1910 Shingle-style mansion in the heart of Bar Harbor
Landmark 1910 Shingle-style mansion centrally located next to downtown Bar Harbor, just steps from the sand bar to Bar Island. House was as advertised; maintenance and operating features fine; booking and check-in process smooth. A perfect venue for an extended family reunion. (We booked the house for my wife's 70th birthday.)
A beautiful house built in 1910 with perfect location, wonderful landscaping, great views, impressive woodwork and details, and lots of room. But the house is old and musty. Anyone sensitive to mildew and/or odors will not be happy. We appreciate that the owners are trying to keep the house authentic to its heritage, but that's no excuse for not doing some basic upkeep. The basement is full of mildew and the smell permeates the house, or maybe it's more than just the odor. The windows are a mix of old and older and a lot don't work. I'm not going to list everything, but there's a lot of deferred maintenance, to put it politely. So, if you want a grand old house right on the water and walk to everything in town, this is it. Just understand that it has its shortcomings. Modern luxury is not included.
Large mansion built in 1910 within easy walking distance to center of town and the sandbar. Many great spaces to gather friends and family (glass porch, large dining room, large backyard). Plenty of parking, good washers and dryers. Very nice owner / operator.
Great property for 3 generation family vacation. Plenty of room to spread out. Well supplied with necessities. Gorgeous outdoor space. Perfect location walkable to everything. Would definitely book again if vacationing in the area.
Overall we had a great stay at the property. Space to spread out with a large group and location canât be beat. The house is steps from the shopping, food and drinks. Behind the house is the sandbar that leads to bar island.
Had a couple of minor issues however , there was some significant staining on at least one of the couches as well as a not very clean floor throughout the house. Earlier reviews calling it old house clean is a perfect way to phrase it.
Communication was ok but we had asked one question that was left unanswered by host.
Our extended family stayed at this property for a wonderful Bar Harbor vacation. A welcome feature that is not in the Vrbo website description is the number of appliances that accommodates larger groups. Two big refrigerators and a dorm size fridge where we kept drinks for the kids, two microwaves and three washers and dryers so that we could keep up with laundering clothes. In fact, if I had known there were three washer/dryer units I wouldn't have packed so much! It is located right next to a sand bar where we could observe the tide covering and then uncovering the gravel/sand walkway to an island. This house is walking distance to to many restaurants and boat tours. Acadia is a short drive.
Stayed with a mixed group of family. It is impossible to beat the location and number of beds/ bathrooms.
It was what I would call old clean ( to be expected with a house on the historic register, but bothered a couple of people in our group). Bedding and rooms were clean but some things seemed to lack a bit of maintenance(windows, landscaping, outdoor areas could use a bit of clean up/improvement. exposed plywood floors on the third floor, covert with rugs and carpet runners)
Overall an excellent place that many in my group including myself loved. Lots of cool old features to explore in the house.
If you are a neat freak and looking for a modern experience probably not the place for you. If you donât mind clean old historic properties with unbeatable location this is the place for you.
Our family enjoyed this property and it's proximity to town as well as the land bridge. It was wonderful to be able to walk to shops and restaurants. The house is spacious with ample room for large groups, as ours was.
Best location in town. Quick walk to downtown, grocery store, and ice cream shops. There were three generations of a family - twelve in total...but no one felt crowded because there is so much room. Everyone loved the "old world charm" of the house.
Our 15 consisted of 2 grandparents, 6 parents and 7 children ages 6-17. Everyone had great sleeping quarters and room to be all together. The back porch looking over the land bridge to Bar Island was our favorite. Location was perfect for our activities of eating, shopping and hiking Acadia! We were especially impressed with the Owner's quick and positive response to our one request. Thank you so much for opening your home to our family. The wonderful memories of this place will last us a long time!
Beautiful and spacious home. Within walking distance of everything in Bar Harbor.
Weather was pretty rainy with Tropical Storm Lee just off the coast. Thank goodness for this spacious home. Plenty of space for grandkids to play.
Everything about the stay was great. Right next to downtown and the walk to Bar Island. A huge house with everything you need. Simple check-in and friendly hosts!
I had never been to Bar Harbor and spent hours scrutinizing various locations, trying to figure out if this house was in a âgood spotâ. I will save you the work - it is!!! We LOVED this house and you cannot get any closer to restaurants, boats, beaches, lobster, shops, ice cream and more! Yet it still feels private. Itâs a gorgeous house with everything you could possibly need. We loved being so close to the sandbar and spent hours everyday on the back porch. Easy drive to Acadia. We were pleasantly surprised to see fans and air conditioners running when we got there in August.
Overall, just the most magical place to spend time with family and friends! My favorite Vrbo property to date!!
There was plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen was well equiped. Some of our family members weâre working online and there were several areas to insure privacy etc. close to shopping , interesting places to eat.
Perfect location! Being only a short walk into town was great! No worries about parking. More than enough room to accommodate our guests comfortably. just a beautiful space and comfortable stay.
Our family had a wonderful stay for a long holiday. The home's location is great -- walking distance to everything in town and a short drive in to Acadia. The home is incredibly comfortable; even in the late fall during a colder spell, we had no concerns about heat despite the age of the home. The owners were easy to contact and quick to respond. Would absolutely recommend!
Wonderful week in Bar Harbor! 10 adults (3 couples and 4 singles) enjoyed the close proximity to town, shops, grocery store and restaurants- all walking distance. Dining table big enough for us all! Lots of places in the house to gather and we especially enjoyed the patio and sunroom. Thank you for a great time in your historic home!
The good. Location, location, location. Wonderful space for large groups. Beautiful home. The bad. The owners should invest money in repairing thing like broken toilet tissue holders, rugs with holes, very dirty couches and moldy shower curtains. The ugly, the property management company should check their cleaners. So much dust, even in the bath tubs. If you are going to charge a large cleaning fees then it should be clean and the guest should not be responsible for doing the laundry and putting all the dishes away after the dishwasher finishes but before you leave. Overall, loved the property and would stay again.
We are all so glad we choose this property instead of our first choice 2 years ago. (Thank you Covid!!) I hadn't even realized that the sand bar was just down the street from the back yard. Walking to everything was a huge help when you have 14 people. Just 4-5 blocks got us where we needed to be. Grocery store is only 2 blocks away. Lots of space in the house for all of us and the backyard was great for the grandkids to run off all their energy. We all went to the beach every day looking for sea creatures- and found some. 2 families rented ebikes just down the street and rode out to Acadia. This historic home was a joy to stay in!! Would recommend to everyone!!
The home is perfect for multiple families or friends. Kitchen is well equipped, and home amenities are all provided.
The only suggestion I would make is to add window AC units for the 3rd floor bedrooms.
Other than that, the house is perfect. Our family hopes to return in the future. Thank you for an amazing vacation!
