House vacation rentals in Bar Harbor

What a great place to stay! Private, easy access to everything, extremely clean and very comfortable. Abigail responds immediately to any question! It was perfect for us and we really appreciated that my son’s dog could visit too.

Sydney’s house was perfect for our family! It was clean, with beautiful views on a quiet, private street. The house had plenty of toiletries, we didn’t need to buy any household items while there. The hot tub was clean and perfect for a breezy afternoon looking out at the water. Sydney was a great host, providing tons of recommendations on places to dine and sites to see. Perfect location to visit both the Schoodic Peninsula and Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor! Would love to stay here again.

Beautiful space to get away from it all while still being close to everything! Entrances to Acadia National Park were literally around the corner and the cute town of Bar Harbor was just a 3 minute drive! The house decor was fresh, clean, and very inviting. We enjoyed the fire pit, hot tub, and backyard. We were happy to get great weather while we were there, but if it hadn’t worked out that way there were so many games and books we would have still had a great time!

This home literally has something for everyone in a multi-generation family gathering! Beautifully decorated and luxuriously comfortable beds for moms. Sports memorabilia, reclining chairs, and a jacuzzi for the dads. First floor bedrooms for grandma who struggles with stairs and couple with newborn who need midnight trips to the kitchen for a bottle feeding. Fun-filled game room in the basement for the older kids to make some noise while the younger kids sleep peacefully upstairs with blackout curtains. It was honestly hard to leave. Lovely first time in Bar Harbor and perfect for our family to spend quality time together!

This was a gorgeous place. Belfast was a cute little town not far away. We enjoyed eating at Rollies Bar and Grilland walking around town. Hannaford grocery store was close with average prices. We had approximately 1 1/2 hour drive when we visited Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor which were exceptional. We enjoyed the food at Geddys and Bar Harbor Inn. We also traveled to Owls head lighthouse and hiked through Camden State Park. This was a nice location we enjoyed our stay.

Our host, was incredibly welcoming and responsive. They provided clear check-in instructions and even shared local tips that made our stay even better. Overall, I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Beautiful home and great communication from the host! The beds were comfortable, the views were amazing and all of the extras like spices, cooking supplies, shampoo and body wash made us feel right at home! You will not be disappointed in this home- the value was amazing!!! We had a very memorable stay for my mother’s birthday, thank you!

If you’re looking for a remote landing spot as you explore Maine, this will be perfect for you. We enjoyed the peaceful ambiance, especially the hot tub, after day tripping to other places. Highly recommend you 1) visit the Hannaford grocery store in Ellsworth before you get to the house, 2) research the surrounding area for any meals out, and 3) for sure go to Acadia National Park. Watch out for deer if you return to the house after dusk.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in Holden, ME! This Airbnb was so nice and clean and pretty close to Acadia National Park. I needed to stay close to work in the park and this spot was the perfect distance away. It was quiet, peaceful, and away from tourist traffic. Also close to gas stations and a grocery store. The hosts were so friendly and nice and we would highly recommend anyone stay here! Thank you Dana + family!

Spirit Rock is easily in the top 3 coolest Airbnbs I've ever stayed in. The cabin is only a few minutes away from Acadia, and the property is gorgeous (drinking my morning coffee every day on the wraparound porch overlooking the beautiful back lawn was one of the highlights of my trip.) The house itself was sparkling clean, which in my experience is rare for a cabin. It felt like home from the moment we walked through the front doors.

The TreeHome was beautiful, nestled against the quiet side of Acadia NP, among other single-family homes. We felt very safe. Surrounded by trees and large granite rocks, we could not see another house from the windows. The house was pristine with the latest-styled furniture, kitchen, & bath. Comfortable beds. Wifi was great. Loved the tree in the center of the spiral staircase, all the live plants, the ship's rigging to hold the lantern in the vaulted ceiling, and the painting of Appa. We felt like we were with "our people". Would love to stay there again!

The place was perfect for our family getaway! We loved how close we were to the shops and restaurants in town and a quick drive to the sights of Acadia. The house was cozy and had everything we needed

LOVED this place!! Clean, that’s a dealbreaker, and it was clean! Situated on 8 acres, peaceful, dog-friendly, cozy, just felt like home. Loved the bottle of wine and chocolates, that’s the way to a girls heart, after a clean place ofc. There were tissues in the bathroom, stocked kitchen, w &d, great lighting. There was this quilt and rug in the master bedroom that looked like I was sleeping at grandmas house. We had to drive everywhere, as this was not a walking rental, but totally worth it. Felt like the heart of Acadia. You have to drive to all the trails anyway. Would totally stay here again.

We loved our stay. It was just what we needed at the end of the day after exploring Acadia and the small towns scattered throughout the area. It was so cozy and we would definitely come back.

We’ve been coming to MDI for over 40 years, and have stayed in some very nice homes and inns. This may now be the top of our list. Peter was an exceptional host, responding within minutes to any questions we had. The house looks deceptively small from the outside, but it is very nicely laid out and surprisingly spacious throughout. Living room and master bedroom very spacious, with lots of closet and drawer space. The king-size bed is very, very comfortable. In fact everything seems designed for the comfort and ease of guests. Record player with Bluetooth speakers to input your own music work well. TV the same. We loved sitting out on the screened porch (with windows closed - this was May!) And I was very pleased and surprised to have yoga mats available to use. Peter thinks of everything! Our son joined us the 4 nights we stayed. It was the perfect setup for him with the separate cabin behind the house. He had everything he needed. We would love to come back again!

We had a wonderful stay. Melissa and Andrew’s place is fantastic! It was very cozy, clean, and a convenient base for Bar Harbor adventures.

Nice place! I had a great time here with my dog. The host gave us instructions when we arrived, and he response very quickly and friendly. Highly recommend

The house was perfect for us. Very clean and organized. Great host always responded in a timely manner. Was only about a 30 to 40 minute drive to Acadia National Park & Bar harbor, depending on traffic it could take longer. If we ever make it back to Maine I would definitely stay at the Higgins Retreat again. Thanks again Richard & Tina.

Thank you Christina! Great weekend stay for UMaine graduation. Great location from campus and stores for the things we forgot (haha).

We felt like at home. The house is located in a private property with swimming pool and tennis courts. It’s very clean and very peaceful. Just a clarification about the description : there’s no bathroom in the basement. Then if you come with elderly people or very young kids, it could be annoying. If you like cooking, the kitchen is very well equipped. We´ll keep a very good memory of our stay in Ducktrap Retreat during the colorful foliage season.

What a wonderful experience! Rebecca was an absolutely outstanding host, always quick to respond and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. My family and I had such a peaceful stay. The home and location were incredibly tranquil, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The house and property were absolutely beautiful, and we loved sipping our morning coffee on the amazing balconies with the breathtaking views. There is so much space, and every room in the house is well thought out, functional, and cozy. The pool is even better than we hoped, so big and clean and in immaculate condition. We spent most of our time swimming and relaxing by the pool. We also enjoyed playing pool and having so many rooms to gather in with the comfort of plenty of new comfy furniture. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind for a vacation away from all the noise and chaos of daily life. Every single area was as described in the listing and better. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Booked this place for our anniversary to get away from the city for a weekend.. we found exactly what we were looking for! The hot tub was wonderful, the house was clean and cute, and we had everything we could have needed! Estelle was very responsive and gave clear instructions for everything. Would recommend this place for a quiet getaway or a small group trip in the summer!

My return visit to the Boathouse was even lovelier than I hoped it would be. The location can't be matched by anything else I've seen. I enjoyed a September visit with my dog and was lucky to have pristine weather. I lived a very simple and healthy outdoors life and came home the better for it. The Boathouse is true to its description: it is simple and rustic and uncomplicated but well-equipped, and is perfect for one-and-dog, or for two people. A little coming-and-going from the neighboring houses meant that I didn't feel isolated. Margaret is truly an exceptional and friendly host who communicates promptly and clearly. I almost hesitate to share "my" Boathouse location with too many of my back-home friends because it feels so intimate and special. I already want to be back there. I offer my deep thanks to Margaret and to the place that I could - briefly - call home.

I recently stayed with my family at this incredible Airbnb that exceeded all my expectations. This property offered a hot tub, a pool table, and a level of privacy and tranquility that made for a truly relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was being able to watch the northern lights from the hot tub – it was absolutely magical. We spent a week in Acadia, and the location was perfect, just 15-20 minutes from Bar Harbor or the nearest town. The hosts were very responsive, and the place was fantastic for families, being both kid and pet friendly. It was a week filled with unforgettable moments, and I can't recommend this place enough!
