Family Time
This is the second time staying at this property. The home is beautiful but requires updates. The appliances in the kitchen need to be updated, especially the oven and range top. The bed I slept in had a big dip in the center. One of the sofa's in the living room has no support left, needs to be replaced. The host was very nice and helpful. Saw a little to much of her. I don't think she was really comfortable with us not sure why, we treated her home with respect. It is a great location and it was plenty of room for my entire family.

Big house
This home is spacious. I will say it needs some updates better cooking area stove stop. We like to cook even on vacation. The back yard is nice the ducks and chickens that passed through were very entertaining. It is close to Arcadia and down the street is a restaurant on the water. Host is spectacular

Fabulous!
The house was perfect. It was spacious and clean. They even provided Q-tips and makeup wipes! The location was only 1-mile to the visitor center and about 3-miles to Bar Harbor. The neighbor's chickens and ducks were an added bonus, as were the deer & fawns found wondering the yard.

Great stay!
Overall, terrific property and one I’d recommend to any family. Close proximity to Bar Harbor and sits in a quiet neighborhood tucked away from any noise. It’s a bit of a compound where there’s 3-4 houses that share the same driveway which is the only thing that makes it not completely private.

Maine stay
Our family enjoyed the house with a large yard and deck. The house provides great sleeping options and bathrooms. Every area of the house was wonderfully decorated. The owner was lovely and if needed she was there to help us with any questions or hiccups. Best yet, the location to the park and downtown Bar Harbor, was perfect.

Great house. Very well equipped. We were 6 adults and 4 children 3 and under. There were lots of things at the house, including pack and plays , that helped us to avoid bringing extra things. Lots of lovely bedrooms. Wonderful backyard. It was a perfect week.

MAINE - THE BEAUTIFUL
This property is a great house for 5 couples to stay in when it is cool outside. The back patio is relaxing in the shade in the evening. If you want to shuttle into town, the Island Shuttle picks you up at the end of Crooked Rd, just a short walk. The neighbors are close, but never bothered us and were friendly. I would stay there again to go to Bar Harbor, and stay at the outskirts of town.

Wonderful home base for a week exploring Acadia and Mt Desert Island as a family reunion
What a nice place to stay. All the items we needed, large and small. We played cards at night at the big table, easily cooked meals, had easy access to Acadia, Bar Harbor and other fun places. Beds and bathrooms were great. Spacious, attractive, comfortable, clean, owners quick to respond.

Wonderful
Our extended family of 11 had a wonderful time staying at Orchard House. The grandchildren 1-5 yrs old loved playing outside in the meadow and with the collection of inside toys. There was plenty of space for everyone. The house was close to everything and yet in a quiet farm like setting. With plenty of windows in each room the air circulation and lighting were wonderful. The eclectic collection of artwork was a huge bonus. Highly recommended!

Hidden Gem on MDI
Too bad the weather was fantastic - sunny every day with a high temperature in the 70s and cool at night - because it meant we *had* to do the obligatory hike up Cadillac Mountain, bicycle riding the Carriage Roads (access is so close to the home), ferry ride to the Cranberry Isles searching for sea glass, dining at some of the best restaurants in Maine. Because we needed incentive to leave this wonderful property with ample room for the 11 of us. Well-stocked and well-appointed kitchen, beds were among the most comfortable on MDI. We could *not* ask for a better stay, or a better host.

Wondeful stay!
This house is indeed spacious and comfortable! You really feel like you're in a home. Plenty of parking (we had a minivan, two pickup trucks, and a sedan), and the yard and garden are beautiful. We very much enjoyed seeing the neighbor's ducks do their daily commute through the yard to a patch of vegetation to dine on. The house is perfectly located near enough Bar Harbor and Acadia to have everything be accessible while still having a private quiet setting. Patricia was a wonderful, friendly, and accomodating host. We would definitly recommend this property to anyone looking to vacation in Bar Harbor.

Serenity of the Orchard
The house was exceptional in layout, cleanliness, and Trish has it well stocked with basics like trash bags and paper towels. The house was clean, and adequate ratio of bedrooms to bathrooms. The house is tucked behind some neighbors who we didnt see. One side overlooks a historic apple orchard that exudes peacefulness. Trish was quick to respond to text messages. Everyone in our group of 11 enjoyed their stay. We hope to stay there again on our next trip.

Fantastic Location
My wife and I along with two other couples stayed at the Orchard House for five days and enjoyed every minute of it. The house is in a great location close to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park and local restaurants. The house is well equipped with all the necessitates and is very comfortable. Besides the great location we liked having three full bathrooms so each couple cold have their own. Tricia was great to work with both before and after our stay. She was very responsive to all my questions and made us feel very comfortable. I highly recommend the Orchard House as a go to location for a stay when visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

Bar Harbor Family stay
We felt comfortable with the location. Perfect location to get around Bar Harbor and use of free shuttles. Had a great time hiking, biking, cruising, and exploring the downtown. Lots of Ice Cream! The only issue that we want to bring up to the owner attention, is that they may want to clean the guest bathroom a bit better as there is additional grime around the bathtub and the appearance of a mushroom.

Perfect for a large family
The house has many bedrooms with queen size beds and a king as well with a master bath. It is appointed with artwork and tasteful decoration in every space. The location is perfect, close to Bar Harbor and Acadia. There is a large space in back of the house for playing and a large deck as well. The common area is spacious with plenty of seating and a dining room table. There is also a breakfast area table. The kitchen had ample dishes for our group of 7 adults and 2 children. It is a quiet location near Hull's Cove. Trish was responsive when an issue arose and it was quickly resolved. All in all, we enjoyed our stay very much. This house is perfect for a large family and/or friends.

Acadia Vacation
The Orchard House is the perfect place to stay with a larger group on Mount Desert Island. Check in/out was very easy. The house is conveniently located and is only a few minutes drive to Bar Harbor and close to two very good restaurants (The Chart Room and Lobster Bakes) that are right around the corner. The owner (Trish) is very nice and we were able to reach her easily when we needed her during our stay. The house was clean and spacious. It had several areas for people to gather and a large yard for the kids to run around in. We had 6 kids in our group, ages ranging from 11 months to 9 years. A pack n play and high chair are available to use at the house, which was helpful! All the adults and kids in our group had a great time and the kids kept asking when we can return to Maine and the Orchard House. Thank you, Trish, for a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Owner Patricia Ropp

Host profile image
The Orchard House, our home, began as a small photographers cottage down on the shore in Hulls Cove. Some time around the early 1900's the cottage was moved up to the orchard.

It escaped the Great Fire of Bar Harbor in 1947 but burned to the ground exactly 50 years later in 1997. We rebuilt the house, bigger this time because our family was growing and now the house's story has seen another change.

We look forward to welcoming guests to the Orchard House and for you to enjoy the house and its surroundings and become part of its story too.
