next door. They were very kind, and wonderful hosts. Gay knows the area well, and answered all our email questions before our trip. We really enjoyed ourselves on this vacation, and would definately stay here again. We both highly recommend this house for adults and older children. The second floor loft bedroom is open, and would be dangerous for young children.

A Drop of Heaven on Earth

Ken, Mart, Jim & Sam Windsor, CT
Review Submitted: September 29, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
My wife and 2 kids have come to Bar Harbor a couple times per year for the past 7 years and this was our 1st time at Raven's Nest (August 15 -22). Right away it felt like home and we were already planning next years trip back. Just off of the main street in town, we were able to park the car for most of the week and take advantage of the wonderful Island Explorer shuttle to most of our hiking destinations. Upon returning from our hikes, the kids loved picking blueberries, rasberries and wild strawberries just outside the door. Fabulous design details throughout the home, it was truly a dream home away from home.

Great Escape in a Hidden Jewel of Bar Harbor

Relaxed MA Family Hudson, MA
Review Submitted: September 23, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
My wife, son, and I had a great week of vacation up in Bar Harbor and hiking in Acadia National Park. The house was a perfect setting as we were situated right in town but would not know it stepping out from the door of the house. Everything that you could possibly need was there and the fresh blueberries from the garden made for great blueberry muffins. The jacuzzi tub in the one bedroom was a great escape after a great day of hiking and walking in town. We can't wait for our hopeful return next year!

Perfect

Hiking Family 2009 Westfield IN
Review Submitted: August 25, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
What a perfect house. My family stayed the last week of June and into July. Our two daughters,12 & 9, loved the "bunk bed". They both said they felt like they were in a tree house.
Every need was anticipated. The house was very clean, and fresh flowers were the perfect touch.
We will be back and we will be staying here again.
