You Can't Get Closer to the Water than This!

Bar Harbor View Cottage is the perfect place for your next trip to Maine. You will be delighted when you first see the stunning panoramic views of Acadia National Park and its mountains from our deck. Make sure you get up in time for sunrise as you'll be able to see it come up over Cadillac Mountain.

You'll be able to spot wildlife without even leaving your chair. You may see eagles, seals, dolphins, deer and moose. You can even take our kayaks across the bay to see seals up close and personal. The water near the cottage is teeming with mussels too.

Kids (of all ages) love the abundance of flat rocks along the shoreline that are perfect for skipping and the custom-built ping-pong table in the garage.

The cottage features four bedrooms which sleep nine, WiFi access, panoramic views, a well-stocked kitchen, a garage, ample parking, a ping-pong table, several kayaks, a gas grill and a gorgeous deck perfect for relaxing.

The main floor has the master king suite with adjoining bathroom, a second bedroom with a queen bed, kitchen, living room, dining area, den, laundry room and second bathroom. There is also an attached garage. The second floor offers two bedrooms. One has two twin beds and the other features a queen bed plus a twin bed.

We are about 16 miles from downtown Bar Harbor.

Beautiful location with a view of the harbor. It was cold when we were there but could enjoy the view on a clear day. If it had been warmer, we would've enjoyed using the kayaks right off the property. Home had everything we needed. If staying in the off season, check restaurants since many were closed.

Wow, what a nice place. Very very well equipped kitchen (even sharp knives!). We enjoyed the fireplace, the view, the quiet area, comfortable bed, the overall look of the place. Was obviously way too big for the two of us, we used only one third of the house!

We are always happy to arrive at Bar Harbor View. The new bathroom was beautiful. The weather was great. We are already booked for next year. Friends from Ellsworth visited and brought us dinner. Always the best of times.

You can’t beat the location of this house, sitting right on blue Hill Bay looking across to MDI. The house itself is very comfortable, extremely well appointed and quickly feels like a second home. Were signed up for next summer! Location feels very private, but just 15 minutes from Acadia. Perfect vacation spot!

This was a wonderful stay! Being right on the water was awesome and the sunrises were beautiful. The kitchen was well-stocked and there was tons of storage space. We were close to Acadia and Bar Harbor and loved our visit.

This home has an incredible view, and was a perfect fit for our family of six. The kayaks were wonderful for exploring, and the long private driveway was perfect for morning runs before our adventures in Acadia. We loved the ‘quirk factor’ of the house and appreciated how well-stocked it was! It is definitely a special spot, and one we would love to return to.

A Christmas Blessing. We spent our holiday by the Ocean and you can’t get any closer than this beautiful home. It is spacious yet cozy. We live in Northern Maine near the Canadian border, so being in Trenton we were able to be near family and had a wonderful Christmas dinner together. This home is stocked extremely well. We will return for sure. Loved it. Precious memories.

We enjoyed our stay very much , the location was perfect , close enough to Acadia and all the park has to offer and far enough away from the hustle of down town Bar Harbor. We enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the water and relaxing after a long day of hiking. I would highly recommend the property !!

Overall a great stay! The house layout was a little confusing, but it was roomy, well equipped, clean, with amazing ocean views and easy kayaking. We loved having the fireplace and firewood stocked. Would stay here again!

The property was a perfect place for an extended family vacation to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The house was full of all the amenities we needed! The view from the back deck was breathtaking and the house felt secluded. We enjoyed use of the kayaks and even saw a bald eagle a couple of times. We enjoyed the house immensely. Thanks for a great time!

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this house and it is always a great time. The water front is amazing and we have a great time getting to all the outdoor places to go. We will be back in the years to come.

This beautiful cottage on the water was well stocked with everything. The newly added 3rd bathroom was a welcomed surprised. We took advantage of the provided kayaks to explore the Narrows and view the Harbor Seals. A great generational family vacation!
