Falcon's Nest—Beautiful In-Town Bar Harbor Home, Walk to Downtown, Pet Friendly

(This property is registered with the Town of Bar Harbor, License #VR2R26-245) Please note, during the summer weeks and based on availability, we prefer a weekly rental with a 7-night minimum stay. All other stays require a minimum four nights per town rules.

WELCOME TO FALCON'S NEST!

Our charming, updated 3-bedroom home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood on a corner lot, just an easy five-minute walk from downtown Bar Harbor. You'll be close enough to walk to restaurants, shops, the Shore Path and the Island Explorer, while still enjoying a peaceful neighborhood to come home to after a day of exploring.

Falcon's Nest is a comfortable and welcoming home for families, couples or friends traveling together. The home has three bedrooms upstairs: a king bedroom, a bedroom with two twin beds (which can also be converted to a king upon request), and a third bedroom with bunk beds that are especially well suited for children.

The first floor features a comfortable living room with sectional sofa, an updated kitchen with a large eat-in island, an additional dining table for two, and a full bathroom. A washer and dryer are conveniently located on the first floor as well.

OUTDOOR SPACE

One of the things our guests love most about Falcon's Nest is the private fenced backyard. After a day hiking in Acadia or exploring Bar Harbor, relax on the back deck, enjoy dinner at the outdoor table, or fire up the gas grill. There's also a covered front porch and a private driveway for convenient off-street parking.

Traveling with your dog? The private fenced backyard gives your four-legged family member a safe place to enjoy some outdoor time.

AMENITIES
Falcon's Nest is equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi, Smart TVs and an assortment of board games for relaxing evenings at home. The home also has air conditioning, a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, gas grill, deck, covered front porch and private off-street parking.

EXPLORE BAR HARBOR AND ACADIA

Falcon's Nest makes it easy to enjoy both Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Downtown is just a short walk away, while Acadia is only about a five-minute drive.

The Island Explorer provides free seasonal transportation around Mount Desert Island, making it easy to leave your car behind when exploring Bar Harbor and many Acadia destinations.

The YMCA and nearby athletic fields, including basketball, tennis/pickleball, baseball and soccer facilities, are just a couple of blocks away, making Falcon's Nest especially convenient for families. If golf is your thing, historic Kebo Valley Golf Club is also nearby. Established in 1888, Kebo is the oldest golf club in Maine and the eighth-oldest in the United States, and is open to public play.”

A HOME THAT FEELS LIKE HOME

We take great pride in making Falcon's Nest comfortable, clean and exceptionally well equipped for our guests. We want you to have everything you need for a relaxing Bar Harbor vacation, from a comfortable place to sleep after a day on the trails to a kitchen that makes preparing a meal at home easy. Falcon's Nest is more than a place to stay; it's a home away from home.

Our guests consistently tell us that the comfortable furnishings, exceptionally well-stocked kitchen, cleanliness and easy walk to downtown are what make Falcon's Nest special. We have many guests who return year after year.

We'd love to welcome you to Falcon's Nest and help make your Bar Harbor and Acadia vacation a memorable one!

The home was absolutely perfect- it had everything we could possibly need during our week long stay and the location can’t be beat. It is close enough to walk into town and only a few minutes by car to Acadia. The house was very clean and Bobby was quick to respond to all communications. He left us a blueberry crumble cake that was so delicious. We’ve been visiting Bar Harbor for many years now and this is the first time we used Vrbo and were very pleased with the whole experience. We’ll definitely be using it again and staying at this house for all our future travels to MDI. Thanks so much Bobby and Sandi!

The house was in the most perfect location. We walked everywhere and the drive into Acadia was extremely close as well. Especially if you’d like to see Jordan Pond and Cadillac Mountain. The hosts were attentive and responded quickly. The house was also stocked perfectly, we loved the amount of towels and blankets. The house was very clean and fit our group of 5 very well. Would definitely stay here again!

The fenced in yard was wonderful for the pup and kids, as was the proximity to the YMCA, playground and fields. The home was extremely clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies, linens and towels. The host (Bobby) was extremely responsive and gifted us and the pup and arrival treat. Highly recommend this home for a convenient, clean and quiet visit to Acadia and Bar Harbor.
