Apartment holiday rentals in Mount Desert

Relaxing, quiet spot to stay while visiting the attractions in and around Acadia National Park, easy commute to reach the Bar Harbor area. Excellent info on things to do and see, places to eat. Perfect set up, everything needed to cook fresh lobster is provided. Yes, the water is ‘hot’ BUT ample posted warnings about the hotness! To top it off, easy to find and the pricing is amazing compared to other rentals in the area!

This home is fantastic. it is in such a beautiful and serene setting. you get to watch the sunrises over the mountains in the back, and the outdoor shower is so amazing. inside is comfy and the bed was huge! great hosts as well. very attentive and helping.

Wonderful place to stay in Bar Harbor! Great location to the restaurants and shopping and super short drive to Acadia. Place is quiet and was very clean. Would stay again!

My wife and I spent a few days here after our wedding. We found it to be the perfect spot outside of Bar Harbor where we frequently visited just 35-40 minutes away! The house was clean and Skyler was very responsive and accommodating. Ellsworth has a nice little downtown as well with some nice stores and good restaurants. If you’re looking for a nice place to stay, where the host is responsive and the house is quiet, my wife and I definitely recommend this stay!

Only have great things to say about our stay at Elly and Scott’s! Easy communication, very clean, beautiful and spacious apartment, and all amenities we could need. Southwest harbor itself is a cute little town and close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia as well. We happened to meet Scott in the parking area on our arrival and he was very kind and had a wealth of local recommendations for us as well. Would recommend staying here without reservation!

Stephen was very responsive and friendly! The place was a perfect location for our family and very close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The place was very clean and the heater was amazing. The view was beautiful and peaceful as well! I definitely recommend this place.

Such a beautiful little farmhouse! When putting in the address, it took us to the wrong location, but Amy answered the phone and helped us arrive to the correct place. She even gave us some delicious pot pies for the inconvenience. I've never written a review before, but this place impressed my mom and I so much I had to write a review! She's so thoughtful and has everything you could imagine stocked in the airbnb. From extra linens, to snacks, sandwich baggies, and even reusable water bottles! If I ever go back to Acadia, I would stay here again. The photos don't do it justice, the place is adorable! Thanks so much Amy!

Eli’s place was cozy, beautiful, and in a perfect location! The listing was so welcoming for pets which was a major plus!

It was wonderful to stay in this owner operated and occupied Airbnb! You could see the effort and care put into the space - it had art work and furnishings that made it feel like staying with family. There was so much more personality and care put into the space than corporate owned and run Airbnbs. I would much rather support people from the local community than some faceless corporation. They have a binder full of info on local restaurants and recreational activists and their recommendations were really helpful! The second bathroom on the first floor was useful so we could get ready more quickly in the mornings. Overall a wonderful stay and we would love to come back and stay here again!

great location close to Acadia without being too touristy. the perfect little getaway!

It’s everything you need. If you’re traveling with a dog this place is great. Easy to walk them, easy to get into town, really easy to get to Acadia. Jenn is wonderful. The apartment has what you need, and it’s where you expect it to be.

Cute suite in a cool mansion building with all of downtown Ellsworth nearby. It has a living area (bedroom/kitchen/dining), a sitting room, and a small bathroom. Ellsworth has a fun downtown with some interesting stores and good places to eat. Mount Desert Island is only 20 odd minutes away, though Acadia itself is another 10 and many locations can be 40 minutes away. Bar Harbor is about half an hour, a very worthwhile place to visit after hiking in Acadia. Bangor is also about 40 minutes away, it has some fun character and stores, worth spending a day at. Overall this is a great location but can feel slightly out of the way (which is better to avoid tourism).

This apartment was absolutely perfect for our fall trip to Acadia! I loved that we were super close to park entrances and just a short drive from Bar Harbor (but away from the craziness there!). The Colonel restaurant right next door was perfect for quick breakfasts and dinners when we didn’t want to deal with crowds, and the variety store down the street was super convenient. The apartment was adorable and clean—I’m so happy we found it! I would absolutely recommend it and would stay here again.

Very clean and comfortable space. Perfect for two people and less than 15minutes from the famous Acadia light house and about 30 minutes from bar harbor.

This was a destination vacation for a special celebration. It was beautiful and peaceful. It exceeded expectations in every way; the place was very clean, and well equipped with many thoughtful touches, the space had nice trails, beaches, views and history, everyone we met was friendly, warm and helpful, and the fresh fish every night was such a treat. Good was great and great was excellent. One of favorite places for sure.

This place was perfect for me! Right in the center of town with easy access to all my favorite bar harbor shops and restaurants. Instructions were super clear on check in and I loved having the parking at balance rock inn. This is also the only Airbnb that I’ve stayed in that had an excess towels which was amazing after long days of hiking and multiple showers.

The best airbnb experience I ever had. Incredibly detailed checkin and checkout through texts with all information provided earlier on. Amenities were even better than the pictures! They had everything provided, even laundry was made available-- and the CUTEST smores packets. The cute little community kitchen and house was really fun- the decor, the kitchen (has everything you need to cook), the gardening house...definitely revisiting! Thank you for an amazing stay :)

We had a great stay at Open Hearth Inn. Arthur is a great host. We had an issue with door of our cottage not being locked. He addressed our concern immediately and provided us with another accomodation so that we could feel safe at night.

A must stay for those exploring Acadia/Bar Harbor! The Open Hearth Inn was truly a family feel. The owners and the wonderful management team thought of everything you could want/need. This included treats for doggos, snacks for guests, board games, and even s’more kits to enjoy by the fire. Very quick drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor but also a lovely place to hangout on the days when you can’t do one more hike. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

This place was so cute! We loved our room and it was in a great location to explore Acadia for the weekend.

We LOVED our stay at Open Hearth Inn! We booked the room as a landing space during our trip to Acadia and it was perfect. The coziest and quaintest space, just outside of busy Bar Harbor! There were so many amenities (hot tub, full kitchen, fire pit, etc.) and the hosts were so generous and welcoming- there were even brownies left for guests one morning! 😭❤️ There are a plethora of guides and recommendations from the hosts in the lobby, we utilized them to find a kayaking spot during our trip. The common spaces are equally as cozy as the home, complete with loads of games and a TV! We are so glad we chose Open Hearth Inn and enjoyed spending time in the most homely and beautiful space!

I can't say enough about this place. Traveling with 4 seniors with mobility problems can be a challenge but Linda was beyond amazing and accommodating. The home had everything you needed and more. I can't wait to be able to come back

Perfect studio. Used the jetted tub, nice and relaxing. Lots of extras (new toiletries, coffee, filters, sugar, etc.) much appreciated and used. The view, esp at sunrise, was stunning. Quiet neighbors. The beach store (pizza, sandwiches, salads, coffee and more) was very good. Just down stairs and one building over. (get there early for their muffins) I would certainly stay here again.

Robin was very communicative and thoughtful during our stay. The place was exactly as described in the listing and was immaculate upon our arrival. The space was decorated tastefully and had everything we needed to be comfortable. Great location to be near the fair in the fall! Would recommend this location and host.
