About this property

Spacious in-town cottage w/home office. Walk everywhere from your front steps.

Spindrift Cottage is located on a quiet side street in downtown Bar Harbor. Recently remodeled with careful attention to detail, this Victorian home will welcome you and offer a place to relax and unwind while you enjoy all the beauty of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor village.

Traveling with a young family? You will appreciate the children's books and toys, gate at the top of the stairs and sandbox on the back deck.

Need to take your work with you? Spread out in the large, dedicated office space with two desks, plenty of shelves and high-speed wireless internet to keep you connected.

Flat screen TVs, DVD player, cable television, and a variety of games and books are available for those times when you prefer to stay home.

A fully stocked kitchen makes it easy for you to prepare a meal and the large dining room is great for entertaining and sharing special moments. Plenty of outdoor seating is provided on the private patio area for those nice days that beg to be enjoyed outdoors.

After a day of adventure in the park, relax in the luxurious soaking tub. All the towels and soaps and hairdryers are available for you.

We want you to be comfortable and fully enjoy your stay and love Bar Harbor as much as we do. The property manager is nearby and happy to assist with making your time here delightful.

Bar Harbor
Fabulous house; clean, quiet and very comfortable. Can walk to the harbor and see sunset and sunrise. Walk to Bar Island Path, grocery store, cute shops and restaurants. Acadia National Park is a short ride way. Can hike the south and north Bubbles, ride or hike up Cadillac Mountain, many hiking trails, visit Sand Beach, eat at Lobster Pound. Wonderful place. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely Week in Bar Harbor
We had a fantastic stay at this home. Great location that is quiet and just steps from town. Beautiful space that fit a number of adults well. Parking for more than 2 cars is difficult, but everything was basically perfect.

Great location in bar harbor for a large family trip with 11
Really great location. Everything in bar harbor is walkable which is great so you aren’t dealing with parking. Easy access to activities on the water and to the national park. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking. Host was easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend.

Bar Harbor House - supreme location
The house was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed and more. The proximity to Acadia was supreme. It was an easy walk to the grocery store, bike rental shops, the explorer bus and to Bar Harbor shops. A fun place for a getaway with friends.

Perfect Location
We loved the house and proximity to both town and Acadia. The grocery is around the corner with reasonable prices. There are 2 bakeries and a french restaurant very close by and are delicious. The town green and the Harbor areas are a 5 min walk. We were traveling with myself and husband and 4 20’s kids and the house fit us perfectly.

Excellent rental
Overall very positive stay in Bar Harbor. The house was perfect for 2 couples. It was unfortunate that the stove had a broken knob that forced them to shut off the stove/gas but communications were very good on this problem. Property location is extremely convenient to the park and to downtown Bar Harbor (less than 3 blocks). We were also relieved that the park was open and the government shut down had been averted.

A little wedding in Bar Harbor
There were 11 people exactly at this wedding by the seawall, and, oddly enough, the dining room table could seat exactly that. (We moved the lovely desk in the foyer to the top of the table and the newlyweds sat there--and there was still lots of room to to move around!) Such a lovely home, with clean and pretty rooms. The bathrooms are so well arranged. The third floor has sets of twin beds, so it's better for children. The kitchen is well stocked (and yes, there is a lobster pot and claw crackers). And right in the center of Bar Harbor!
