About this property

Walk to Acadia! Maine Farmhouse 2025: 3 night min May-Labor Day

Smack dab between Northeast Harbor (5 min) and Bar Harbor (10 min) this fully renovated Maine home has all the comforts of a new home with all the charm of a historic maine farmhouse. Giant tub and rain shower downstairs, spa shower with dual water heads upstairs, fully stocked chef's kitchen, granite fireplace are among the features to make your stay comfortable.

The home is conveniently located on Sound drive on a 1.5 wooded acre lot with a beautiful flower garden, mature lilac bushes and crabapple trees. A short walk along Sound Drive to the entrance of the Giant Slide Trail brings you directly into Acadia National Park for hiking and a five minute ride in either direction brings you to Eagle Lake or Upper Hadlock for biking. Acadia at your fingertips (and hiking boots)!

After a day of hiking and popovers at the Jordan Pond House, put your lobsters on to boil while the family gathers around the square dining table (seats 8, dishes, silver and linens for 12-16) then its over to the fireplace for drinks, snacks and games or choose a movie from the huge dvd selection... A perfect end to a perfect day in Acadia...

Three second floor bedrooms with 1 King, 1 queen size bed and 1 full size bed and gorgeous linens sleep two each and share a full bathroom. The 3rd floor bedroom has its own half bath and has four twin beds. *Please note: in 1910, hallways were not a thing. The master bedroom is completely separate, but the 2 back bedrooms and the third floor bedrooms are connected by doorways and you have to walk though rooms to get the other rooms. An additional full bath with separate bathing area and claw foot tub with rain shower is located on the first floor.

A truly comfortable and serene home, well behaved pets will be considered.

*Other notes: a max of 2 parking spaces are provided
*I price the nightly stay below the average because I understand that you can hear road noise. The town repaved our little two lane road that was once a horse path and now it is too tempting to fly by on it. I have been lobbying to get the speed limit reduced but in the meantime, I have put in noise reducing curtains in the front rooms.

Fantastic location and place

Myself, my 3 sisters and mom stayed here for four nights. We had a great time. We had no issues with the walk through rooms on the second floor, we just left doors open in case anyone needed the bathroom. The master was private though. We also used the twin beds in the attic which does have its own half bath. While rooms had no AC we left windows open till bed time then closed them at night to block the street noise which was super minimal at night. 3rd floor attic was the warmest, so be sure to open the windows early too cool off. We turned fans on high which blocked any remaining noise and kept it cool. No curtains on rooms other than master, so light does come in early, but was fine for us. Kitchen was stocked with everything you’d need to cook and bathrooms were clean. Shower head was good for a tall person. 20 minutes or less to anywhere on the island and less than 15 to Bar Harbor. Acadia just down the road.

Charming Maine Getaway

Lovely place to stay for a country Maine experience, and very accessible to Acadia’s hiking trails (Giant Slide Trail, challenging boulder scramble!). Well-stocked kitchen (spices galore) and living room (games, books). We didn’t find coffee or toiletries but brought our own. Instructions were very clear. Property owner was very responsive with communications. Abel’s Lobster Pound nearby was a superbly scenic place to enjoy a delicious dinner and refreshing drinks the first night!

We had a lovely stay at this charming vintage farmhouse located close to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, and Northeast Harbor. The location was ideal for exploring the area, and the peaceful surroundings made for a relaxing home base.The home was clean overall, and the kitchen was well-equipped with appliances, making meal prep easy. We especially appreciated the beautiful flowers outside — a lovely touch that made the place feel welcoming.The upstairs bedrooms did get a bit warm during the day, but the provided fans made it comfortable enough for sleeping. The beds were decent, and the pack ’n play with a mattress was perfect for our baby — a thoughtful addition that made traveling with a little one much easier.If you enjoy a vintage, cozy atmosphere with easy access to Acadia and nearby towns, this farmhouse is a great choice.

We love our stay. If you are looking for a two story center hall colonial, this is not your house. If you are looking for a taste of old time Maine, this is your house. I sum it up as old time meets modern fusion. Funky layout. That’s the old farm house charm. We two adults with two adult children liked it. Loved the kitchen. This is the modern part. We enjoyed the living room with a family movie each night. While you are not walking into the main entrance of Acadia, it was convenient not to drive to one of our hikes. We walked the 0.2 miles down the road and onto Giant Slide Trail, which turns from moderate to advanced, so be prepared if you hike this trail. House is on a secondary road and you will get road noise from traffic. Long hikes and good food turned into sound sleep for us. Back and forth to Bar Harbor was an easy drive. Loved Tracy’s information she provides in run up to your stay. Met Tracy on our way out. She is fabulous.

Roomy Stay in Acadia

My husband, two toddlers, and I visited Acadia the week of Memorial Day and had a great stay at the Farmhouse. It is conveniently located in the middle of Acadia so all areas are easy to get to. The house was clean and cozy and would have comfortably fit one or two more families. The kitchen was fully stocked so we were able to eat most of our meals at the house.

Lovely home with easy access to everything

The home’s proximity to Bar Harbor and various points of interest in the park itself was great. I only wish we had more time to explore the quiet side. Owner was very responsive and the home was immaculate and thoughtfully appointed. The road noise was not a problem with fans running at night and the windows closed. I would worry about the bedrooms being hot during warmer months, but I would love to return in the Fall sometime!

Traditional NE Farmhouse

The Farmhouse is ideally located close to the park, NE Harbor and the road to Bar Harbor. It is on a busy road and you can hear the road noise inside the house, however it becomes white noise after a while. It is not as busy at night. There is parking behind the house but can only fit 2 cars in a row since the owner parks on the other side of the gravel lot. The inside of the house is beautifully decorated and the downstairs communal area with living room, dining room and kitchen is air-conditioned. The large kitchen is well equipped with a double oven and two fridges. One of the full baths is off the kitchen. Like many NE houses, the upstairs bedrooms are not air-conditioned and opening windows and turning on fans helps with the summer heat. Only the master bedroom is private although the mattress was not as comfortable. The other bedrooms have double beds and are walk through bedrooms including the attic with 4 single beds and a half bath (perfect for kids). There is a full bath on the second floor by the bedrooms. The owner, Tracey, is responsive to requests and provides detailed instructions on everything in the house. We enjoyed our stay at this quaint traditional Maine Farmhouse.

The house served our purposes well, especially the central location and excellent kitchen and cozy living room. Two items that should be more fully described on the web are the intrusion of the loud road traffic noise and the third floor bedroom being accessed only through the second floor bedroom.
