Vacation rentals in Bar Harbor

This is a beautiful hidden little gem. The cottage is right on the water facing west, perfect to catch the sunsets every night. The place is comfortable and homey. The local store (Dunbar’s) had everything we needed and more, including a deli and hot food. We enjoyed some time in Acadia, which is about an hour drive, but trust me it was worth the drive to stay at Plover’s Cottage. I would definitely stay again. Mark, the host, was available for questions and even brought more firewood to make sure we got to enjoy the fireplace.

Gorgeous ocean views right on the water! Every room has gorgeous photography on the walls, the house was extremely clean, everything clearly laid out in the house manual. Sunrises and moonrises over the ocean were stunning and unbelievable. Amazing location, super close to Tidal Falls. Drive to Acadia was easy and it is a great spot in between the Schoodic peninsula part of Acadia and the Bar Harbor part.

We had a great stay! Surrounded by beautiful nature. Very private but close 15 min drive into bar harbor. Trail head in the backyard was an added bonus. Very comfortable and large space to hang out! Loved our stay and would come back!

Carrie was very communicative as a host and made check in and check out easy. The space was beautiful and worked as a great jumping off point for sightseeing in Acadia and Bar Harbor while being very private. Carrie left us some great local recommendations that made our stay even better!

A beautiful house in a beautiful location! Beth was wonderful to deal with and very communicative. She kept in touch with us prior to our trip, and she patiently answered any questions we had during the trip. The views from the patio and living room are fantastic, and the area is very quiet. Both the Park and Bar Harbor are a short drive a way. This is a great place to stay on a trip to Bar Harbor.

Fantastic spot for our first visit to Acadia! The location was perfect—walking distance to great restaurants and a short drive to the park. The host Nina was responsive and made communication easy. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the area!

This was a wonderful house to stay in during our trip to Bar Harbor. The location is very close to downtown which allowed us to walk back and forth multiple times a day, and was also a very easy drive into the national park. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our family!

My husband and I stayed at Amy's place while visiting Acadia National Park and a few surrounding towns! It was a perfect little base camp with plenty to do in town as well. Amy's place was SUPER clean, well equipped and easy to find. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice place to stay at a reasonable price!

We absolutely loved our stay at Carlow and Karen’s cozy little cabin. So many small details that did not go unnoticed and made our first family getaway so special- excellent communication, super comfortable beds and linens, a wonderful shower, small fairy lights that were so cozy at night. A beautiful yard with water views were priceless. The swing and the dock were a hit with the kids. We can’t wait to return!

Eric is a super friendly host and he knows the local recommendations. His cabin is easy to check-in, clean and very peaceful. One sidenote is this listing doesn't provide wifi, making it ideal for people looking for an unplugged getaway. We truly enjoyed our time on the beautiful Maine coast!

If you want a fairytale cabin in the woods, this is the place you want to escape too! Every thing about this home softly whispers luxury! My wife and I wanted some place special to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and we found it! Ann felt more like family the way she hosted us. We arrived to all kinds of complimentary surprises ! Wine , blueberry jam, delicious snacks and plenty of picturesque spots to enjoy them. So many hiking adventure spots near by, must see little fishing towns, delicious food and welcoming people! We will be back!!!!

We had an awesome stay here!! The views are beautiful, the hot tub is awesome and the house was clean! It was also really fun to see the chickens and goats! Would definitely stay here again!

The cottage was an awesome stay. Beautiful views of the water from the front porch/fire pit area, super clean and useable space. Luis is a helpful and responsive host, with clear instructions to find and access the cottage. Thanks much!

Kurt and Jackiee were wonderful and responsive hosts. Their property was completely clean spotless as there were no complaints in that end. The road noise is a little bit bothersome for the work week mornings or trying to enjoy a quiet morning, but it doesn’t completely ruin the vibes offered by the lakefront view. Oven is small and a bit finicky (we had to ask for help) and so if you were tying to bake something that’s uses a pan bigger than the average sized cookie sheet, you’re out of luck. They supplied basic condiments and plenty of linens to last our 4 night stay. Super safe location and a perfect way to wake up in the morning. Would come here again or recommend to a couple looking for an awesome cottage near Acadia. If you’re picky about pillows, definitely BYO as they are on the softer side for the bed.

After days of hiking and exploring in Acadia, the cottage was a quiet, cozy place to spend our evenings. It had everything we needed, was in a quiet, peaceful location, and had lots of recommendations for restaurants and area attractions in the welcome binder and guestbook. Audrey and Scott were responsive and kind hosts. Thanks so much!

Sweet little house was perfect for our family and vacation to Mount Desert Island. Convenient access to Acadia NP, Bar Harbor, and any place else we wanted to go, but much quieter than being in Bar Harbor. House and kitchen was well stocked and Emily was extremely pleasant and welcoming.

The home was as described and had what we needed. We like to make all our meals, and the home had all necessary cooking items, although few spices, condiments, etc. Plenty of Kcups were provided. No dishwasher, but cleaning supplies and strainer were provided. The view of Mt. Dessert was beautiful! We traveled specifically to spend time in Acadia, and the location was perfect for that! The home is on a second story above a garage, connected to the main home with another resident. He was friendly and mostly kept to himself. The clothes washer and dryer (detergent provided) were on the main floor. There were several locked rooms, leaving just the bedroom, bathroom, and main living area. It was ample room for 2. Alison was exceptionally responsive and accommodating! We would certainly recommend and would book again!

Stayed here post honeymoon and I can’t say enough nice things about Pam and her home. From the moment you arrive to the first time you open the door you can tell Pam really put in a lot of thought and love into making this place as amazing as it is. She even left us homemade muffins which were AMAZING. Also, You have a question? There is probably a sticky note close by with an answer on it, if not she is so nice and responsive . The home itself is an absolute GEM. She has a little coop facing her kitchen in the back yard with little duck chicken goat and ponies friends to say hi to. The balcony in the Airbnb overlooks the backyard and it is so carefully put together and clean, you will see the animals just wandering around and grazing. Pam gave us recommendations for places near by and the run down of bar harbor. I would 100% recommend and stay at this place again. Thank you Pam!!!!

Very nice little apartment in a quiet and woodsy neighborhood in Southwest Harbor, a very short drive from plenty of restaurants and so forth, and also convenient for exploring the rest of MDI. The apartment was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, and Caroline was responsive and very friendly, as were the rest of her family. Would definitely stay there again.

Quiet and convenient to Bar Harbor! Comfortable living area with a full kitchen. The hosts were proactive with details for a smooth stay.

Such a cute place to stay near Bar Harbor and Acadia! The dogs were adorable! Perfect place to stay after a long day of exploring.

We really enjoyed Sandy's Hidden Treasure apartment. The location is perfect for walking to shops, restaurants, and all of Bar Harbor, including the supermarket and shuttle bus stop. The location is excellent for getting in and out of town without being snarled in congested downtown traffic. The off-street parking is a huge advantage because parking in town is a nightmare. The apartment is comfortable, clean, and quiet. We slept well and were not bothered by noise from the street or bars. The heat worked well, and the hot water was plentiful. We enjoyed the feeling of coming home to our cozy, private retreat after days of hiking in Acadia. We offer a few notes, not complaints, to other travelers. This apartment is not well suited to large people. The bedroom is tight, the doorway to the kitchen and bath is very narrow, and the vanity area is no wider than the sink itself. The garden by the door attracted many bees, which was a concern because my wife is allergic to bee stings.

We had a fantastic stay in Tremont! Nancy's place was spotless and well appointed, with a beautiful view of the water. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and essentials (coffee, tea, sugar, salt etc), making it easy to cook several meals. The apartment is in a peaceful part of MDI, yet conveniently close to the island's sights and towns. Nancy was responsive and helpful - overall a great stay. Highly recommend!

Our family had a wonderful stay in Melissa & Dana’s loft! The pictures don’t do the property justice. It’s cozy, clean and very spacious! The loft is in a great location, close to Acadia National Park and it’s easy to walk to all the shops and restaurants. We’d definitely stay in the loft again if we make a return trip to Bar Harbor!
