About this property

Walk to Acadia! Maine Farmhouse 2025: 3 night min May-Labor Day

Smack dab between Northeast Harbor (5 min) and Bar Harbor (10 min) this fully renovated Maine home has all the comforts of a new home with all the charm of a historic maine farmhouse. Giant tub and rain shower downstairs, spa shower with dual water heads upstairs, fully stocked chef's kitchen, granite fireplace are among the features to make your stay comfortable.

The home is conveniently located on Sound drive on a 1.5 wooded acre lot with a beautiful flower garden, mature lilac bushes and crabapple trees. A short walk along Sound Drive to the entrance of the Giant Slide Trail brings you directly into Acadia National Park for hiking and a five minute ride in either direction brings you to Eagle Lake or Upper Hadlock for biking. Acadia at your fingertips (and hiking boots)!

After a day of hiking and popovers at the Jordan Pond House, put your lobsters on to boil while the family gathers around the square dining table (seats 8, dishes, silver and linens for 12-16) then its over to the fireplace for drinks, snacks and games or choose a movie from the huge dvd selection... A perfect end to a perfect day in Acadia...

Three second floor bedrooms with 1 King, 1 queen size bed and 1 full size bed and gorgeous linens sleep two each and share a full bathroom. The 3rd floor bedroom has its own half bath and has four twin beds. *Please note: in 1910, hallways were not a thing. The master bedroom is completely separate, but the 2 back bedrooms and the third floor bedrooms are connected by doorways and you have to walk though rooms to get the other rooms. An additional full bath with separate bathing area and claw foot tub with rain shower is located on the first floor.

A truly comfortable and serene home, well behaved pets will be considered.

*Other notes: a max of 2 parking spaces are provided
*I price the nightly stay below the average because I understand that you can hear road noise. The town repaved our little two lane road that was once a horse path and now it is too tempting to fly by on it. I have been lobbying to get the speed limit reduced but in the meantime, I have put in noise reducing curtains in the front rooms.

Cozy farmhouse

Farmhouse was clean and in a good location to get to park destinations. Was nice to be close to the trails but outside the crowded bar harbor. Would definitely rent again.

Great Location for Exploring Acadia

We enjoyed our stay at the farmhouse. It’s in a perfect location to explore all of the towns and park—nothing is more than 15minutes. It is even nicer than the pictures and had everything we needed. Plenty of space and a well stocked kitchen. Tracey was helpful and responsive!

Wonderful stay

We had a great stay at Tracey's beautiful home. The kitchen was so well stocked with 2 fridges and all the utensils you would need (and a grill outside). The home was beautiful and comfortable. It was also in a great location, close to great hikes and Bar Harbor. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Stay

We loved our stay at Watersigns! The house was the perfect size for our group of 7, and we loved the proximity to Acadia as well as Bar Harbor and other surrounding areas. The kitchen was amazing for the nights we stayed in to cook, and we enjoyed being able to gather in the living room and dining room when we weren’t out hiking or exploring.

Great Experience

We loved our stay at Tracey’s place. It was the perfect spot between Bar Harbor and Acadia national park. It felt very close to everything, while still giving you privacy. The house is clean and quaint. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed the fireplace in the mornings. I would definitely go back!
