Bar Harbor House | For the Escapist and Daydreamer - Otter Cliff House

3 Bedroom House in Bar Harbor

Imagine starting your day hearing the bell buoy near the famed Ocean Path of Acadia National Park. You decide to walk or bike from your house to watch the sunrise light up Otter Cliffs and Monument Cove. You have the place mainly to yourself, and the seagulls. You walk a little further to see what action might be happening at Thunderhole. From there you see that Sand Beach isn't much further, and you realize that you chose a home base as close to the Park as it gets. A rare location, indeed.
While one of the best aspects of this property is it's location to the treasures of Acadia, the property itself hosts a maze of stone walks and gardens with granite lined paths in honor of the trail makers of the area. The home is surrounded on 3 sides by fields, with the National Park's hardwood forest edge right along the back boundary. From here it is quick to make your way down the hill to Otter Cove and beachcomb at low tide.
The yard is private with open meadows, apple trees, dragonflies, garden paths and extensive perennial gardens to enjoy. The southwest corner provides hammocks perched in the whispering ash and poplar forest, with views out to the south ridge of Cadillac Mountain.
A perfect slice of solitude for the artist, curious child, explorer.
Your secluded back patio area offers a peaceful setting where you can plan your day's adventures. It's a place to relax after a long day of exploring, or, you may choose to head the 6 miles into the hub of Bar Harbor for meals and live music. Whatever you choose, this Otter Cliff house is the perfect jumping off point to visit Mount Desert Island and Acadia, and it offers its own unique natural beauty and relaxing atmosphere.

Summary: We had a wonderful time at the Otter Cliff House. It was perfect for the 5 of use. It was well stocked and very clean when we arrived. It’s just the right distance to drive back and forth from Bar Harbor. Sherri was a great host and checked in several times to see if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend staying there and would stay there again.

Summary: The house very clean and had everything that you would have in your own house. It was like being at home. The location was perfect for getting around Acadia and seeing all the sites and exploring awesome trails. It was also 5 minutes from Bar Harbor but secluded enough to be away from it all, in a nice quite suburban setting. Over all we loved it thank you very much.

Summary: Loved challenging hikes, autumn foliage, rocky coastlines, and Bar Harbor cuisine. The Otter Cliff property was in a great location - secluded, yet could walk to Thunderhole and numerous hiking trails. Also, only a five minute drive from the action in Bar Harbor. Highly recommend!!

Summary: The home's location was great as a starting point for all adventures in Acadia. Many things to do & see within a few minutes drive. The home itself was clean and comfortable with a great property to have dinner outside and wander around in the yard. Sherri was great and gave us the lowdown of a lot of things about & around the area.

Summary: My family had the pleasure of staying at the Otter Cliff house last week. The home was clean, comfortable, and had all the needed amenities and more. We were impressed with being provided with plenty of toilet paper other places we have always had to purchase some along with laundry detergent. The beds were very comfortable which is always a PLUS! Loved the sectional couch in the living room and portable fans that could be moved throughout the house as needed. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware, but the frying pans could be replaced. We made breakfast every morning and the coating is mostly worn off and everything really stuck so it was a struggle cooking in the pans. The backyard space is delightful and relaxing. We loved our stay at Otter Cliff and highly recommend it. Sherri, the host is super friendly and a great communicator.

Summary: This was our second year staying at this house. The house and location is perfect for our group of four (including two teenagers). It's quiet and secluded, and a short walk to the ocean. Sherri is awesome and very communicative!
