Everything about this location was great. Heather was flexible, available and the neighborhood was just that, a neighborhood. We were close enough yet far enough from town and the tourists. Our own parking spaces, very nice home. I’d come back.

Fantastic stay in Bar Harbor

This property was perfect for our family. The home was spacious and close to the national park. The option to rest in the middle of the day between hikes was an unexpected benefit of having a home so close to all the best parts of the park. I can't say enough about how great this home was to stay in.
