Photos and Description of the Bar Harbor vacation house rental
4 bedroom (2 queens, 1 double, 2 twins), 3 bath, Occupancy 8

Beechwood is a charming 4-bed/3-bath home nestled on over two acres overlooking Denning Brook. The Denning Brook area is a feeding and nesting ground for many native animals and birds. Beaver and deer are frequent visitors as well as bald eagles, osprey, great blue herons, woodpeckers and hundreds of songbirds.

Upon entering the home, you are greeted by an open floor plan with a vaulted hardwood ceiling. Twin French doors immediately draw you toward the large deck overlooking Denning Brook and it’s abundant wildlife. The dining area and living room, with skylights, create a comfortable space for the whole family to gather. Attached is a fully equipped kitchen with breakfast table.

The downstairs master suite with a queen bed has a private bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub. A second downstairs bedroom features a double bed and full bath along with a washer/dryer. Upstairs, a second “master” bedroom with queen bed, a bedroom with two twin beds, and a full bath round out the floor plan. A delightful deck overflowing with flowers, a new gas grill and outside seating is the perfect location to watch birds as the sun sets over Denning Brook. The large private lawn is perfect for lawn games or reading.

Located in the heart of Mount Desert Island, Beechwood is no more than 10 min from all the attractions Acadia National Park has to offer including the secluded hidden treasures on the “quiet side” of Acadia National Park. From Bar Harbor and the breathtaking Park Loop Rd to Bass Harbor and its famous lighthouse, you’ll spend more time exploring the wonders of this lovely island and less time getting there. Within just two miles of the house are three wonderful swimming and boating lakes, several spectacular hiking trails, beautiful Somes Harbor, and just up the road, Beech Hill Farm, the only organic farm stand on the island. The free island-wide shuttle bus can be picked up directly from this home allowing for a car-free vacation.

Golf: Three golf courses located near by including the famous Northeast Harbor Club and Kebo Valley Golf Club. Bar Harbor Club is just off the island.

Beechwood stay was excellent

5 of 5
Submitted: September 27, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
Our party of eight adults had a good time at Beechwood and appreciated the manager's availability and responsiveness. Everyone was quite happy with the house, and the parking area was very good. The bedrooms were comfortable, the master bedroom being especially nice in spite of the pocket door separation from the great room having a small gap where the door halves meet. The deck was wonderful. Between the deck and the large amount of glass in the wall, we had excellent views of the meadow. It was wonderful to spend the week with no ground floor views of other houses. The upstairs rooms did have traffic noise from SH 102 when windows were open. The kitchen is well equipped, with ample supplies of cutlery and dishes. Our boats were safe on the back lawn, and our bikes were safe in the garage. I would definitely stay at Beechwood again. Thanks, Jen!

relaxing and comfortable

Eight of our walking Women Outdoors group shared Beechwood for a VERY enjoyable week, happy to arrive to find air conditioning! The description was accurate, and everything we needed was there - lots of kitchen equipment and plates, plenty of towels, blankets and pillows, even shampoo and conditioner in each bathroom. The house is quiet, yet quite easily accessible to all the Acadia attractions. The deck was a popular gathering place mornings and evenings, with its vista of field and wildflowers. We found no shortage of books, games, maps and guidebooks for our week, and Jen visited to make sure we had what we needed. Another true benefit: free phone service! We all enjoyed visiting the Granite Museum just up the road.
I would recommend Beechwood for any family or group.

Great house for spending time on Mount Desert

Submitted: July 6, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
This house was perfect for our two families. We had 4 young teen agers and 4 adults and enough room for all of us. Great location to be able to experience all that there is to see and do. The house is very well maintained and comfortable. Jen is wonderful to deal with. All the local books/brochures on hikes and history of the area were a welcome addition and well used by us. We loved every moment there.
Owner's Response: Thanks so much! Hope your travels back home were easy and look forward to seeing you again. Jen Wales, Mountain Sea Properties

Excellent Home/Excellent Location/Excellent Value

5 of 5
Submitted: June 12, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
Beechwood is without a doubt the best home we have rented in our various trips to the Acadia National Park area. As noted in our title, this home represents the best of items most often deemed essential when 'shopping' for a house rental. The home location on the quiet side of the island (close to the park and excellent resturants but away from the tourist traffic) of the home met all expectations for ourselves and our 4 guests. The home was quite clean and furnishings comfortable. Setting the table (and cooking utensils) for 6 was no problem, be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Also of note, consummable products such as soap,dishwasher and washing machine detergent ,shampoo, paper towels and toilet paper were in excellent supply. Linen supplies were quite good and all beds had flannel sheets/pillow cases. We believe you will not be disappointed in renting this property. Ray & Eileen S.
Owner's Response: Ray and Eileen,
"Without a doubt the best home we have rented" goodness me, I'm not sure I can do any better than that! Delighted to hear that we can met a bar set so high. My goal for any of our rental properties is that our guests should feel like they never left any of the comforts of home. They should be able to walk into any of our properties with nothing more than their personal belongings and not want for a thing during their vacation. Time should be spend with family and friends, enjoying each other and the most beautiful island on earth. I can't always meet that goal 100% of the time but I certainly do my best. I clearly did for you and your friends and am delighted to hear that I was successful. It was a pleasure to met everyone and certainly hope to be able to assist you on your next trip up to Bar Harbor. Jen Wales- Mountain Sea Properties

Beechwood truly is a home away from home

5 of 5
Submitted: May 8, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
We stayed at Beechwood early this April to visit our son who worked at Jackson Labs in Bar Harbor. We LOVED the house! It was warm, welcoming, clean and so well stocked. The internet access and satellite TV were an added bonus (we have neither cable or satellite TV where we live so that alone was a novelty for our daughters!). Having a washer and dryer is a vacationing mom's dream. We loved the area - Acadia National Park is beyond beautiful. Although the Park was closed for the season, that did not stop us from hiking, biking and exploring to our hearts content...to have such a beautiful park completely devoid of people was for us a very special experience. There were plenty of restaurants/businesses open in Bar Harbor to make the trip off season worthwhile.

Jen Wales went out of her way to accommodate us - she was a pleasure to deal with.

I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a "home away from home." I will confess, I cried when we left. We love Maine, we love Acadia. Our son is heading on to graduate school and it may be a while before we visit Maine again, but we will be back!

On a funny note, we drove 10 hours to discover a Colgate flag on the Beechwood garage! Colgate is only 40 minutes from our house in Central New York. Go figure.

5 stars, highly recommend. Don't be afraid to visit OFF SEASON! It's truly a wonderful time to be in Maine.
Owner's Response: Robin,
Thank you for all your kind words! It seems that Acadia has touched you in a way that it does for so many, myself included. Mount Desert Island is truly a diamond, no matter what the season. It is stunning in its beauty whether it be in warm summer sunlight or blanketed with pure white winter snow. There really is so much to do here year round which is one reason that we have made this home, Beechwood, available for rentals in all seasons, not just the summer. We would certainly love to have you visit again and we would be delighted to offer a "referral" discount to anyone whom you send our way. I wish your son all the best, Jackson Lab will certainly be a gold star on his resume (maybe he'll move back here one day and then you can come visit all the time! Hey, a mom can hope, right?)
