Summary: This place was in a perfect spot. Got to listen to live music every afternoon when we were home on the porch.

Summary: We had the best time staying here. The location couldn’t be better. We had music playing right around the corner everyday. It was easy to walk to any location in the village. The best part was the convenience for the dogs. There was a great little fenced in back yard that my dogs loved. The only issue is the bathroom is on the second floor. The only problem with that is the stairs are steep. Could be difficult for an older person. Would definitely stay again in a heartbeat!

Summary: Chose this property for its location, which allowed our two tween/teen kids to have some independence in town, and it was perfect. Loved being able to bring our dog too, and the fenced backyard was a favorite hangout spot for all of us. The beds were very comfortable, which isn’t always the case in a rental.

Summary: Great location if you want to be downtown Bar Harbor. Walk to shopping, eating and easy access to the bus or to drive into Acadia National Park. House was adequate. Took us a couple days to get used to the noise as the front of the house is only the driveways distance apart from a restaurants outdoor dining, and live music. Biggest complaint is the poor quality twin mattresses which made for bad sleeping for my kids. The fact that it is dog friendly made our vacation so much better. The backyard is fenced in, has a nice patio and much quieter than the front. Easy place to relax after hiking the mountains.

Summary: This property was a great location to enjoy Bar Harbor. The home was immaculately clean. We enjoyed spending time on the front patio and the private back yard. Would stay here again.

Summary: Many thanks to the owners for letting us bring our furry kids, which truly increased the quality of our vacation. This was our first trip to Maine and we stayed both in Bar Harbor and Booth Bay. The description of the property and pictures provided actually did not give a completely accurate description, because it is MUCH BETTER!!! Literally downtown Bar Harbor is a step away, yet the adjacent property and foliage leave you feeling miles away from it all! My husband enjoyed many naps on the front porch in the mid-afternoon in this little town filled with Cruise activity. The living space is actually much larger than the photos might indicate. It was very clean and well maintained. Traveling with a special needs animal, who will find the dust, there was no dust to be found. The house was extremely clean and very welcoming :-) When I had a question and e-mailed the owners, I had a quick response! My husband and I often rent cottages while traveling and I have never felt so compelled to write a review, that is how much we loved it!! Clear instructions were sent to us on access, the owners were quick to respond, we loved the property, the location is amazing. Tips for those looking to enjoy Acadia as much as we did: Skip the Great Meadow Loop Trail. It is really just a walk around a golf course. Don't miss the hike around Jordan Pond or a trip to Cadillac Mountain. Jordan Pond is listed as a Moderate hike, but there is only a short bit of walking/climbing around rock formations. We passed many healthy 60-70 year olds enjoying it. If you can't hike to Cadillac Mountain, drive up and walk around the rock formations there, and walk a bit of a trail! If you are a moderate hiker, don't miss Great Head. Walk out onto Sand Beach and head left. Little more climbing on this one, but well worth the views!! For fast access, head south through Otter Creek and enter the park there. Park Loop Road is one way through much of the Park, and this makes for much quicker access to Jordan Pond, Cadillac Mountain, and the Stables. We plan on enjoying more of our National Parks in the future, but if you look to Bar Harbor, this is an awesome place to stay and we hope to be back!!

Summary: We spent a week at Arbor House on Derby Lane in May 2012. It’s in a superb location allowing us to walk everywhere in town. The cottage is nicely furnished and although we didn’t cook we could have, as the kitchen is well equipped. The two bedroom, one bath cottage is also comfortable and roomy, especially for two adults. Arbor house is a very short walk to Main Street. When we first arrived I feared evenings might be noisy especially since we were there for Memorial Day weekend. But our nights at the cottage were quiet and we slept quite well. We traveled with two dogs and both were welcome at Arbor House. We were also grateful for the grassy areas around the cottage for early morning and before bed bathroom calls. Maine is especially dog friendly as our two were frequently invited into shops, and Bar Harbor was no exception. Dog friendly inns, hotels, and rentals houses are especially interesting for us, and I think this is a growing trend across the US. Arbor house met our dog needs quite well. JR and Courtney are wonderful “landlords” and left information in our cottage. We followed their advice and enjoyed some topnotch restaurants. We had one issue with Wi-Fi, but it was the server that was malfunctioning. JR made some calls to confirm the issue and visited the cottages to ensure that our connection was working. This was a minor inconvenience, and not a long lasting one, and the cottage Wi-Fi worked well. Arbor House is a wonderful cottage and we loved Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Barbara

Summary: What a memorable vacation! Our stay at Arbor House with our Labrador and two Yorkies was...perfect. The home was clean and well maintained and its location--just one block from the heart of downtown Bar Harbor--was so convenient. Scenic walks along the harbor shore were only a few blocks away, and sunny afternoons spent sitting and reading on the comfy front porch pups was so relaxing for us and our sleepy pups. The proprietors even provided great restaurant recommendations--a nice touch. We seldom write recommendations, but this experience was just so great ...
