Bar Harbor, Salisbury Cove, ME 04609-
Beds: 1 King, 2 Queens, 2 Singles
Set upon treasured Frenchman Bay, this spacious shorefront home offers a lovely private retreat from which to enjoy your visit to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Wake each morning to water views, a pretty lawn and professionally landscaped gardens. Native plants such as wild blueberries, blackberries and ferns will surely draw your eye, but also keep a look out for deer, fox, squirrels, raccoons and eagles. When you’re ready to venture out, relax or stroll along your own private stretch of shore and watch for seals and dolphins playing in the water or paddle out to join them in one of the kayaks provided. At high tide, a short paddle will take you through a stone arch or pack a picnic at low tide and venture further around the point to the shallow waterside caves with pebble beaches known as the Ovens.

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.
This was the perfect place for our family to spend time together. Plenty of room for 3 adult couples. Beautiful home and setting. Easy access to both Acadia and Bar Harbor. We kayaked nearly every day and loved seeing the Bald Eagles and seals. The owner was very responsive to an issue with the hot water and it was quickly resolved. Highly recommend this property.
This is a terrific house! My wife and I stayed her with our five adult children and had an excellent time. The house is right on the water, and we enjoyed using the kayaks. The rooms are spacious, and the open floor plan is great. Has all the amenities you will need and is very conveniently located to Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor. Would definitely rent it again!
Fabulous house. Definitely 5 stars. The house is very spacious and very comfortable. The bedrooms setup offers plenty of privacy. The views are very good and the proximity to Acadia & Bar Harbor are very convenient. The house is very well stocked. The ping pong table is a wonderful addition. I highly recommend this house
Eastern bay retreat far exceeded our expectations! Conveniently located. The split layout of the house was perfect for 5 adults. The kitchen had all the pots, pans, plates and dishes we needed. And very spacious. The fireplace, deck and views were spectacular. The house was clean and UNCLUTTERED.

We had a wonderful time at the house. It was perfect for 6 adults – 2 couples and 2 other adults. It was really nice having the separate bedroom areas for a little privacy as well as the large and comfortable common area. It was very well equipped and well supplied, it also definitely felt very upscale. The location was very secluded and private with lots of beautiful trees. It is a little bit of a challenge to find the driveway the first time – I would strongly recommend coming in during the day the first time you are looking for it.
