About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Sunny , cozy 1-bedroom, wooded, private, central Island location, close to ocean

One bedroom with queen-sized bed, living room, one small bath with tub and shower. There is a small refrigerator & Keurig; no kitchen. Free wi-fi, but no television. A wi-fi "extender" has resolved the wi-fi problems some commenters have written about. There is a large couch which a toddler or a very young child would be comfortable sleeping on, but it is not a fold-out bed. This unit is above our garage with separate entrance via an outside staircase, please see pictures. If anyone has mobility issues, this is not the place for you! Includes access (up two steps) to a screened in balcony.

We are located in the Town Hill area. BH downtown is a 15-20 minute drive from here, using the charmingly and accurately named "Crooked Road." NE and SW Harbors and Ellsworth, are also each about a 15-minute drive away. It is an easy 10-minute walk to Maine Coast Heritage Trust's "Blue Horizons" Reserve to reach the ocean, and the Blagdon Nature Reserve is a 5-minute drive.
During your stay at this apartment building, you'll be within walking distance of Atlantic Brewing Company. The apartment includes amenities such as free WiFi and a fireplace.

Bucket List Trip

This was a wonderful place to stay for my Bucket List Trip to Mount Desert Island. The location is just what I needed to relax and unwind. The hosts check in on me via text to ensure that I had everything needed. There spot in the forest was like a trip back to a time of wizards, fairies and knight.

The pictures do not do this place justice. Very clean and on a gorgeous property. Close to everything you’d want to do on the island. We also tried a few of the restaurants recommended by our host and enjoyed them all!

Little apartment near Acadia

This was a neat little apartment in the woods and our stay was very comfortable! The bed slept well and the temperature control was simple and worked very well. Only thing we missed was a microwave. Otherwise very convenient! It was also within a short distance of Acadia National Park and made a very handy spot to return to each evening.

This property was stunning and I loved getting to enjoy the peacefulness of it surrounded by trees. The location couldn’t have been better and was so convenient to everything on Mount Desert Island. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.

Cozy and Quiet

Very lovely spot in a quiet wooded area with a great central location on the island. Comfortable and clean. There were magical tiny lights on the large trees outside that made it fun. Also come nice walking trails nearby. We loved it there and would definitely go back.

Cozy place to stay!

The unit is above a garage. There's plenty of privacy and it's very well set up, provided that you don't expect to cook food - which the hosts tell you is not allowed. There is a small fridge, hot pot and Keurig with mugs, paper cups, utensils etc. We had every convenience we wanted and greatly enjoyed our stay. It is only about 15 minutes from Acadia National Park.

Peaceful Retreat

This property is perfect for a solo traveler. It is peaceful and quiet but close to Acadia National Park as well as Bar Harbor. Barbara was such a great host, with all kinds of tips about the area and information about the NP. Sometimes, I navigated only from her directions without using GPS! I even got suggestions prior to going on the trip which really helped in planning! The apartment has many little extras such as a Keurig and a well-stocked bookshelf. The bed is comfortable and the property is beautiful with fairie lights in the trees welcoming you back if you arrive after dark. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location to Acadia National Park

We stayed here for two nights while visiting Acadia and Bar Harbor. The guest suite was impeccably clean and had everything to make us comfortable. It was a nice place to come back to after long hikes and crowds in town because it was private and peaceful. Very enjoyable!

Quiet, convenient stay near Acadia NP

The host was easy to reach and gave us heads up on where to book reservations early for special sights( Cadillac Mountain and Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden), location was only 15-20 minutes from key sights, accommodation offered good value. Be aware that there are steep steps and a tight bathroom. However, the unit was the perfect place for our timing and budget.

Magical haven at Acadia

Best vacation hideaway! The studio was just what I had hoped! Located in the woods, quiet, yet central to Bar Harbor and Acadia. It was clean and sunny. Barbara and David are FABULOUS hosts! They respected my privacy, yet were available to answer any questions I had. Their suggestions on restaurants, hikes, and must sees were awesome! There is no TV, which may be difficult for some. It was a perfect way for me to unplug, relax and catch up on some reading. Several other reviews mentioned adding a microwave to reheat leftovers. While it would have been helpful, it definitely was not a deal breaker. There is a Keurig as well as an electric hot water kettle. It was great to be able to enjoy coffee or tea in my down time. I wish I could give them more stars. I am so hopeful to return to explore more of Acadias beauty. I will be sure to stay at Barbara and David’s getaway haven! Thank you for a magical stay!!

Exactly as advertised/excellent host

The location is very private, but it is still very close to the location’s attractions. Our host was excellent. Communication was quick and helpful, the property was clean and well stocked, and check-in/check out was simple. The only thing I can think of that would improve the property would be a microwave.
