We are perfectly located in quiet and lovely little Hulls Cove; less than a mile to Acadia National Park Visitor Center and the free Island Explorer shuttle, 2/10ths of a mile to the seashore, and 3 miles from Busy Bar Harbor's shops and restaurants.

Cider House Farm is a genuine treasure, a 19th. Century Maine farmhouse with a wonderful sense of history that has grown with its years. Wood beamed ceilings and pine floors blend seamlessly with modern conveniences and comforts.

Situated on one and a half peaceful acres at the end of a quiet private lane, there is lots of space to relax, watch sea gulls, inhale the wonderful mixed fragrance of pine needles and salty sea air or play outdoor games on the big lawns. It is a perfect house for large families, with room for everyone.

Neighboring Acadia National Park’s scenic carriage roads are unmatched for walking biking and horseback riding. Its breathtaking mountain trails for hiking and its lovely lakes for swimming and canoeing.

A large living room, sunroom with hiking maps and local information, farm kitchen and two dining areas with seating for 17 offer plenty of room to be together or find some alone time.

The farmhouse kitchen has room for multiple cooks, and is fully stocked with cookware, useful spices, a lobster pot, dinnerware, glassware, and silverware. The large wrap around deck and patio offers loads of space for leisurely meals and grilling, the gas is provided.

Great place to stay if you have a large group

This property was exactly as described and accommodated our family perfectly! It was clean and well kept up. The first floor was such that we could all gather in the tv room or the dining room or as interests allowed move to a smaller library. Altho we didn’t use the patio much (we were there in late October) it was roomy enough to picnic outside if conditions allowed. The property well situated on the island so that we could all pursue individual or small group activities. Both the main entrance to Acadia and Bar Harbor center is a short drive away.. I would go back!!

Extended Friends and Family Trip

We really enjoyed staying in this rental! It had lots of quirky charm, was clean, and had nice little extras. We had an issue with bees getting in through windows and the hot water going out. The owner was quick and helpful in responding. There is plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and spread out. This was a great place for a large group. Note that only one bedroom is on the first floor in case you have individuals with mobility issues in your group.

Great Location and Character

Nice, large, old home on a quiet dead-end lane. Close to Acadia's Hulls Cove entrance and not far from downtown Bar Harbor. The owner is very kind and responsive to any needs. We enjoyed stargazing on the deck and hanging out in the large open kitchen. All in all, a great stay.

Authentic Maine house with room for large groups

The stay was really great! The house was beautiful and the surrounding area was quiet. There was a trail a 10 minute walk from the house, and it was also possible to walk to hulls cove beach. The house was just what I wanted to introduce my friends and family to Maine. The house has preserved its historic feel. There was a lovely porch outside with room for the whole group to sit and enjoy the stars at night. Lots of bedrooms and beds for everyone, and enough bathrooms. The host was responsive and was able to come by quickly with a different coffee maker when the one that was there initially didn't work.

Charming farmhouse

We enjoyed our time at the house for a family reunion. There was plenty of space indoors and outside for kids to play and to spend time together. The kitchen and dining area was very charming and caught the morning light beautifully. Easy to get to Bar Harbor and Acadia for activities.

Perfect for a big group

Our stay here was absolutely perfect! We had a large group—5 adults, 6 teens, and 2 children. The house has everything we needed for an ideal stay. The kitchen is packed with everything we needed, including a crock pot which was helpful for days we just wanted to come back to dinner ready. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and the bathrooms are well-situated. We could all spread out and have alone time if we wanted, or easily gather in the public spaces. Would highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a comfortable stay very close to Bar Harbor!

Great place for a family gathering

We loved our stay at the Cider House! It was a wonderful and comfortable house to play yard and table games and gather in different rooms for family activities. The farm house feel of the kitchen was cozy and facilitated many conversations around the table and over food prep. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to perpare meals, including spices and herbs. Trish was a terrific host and provided paper goods in ample supply (not common in my experience with VRBO). Some of the furniture was wobbly. We appreciated a separate bar and refrigerator for adult drinks which meant there was plenty of room in the large kitchen fridge for kid drinks and food. An atypical heat wave in Maine for us meant that the upstairs rooms were warmer than wanted. Open windows and fans (many!) in each room were helpful to circulate air, especially at night. The host notebook was helpful, including how to navigate to a closeby lake for swimming... we never would have found this without local insights found in the notebook. Trish made everything easy.

Annual family reunion Bar Harbor

We had a very large family gathering for a family reunion vacation and needed a very large home to accommodate. This house did not disappoint. It was very clean and well stocked. We had 17 people and never felt that it was an overly crowded space. The location to Bar Harbor and Acadia was perfect. And the hostess was friendly and accommodating. Overall a great stay!

Absolutely Wonderful! Perfect for our family

Such a magical place! Lots of space and charm for everyone. It was perfect for our family, we really enjoy places with lots of historical charm. My 80 year old mother said it was just like the farm house she grew up in; she felt right at home. The worn stoop with the door cut to accommodate it just one of the many charming pieces of this place. Lots of room for kids to roam around and play. Plenty of toys and games inside and out. We did run into a couple of glitches, and I just mention them to illustrate how quickly the host Trish responds. Beds were comfy, great ventilation and natural light, plenty of bathrooms and towels. Can’t say enough. Didn’t want to leave.

Fall Break in Bar Harbor

Family of 10 (including 4 kids from 7-12) stayed in this house in October. Awesome house!! More than enough room for our family (countless beds and bedrooms) and kitchen was stocked with everything that we needed for our meals in. Location to Bar Harbor and Acadia was awesome - 3 minutes from Acadia visitor center and 5 minutes from downtown Bar Harbor. Would recommend this house 100 times over to any large groups looking for an awesome location in Bar Harbor.

Home Away from Home!

The Farmhouse had plenty of large spaces for our family of 12 adults to gather for meals, drinks, and games, as well as smaller areas to retreat and enjoy a book or some quiet time. The seven bedrooms were very clean and comfortable. The large deck was great for morning coffee and evening drinks. The place was charming and allowed us to enjoy our trip to New England in the Fall! 🍂🍁

Bar Harbor

This VRBO was great for our family of 14. It is a large house with plenty of bedrooms and beds for all. The kitchen is large and seemed well stocked for everything we made. The large deck is great with a gas grill, relaxing places to sit and 2 picnic tables if you want eat outside. This is an older place so with that the floors are uneven with thresholds to watch out for. My aging parents did need to watch their step a bit. Other than that, I would highly recommend this place since the location cannot be beat. The turn in to Acadia is very close and it is a short 5-6 min drive in to Bar Harbor when we went in to town. The kids loved the surrounding lawn area to play baseball or laser tag. Trish was great to communicate with and we would definitely stay here again if back in town.
