House holiday rentals in Bar Harbor

Nice place! I had a great time here with my dog. The host gave us instructions when we arrived, and he response very quickly and friendly. Highly recommend

The house was perfect for us. Very clean and organized. Great host always responded in a timely manner. Was only about a 30 to 40 minute drive to Acadia National Park & Bar harbor, depending on traffic it could take longer. If we ever make it back to Maine I would definitely stay at the Higgins Retreat again. Thanks again Richard & Tina.

Thank you Christina! Great weekend stay for UMaine graduation. Great location from campus and stores for the things we forgot (haha).

We felt like at home. The house is located in a private property with swimming pool and tennis courts. It’s very clean and very peaceful. Just a clarification about the description : there’s no bathroom in the basement. Then if you come with elderly people or very young kids, it could be annoying. If you like cooking, the kitchen is very well equipped. We´ll keep a very good memory of our stay in Ducktrap Retreat during the colorful foliage season.

What a wonderful experience! Rebecca was an absolutely outstanding host, always quick to respond and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. My family and I had such a peaceful stay. The home and location were incredibly tranquil, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The house and property were absolutely beautiful, and we loved sipping our morning coffee on the amazing balconies with the breathtaking views. There is so much space, and every room in the house is well thought out, functional, and cozy. The pool is even better than we hoped, so big and clean and in immaculate condition. We spent most of our time swimming and relaxing by the pool. We also enjoyed playing pool and having so many rooms to gather in with the comfort of plenty of new comfy furniture. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind for a vacation away from all the noise and chaos of daily life. Every single area was as described in the listing and better. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Booked this place for our anniversary to get away from the city for a weekend.. we found exactly what we were looking for! The hot tub was wonderful, the house was clean and cute, and we had everything we could have needed! Estelle was very responsive and gave clear instructions for everything. Would recommend this place for a quiet getaway or a small group trip in the summer!

My return visit to the Boathouse was even lovelier than I hoped it would be. The location can't be matched by anything else I've seen. I enjoyed a September visit with my dog and was lucky to have pristine weather. I lived a very simple and healthy outdoors life and came home the better for it. The Boathouse is true to its description: it is simple and rustic and uncomplicated but well-equipped, and is perfect for one-and-dog, or for two people. A little coming-and-going from the neighboring houses meant that I didn't feel isolated. Margaret is truly an exceptional and friendly host who communicates promptly and clearly. I almost hesitate to share "my" Boathouse location with too many of my back-home friends because it feels so intimate and special. I already want to be back there. I offer my deep thanks to Margaret and to the place that I could - briefly - call home.

I recently stayed with my family at this incredible Airbnb that exceeded all my expectations. This property offered a hot tub, a pool table, and a level of privacy and tranquility that made for a truly relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was being able to watch the northern lights from the hot tub – it was absolutely magical. We spent a week in Acadia, and the location was perfect, just 15-20 minutes from Bar Harbor or the nearest town. The hosts were very responsive, and the place was fantastic for families, being both kid and pet friendly. It was a week filled with unforgettable moments, and I can't recommend this place enough!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this beautiful home! The house was spotless, cozy, and beautifully decorated. The host was equally wonderful. So kind, welcoming, and responsive. She made check-in a breeze and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything I needed. It’s clear she genuinely care about her guests experience. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable, and well-cared-for stay.

Lynn's place was great for checking out Acadia, Bar Harbor other surrounding harbors. It had everything we needed and having water bottles, camp chairs and blankets was a bonus. Kim P

Beautiful & magical spot! Views of water were gorgeous to wake up to. Being able to walk out onto the beach was wonderful. Cabin was clean, soaring ceilings, very open and bright. Loved it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Salt in the Pines! It was the first visit to Maine for some of our family members from the Philippines, and we all absolutely fell in love with the place. The home is beautifully appointed and tastefully decorated with incredible attention to detail. We especially enjoyed bringing takeout from the Travelin Lobster and savoring our seafood feast in the cozy alcove dining area. We would love to return!

My wife and two daughters had a wonderful stay! The kids really loved the books, movies and games and they loved sleeping upstairs in the loft space. It’s also super convenient to bar harbor, Cadillac and other parts of the island given it’s so centrally located. We’d love to come back!

We had a wonderful stay. Melissa and Andrew’s place is fantastic! It was very cozy, clean, and a convenient base for Bar Harbor adventures.

Nice location on the quiet/less busy side of the island. Feels almost like a new build - all furniture & fixtures are clean/new/nice; honestly the best equipped kitchen I've seen at an Airbnb. Set up well for families with small kids (high chair, pack n play, sippy cups, etc) - although our kids are past that age, these amenities would come in extremely handy for those who need them. Check out a sunset at Seal Cove Picnic Area just a few mins down the road - it was great.

A cozy cabin deep in the woods right next to the water and Acadia. What more could you ask for?

If I could compare this airbnb to an NBA player it would be Lebron Raymone James

Kate’s place looks just like the pictures. It’s in a nice residential neighborhood that is easily walkable to the main downtown area. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay.

A great place to stay in such a great area. Feels so in the middle of nowhere but in a good way. The stars are beautiful at night, the house was gorgeous, and they have plenty of games to play since there is no TV. But we didn’t miss the TV at all! Whoever sleeps upstairs will be forced to wake up with the sun because of the lack of curtains but also not a bad problem to have :) And the bathroom floors are heated, which is such a nice amenity!

We came on a family trip to Acadia and stayed here. The place was extremely clean and spacious. Rebecca is a gracious and responsive host. The location is great, as it is close to a lot of things, but it also feels private. And the best part of all is the view- it’s amazing!

LOVED this place!! Clean, that’s a dealbreaker, and it was clean! Situated on 8 acres, peaceful, dog-friendly, cozy, just felt like home. Loved the bottle of wine and chocolates, that’s the way to a girls heart, after a clean place ofc. There were tissues in the bathroom, stocked kitchen, w &d, great lighting. There was this quilt and rug in the master bedroom that looked like I was sleeping at grandmas house. We had to drive everywhere, as this was not a walking rental, but totally worth it. Felt like the heart of Acadia. You have to drive to all the trails anyway. Would totally stay here again.

Aaron's place was super cute and cozy,was one of the best places we have ever rented, Amazing and very private super close to Bar Harbor and attractions in the Area,like Cadillac mountain and the Arcadia national Park surroundings etc,the bed is comfortable and hot water was Amazing,the Grill is super easy to use and super efficient,the view of the lake is a Dream come true when you wake up in the morning or sunset to look out into the lake as you have either breakfast or dinner,it is especial when you can enjoy your stay in such amazing environment and gorgeous home, shopping at Hannaford and then cooking it at the home grill was the best dinner ever, thanks to Aaron for attention to detail at this property,I definitely recommend renting this home for privacy and comfort of the mind,is truly a great home and location to the attractions are superb,is far enough for privacy and close enough to all attractions without a Doubt is a Gem,I will Definitely come back without thinking about it

A great place to stay with easy access to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Was very clean, new, updated with nice amenities. Enjoyed the ping pong table and access to laundry. A great find! Would definitely stay here again.

This house was amazing—hosts really have thought of everything when it comes to guest experience! Kayaking out to the tiny islands in the bay a couple times allowed us to see horseshoe crabs and bald eagles up close. The fire pit was great and the “s’mores station” with supplies in the kitchen upon arrival was so cute and thoughtful. Our three kids loved this place and didn’t want to leave at the end of the week. Our boys especially loved the lower level game room with ping-pong, arcade games, and pop-a-shot. The kids also loved reading on the sofa in the upstairs loft overlooking the kitchen. The kitchen is well stocked and we cooked dinner there a couple times during the week. The hosts gave great local recommendations as well—the craft beer at Fogtown Brewing in Ellsworth (less than 15-min. drive) is excellent, and it is very kid-friendly with a large outdoor eating area and wood-fired pizza. We’d love to return to this house! Mosquitoes are fierce so bring bug repellent.
