Great place to stay to explore Acadia

Just me and my son (22). This was a great place to use as our base for exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor. Having a parking spot was a game changer. Host is responsive and the bungalow is in the heart of town, while also peaceful. Also loved having some private outdoor space. Recommend!

Bar Harbor Hideaway

Ann's very well set-up one-bedroom apartment is very attractive, comfortable, and well-located in the heart of Bar Harbor. During our visit in the middle of fall, we were able to cook full meals and dry our clothes made wet by showers. All 3 of us with our 2 medium-sized dogs slept soundly, and we loved being so close to the town common.

Another great stay

We enjoyed our 3rd time staying at Ann’s bungalow! The bungalow is in a great location in the center of Bar Harbor, allowing you to walk everywhere in town and not have to worry about paying for parking. Even though it’s in the middle of everything, is really quiet. It’s clean and quiet, and exactly as pictured in the listing. Plus Ann is very sweet! Thank you for another great year! Beth & Ed

Great Stay in Bar Harbor!

Our stay was amazing! You can't beat the location as you are right in the center of town, close to food/shopping and a short drive to Acadia National Park. Although you are right in town the unit was very private and quiet. Ann was great and very welcoming! This will be our main stay for our annual trips to Bar Harbor moving forward!

Great Location, beautiful setting

We loved our stay in Bar Harbor. Ann was so kind and let us check in early. Our unexpected welcome basket and note was so touching, generous and thoughtful. The location could not be beat. Pet friendly gated front yard was awesome. Ann even provides a dog bed and water bowl. We appreciated the laundry room too after our hikes in Acadia. So walkable to church, town, Bar Island at low tide and there is even a lovely breakfast spot right outside. Also a huge plus is a free parking spot. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!!

Amazingly quiet

Although this apartment is in the center of town, once you're inside you could be in a remote forest! Except for hearing the rain fall, it was exceptionally quiet. We've been coming to the area for about 40 years but had never rented in town, so this was a new experience. Ann lives in the same building and was very accessible. I texted her once about what to do with reyclables and she got right back to me. It rained a lot for the 2 weeks that we stayed (we loved it-- the coastline seems more dramatic and the lighting is great for photos) so there were times when we stayed in and read or played cards before heading out again. The kitchen is a good size and we made most of our meals. Shower was excellent!

My husband and I spent a wonderful week at the bungalow. The place was perfect- very comfortable, clean and spacious with a location that can’t be beat. Ann was a lovely host and very responsive to our calls. She was very welcoming to us and our dog, who also seemed to enjoy his stay 😊. We will definitely return next year!

Bar Harbor Happiness

The location was right in the middle of the village and you can walk all over town from there. The apartment was clean and simply furnished with all you need. A good firm bed and a shower with great water pressure and ample hot water. Top it all off with a designated parking spot!!! Parking is a premium in Bar Harbor. We were greeted with a personalized not and welcome basket:) We will be back!

Awesome

This is a great rental. Hidden on a quiet street with only foot traffic on their way to Café this way. This café is great to eat at kind of hard not to you’ll smell the breakfast cooking as you leave the unit in the morning. The host then gave us a complementary basket with cheese fruit and wine. A very nice welcome after a long drive from Boston. I would definitely stay here again. My wife and I and our Jack Russell peanut Had a wonderful stay.

Perfect in town location

Being right in downtown Bar Harbor with a dedicated parking spot makes your vacation stress free! After exploring all day, it's nice to come back to town and not worry about parking, being able to walk to dinner, to get coffee, or explore the shore path.

Besides location and having one of the best breakfast places tucked away outside your door Ann is a Love! Not only did she accommodate us in many ways she went above and beyond by sending my toiletry bag I left behind and woke me up to leave after I ignored my 6am alarm! She knew I had a 50th birthday party to attend in ct that same day. :) Place is clean and exactly as described with a few extra warm surprises! Sit back, relax and enjoy.

Perfect location and stay for a couple looking to unwind

My wife, dog, and I had a fabulous stay at Ann’s property. The proximity to restaurants, shopping, and ice cream shops was ideal. The place itself is plenty big for 2 and has great features; two big closets, shower with great pressure & heat, large laundry and dryer, large fridge and freezer with ice maker. We loved sitting outside on the shaded porch relaxing after our mornings in Acadia National Park, which was only a 10 minute drive. Our dog Gus was extremely also extremely well accommodated with a bed, water bowl, and treat upon arrival. Not to mention we loved our welcome basket as well that Ann provided. We hope we get a chance to visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Ann Anda

After living in NYC for what must have been ever, I finally retired to this amazing place in 2001. And what a good decision that turned out to be. I love living in Bar Harbor year round, hiking, biking, skiing, going to Reel Pizza across the street for my bi-weekly movie fix, and sometimes I even have one of their delicious pizzas.

Why they chose this property

When I visited Bar Harbor in l976 the good Doctor Cameron offered me his house and office for sale. He was no longer doctoring and I fell in love with this old rambling, interconnected piece of property. I would come up here from NYC and garden on long weekends and vacations. Planting trees, flowers, bushes. But all too soon it was time to go back to my day job and I had to put everything away for the next time. Which was never soon enough. During these infrequent visits I also started the many renovations I've done to the property. It was a treasure throve of improvement possibilities, work I love. I am the most happy when I can wear my ratty old work clothes and get my hands really dirty.

What makes this property unique

Within walking distance to everything, yet nicely tucked away from the madding crowd. Not that there's much of a crowd in the winter. Perfect for summer vacations, and that's when you really need your very own parking space and a bit of breathing room to enjoy all that Bar Harbor has to offer.
