2 Bedroom House in Town Hill, Bar Harbor

Relax and recharge while exploring Mount Desert Island and nearby Acadia National Park. Located in the quiet village of Town Hill, our family’s guest house sits on 16 acres of private land with sunset views over Clark’s Cove toward Blue Hill.
The property is on the west side of the island—about 6 miles from the Acadia Visitor Center, 9 miles from the village of Bar Harbor, and 8 miles from Eagle Lake and the entrance to Acadia. Travel times may vary depending on traffic.

Summary: The property was stunning, and the views were amazing! The upstairs lounging area was very comfortable and we enjoyed the pool table. The kitchen had all the essentials, which was very appreciated. We got the chance to meet the host's parents, who were so welcoming and fun to talk to! Unfortunately we had water issues throughout our stay. Both toilets had issues flushing, and our water pressure when showering was less than satisfactory (even if only one shower was being used at a time). Also, it would have been nice to have a nonstick pan to cook eggs (the only plans available were not good). The place itself was adorable all nestled away in the woods, which was very private and secluded, but we didn't realize it was 20 min drive to get to Bar Harbor with all the winding, low speed limit roads. That was our mistake, thinking that 7 minutes away meant about 10 min drive. All in all, the place is beautiful and the four of us had a wonderful trip; however, we couldn't imagine having 8 people stay in this house with how small the bathrooms are, the low water pressure for showering, and all the toilet problems.
