About this property

1-BR apt 0.5-mile to Acadia National Park & 1-mile to downtown

This 1BR apt is centrally located for great hiking, dining, and golfing. Ravens' Perch sits atop our detached 2-car garage, with its own enclosed entrance and outside parking spaces. The apartment is pet-friendly and a standard pet fee of $50 is initiated when you check that you are bringing a pet when booking.

There are stairs leading up to the apartment, so guests must be comfortable and able to climb. The apartment has a studio feel, but does have a separate bedroom for privacy. There is a queen bed in the bedroom, and a futon in the living room. Wifi allows for Amazon and Apple tv streaming. The kitchen space is small, but well equipped for most needs, including an oven. The bathroom has a shower and a washer/dryer unit. The unit is cooled/heated by a heat pump, so there is air conditioning available in the warmer months.

There is a (very) small side yard space for your use only, with a charcoal grill and propane fire pit. We have two river kayaks (only safe for freshwater) that you are welcome to borrow, but you must have means of transporting them (we do have foam supports and straps for your rack if need be).

The location is great, being a short (~8 min) bike ride to Acadia National Park's network of carriage paths, and an easy walk to town (~10-15 mins) so you can avoid parking fees. The Island Explorer passes right by the property, which will take you all over the island for free. There is a local seafood shop (Parson's) 4 doors down that is great for cooking at home, and Kebo Golf Course is practically next door.

Acadia base

The Perch rocked it as a base camp for the two of us. So inviting, great location, and well thought out by Jen. When we wished we had brought a few things, like hot cocoa or a cooler bag, we simply looked around and discovered how prepared our hosts were even when we failed. Sweet Acadia stay!

Bar Harbor & Acadia Trip

My girlfriend and I (and dog) enjoyed our stay at the “Raven’s Perch”. Everything was as advertised - clean, very well equipped and a great location for accessing downtown Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park and Mt. Desert Island. Our host, Jen, was very responsive. I would highly recommend this property!

We loved the Raven's Perch

We absolutely loved our time at the Raven's Perch. Our host Jen created such a comfortable, well decorated space with lots of thoughtful amenities that were greatly appreciated. Really close to Cadillac Mt entrance and the proximity to the center of Bar Harbor was perfect - walkable for most or a very short drive. We spent a lot of time outside, but were always very happy to come back to the "Perch" where we felt right at home. :-)

Raven’s Perch

Raven’s Perch in Bar Harbor exceeded all expectations! As listed the space is only 1 mile to downtown and easily accessible to all Acadia National Park has to offer. Jen has done a terrific job furnishing the 2nd floor space with everything needed be it for a short or extended stay. The accommodation is new, fresh, appealing and quite comfortable. Jen was a wonderful, personable host who offered many options for places to see and things to do during our 3nite stay. Recommend the Bar Harbor Inn for a relaxing late lunch overlooking the beautiful Harbor, the Ocean Trail hike in Acadia and Beals Lobster Pier in Southwest Harbor for lobsters of any size, blackened scallops and a nice selection of wine and draft beers. This was our first visit to Bar Harbor and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic pet-friendly stay near Acadia and Bar Harbor

This was the perfect location, close to the town of Bar Harbor and the entrance to Acadia. It was only a 5-minute drive to the Cadillac mountain entrance which was great for watching the sunrise at the summit. Bar Harbor was a short drive (or a 15-20 minute walk). The space was very comfortable and was a great place to relax after long days of hiking. It was very quiet throughout our stay and a great home base for exploring Acadia.

Perfect Dog Friendly Apartment

We love staying here with our pup. It is the perfect location to explore Acadia national Park and an easy walk to downtown Bar Harbor. The place had all the amenities needed. We even cooked at home one night super spotless. Includes washer and dryer and some nice welcome snacks we would definitely come back.

Merveilleux séjour

L'appartement était propre et tel que sur les photos. L'arrivée se fait avec un code - donc sans assitance. Les propriétaires habitent la maison à côté donc facilement accessible si il y a un problème. Très bien situé, près de tout.

Well Appointed and Quaint Bar Harbor Apartment.

We loved our time at Ravens Perch. Upon arrival we were greeted with a welcome basket with some goodies, a small gift, and a lovely note from our hosts (Jen & Gordon) which was a wonderful way to begin our stay. We noticed how perfectly appointed the apartment is. This cozy home away from home managed to have everything we could need. We enjoy eating out but love to cook in as well. Thanks to a well equipped kitchen, that even had spices you would typically need, our home cooked meals were full of flavor. The coffee table book Jen put together made us feel like fast friends as we learned about our hosts. It was also filled with lots of recommendations from restaurants to navigating Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. She was also very accommodating and responsive to any questions we had. We got to meet Jen on our last day as we were packing to leave and she was just a charming as her VRBO. We cannot wait to come back next year. Highest recommendations for anyone looking for a charming place to stay in Bar Harbor and around the corner from Acadia! Kerry & Rob Auburn, NH

Lovely Home Base to Explore Bar Harbor

Raven’s Perch was a perfect “nest” to explore Bar Harbor. It was an easy walk ti the town green for us to pick up the free LL Bean sponsored bus to tour Acadia. We hiked, explored, ate delicious food, swam, and landed every night to our cozy spot to unwind and prepare for the next day full of adventure. We enjoyed the little “ oasis” side yard to relax outside. Our stay was perfect in every way with great communication and every detail covered right down to great coffee in the unit and a cute welcome basket. A++ stay.
