We loved our stay at Crow's Nest. The location could not be better. We could walk to anywhere in Bar Harbor, but still felt like we had our own little quiet corner. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen has everything you could need. Margie provides wonderful guides for the home and the area. Her little backyard was a bird oasis and we thoroughly enjoyed the back deck and views. Can't wait to come back in the future!

Weekend Away

As busy ladies and mother's, time to ourselves is rare. We spent the weekend in Bar Harbor and the Crow's Nest was perfect. It had a homey feel, perfect location and everything we needed to get away even for a short time. Would definitely stay there again.

This property was absolutely charming! Marjorie was quick to respond to questions, the house had all the amenities we needed to make our stay very comfortable. The location was perfect, steps away from downtown and a short drive to Acadia NP. I’d highly recommend this property and I’d stay there again if we return to the area!

Host was incredibly hospitable and the rental was very clean, comfortable, and you can’t beat the location. Across the street is a beautiful playground, baseball fields, skate park, and YMCA. Coffee shops and restaurants all within a 3-10 min walk. The Shore Path along the water is a very short walk. Just can’t beat the location if you have a small family.

The perfect Bar Harbor stay!

We had the absolute best stay visiting Bar Harbor! The Crows' Nest was cozy and had everything you needed and more. The home is was walking distance from everything in Bar Harbor, right down the street from some of our favorite restaurants, and an easy drive into Acadia. Marjorie was extremely accommodating and so kind, even offering us recommendations for catering in the area for our upcoming wedding events. We will absolutely be back to stay again soon!

We had a wonderful week in Bar Harbor staying at the Crow's Nest. The house is cozy and charming and just a short walk to both downtown's shops and restaurants and the beautiful views of the Shore Path. Marjorie is a great host - she's right next door to help if you have any questions. I would definitely recommend this spot if you're planning a trip to Acadia!

Cozy house, great location

The Crow’s Nest is so warm and comfortable! Not modern, but classic and has everything you might need. Love the vintage tile and skylight in the upstairs bathroom (made it feel like you are showering in a tree house!). Margie is an excellent host with great communication. Short walk to downtown shops and restaurants, and on the “right” side of town to access Acadia quickly. Loved our stay, thank you, Margie!

This was the perfect place for our family of 5 to stay during our visit to Acadia. We were able to walk to Bar Harbor and easily drive in and out of Acadia. Just the right amount of space for us inside the house and easy parking. The house is cute and charming. Access to the Shore Path is fantastic. The owner is delightful and made herself available to answer all our questions and provide great recommendations. We have no complaints and would definitely stay here again. It was wonderful in all aspects!

Wonderful week in Bar Harbor

This lovely house was perfect for two friends meeting in Bar Harbor from two sides of the country. Location made walking to dinners in Bar Harbor a breeze and the proximity to the shore path was a joy. Yet just far enough away from the main bustle of Bar Harbor to be quiet and relaxing. Getting into Acadia for hikes and walks was quick and easy. The owner was super friendly yet unobtrusive. And the house was stocked with all the basics that made our stay a pleasure. I would definitely rent this house again.
