Post and Beam Home on Meadow

Located four miles from city centre Bar Harbour and one and-a-half miles from the entrance to Acadia National Park, this spacious post and beam house overlooking a pristine meadow provides a perfect environment for you and your family to spend your holiday. The house is set well back from Route 3 providing a safe and private place for kids to play and adults to relax, while still providing easy access to the attractions of the island. The L.L. Bean Island Explorer bus is free of charge and will pick you up at the end of the driveway to take you into town, Acadia National Park, or anywhere else on the island you wish to go, and drop you off at the end of the day. The interior of the house is beautifully hand-crafted post and beam with nine-foot ceilings. The master bedroom is upstairs and has its own private bathroom. The South side has numerous windows, allowing for natural light during the days while you are relaxing in the living room.

Our home: We have a large deck with patio furniture and gas grill. Horseshoe pit on premises overlooking the beautiful meadow. Large swing set and house for children. Large back lawn.


Local Flavour:: Hold sea creatures from the touch tank and watch seals sunning themselves on the rocks. Relaxing sailing excursions are also available. Take a walk through city centre Bar Harbour, or visit the island's other small fishing villages a short drive away. With many diverse shops, you are sure to find the perfect souvenir for friends and family. Wind down a long day of shopping with a lobster dinner at one of the local restaurants. Experience the Bar Harbour nightlife with live music and locally brewed blueberry ale at any of the friendly bars in town. Check the Island Explorer schedule for a safe ride home. Feel free to ask about activities we have left out.

We had a wonderful time at this house. Very comfortable and clean. Plenty of room for our group of 6 adults. Perfect location for trips to Acadia and visits to Bar Harbor. The location was quiet and well off the road. The house was well stocked with all the kitchen appliances/utensils we needed. Thank you for a great vacation!

We loved this wonderful house. Plenty of room for our family of 7 plus pup! Kitchen was well stocked and made it easy to cook for the group. Nice Webber grill. Room for our bikes in the garage. We loved the gorgeous meadow and yard. Our grandchild loved playing soccer in the yard We picked wild blueberries and watched the families of deer enjoying the meadow behind the house. Would totally visit again for a family vacation.

The house worked out great for our family! We were able to cook so many meals at the house and enjoy the time together. It was nice to each have our own rooms at night. We loved being able to enjoy our coffee in the morning on the back deck, so relaxing. The grill was great for cooking dinners. Check in and check out was simple. Location was great as we spent most of our time hiking in Acadia.

The house is tucked in off the main road so was quiet and felt very private. Everything was as described and very well kept. Easy drive to the Acadia visitor center and a fifteen minute drive to Bar Harbor. Would highly recommend it as a place to stay.

Wonderful location to Arcadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Had all the cooking tools we needed for a family of 7. Beds were comfortable. Melanie was a great host and we strongly encourage people who want to visit Bar Harbor and Arcadia National Park to stay at this location as it’s easy in and out. Picture included is from our star glazing night off the back deck.

Amazing vacation

As soon as we entered the home we knew we were in for a fantastic stay! We had so much room to spread out, the kitchen and the deck is where we spent most of our time though. Sitting on the deck, looking out into the meadow was amazing. The home had all the things we needed, we even cooked dinner there one night. Loved our stay and when we hopefully return to Bar Harbor, we will want to stay here again!

Enjoyable and Good Location

The home was very comfortable for our group and Melanie was great at communicating with us. My only suggestion to Melanie would be to have a nicer kitchen setup with enough matching plates and accessories. Maybe some nicer bath towels would be great too. Thanks for the stay!

Week in Acadia

We traveled with our adult children and the house was perfect. It is very close to Acadia and also to the shops and restaurants in Bar Harbor. It has an open floor plan, a big kitchen, and a welcoming back deck and yard, which were all perfect for relaxing between activities and cooking at the house. The owner was a good communicator. Overall, it was a great rental!

Wonderful Family Vacation

This home was a perfect private place for a small family gathering. We had ample space for game/movie night on the rainy days with room tor cooking and meals for eight. The location was wonderful for short drives to Jordan pond, Cadillac mountain and walking the Shore path for beginner hikers. The Bee Hive was for the more ambitious of group. The Bar Harbor Inn was especially nice to have lunch and cocktails while viewing the harbor and enjoying the warmth from the fire pit. Overall our family had a wonderful time in Bar Harbor and the surrounding area.
