Guesthouse vacation rentals in Bar Harbor

Beautifully rustic, quiet and charming! We booked Penny’s place because we were looking for a rustic stay. The weather in September was ideal for this indoor/outdoor space. Fully stocked kitchen, and loads of space for dining and relaxing. We lucked out and didn’t have anyone else staying on property while we were, and I will say it’s a bit of a fishbowl, so if you’re looking for privacy, it’s not here. We had a superb time!

I appreciated the hospitality Dee provided and the place was immaculate and comfortable. Everything I needed was there.

We had the most peaceful & gorgeous stay here—the cabin is cozy and beautifully decorated, right on the edge of the burbling Peters Brook (which has a great trail to follow to a little waterfall in the woods!). The beach is just across the street with a great view of the harbor, but the house is tucked in off the road and felt very private. Only a couple minutes from town and not far from Acadia if you're hoping to see the sights. It was chilly during our stay, but there's a wood stove and space heaters which kept us cozy; be warned that it's a cabin in rural Maine if you're not used to creepy crawlies etc. Lucie was a wonderful host, super friendly and lovely to chat with!

This was such a delightful, peaceful & beautiful place to stay. Shelby was extremely responsive & helpful. I appreciated that she went the extra mile to alert me to the Aurora Borealis & encourage me to see it from the point. When the power went out b/c of a local car accident, she kept me updated with information about cause & when power was expected to return & provided flashlights & a special battery powered lightbulb to provide light. I couldn't have asked for more!

This is our second time staying here and we love it. It’s great for our little family of three. Feels like a little home away from home with everything you’d need. Steps away from a great trail and quick drive to so many other things. We love it here and will be coming back again.

This is a perfect little rustic gem, and actually quite spacious, and the little back deck facing the lupine field wonderful. Minimal traffic on the road, and the walk to the bathroom is an easy 100 feet. Casual and not precious. Perfect for us Mainers on a work trip up to nearby Acadia. Highly suggested.

This is the perfect Maine cottage experience. Easy to enter cove water for a swim. Cannot beat the view/sunsets. Sitting on front porch is the best. Very well stocked kitchen. Would stay again! Be aware there is no WiFi connectivity if you need that and one of us needed that for a work emergency so found public access. Us old folks found the lock box remote entry confusing. There was a small boat house close by and although visually blocked by trees could hear people talking on porch one night. Very little toilet paper supplied which based on how well everything else was likely an oversight but forced a quick trip to the Island market before it closed.

What an awesome place to stay! Lori was incredibly gracious and accommodating with out late arrival. The cabin towards the back of the property was so cozy. Fantastic stay and would definitely recommend!

Had such a nice long weekend here! The views from the studio out over the water are perfect for morning coffee and the place felt rustic and clean. Quiet neighborhood with some great places for pictures and The Grange, which has music and Fall craft fairs walking distance from the studio. The best food is in Rockland or Thomaston. I enjoyed the Waterworks and Ancho Honey restaurants. Parking around town is easy and (usually) free! Camden is also really pretty and historic and is nearby. Enjoyed my stay! Thank you :)

The listing was as described, and the sunset views were even better!!!! The studio was clean, welcoming, and perfect for 1 of us! We lacked for nothing as everything was adequately stocked!!! The host was friendly and was very prompt with responding. Great little place to stay!!

Hands down one of the best places I have ever been. Linda and Jay were so warm and welcoming. Homemade cookies, breakfast items, tea, coffee and snacks. Everything we could ever need. The home is beautifully decorated and immaculate! Linda and Jay were very proactive and thoughtful! They even left information books about the area, gave us some recommendations and answered all our questions. I wish we could have stayed longer! It was truly magical!

Chris’s place was beautiful and spotless. Had everything you could possibly need while being away from home. Anything I needed was right already provided, along with snacks for hikes and pancake mix that we used for breakfast on our final day before leaving. From the beautiful bathroom with the shower AND the tub, to the high ceilings in the kitchen/living room, the art that is all around the home, games, entertainment, etc. this place is absolutely perfect and we can’t wait to make our next trip to Maine to stay here again! Thank you so much for hosting us, Chris!

We highly recommend this place! Rob and Cassie were great, very responsive. The home was more beautiful in person than in the pictures and the view was wonderful!

The house is perfect for a short stay near Acadia; it was immaculate and the view from bed in the morning is beautiful. The vintage-looking mini fridge is one of several nice touches. There is no stove, but there’s a microwave and an air fryer. Carla is an extremely gracious and accommodating host. I’d stay again in a heartbeat!

Lorianne keeps the cottage very clean and feels like home. Lorianne was a very response and proactive host and the suggestions that she gave us were very helpful. Unfortunately it was cold during our stay, so we didn't make the campfire right outside the cottage.

This Airbnb was amazing in every way! We especially enjoyed the views of the mountains, the decor, how clean it was, the trees decorated with lights outside, and all the personal touches. It was inviting, comfortable, and had everything we could think of including sleds! (There was a privacy screen to put between the beds which was an added bonus). The Moody Mt. Cottage was the perfect location for a cozy winter getaway to hike and relax. We highly recommend staying here. You won’t be disappointed. Cait was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was special. We are so grateful!

Peter and Toby were very kind hosts. The Braeburn retreat is a beautiful space with great amenities and a homey feel. No need to be worried about if you packed what you need because they have so much covered! It was a chilly, rainy weekend so we took full advantage of the stove, fire pit, and extra blankets. Even with it being situated across from the host’s home, it still felt private when in the backyard space. Just be ready to have some dog guests when you arrive and while you’re grilling.

This is a little slice of paradise. I came here to do nothing, essentially--read & swim for a few days in beautiful, quiet surroundings. Diane was immediately welcoming with a warm greeting and quick tour. You have privacy here, but if you need anything, she is right next door. I couldn't recommend staying here more highly! Thanks, Diane! Andrew

A beautiful, clean and cozy apartment in a lovely wooded area of Camden! Many thoughtful touches and accommodations throughout. The property itself is well -kept, and the apartment windows look out onto amazing views of trees, ferns and leafy shrubs. A small table with two chairs on the outside boardwalk is a great place to take it all in, with a cup of tea! The bed was very comfortable, and the laundry area was a huge plus! Perfect for my one-night stay. Highly recommended.

My wife and I stayed here with our 5-month-old (not walking/crawling yet) for our first family road trip (which can be stressful) and Tara & Wallace made it a wonderful stay. It's a perfect spot on the peninsula to explore all the great restaurants, hikes, shops, etc between Blue Hill, Brooksville (Tinderhearth) Stonington, and Brooklin, which is exactly what we came for. The place was super comfortable, the sunsets were as described and the stars were fantastic. The host's responsiveness was especially helpful when I accidentally locked us out of the unit with a crying baby in the car! Would definitely stay again!

The Windhaven Guesthouse is a beautifully and thoughtfully decorated gem of a place, tucked in among the trees between two sections of stunning rocky beach and shoreline. The guesthouse isn't directly on the water but you can see the ocean through the trees and hear it night, and you have immediate access to private natural beaches to enjoy at your leisure. We explored several of Vinalhaven's Land Trust nature trails and sanctuaries, but enjoyed watching the tide come and go on the stretches of beach directly around the guesthouse very much as well. The gardens on the property are lovely as well. Just beautiful.

Aimee and David's place is new and beautifully done. We enjoyed meeting them both. Loved the place: The view, ease of access (once you find it the first time!), cleanliness, and the general layout. The kitchen has everything you need and there's plenty of storage available in the rooms and bathrooms. The bedrooms and bathrooms are identical so there was no discussion as to who gets the better view, etc.! Everything from the layout to the conveniences is well thought out. I loved having my morning coffee on the deck overlooking the Taunton bay. Thank you Aimee and David. I hope to go there again.

We had a wonderful stay at Bria’s place. It was the perfect size for 2 people, and had all sorts of extra toiletries available in case we forgot anything. We appreciated having a washer and dryer with detergent available. The bed and linens were very comfortable, and the room darkening shades were great. Parking and accessing the unit was simple and easy.

Wonderland was wonderful! Not only was the place immaculate and adorable but the location was perfect for privacy and peace! We felt right at home at Aarons and appreciated all the amenities including a delicious breakfast with THE BEST PASTRY EVER!!! Aaron knows the area very well and provided us with detailed maps and instructions to great sights that we would have never known of! Honestly this was the best airbnb we have ever stayed in.
