Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Bar Harbor

Sydney’s house was perfect for our family! It was clean, with beautiful views on a quiet, private street. The house had plenty of toiletries, we didn’t need to buy any household items while there. The hot tub was clean and perfect for a breezy afternoon looking out at the water. Sydney was a great host, providing tons of recommendations on places to dine and sites to see. Perfect location to visit both the Schoodic Peninsula and Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor! Would love to stay here again.

My family felt instantly at home in Mark’s cozy cottage. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the water and our quiet and peaceful mornings spent by the fire (Mark thoughtfully kept us stocked with wood). If you’re looking to visit MDI it was an easy 30min drive. We cannot wait to return in the future!

Sue is a great host, and we had a wonderful stay. The home is a perfect base from which to enjoy the surrounding area or just kick back on the deck and relax.

We really enjoyed our stay at Day Lily. The location is just far enough from downtown to avoid the crowds, but close enough for easy access to anything you need. An entrance to Acadia Park is just a few minutes away, and the lobster pound just down the road is worth visiting more than once for takeout. Lisa was very responsive to questions and made sure we were well taken care of. We spent the majority of the time we weren't out hiking just sitting on the porch and reading. Our timing was perfect, in that we visited after Memorial Day, but prior to the end of the school year. The house is set back a bit from the roadway, with lots of trees, giving you a feeling of being in the woods. There is a little road noise, but it didn't bother us at all. Lisa advised us to bring a mosquito coil, but we really didn't need it that much. There were a few mosquitos, but nothing more than we would have on our own patio at home. We did, however, need bug spray while hiking in the park.

The house and the location were lovely. The owners are so kind and responsive. We were only 15 mins from Bar Harbor and about 15-20 from Acadia. We had a wonderful stay!

We stayed here for 2 nights. It was a very good stay for us. We had to double check how to get to the beach to make sure we weren't trespassing and Gregory responded in about 5 minutes with the green light. It's obviously an older home given the area so we weren't expecting brand new construction, and this was a perfect rustic get-away for us; would recommend for anyone looking to get away on a pleasant vacation

We loved our stay! Everything was as described and we had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook several meals. The view is absolutely beautiful from all parts of the house and we loved the outdoor amenities. Lucy was very responsive and gave us some great recommendations! Would love to come back!

This is an amazing find! We have been to 37 states and have stayed in countless air bnbs, and this is quite possibly our favorite. The location is gorgeous! The house is packed with amenities, which we super appreciated as a family of 5. The view every morning and evening was stunning. We were able to kayak from the house, have campfires, see the stars at night, enjoy the view and TV while hot tubbing, sip tea from the balcony, hike the nearby preserve, watch the wildlife and experience the amazing tides. We would 100% stay here again and hope to after we catch the other 13 states. If you're on the fence, just book it!!

The apartment was fantastic! It had everything we needed, and no clutter! Beautiful furnishings, modern, simple and comfortable. Surprised by the unexpected gorgeous view of the Narrows bridge at night - what a great seating alcove to enjoy it! Easily walkable to the waterfront and restaurants. We have come to depend on Warren's on the Waterfront and Bucksport House of Pizza over the past few years of visiting - this trip did not disappoint, the pizza and sandwiches are still top notch! We were here this time for our son's graduation from MMA, and although we rented a larger home for the younger guests and West Coast visitors, we chose this one for us, as a place to get away from the chaos of the larger home. It was simply perfect. Kudos to your housekeeping, the apartment was spotless and so welcoming - especially after a 13 hour drive from Maryland. Even though our son has graduated, we will be back. We just love the area. Thank You!!!

Our stay at Pam’s place was absolutely fantastic! This is our second time staying at The Nest. The apartment was beautifully decorated, impeccably clean, and had everything I needed, especially in the kitchen. We typically cook at least two meals a day and we had everything necessary. Pam was a wonderful host, very responsive and helpful throughout my stay. She stocked the fridge with eggs, butter, milk and half & half in addition to having cookies and muffins waiting for us on arrival. The location was perfect for exploring Bar Harbor and Acadia, but was far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet. We especially appreciated the cozy living space, comfortable bed, and fireplace to toast our toes. We love the mini farm aspect of The Nest. Seeing the chickens, goats, mini horses, ducks, and dogs as we come and go is definitely something we looked forward too. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing & unique stay away the hubbub but close enough to every

Keith and Lisa went above and beyond with this unit. Out of the airbnbs I have stayed in this one was by far the best and the other reviews are not exaggerating. This place was supplied for anything you’d need from a baking sheet for a full pizza pie to bug spray for any outdoor needs. The list goes on; umbrellas, smores ingredients, disposable razors, slippers, cleaning supplies, and more. This place was stocked better than my own home. We felt super comfortable and the place was very clean, so clean that it all felt newly purchased. Keith was quick to respond to any questions we had and also provided extensive guides on local restaurants/activities in the Airbnb. When we come back we would 100% stay here again. The drive to Bar Harbor was about 30 minutes and the stay was well worth the money we saved compared to staying somewhere closer to the park.

This is a great place to stay, even better than it appears in the photos. It was not just clean, it was immaculate - and for an extremely observant nurse - that was awesome. The unit had easy access with a slight gradient path and only two steps - which was very helpful for us as seniors. The firm bed was very comfortable. Barbara was responsive and thought of everything, including having delicious specialty coffee for us - Thanks. She even had a cooler in the closet for us to use when we went to Acadia National Park. Like I said, she truly thought of everything. If we return to this area of Maine, we would love to stay again. We enjoyed our stay.

Patrick was a great host. The Hanniford House is very charming. It’s obvious that Patrick loves the home by how well he’s maintained it. We arrived after dark making it a little difficult to get in, but Patrick was right there to help us, so things went smoothly. The neighborhood is very quiet and we felt safe there. Downtown Ellsworth is within walking distance with lots of restaurants and little shops. If you like peace & quiet, and appreciate a well-maintained historical home then I highly recommend Hanniford House and its host Patrick.

The place is very nice and private. Quiet neighborhood, yet close to the downtown area in Camden. Walking distance to the trail to Mt Battie. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Jason was very friendly and had clear instructions on how to use everything. We really enjoyed our stay.

So peaceful but off season. So not sure how it would be with lots of traffic and people. But the private deck and entrance was wonderful. The water view couldn’t have been more up close and personal with the beautiful harbor. The place was clean and cozy. Perfect lighting. Didn’t watch tv once. A convenient common room for extra supplies or a cup of coffee. Staff was very friendly when we were checking out. No front desk attendant and none needed. They answer messages quickly!

It was a nice location and the place was as described. The dock was nice, but the stairs getting down is through the driveway of another house. It was a great spot to come back to after a day exploring Acadia.
