Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Bar Harbor

We had a wonderful stay at Plover Cottage and truly enjoyed the incredible views of Taunton Bay from the windows as well as the sitting areas on the property. Bar Harbor and ANP are about a 40 minute drive but a very nice one at that. Schoodic Peninsula is a closer ride and well worth the visit! The kitchen is well stocked and filled with other essentials that make for a wonderful stay to explore the beautiful coastal towns in the area. Thank you Jonathan for being a responsive host and offering us a wonderful place to experience Acadia National Park!

We really enjoyed our stay at Day Lily. The location is just far enough from downtown to avoid the crowds, but close enough for easy access to anything you need. An entrance to Acadia Park is just a few minutes away, and the lobster pound just down the road is worth visiting more than once for takeout. Lisa was very responsive to questions and made sure we were well taken care of. We spent the majority of the time we weren't out hiking just sitting on the porch and reading. Our timing was perfect, in that we visited after Memorial Day, but prior to the end of the school year. The house is set back a bit from the roadway, with lots of trees, giving you a feeling of being in the woods. There is a little road noise, but it didn't bother us at all. Lisa advised us to bring a mosquito coil, but we really didn't need it that much. There were a few mosquitos, but nothing more than we would have on our own patio at home. We did, however, need bug spray while hiking in the park.

Terras place was perfect for our family of five adults, one infant and one baby. It had everything we needed from the large bedrooms, multiple living spaces, large kitchen with all the utensils needed, outdoor playset, fire pit, and hot tub. Every question I had for Terra, she answered within an hour.

As soon as we pulled up to the house, we could immediately see why Sue’s place is so well-reviewed. The surroundings are both peaceful and stunning - we saw a deer in the back yard when we arrived, saw an otter playing in the water on our last night, and spotted many other birds out the back in between! I have never stayed at a more well-stocked Airbnb. We love to cook when we travel, and every time I looked for a gadget or kitchen item, I easily found it. Any time I couldn’t find something, I knew that it had to be there and that I was just looking in the wrong spot, and that was always the case. Although it is a bit of a haul from some of the popular spots on Mt. Desert Island, the setting and privacy was well worth the drive. There is also plenty to do nearby, including Tidal Falls Preserve just down the road! We were so sad to leave at the end of our stay and hope we have the chance to stay here again in the future.

What a beautiful stay. It was my first time in the area and at Acadia NP and I’m so happy I chose Jackie’s place in Winter Harbor rather than the busy Bar Harbor side. It was so peaceful and quiet in the evenings. There were also walking distance hikes in Acadia NP. There is a ferry on the Winter Harbor side to take into Bar Harbor which was a lovely scenic trip and incredibly convenient. There is a delicious seafood restaurant right down the street that was walking distance from the house as well. Jackie was so responsive and a great host. I would 10/10 book again.

Nice little home near Acadia. It's about a 35-40 minute drive to Bar Harbor / the visitor's center. Comfortable beds, ample kitchen, good amount of space - this is a nice retreat after a long day in the park. The beach access is a nice bonus as well.

this was our first time using airbnb and Patrick’s place was perfect! Great location and breathtaking views! He was very helpful and accommodating. House definitely had the 70s charm going which we found fun and unique! The amount of kitchen gadgets was seriously impressive! the spaces were all well utilized.

This place was located in such a beautiful space. The house was great, spacious, and clean for five of us and the scenery was jaw dropping. We cooked most nights and Michelle had everything we needed. We also loved using the kayaks, hanging out watching the NBA finals from the hot tub and reading on the deck. The drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia was only about an hour away and we would eat late lunches at the variety of restaurants in that area. Schoondic Point is also a must see! Staying at this location was a great way to experience Maine with our family.

The apartment was fantastic! It had everything we needed, and no clutter! Beautiful furnishings, modern, simple and comfortable. Surprised by the unexpected gorgeous view of the Narrows bridge at night - what a great seating alcove to enjoy it! Easily walkable to the waterfront and restaurants. We have come to depend on Warren's on the Waterfront and Bucksport House of Pizza over the past few years of visiting - this trip did not disappoint, the pizza and sandwiches are still top notch! We were here this time for our son's graduation from MMA, and although we rented a larger home for the younger guests and West Coast visitors, we chose this one for us, as a place to get away from the chaos of the larger home. It was simply perfect. Kudos to your housekeeping, the apartment was spotless and so welcoming - especially after a 13 hour drive from Maryland. Even though our son has graduated, we will be back. We just love the area. Thank You!!!

10/10 Best Airbnb we ever stayed in! The house was super clean, kitchen fully equipped with fresh eggs, milk and butter in the fridge. All taken good care off by the lovely Pam. She even made fresh cookies and muffins! We came to Acadia for hiking and this was for us the perfect stay since it’s away from all the crowds. Perfect vacation, will defiantly come back!

This place was absolutely wonderful. My boyfriend and I were looking for a relaxing place to stay near Acadia so that we could hike and visit the beach, and we got the bonus of exploring adorable Ellsworth staying in Keith’s place! It had everything we could possibly need and more and was extremely clean and cozy. Definitely recommend and the cheesecake gift cards were the cherry on top!

This is a great place to stay, even better than it appears in the photos. It was not just clean, it was immaculate - and for an extremely observant nurse - that was awesome. The unit had easy access with a slight gradient path and only two steps - which was very helpful for us as seniors. The firm bed was very comfortable. Barbara was responsive and thought of everything, including having delicious specialty coffee for us - Thanks. She even had a cooler in the closet for us to use when we went to Acadia National Park. Like I said, she truly thought of everything. If we return to this area of Maine, we would love to stay again. We enjoyed our stay.

The place is very nice and private. Quiet neighborhood, yet close to the downtown area in Camden. Walking distance to the trail to Mt Battie. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Jason was very friendly and had clear instructions on how to use everything. We really enjoyed our stay.

So peaceful but off season. So not sure how it would be with lots of traffic and people. But the private deck and entrance was wonderful. The water view couldn’t have been more up close and personal with the beautiful harbor. The place was clean and cozy. Perfect lighting. Didn’t watch tv once. A convenient common room for extra supplies or a cup of coffee. Staff was very friendly when we were checking out. No front desk attendant and none needed. They answer messages quickly!

It was a nice location and the place was as described. The dock was nice, but the stairs getting down is through the driveway of another house. It was a great spot to come back to after a day exploring Acadia.

I cannot say enough about Nancy, the unit I stayed in, or her hospitality! This apartment was perfect and cozy for my visit, with lots of personal touches and extras - if you need it, she’s already thought of it and has it ready for you. She was also very accommodating when my flight was cancelled and I had to shift my days around a bit. The personal touches were perfect - I had farm fresh eggs for breakfast and some delicious muffins too. A wonderful stay, thank you! I will most definitely be back! ❤️
