* Please scroll down to see our flexible cancellation policy.


Perfectly located, we are less than a mile to Acadia National Park Visitor Center and the free Island Explorer shuttle, 2/10ths of a mile to the seashore, and 3 miles to Downtown Bar Harbor's shops and restaurants.

Located on a private lane in quiet and lovely little Hulls Cove, a short walk takes you to the little beach at Hulls Cove, and our 5 local businesses.

Neighboring Acadia National Park’s scenic carriage roads are unmatched for walking biking and horseback riding. Its breathtaking mountain trails for hiking, and its lovely lakes for swimming and canoeing.

There is a wonderful sense of history throughout this spacious house, but we also love modern conveniences and comfort and feel that it all works together beautifully.
There are ceiling fans in every room, those in the bedrooms team up with our cool summer nights for maximum sleeping comfort.

There are 3 upstairs bedrooms, each have a queen size bed with a wonderful original bed head (we left the foot boards off in consideration of our taller guests). Next to the bedrooms is the upstairs bathroom with its lovely original wood wainscoting, marble washstand and large walk-in tiled shower.

There are 2 bedrooms downstairs; ‘Windward' has one queen and one twin size sleigh bed, ‘Southerly’ has 2 x-long twin beds. A sleeper sofa in the very large living room offers additional sleeping for two.

The sizable downstairs bathroom has a walk-in shower. Our bed and bath linens are all 100% pure cotton and laundered with skin-sensitive products. Soap, tissues, make-up remover, Q-tips and toilet paper are found in each bathroom.

A half bath and laundry are also conveniently located downstairs.

There is seating for 8 around the oak ding table, and for 5 at the bar, plenty of dishes, silverware, and glassware. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware, useful spices, a lobster pot, and all the usual under the sink items.

Enjoy outdoor dining on the large wrap around deck, with 2 sets of patio doors it provides lots of space for relaxing and dining. The grill is gas, and the propane is provided. We are baby-ready with a pack 'n play, baby gates, highchair, and booster seat. The lawn is a perfect place for children to play safely.

This is a family property that has seen a lot of love over the years, and we are delighted to share it with you.

*Our flexible Cancellation Policy:
Very simply, if a guest wishes to cancel their reservation, they will receive a full refund if or when those reservation dates re-book. If the dates do not re-book the deposit will not be refunded but we will offer a credit for a future booking.

Hidden Gem
The house was plenty big and accommodating. Three of us were celebrating our upcoming 60th and had a blast. The rooster crows on time at 5:30 am and is the best alarm you could have. We did have a few days of rain which kept us from enjoying the deck but we did get a couple of days enjoying it. The house was so clean and had very nice toiletries. It was well stocked. Thank you to Trish Ropp for letting us enjoy your home.

This is one of many VRBO properties we have stayed at for our family reunion and this one was by far the best! First, you are serenaded by chickens and ducks that live on the family farm! Second, the house is large and accommodated our family of 10 and was practically at the entrance of Acadia National park! We hiked and did the e-bike adventure and even spent a day mountain climbing! The hospitality was par excellence and a great time was had by all! Highly, highly recommend!

Wonderful property and comfortable amenities
We had 8 adults and 1 toddler. Location was very close drive to downtown Bar Harbor and yet away from the large crowds. House amenities were plenty, house was clean, large and very good condition. 2 1/2 bathrooms a major plus. Owner was available to help and very friendly. Would stay here again for sure. Only concern would be if it’s hot and humid, no air conditioning. Thanks Trish.

Perfect location
We stayed here for a family trip to see Acadia Mountain and experience Bar Harbor. The house was very accommodating for our party of 8 adults. It had everything we needed including coffee filters and laundry pods (it’s the little things that impress me the most)! We never felt cramped and everyone had their own bed, as I had 4 adult children staying with me. Close to the mountain and trails as well as downtown Bar Harbor. House was clean, had plenty of towels and pillows, and kitchen had everything needed to cook meals. Loved the chickens and ducks that roamed around the yard too!

My husband and I, along with another couple, thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sea Captain's house. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The location is great as well, very close to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. And communication with the owner was excellent! I highly recommend this vacation rental!

Wonderful stay. Perfect location.
My family of 10 (grandparents, parents, kids) stayed here and had a wonderful time. The house was more than big enough and is in a great location to downtown and the park. The kids had plenty of room to play inside and out. The kitchen is a nice space. All amenities are in great condition.

Fun house in a prime location
We loved staying at the Sea Captain’s house. They thought of a lot of extras that would be useful for kids, including a pack and play, high chair, games, etc. Communication was great. We were nervous about all the nice breakable dishes on display but the kids stayed away. Super close to the entrance to Acadia and down the street there are a few great restaurants, a gas station, etc.

Great Family Vacation Spot
Perfect vacation spot, tucked away and private enough for the kids (2-9) to play outside and ride their bikes. The location is also close enough to Bar Harbor and popular hiking spots in Acadia. Added bonus was the close location of Hull's Cove . The kids loved walking there during low tide and playing in the water. If you go during July 4th you can even see the fireworks from Bar Harbor! The house while older is well maintained, charming, very clean and well stocked. Trish has added a lot a small touches that were very conveient for our stay. There were extra towels, dish towels, paper products, soaps, primary seasonings and well stocked kitchen supplies. Trish was very accomadating during our stay and easy to communicate with. This is definitely a place we would stay again

We really enjoyed our stay. The owner provided all basic needs (paper towels, toilet paper, etc.) which was awesome because we traveled from PA to ME and we didn't have to pack these items. The house was in a great location and a nice size for our family and friends. We hope to go back sometime.

Large comfortable house in a great location!
This property was exactly what my group of 4 couples was looking for! A huge amount of space for everyone to spread out, relax, and cook, all while a very easy drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Several nice restaurants are walkable and the house itself is in a quiet but not empty-feeling area. Yes, the floors creak and doors are loud, but for a house of this age and size, it's in excellent shape. Would highly recommend for a similar-sized group looking for a convenient and well-equipped place to stay!
