The perfect location!Home away from home! The coolest cottage with space for everyone. We felt like we were living back in the day!!Walking to Bar Island at low tide, rocking on the front porch and eating breakfast at Jordan’s just around the corner…that’s a perfect week to us. Did I mention the best stocked Vrbo home we have ever rented!Grocery next to Jordan’s restaurant was a plus. We only moved our car to hike and bike (free parking in the driveway). Thank you for sharing your home with us. We really loved staying here.

We had an amazing stay at Petunia Cottage. The house accommodated our group of 14 very well. Good bed set up and the living and dining spaces are huge. Location was perfect - short walk to everything in town and just a block to the grocery store. Everyone loved being so close to the Bar Island trail - the kids went down to explore every day. And it was about a mile bike ride to get to the carriage trails (nice to have a garage to store bikes and not worrying about locking up too). Would love to come back!!

The house was as beautiful and convenient as others have mentioned. Ours was a family reunion ages 75yr to 3yrs. We cooked both indoors and out on the grill. Ample outdoor picnic table and porch table for everyone. All the rooms are comfortable and nicely furnished. The kids loved the “kid room” with 3 beds. There were also plenty of quiet spaces for work or just napping.Some favorites: renting e-bikes and riding on the carriage trails, hiking particularly Cadillac & Beehive. Beautiful kid friendly beach at Echo Lake, Reel Pizza movie theatre.

Wonderful, family friendly, perfectly located home

We had a wonderful two-week stay with various ages, including an infant, toddler, and a few 70+. Given the ages of our visitors, the home was perfectly located for easy walking trips to the sandbar, restaurants, the town park, and other town amenities. It was also a short drive / long walk to Acadia. The downstairs setup was spacious and offered plenty of room for the kids (and adults) to play. Upstairs had plenty of bedrooms with different setups that worked out well for our family. The front porch was also great for relaxing, people watching, and a bit of a water view. The property was well appointed and clean, and our mid-stay cleaning was much appreciated. Communication with the host was also easy. Thanks so much!

Lovely house, great porch, fantastic location.

We chose the house for ease of walking around in and around Bar Harbor. It was lovely. The house is historic and quirky, but comfortable and great for a group. The front porch was a highlight with comfortable rockers. Close to the action but quite quiet in the evening. Beautiful kitchen -- great for our group of 12. We definitely appreciated the off street parking after watching the street parking derby from the porch. I will say it's worth checking into what days cruise ships may be visiting Bar Harbor and planning activities elsewhere those days. It's pretty overwhelming -- really way too many people for the small center of town. I hope for the residents' sakes that some local spending happens b/c otherwise the pain of the numbers wouldn't be worth it at all. Loved the hiking and exploring -- altogether great trip.

Beautiful location and house for large party!

Our family of 15 stayed at Petunia Cottage and celebrated a special anniversary. The house was beautiful and a great location near the tidal path and also close to downtown stores and restaurants. The location was wonderful for exploring Acadia National Park, which we did 4 times in one week! There is a free shuttle to Acadia that leaves from the Village Green. Our family age range was between 4 years and 74 years. All were happy with the house and location! The big kitchen and countertops made eating and cooking a breeze. The one suggestion is to place a pad under the carpet in the living room to keep it from bunching and slipping. It was easy to trip over it.

Wonderful second stay at Petunia Cottage!

This was our second stay at Petunia Cottage, and it was just as wonderful as the first! Fantastic old house with character and a location that can't be beat. Best part might be the large porch with many rocking chairs ... where we started and ended every day! We're already looking forward to our next visit!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Petunia Cottage! The house had so much room and was well equipped to accommodate our large group. The location was ideal, an easy walk anywhere in town and so close to Acadia. We would highly recommend!

Exceptional and Charming

Petunia Cottage was perfect for our multi-family reunion. The variety of bedrooms accommodated singles, couples, a family with teens and a family with three under five. There were plenty of nicely remodeled bathrooms, a terrific gathering-place kitchen, and a generous living room/billiard room space. A wrap around front porch with rocking chairs was a favorite. To top it off, Petunia Cottage is in the best location: on a quieter street, a block off Cottage St with its shops, restaurants and a well stocked grocery store. The owners paid particular attention to stocking the house with all the necessities needed for a week’s stay….including two sets of high-end washer/dryers! We highly recommend Petunia Cottage!!

Bar Harbor Beauty

Petunia Cottage is MUCH larger than it appears in pictures. The porch is lovely and my family thoroughly enjoyed the rocking chairs and the view of the water after long days of hiking. The home was extremely clean had every amenity we needed. Double washers and dryers were a dream. So many living spaces for a large group, we never felt crowded. The location is very convenient for going to any restaurant or store in Bar Harbor. The beds were very comfortable; supplies an abundance of linens and towels. Kitchen was very well stocked with various tools and cookware. The den is a perfect playroom for children. The proximity of the land bridge to Bar Island delighted all age ranges in my family (13 months to 70 years). This home perfectly blends the charm of a historic old house with the convenience of modern living.

Wedding by the Sea

Petunia Cottage was all we hoped for and more! Before we even arrived, our host Cheri Miceli sent great tips about the home and the bustling summer surroundings in Bar Harbor. Our family vacation (14 of us, ages 6-75) centered around the wedding of our granddaughter! What a beautiful day it was, capped by lobster dinners at Bar Harbor Inn, seaside. And we wanted to hike to our hearts' content in Acadia National Park. The location of the Cottage can't be beat, with short walks to groceries, dining and shopping. We enjoyed morning coffee walking out to Bar Island in low tide and returning late at night to gaze at stars. The rockers on that charming front porch were where we gathered. The house was very clean (!), the kitchen was amazing and we kept the laundry room and dishwashers busy. The pool table was also enjoyed. The home was spacious including the bedrooms and baths. Except for a small den bedroom on the main floor, all bedrooms were upstairs which worked fine for our group. Available parking was a big "plus"! Count us among the lucky ones who stayed at Petunia Cottage.

Great stay

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Petunia Cottage! The cottage is the perfect location to walk to downtown Bar Harbor or to access bar island with a nice view of the island from the porch. We had our large family there (14 people) and it still felt very spacious and quiet. Communication with the hosts was superb even in getting recommendations in advance for the stay. They have a caretaker for the home (Charlie) who is very nice and available if any issues arise. The house has lots of charm with modern updates which makes it perfect for larger families. I would definitely recommend this home to families coming to the area.

Family Trip

We do an annual trip in a different city each year and loved this house and Bar Harbor! Perfect downtown location straight across from the sandbar and walking distance into town. We walked to dinner every night and felt safe letting the 12 year-olds wander. No air conditioning but a lot of fans so didn’t end up being an issue. We had 13, including 4 kids, and had plenty of room. King Overlord and King Master are especially great grooms upstairs. Stairs can be a little tricky for older folks so watch that. Loved it!

Perfect Family Celebration

My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Bar Harbor and wanted to spend our 50th Anniversary with our children in Bar Harbor. Petunia Cottage was the perfect home for us for the week. I have never used Vrbo and Cheri made it easy. She kept in touch and provided us with info of the area. The house was amazing. The right size for the 11 of us. It had all the amenities and above all it was spotless. The location could not be more perfect. Wonderful memories were made.

Our family of 11 had a great time. Being able to walk downtown and to the grocery store was a great advantage. Petunia Cottage is a rare gem of preserved homes. There was plenty of space for everyone. We can't say enough about that fantastic, well-equipped kitchen! Cheri answered our questions promptly and was easy to work with. Thank you! Thank you!
