Bar Harbor’s village and surrounding rural residential areas are a popular destination for visitors to Acadia National Park. The town center offers diverse shops, restaurants and activities. Acadia National Park’s Hulls Cove entrance, as well as other major entrances, are located just outside the village center. Not all properties listed as ‘Bar Harbor’ are actually in the village of Bar Harbor, since the town of Bar Harbor encompasses the northern half of Mt. Desert Island, most of which is quite rural in nature. However, homes within this area are usually between five and fifteen minutes’ drive to the village center.
Our family of four had an amazing week stay at Cole Cottage. It was the perfect location for exploring Acadia and Mount Desert Island. It was clean and very well equipped, having every thing we needed for our stay. The beach was quiet and absolutely beautiful. We loved coming back to the peaceful retreat each day. Our kids especially loved the hammock. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Everything about the October 2023 review is true! You can feel the love in this family compound. Quiet and cozy they take pride in this special place. This cottage was a perfect escape to spend time together. Kids bunked in the open loft….we spent hours on the beach and more hours hiking Dorr, Cadillac, etc and would come back to the cottage in the evening for the amazing sunsets.
The loft and step down living room gives the house a ships feel. We affectionately nicknamed the basement bathroom ‘Thunder Hole’. 1.5 baths worked out just fine. Everything was well stocked and organized …thought was put into the renters needs. We’ve used the Knowles Company for almost fifteen years- tried another option one year and quickly returned. They are professional, pleasant and know their houses. They get that this is your special week away and they want to make it great. Thank you for sharing this tucked away treasure only a quick drive to Bar Harbor.
This cottage was perfect for a family looking to be close to Bar Harbor/Acadia, but still wanting quiet, waterfront privacy. Our kids loved exploring the pebble beach at lowtide, and seeing the wildlife (daily we saw seals and eagles). The cottage was well equipped with all essentials, clean, and had beautiful/natural landscaping. Even if you decide to go with another unit…stick with Knowles! Their staff was extraordinarily helpful and communicated well. Skip the VRBO or Airbnb and go with Knowles, you won’t regret it.
Cottage was exactly what we were looking for – perfect size for us with good amenities and right on the water, with a quick walk over to the ovens being a special treat! Location is perfect, too – so close to Bar Harbor and Acadia while being just far away from to feel more relaxed.
