About this property

'Acadia Escape' a downtown home close to everything

Our home is on a quiet side street, one block off Main Street. Your vacation begins the moment you pull your car into the driveway, no need to search for parking. Acadia National Park and all that Bar Harbor has to offer are within walking distance. The well equipped kitchen which opens to a large backyard, spacious dining room, and living room, equipped with 42 in flat screen T.V.,VCR/DVD, stereo, card and board games are on the first floor. Upstairs has 3 bedrooms, 2 with queen beds, one with 2 twin beds, bathroom, plus a youth room with a pack and play. In the backyard relax as you watch the children play, or enjoy a game of badminton, fire up the gas grill for a cookout and enjoy your lobster dinner in the fresh salt air. After dinner walk two block to listen to a concert in the Village Green or browse the many shops and boutiques, another two blocks to watch the sunset over the ocean before coming home to tuck in to rest up for another day of relaxation and adventure.


Acadia Escape remodeled in 2008 : We have done lots of updates to our recently purchased home. All windows and doors have been replaced with energy efficient low e glass. An energy efficient furnace was also installed this year to help with green house gases and for your comfort. The electrical system has also been completely updated to all safety codes including smoke detectors in every room for your safety. In the bathroom the tub/shower enclosure has been newly tiled. The hardwood floors in the living area and the California pine floors on the entire second floor have all been sanded and refinished. As have all the original wood doors.

2012 we have upgraded, we have put a 42 inch HDTV and new pull out couch in the living area, also new carpet in dining room and new flooring in the bathroom.

Tennis lessons available: August Lozano is a USPTA certified tennis professional. I have been a teaching pro at the Ellsworth Tennis Center for 10 years. In 2008 I was ranked #1 in the State of Maine in the 45 and over. In 2006 I was ranked # 1 in the 35's and the 45's. I would be happy to hit or give a lesson during your stay.

Great Location

Loved being able to leave car in driveway and walk to town, or take the bus from the Village Green to the park. In busy times of the year, dealing with finding a parking spot is insanity, both in town and at the trail heads in the park. Less crazy about the only bathroom being upstairs, and the noise levels coming in from the street, even with windows closed. My knees were not happy to deal with the hike to the bathroom after hikes in the park. The stairs were well disclosed in the listing, however, and I simply did not anticipate them being problematic for our 60 ish year old knees.

Great property and location

This property is in an amazing location for a trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Downtown Bar Harbor is a 5 minute walk away and Acadia is within a few miles drive. House is spacious with all the features/amenities you want in a home away from home. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our trip and this property was a great home base for our adventures. Hosts were also amazing with great communication. Highly recommended!

Great location!

Super clean house, great location. It was exactly as pictured on the rental listing. Check in was simple. It is a great home base for exploring Bar Harbor (walk to everything!) and Acadia. We were so busy hiking, biking and enjoying the outdoors that we didn’t spend too much time in the house, but it was a relaxing and quiet spot for us to rest up for the next day’s activities. Definitely recommend! PS- Cafe This Way has the best pancakes!!

Incredible location, great place to stay

We had a great time staying at "acadia escape"! It was the perfect place to come home to after a day of hiking. My husband and I worked remotely and we both had plenty of space for our laptops and monitors. The location is SO convenient to the main streets of Bar Harbor but it's also in a quiet residential road -- the perfect combination! We couldn't be happier with our time there.

We stayed a week-our second visit The owners were there to welcome us and to let us know that they or their representatives would be available for questions or problems The house is commodious and has too many thoughtful and considerate features for me to list Thoroughly clean-beyond any vacation house that we have rented. Plenty of parking, so you are able to walk everywhere in town. Hard wood floors, An excellent kitchen, gas grill, outdoor or indoor seating

Wonderful Bar Harbor Property

Acadia Escape is a beautiful older home located within walking distance of the downtown shops and restaurants. We were glad to have off-street parking available, as parking in Bar Harbor can be a challenge. Augie and Maryellen were wonderful hosts, checking in with us shortly after our arrival. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely choose Acadia Escape again in the future!

Acadia getaway

We had a wonderful time at Acadia Escape. The best part was the location to town. We walked everywhere and utilized the island explorer throughout most of our stay to get into the park. The house is pretty simple and basic, but we weren’t there most of the time-we were out exploring the island.

Your hosts, Maryellen and Augie, are warm and considerate. The house is spotless and spacious. The house is convenient to everything in town--the Shore Path, restaurants, and Hannaford. If the buses are running, you won't need to take your car anywhere, significantly enhancing your vacation.
