So close to the town

The location is the reason why I chose this property. I originally booked a location on Ledgelawn, but I wanted to be closer to the shoreline. Dorrie’s house is just down the street from all the restaurants and shops. I loved being so close to the shoreline.

Perfect location in downtown Bar Harbor

Our family of four had a wonderful time in Bar Harbor. Bike and kayak rentals are a block away, and we could walk to all restaurants, bars, and other locations in downtown Bar Harbor.

Great Location, Awesome Stay!

Location, location, location! House is older but clean and Dorrie is over generous with supplying plenty of towels, toilet paper, detergents and other supplies. The location is unbeatable. Everything in Bar Harbor is within a few minutes walk. Acadia is a very short drive. We had a wonderful vacation and Dorrie’s house helped make it perfect.

We had a very nice experience at this property. The major plus to this property is the location. It is so close to downtown and all the Bar Harbor attractions, but is also on a quiet, private street.

Fun stay in the heart of Bar Harbor

The location of this house in central Bar Harbor can't be beat. It was a quick walk to the waterfront, restaurants, shops, and the village green, where we could hop on the Island Explorer buses to access Acadia National Park. The property was clean and homey, with comfy beds and furniture. We especially appreciated being able to bring our dog with us on the trip. Dorrie was a responsive and accommodating host.

Great location, nice property, and great communication from host

My family enjoyed our stay in Bar Harbor. There are some little things about the property, but we addressed all of these with the owner and had our questions answered quickly. The house is a little older, as are most houses in town. The location is fantastic. It's easy to walk to anything in town from the house.

Bar Harbor stay

Very pleased with our choice of house while visiting Acadia National Park with spouse and 2 adult children. It was spacious and comfortable with large bedrooms and 2 full baths. Best of all, it was a short 1-block walk to downtown Bar Harbor! We went out to dinner 4 nights, all of which were a short walk away. It was also a short walk to Bar Island so we could walk across at low tide.😀. Of course Acadia is wonderful and having such convenient access made our trip a success!

Great location in Bar Harbor

The perfect location for enjoying all that the town has to offer and venturing into Acadia. We parked our car on arrival and it didn’t move until we packed and headed home. Walk to shop, explore and dine. Hop the free buses into Acadia at Village Green. Kayak, fish and sail. Amazingly quiet even though you’re in the middle of everything.

Family time

A wonderful week in Bar Harbor/ANP. This house was a great place to gather and make plans for the day over breakfast and a great place to gather and talk about the day over dinner. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking but we were also close to several great restaurants, breweries, bakeries and Ice cream shops. The beds were comfortable and it was a bonus to have two full baths. We have rented several properties in Bar Harbor over the years but this house had the best location.

Winter Retreat

Pleasant and cozy space, perfectly nice for the three adult family members and 50 lb. mutt who shared it. More could have come. Downstairs bath was cold until we figured out how to turn the heat on. Kitchen was very functional, and I loved the Fiestaware.

About the host

Hosted by Dorrie

From the day I was born I grew up summering in Bar Harbor ( My parents didn't want to leave) Acadia National Park was my play ground... My husband was recently transferred so we had to leave Bar Harbor. I am not ready to give up the place I call home ....

Why they chose this property

Federal Street Retreat is located in the Heart of Down Town Bar Harbor... for me it meant a short walk to work... for you it means a chance to park you car and not get back in til its time to go home.... you can walk to Acadia National Park, Restaurants, Entertainment and Shopping

What makes this property unique

Being able to walk EVERYWHERE!....
