About this property

Bar Harbor downtown suite features covered deck with waterview

Your suite is walkable to all of downtown yet has a large private deck for relaxing after a day in Acadia National Park. Acadia surrounds downtown Bar Harbor, and you can even see Bar Island from your suite.

From your furnished deck you can view the rocky coast of Acadia, schooners, whale watch & lobster boats, colorful sunrises & sunsets.

Your spacious suite includes kitchen, living area, WiFi, cable/dvd, AC. Amenities, from wine glasses to picnic baskets, enhance your visit.

Stroll the historic waterfront to shopping, boating, hiking and great dining. At low tide you can walk across 'the bar' to the top of Bar Island, which is in Acadia National Park. From Bar Island you will see the bay, village and mountains. You will even see your suite.

The waterview suite truly offers what we call 'B&B hospitality with hotel privacy'.
Bar Harbor is a pedestrian's dream. You can actually park your car in your designated spot and never have to drive: walk to grocery store, natural foods store, Sunday farmer's market, boating activities, museums, restaurants and galleries.

Day hikes for all abilities are offered. You can kayak with Registered Maine Guides or enjoy some of the county's best Whale Watching. 50 miles of car-free bicycles trails are available for your enjoyment. Meet the artists at fine art and craft galleries. Dine in numerous fine restaurants or on your own private waterview deck.

While we book mostly to couples, this unit is suitable for bringing along a child or another family member. There is a separate king bedroom plus a pull-out sofa in the living room area.

Check in is 4 pm on Saturday. Check out is promptly at 10 am with the next check-in no earlier than 4 pm allowing sufficient time to open doors and windows for airing out the unit and to property clean by State of Maine guidelines.

The Perfect Vacation
The property is as amazing as all of the reviews state. You could not ask for a better location. You are within an easy walk to everything in Bar Harbor. The view from this suite is amazing! The suite is well stocked with everything you will need. As other reviews have stated this property is extremely clean. Sherry is amazing to work with and is a wealth of information if you need it. After spending the week here, it is also very important that off street parking is provided with the rental. It should also be noted that Acadia national park is very close to this rental. 15 minutes and you are at your parking location in Acadia. This property is almost always booked. If you somehow find an open date that works for you, book it. We found out how lucky we were to be able to rent this amazing place. It was a perfect vacation and will always be remembered as such. The only item that could be an issue for some people is that you do need to go up three flights of stairs. Not an issue for us, and trust me the view is worth it.

Best vacation rental in Bar Harbor
My husband and I recently enjoyed a stay at Alone Moose! Ivan and Sher were more than accommodating. You can tell that they take great pride in their property, as it was spotless and well appointed with many necessities. The best part is by far the view from the deck, which we spent hours on each day! We have rented many different properties in Bar Harbor and we have found our new favorite. Looking forward to returning next summer!

Perfection In Bar Harbor
My wife and I just spent 2 weeks in Maine after celebrating our daughter's wedding. Bar Harbor was the crowning event in our trip, and staying in Sher and Ivan's apartment for a week was a real jewel in the crown. The accomodations were perfect for our needs.: a spacious, immaculate and well provisioned apartment; a perfect in-town close-to-everything location with a reserved parking place and a balcony overlooking the harbor (where we drank coffee and watched the world wake up every mornng); abundant high quality linens and a washer/dryer in the hall. And best of all lovely, accomodating hosts who gave us enough "what to do and see" tips to fill much more than our one week. We will definitely return to this little slice of heaven.

Wonderful retreat with scenic harbor view
Property is well kept and immaculate. Kitchen provisioned with everything needed to prepare meals. Nice dishes, beautiful linens and a really comfortable bed along with the covered porch make for a special retreat with gorgeous views of the harbor. Convenient downtown location, but still quiet inside suite.

Perfect stay in Bar Harbor!
We have nothing but FIVE STARS for our stay with Sher and Ivan last week. My husband and I traveled to Bar Harbor for the first time and this spot right on the waterfront was the perfect place to stay. The apartment was more than comfortable for two, including a luxurious king bed and deck with a water view, where we enjoyed coffee every morning before we started the day. The reserved off-street parking made it easy to go to our different Acadia spots for the day, then come home and leave the car to walk to all the dining options that downtown has to offer. Communication with Sher was easy and she had many great suggestions - I particularly enjoyed visiting some galleries she recommended on an afternoon my husband had to work. Thank you for a lovely stay, we will be back!

Wonderful stay in Bar Harbor!!
My husband and I had a wonderful time in Bar Harbor and Acadia. Apartment is spacious and comfortable, and the location is great and overlooks the harbor. Really convenient private parking nearby and decent coffee shop downstairs. Sherry was a great host and sent lots of helpful recommendations. We are already talking about the next time we can visit!

Highly recommended
It was bigger than I expected and nicely furnished and clean. Great view of the harbor from the balcony. Extremely convenient location downtown near all the shops, restaurants, and tours. The value of having a dedicated parking spot in downtown Bar Harbor should not be underestimated. Kitchen was well equipped. There was an abundance of high quality towels. TV and wifi worked fine, though understandably the wifi is weak on the balcony. This suite is on the third floor, which might be a concern for anyone with mobility issues but was fine for us.

The listing doesn’t do it justice!
This apartment is a little slice of heaven! It is centrally located with a fabulous view of the harbor. Everything you need is within walking distance and it is a short drive to the park. Sherry was fantastic as a host. She made the whole process easy and provided us many recommendations. I highly recommend this listing. We had considered something on the water outside of bar harbor and we are so glad we went with this option instead. The parking spot and laundry were great to have. The bed is very comfortable. Don’t hesitate - book it!

Perfect 30-year anniversary destination!
We were more than pleased with our rental! Sherry & Ivan were great hosts and the communication was fast (texting, emailing and calling). Sherry was very helpful in suggestions, she was there when we needed her, and she was probably our best VRBO host ever! The listing is very accurate, the location can't be beat, the property was spotless, the bed was comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, the bathroom had plenty of towels, the views were beautiful (pictures really do not do this place justice), the deck had a wonderful view, and the parking on-site was an added bonus --- you really can't go wrong in staying here! We are already discussing our next trip! Other than the mask mandate, the trip was perfect! It's hard to get a feel for the people of Maine when they're hidden behind a mask but that couldn't be helped and just another reason to visit again - when life returns to normal! We had originally planned to visit in May of this year but the country was shut down for a bit but this place was well worth the wait! Thank you Sherry & Ivan for sharing your home with us! We are blessed to be able to make memories there in Bar Harbor! Until next time...God bless you!

Amazing all around!
Everything about our experience staying at Art on West in Bar Harbor was amazing! Our hosts are professional, friendly, and answered all of our questions prior to and during our stay. The condo was spacious, clean, and has everything you may need during your stay. Its location in the heart of Bar Harbor was superb and within walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. Acadia Park's Jordan Pond and Eagle Lake are short distance drives. Bar Island is less than a 5-minute walk. It was a unique experience walking the sand bar and we did a few times. The best part was the condo's balcony overlooking Bar Harbor and watching life go by as you enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine during sunset. We are already planning our next year's visit and hope to be able to stay here. Again, thank you Sher and Ivan for allowing us to stay in your beautiful property. We made some great memories!

You can't beat the location of this suite, which has a beautiful balcony view of the water and easy walking distance to all that downtown Bar Harbor has to offer. Private parking makes things even easier, as you don't have the hassle of trying to find a space. The suite itself is very clean and is plenty big enough for 2 people, with a good sized bedroom and nice seating area, while the kitchen has all the essentials for cooking. Sherry was great at communicating and the whole process was very easy. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

We are so thankful that Sherry and Ivan shared this special place with us. They were the most wonderful hosts. The apartment was so clean and spacious. The view was spectacular.

About the host

Hosted by Sherry Rasmussen

Host profile image

We have been involved the ARTs in Bar Harbor since the early 1970’s and participate in local ART events such as First Friday ART walks. Ivan, who was once Bar Harbor Harbormaster, has spent most of his life near the ocean first in his native Oregon and now on Mount Desert Island, home to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

Sherry traveled extensively as an international flight attendant.Though her travels took her to many beautiful destinations, she says that Mount Desert Island is truly one of the world's treasures.

The beauty of the island is what drew us to Bar Harbor. The magic of the island will captivate you as well.

Ivan captures the beauty of the Acadia in his watercolors that he sells in his own 'ART on West' and other galleries.

Bar Harbor is one of Maine's most walkable communities so we live right in the downtown for the convenience of walking to movies, theater, dining, boating, shopping and more. Like us, our visitors walk or bike into Acadia National Park. A free bus runs from mid-June to mid-October from the Village of Bar Harbor into Acadia National Park and to neighboring Villages. We are often asked if Bar Harbor is near Acadia National Park. Our downtown is surrounded by Acadia National Park and the nearby Bar Island is just a short walk from your suite. Did you know that the 'bar' to Bar Island is the reason for the name of Bar Harbor? You can see Bar Island from your suite. It is one of several islands of Acadia and the only one that is walkable from Bar Harbor!

We love to share our community and island with visitors from around the world. We are always nearby to get you started on a perfect vacation.

Why they chose this property

The best feature of the unit is the furnished covered private deck with waterview and, of course, there is so much room in the suite. For your convenience there is private, off street parking with the amenities of the world renowned Village of Bar Harbor are all walkable.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. Your suite is located on the West Street Waterfront and close to Bar Harbor's fine restaurants, galleries, and boating activities. You can watch the horse drawn carriages when they come into town for wedding or special events.There is a free self guided walking tour called 'Museum in the Streets'. You can jump on the tour at the neighboring Bar Harbor Club or anywhere in town to learn the history of our hometown.
