You Can't Get Closer to the Water than This!

Bar Harbor View Cottage is the perfect place for your next trip to Maine. You will be delighted when you first see the stunning panoramic views of Acadia National Park and its mountains from our deck. Make sure you get up in time for sunrise as you'll be able to see it come up over Cadillac Mountain.

You'll be able to spot wildlife without even leaving your chair. You may see eagles, seals, dolphins, deer and moose. You can even take our kayaks across the bay to see seals up close and personal. The water near the cottage is teeming with mussels too.

Kids (of all ages) love the abundance of flat rocks along the shoreline that are perfect for skipping and the custom-built ping-pong table in the garage.

The cottage features four bedrooms which sleep nine, WiFi access, panoramic views, a well-stocked kitchen, a garage, ample parking, a ping-pong table, several kayaks, a gas grill and a gorgeous deck perfect for relaxing.

The main floor has the master king suite with adjoining bathroom, a second bedroom with a queen bed, kitchen, living room, dining area, den, laundry room and second bathroom. There is also an attached garage. The second floor offers two bedrooms. One has two twin beds and the other features a queen bed plus a twin bed.

We are about 16 miles from downtown Bar Harbor.

Loved this place!
We stayed here in November and had the best time. The house was perfect for us, plenty of room, stocked with everything we needed and the view was amazing. It was a short distance to Acadia and we even had a chance to see the drive thru Acadia Holiday light show for the holidays. I would definitely recommend staying here and hope to be back soon!

Beautiful views and wonderful house
This was a wonderful stay! Being right on the water was awesome and the sunrises were beautiful. The kitchen was well-stocked and there was tons of storage space. We were close to Acadia and Bar Harbor and loved our visit.

Great time
The view is great. Lots of space inside. Fully stocked kitchen. The kayaks were easy to get in the water and fun to paddle around. Everyone had a great time. 15 mins to Acadia visitors center. 10 mins to food shopping. If you like crab rolls you have to try YU take-out in Hancock.

Perfect spot
The experience of staying just at the waters edge with full view of the mountains is exhilirating! The location is perfect and the house is well stocked. It’s very private, but just a short drive from the park and stores, restaurants, etc. This is the perfect vacation spot!!

Great location and Beautiful home
We enjoyed our stay very much , the location was perfect , close enough to Acadia and all the park has to offer and far enough away from the hustle of down town Bar Harbor. We enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the water and relaxing after a long day of hiking. I would highly recommend the property !!

My husband and I came to start our honeymoon. We enjoyed the views and coziness of being away from the hustle and bustle. The locals were very accommodating and we loved the small town feel of Ellsworth with the easiness of accessing Acadia and bar harbor!

Our much needed getaway
My husband and I were joined for half the time with our daughter and her two children and our son and his friend, then they all left and we had the place to ourselves. It is just what we needed. It's a wonderful place to get re-charged.

Wonderful place!
Our family had a wonderful stay here. The house is every bit as great as it looks in the pictures. It easily accommodated 9 people, and the location is beautiful and peaceful. Plenty of family gathering space as well as areas for privacy. The kitchen is well equipped, and paper products are supplied. We used the grill and also cooked over a fire on the beach. I can't say enough good things about it, and we may be back!

This place is a real gem! First time in maine the beauty is unreal. The house is perfect for the area! I would suggest hitting the grocery store and utilize the well equipped kitchen! Also, the ping pong table was the star of the show!!!

Spectacular view!
We loved our stay here. There are gorgeous views from the deck and huge windows throughout the home, so even if it is chilly you won’t miss out on the sight of the beautiful bay and mountains. It is about a 15 minute or so ride to beautiful Acadia and Bar Harbor, but I would have been just as happy to stay in this house. The house is a tad quirky, but we loved that. It has everything you would ever need. I would definitely stay here again!

Private and Spacious
Great location. Private, but close enough to everything. Kayaking, grilling, and chilling. A great vacation with enough room for our adult children. Terrific kitchen. Huge garage. Well maintained. Expansive deck overlooking the water.
