Sunny , cozy 1-bedroom, wooded, private, central Island location, close to ocean
One bedroom with queen-sized bed, living room, one small bath with tub and shower. There is a small refrigerator & Keurig; no kitchen. Free wi-fi, but no television. A wi-fi "extender" has resolved the wi-fi problems some commenters have written about. There is a large couch which a toddler or a very young child would be comfortable sleeping on, but it is not a fold-out bed. This unit is above our garage with separate entrance via an outside staircase, please see pictures. If anyone has mobility issues, this is not the place for you! Includes access (up two steps) to a screened in balcony.
We are located in the Town Hill area. BH downtown is a 15-20 minute drive from here, using the charmingly and accurately named "Crooked Road." NE and SW Harbors and Ellsworth, are also each about a 15-minute drive away. It is an easy 10-minute walk to Maine Coast Heritage Trust's "Blue Horizons" Reserve to reach the ocean, and the Blagdon Nature Reserve is a 5-minute drive.

This property was stunning and I loved getting to enjoy the peacefulness of it surrounded by trees. The location couldn’t have been better and was so convenient to everything on Mount Desert Island. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.
A beautiful stay in the woods away from traffic and noise. Hosts were helpful but left us alone/available if needed. Close to Acadia, restaurants and Bar Harbor downtown. A great place to stay!
Had a wonderful time during our stay.
Would recommend to anyone wanting to get away from the crowds.
Property manager accessible and very accommodating.
We stayed here for two nights while visiting Acadia and Bar Harbor. The guest suite was impeccably clean and had everything to make us comfortable. It was a nice place to come back to after long hikes and crowds in town because it was private and peaceful. Very enjoyable!
Although we never met our hosts, communication was excellent and we felt welcomed and supported. This location and cozy apartment (sans kitchen) was so much more than we expected. We hope to return!
Very lovely spot in a quiet wooded area with a great central location on the island. Comfortable and clean.
There were magical tiny lights on the large trees outside
that made it fun. Also come nice walking trails nearby.
We loved it there and would definitely go back.
Everything was great. The property is simple but comfortable and is the perfect place to unplug and recharge. The hosts were very nice, communicative and helpful. We would definitely recommend staying here.
Loved the place! My brother and I were on a bucket list trip to New England and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the woods! Very clean and comfortable. Close to Acadia and several good restaurants. Will return again for sure.
It's around 16 min by car from Bar Harbour and ~15 min walking from a trail that goes to a nice beach. The unit was great, and very cozy. We had a parking spot. The hosts were welcoming.
The property has beautiful grounds! Small area above owners garage. The bathroom is very small, however I knew that ahead of time. Communication with the owner excellent. Close to everything that you need.
Great location to get to all parts of the park as well as Bar Harbor. Has lots of little touches which make the stay perfect. Amazing little retreat after a day of hiking!
This was the perfect place to stay for our Bar Harbor trip and Acadia National Park adventure. Very peaceful place to relax after a day of exploring. Great access to a rocky beach about a mile from the house.
The host was easy to reach and gave us heads up on where to book reservations early for special sights( Cadillac Mountain and Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden), location was only 15-20 minutes from key sights, accommodation offered good value. Be aware that there are steep steps and a tight bathroom. However, the unit was the perfect place for our timing and budget.
