First time in Bar Harbor

This was our first visit to Bar harbor and Acadia National Park. The house was perfect for our family. It was so convenient and we could walk everywhere. It was so clean and very well stocked. We had everything we needed and then some. The host was so accommodating because we had to come a day late due to a hurricane in Florida. We will definitely be back.

Bar Harbor and Acadia adventure

Great property for a visit to Acadia NP and Bar Harbor. There were 6 adults and we all loved the location of this house. You can’t get a better location. A grocery store that you can walk to…a restaurant across the street. Shopping and many restaurants just a short walk away. The house is super comfortable and is stocked so well with everything you need. We all agreed that we would go back. Communication with the owner was great.

Location! Location! Location!

This was the perfect place to stay for our week in Bar Harbor and Acadia. There is a grocery store right across the street. The Sand Bar/Bar Island is just 2 blocks away and is a must see for tide pooling and hiking. There is a great restaurant literally less than 5 steps away for breakfast, lunch or dinner.It was really good! Kim was very helpful throughout the stay. The house is stocked with everything you need. We have stayed in rentals when this hasn’t always been the case.You are sure to enjoy your trip when staying here!

Great location and home

This property was everything we expected it to be. Everything was within walking distance and had something for everyone to do. The house was clean and well kept. The host checked in on us just to make sure we had everything we needed, and let us know about all the information that is at the house to help us plan our days. This was our first time visiting BarHarbor and we all had an amazing time. Can’t wait to come back and stay here again! This house is in the perfect location if you want to just park your car and walk, which we did a lot of! Thank you for opening your home to us!

Great property-heart of bar harbor!

Outstanding well equipped home walking distance to everything in bar harbor, but just far enough away! Property is settled into a quiet street minutes away from shopping, shore path, and bar island sand bridge. Awesome roof deck, sleeping areas and tons of space in the living areas. Quick drive to ANP loop road and everything the park has to offer. Property manager was excited to let us know about many of the great hikes and activities in the park and bar harbor, including awesome restaurant 15 feet away from the front door….the black friar. Best meal we had all week! Vrbo only has a five star rating, but we give this location and th open communication with property owner 12 stars. Thanks for an awesome visit!

Lovely cottage at normally quiet end of bar harbor

Roomy and comfortable this 3 bed/2 bath home was very comfortable for our week in Bar Harbor. East walking distance from everything we wanted to do in town, very close to grocery and many good close by restaurants. Great beds and terrific water pressure in showers. Location ideal for spending time in Acadia NP. Our only complaint which the owners of course can’t control was the noise from the massive construction project directly across the street. It started every morning during the week at 7am. Guessing it will be completed later this year and then it won’t be an issue.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Zarra Wieler

Bill and Kim Wieler are from Cheshire, CT. We carry on the tradition in the spirit and memory of our dear friends Carrie and Tom Witt by offering a place to stay for others to experience and enjoy Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We hope that you too by your visit to Bar Harbor and stay at Bar Harbor Cottage develop a deep appreciation and love for Bar Harbor and Acadia ~ one of the world’s most beautiful places.

Why they chose this property

The story begins with Tom & Carrie Witt, from Hamden, CT. Carrie and Tom both fell in love with Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park on their honeymoon in October 1995. They came back every year and purchased the cottage in 2004. Over the years, when the cottage wasn’t being rented by visitors Carrie and Tom shared their home, love, knowledge, and stories of Acadia with family and friends. It was during one of these visits that Carrie and Tom first introduced friends, Kim & Bill Wieler to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Much time was spent outdoors biking, hiking, cross country skiing and snowshoeing in and around the park, crossing the sand bar at low tide to reach Bar Island to enjoy the fields of lupine on their way to the top to view the harbor or by exploring downtown Bar Harbor and surrounding areas. Kim and Bill have been coming back ever since. Sadly, Tom passed away in 2010 and then Carrie in 2012. Their love for Asygarth Cottage and Acadia never diminished. They both found joy, peace, strength, and endless courage in the quiet trails and majestic vistas of Acadia. Kim and Bill will be forever grateful for their friendship and hospitality and now would like to welcome you to Bar Harbor Cottage.
