Cozy Pond Side Cottage in Bar Harbor! [The "Nook"]

The Nook was converted in the 80s partially using a shed first built on the property in the 1920s. While inside the unit you can see the roof of the original Nook where the bedroom now resides. The kitchen area is small but has everything you need to cook!

**The mattress was changed to a new one in 2023 based on reviews from previous years saying it was uncomfortable**

With our guest's privacy being of the utmost importance, we have established a contactless self check-in process. Once booked, we will send you detailed instructions on how to access the home. However, if there is anything you need or of concern during your stay with us, we can be easily contacted.

Settled just 3 miles from the northeast entrance to Acadia, and roughly 10 minutes from downtown Bah Habah (make sure you leave your Rs at home when you get here), our cottages provide you with the convenience to tackle everything you need to while you're here (well not literally – there’s actually a no tackling policy. Thanks, Joe…).

Check out our Welcome Guide for info and recommendations on the area!

-Being near a Pond there are may bugs and moths especially at night time. Guests need to be cautious of coming and going from the sliding door at night time as bugs are attracted to the light

-There are 4 steps to get to the front door

-Grills are available for use late April until the end of November

-Firewood is NOT provided. Many of our neighbors sell firewood at the end of their driveways for $4-$8 per bundle paired with a small cash box
-This listing does allow pets but you must check off that a pet is coming in the AirBNB App and pay our standard pet fee. If we find out after the fact that you brought a pet without notifying us you will be charged a much higher fee at a cost of $250.

You will receive a $150 fee if you are out of the unit later than 10:15AM and will be charged an additional $50 for every 15minute interval that you are late after that. We have had problems with guests leaving late in the past and need to make sure that our cleaning team has enough time to properly clean the unit before the next guests arrive.
-No parties or events are allowed in the unit. You will immediately be kicked out of the unit if you hold an event at the unit and will be charged a $1,000 fee

It was located in the perfect area to be out of the busy town, but yet really close to everything.

We had a comfortable, quiet stay at the nook. It was what my wife and our dog needed, just far enough away from the bustle of the main town but close enough to hop in and out as we pleased. The place is cozy and comfortable, and check in and out process was smooth and easy. Would stay again 👍

Overall, this was a good place to stay if you wanting a quick and easy place while visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia. Would recommend painting lines for parking spots. There were many times it was a tight squeeze to fit in the allotted parking spot due to others.

The Nook is a lovely little apartment and the pictures on VRBO depict it accurately! Great location/proximity to Hulls Cove Park entrance and downtown Bar Harbor. Quiet, clean, nice deck and fire ring. The shower is small as described by others. Otherwise the space is perfect for 2 people. I recommend this property!

Spacious house for a couple (and a dog) in close proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia NP. Nicely updated, clean, and well stocked with all the basics! Owner was great to communicate with. Proximity to Route 3 made it a bit noisy.

We were looking for a perfect location, close to all the typical hikes and also near the city. The "Nook" provided that and much more. We were about 15 minutes from town, the loop road and Cadillac Mt Summit road. We were not at the house much, but it was such a cute well laid out place. A great little deck to sit out on and enjoy the meteor showers also. The only complaint we did have was the bed was so noisy, every time you tried to roll over the thing squeaked up a storm lol. But from all the hiking we were able to sleep anyways. Highly recommend staying here!!

Very nice and convenient location. Impeccably clean and well stocked with kitchen and bathroom supplies, as well as access to shared laundry including detergent. My only caveat is that the bed is extremely uncomfortable, and very noisy with even the smallest movement. I reported this to the owner and can only hope it will be addressed, in which case, I would happily stay there again.

Very clean , comfortable place for two. The kitchen is tiny but equipped with all the basics you need. The view from the deck is of a pretty busy road and beyond that you see a bit of the pond. The area/neighborhood is very nice. The AC is great. There are a few nice lobster restaurants nearby without even having to drive into Bar Harbor and it's easy access to the park (which is fabulous). The shower is very tiny- if you are a large person you may be uncomfortable.

Nice little cabin with a parking spot. 10 minutes away from Bar Harbor and Acadia Hull Cove Entrance. Property manager was very responsive and quick to resolve a problem we had with the heater. Good spot for everything we needed for a relaxing week

Nice place. We enjoyed the relatively private location, not too far from Bar Harbor and an entrance to Acadia. Nice little deck with a BBQ, nice yard and fire pit. View of the pond is nice, though it is a bit far and across a busy road. That brings some road noise during the day, but it was quiet at night. The portable air conditioner kept the place comfortable, as long as we remembered to turn it on when we were out for the day, and in the evening. Bed was VERY firm, more than we were used to. All in all, a nice place to stay.
