It was awesome, easy and love the location

The food, shops and everything you need is within a brief walk from the door. Even caught a show at the Criterion that is literally around the corner!

A Bar Harbor Gem!

Loved our visit at A Little Mad Stay! The location is great with easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the Shore Path. Off street parking is a definite perk and even more so in high season. The space is welcoming with comfortable beds and access to an outdoor seating area. Would love to visit again. Be sure to check out the A Little Mad shop while you’re there - best shop in town!

A Perfect Stay in the Heart of Bar Harbor

We had such an incredible stay at A Little Mad Stay. It truly exceeded our expectations in every way. The location is unbeatable. We parked when we arrived and didn’t need the car again. Everything in Bar Harbor is just steps away. Having a dedicated off-street parking spot was such a huge bonus and made everything feel easy from the moment we arrived. It’s also incredibly close to Acadia National Park, which made getting in and out for hikes and exploring so convenient. The apartment itself is so comfortable and thoughtfully put together. We slept amazingly well every night. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and the whole space feels quiet, cozy, and relaxing after a full day out. We especially loved having meals together at the table. It became one of our favorite parts of the day. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and actually enjoy being there. Everything was clean, well cared for, and exactly as described, if not better. You can tell a lot of intention has gone into creating a space where guests feel at ease. It really is the perfect mix of convenience and retreat. Right in the middle of everything, yet peaceful when you come home. We would absolutely stay here again without hesitation.
