Overview
Bar Harbor House Rental Photos and Description
House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 4)
Rocko's Cottage is located on a side street in the downtown area of the beautiful island town of Bar Harbor. We are pet friendly for your well mannered four legged friends. Rocko is actually our 7 lb Dorkie. (Dachshund/Yorkie)
You will be within walking distance of over 25 restaurants ranging from fine dining to family fare. Bicycle rentals, kayaking trips, and unique shops galore are all within minutes of your front door and yes we can tell you which of these places welcome pets. Walk the shore path or across a natural sand bar (actually a glacial deposit) to visit beautiful Bar Island. Never have to worry about parking your car or enjoying a cocktail and then driving.
Rocko's Cottage was built in 2005 and is tastefully and comfortably furnished. You will find everything that you need to enjoy your stay. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessities of life, and the linens are all in good condition. The open floor plan actually makes our cottage appear much larger inside. It must be noted that the bathroom does not have a tub but does have a nice 4 ft. shower and for your convenience there is a stackable washer and dryer. This is a great house and location for people that travel with pets or just one or two couples or a small family that want to stay in the heart of town. Once you visit us you will be sure to return again and again.
The owners live and work locally and we are always only a phone call away if there is a problem. Welcome to our home and enjoy your stay....

HOME away from home!
Rocco's Cottage was much nicer than it was shown on line! It was clean, convenient, well-appointed and a pleasure to live in for a relaxing week. All things Bar Harbor were within a short walk from the cottage and its "set back" location provided maximum privacy. I brought my two dogs and felt like they were the only two pets ever inside the house because it was so clean! Lisa and Rick are REAL folks with a common-sense, friendly New England approach to everyone and everything. They are a gentle presence if needed and invisible if not. I felt completely at home -TRULY at home in their cottage because they provided everything you could ever need or want while away from home. I will return to Rocko's cottage because this was one of my best vacations, EVER!
Really Nice Little Place
We've not always had success using VRBO, this time we did. Cute place, nice hosts, everything you need during your stay and the one thing we did need, they brought us!
We were very happy with the location, walking distance to the village square, shops, and restaurants.
Pet friendly and you'd never know they allowed pets, no stains or wear & tear from previous pet guests.
Amazing stay
Rocko's cottage was perfect for the two of us and our dog. Set back from the street behind the main house and was quiet. It has off street parking. A couple of blocks to walk down town, very convenient. Very clean and had all of the amenities that we needed. Lisa and Rick are extremely hospitable and welcoming. Can't wait to go back.
Total Agreement on the 3 'C's Cozy, Clean & Comfortable!
Exactly as pictured. All the comforts of home. Don't let 'pet-friendly' scare you if you don't have pets. We could not bring our dogs, but we are dog lovers (so we know they can be messy:) Rocko's Cottage is bright & clean & loaded with amenities. Quiet, but very close to Main St. Lisa & Rick are locals & willing to share information about the area. Definitely would recommend it!
Home Away From Home
Rocko's Cottage was a perfect VRBO for our two week stay in Bar Harbor. Walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants downtown and only a few minutes from Acadia. The cottage is clean, quiet and stocked with everything we needed to feel at home. Off street parking was a plus. Thank you for providing such a wonderful home for our annual Bar Harbor visit.
love it
We love staying at Rocko's cottage. It's got everything you need for comfort including air conditioning, comfy beds, cable tv, good size kitchen, etc. It's clean & convenient to downtown but away from the noise. So easy to walk to the village green & use the shuttle service. A lovely park in the other direction. Love staying here. Lisa is available for anything but never intrusive. Highly recommend Rocko's cottage
