3 Bedroom House in Bar Harbor

Originally built in 1911 for Captain Snow, the first Maine Seacoast Mission captain, Windhaven is a charming reminder of the Golden Age of Bar Harbor. High ceilings, spacious rooms, spruce ceilings in the bedrooms and 2,000 square feet allow you to relax in style. Or, if you prefer to sit outside, there is a covered deck off the main floor of the house, perfect for catching evening breezes off the ocean.
Below the deck is a secure storage area for bicycles, kayaks, canoes, etc.
Since its construction, the house has served as a family residence, a Bed and Breakfast and an inn. At present my wife and I are in the process of turning it back into a single family home. Windhaven is right in the middle of Bar Harbor village but nestled off a quiet side street and then further nestled into an even quieter side street...making Windhaven "off a quiet side street" squared. You will hear the occasional tolling of bells from the Holy Redeemer church down on Ledgelawn.
From Windhaven you can walk to all the shops and restaurants in town. Walk to movies at Reel Pizza and the Criterion Theater. Stroll over to the village green, catch a summer concert or hop on the free Island Explorer shuttle and discover more of MDI.
First floor: designer kitchen with all the amenities, separate remodeled prep kitchen, custom bar, dining room, half bath, library / music room, large living room with flat screen TV, DVD, Amazon Fire TV (HBO, HULU, Amazon Prime Movies, Netflix, etc.) side patio with gas grill, deck with a clear plastic corrugated roof for maximum light, deck furniture for relaxing or eating al fresco.
Second floor: huge master suite with queen tempurpedic, full bathroom and separate office / library space, two other bedrooms upstairs contain double beds and access to second floor balcony great for viewing sunrise, and another full bathroom.
All bedrooms have air conditioning & ceiling fans for your comfort.
Basement: washer and dryer, half bath, storage for beach items, coolers, etc.
Third floor: the third floor will be locked off and unavailable to guests during the summer. Sorry.
Amenities: high speed wifi, radio, cd player, record player, amazon fire tv, DVD, movies, books, full kitchen, gas grill, outdoor dining patio, beach chairs, beach blankets, beach towels, fantastic water pressure, parking (2 spaces). Safe kayak and bike storage on property.
We want people to enjoy their stay here. As our guests, you are welcome to use any and all of the books, cds, dvds, records, and games while you are here. Treat them like you would your own.

Summary: We loved staying here! Its a fun home with lots of history. It's conveniently located to everything in Bar Harbor. Seriously, two blocks from the grocery store. The French Restaurant is 2 blocks and fabulous. We are foodies and we were not disappointed. We would love to come back again! Thank you, Dan!

Summary: What a perfect place to spend some time in Bar Harbor! The home is as pictured and better. The record collection is top notch and perfect for morning listening with tea / coffee on the back patio (which, by the way - really appreciated the tea selection, it’s rare to find in a rental and I usually have to buy a bunch while coffee is served aplenty). The location is perfect for getting around town, out to Acadia, etc. We stayed for 2 weeks and worked from there the second week - it was as perfect as it may appear. Highly recommend staying at Dan & Jodie’s place in Bar Harbor!

Summary: Thank you t o Dan and family for sharing your home with our family again. The location was perfect for a visit to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park - walking distance to the town, grocery store, and all amenities. Easy, friendly and timely communication with Dan was perfect. House was just as we remembered with lots of games, music, convenient accessories, and WiFi. House guest book had all the information we needed. Thanks so much for the recommendations and the Mt. Desert Island ice cream treat! Thank you

Summary: The location of the home (Windhaven) was absolutely perfect for our family. It was wonderful being a 5 minute walk into Bar Harbor and not worry about parking. It only took a few minutes drive to get into Acadia Park. Great house, amazing location!!!

Summary: Would highly recommend this property for how delightful the house is, the location - in town with easy walk to the Island Explorer (Park bus), many restaurants and interesting shops. The owner responded promptly to questions and allows the renter to enjoy his property including access to a large collection of music and movies/games etc. So many great things to do - visit Acadia, hiking, whale watching and so many more things! The food options were incredible - the freshest lobster, amazing homemade ice cream, artisan pizza while watching a movie at the local cinerama. A great family vacation!

Summary: We traveled from Orlando and very much enjoyed our stay at this property. The location in Bar Harbor was perfect for our family and close to everything we needed. There were a great number of options for dining and shopping all within walking distance. The drive to Acadia National Park was convenient. The owner was extremely responsive before and during our stay. We had a minor issue with lights not working upon our arrival and he responded by text/phone immediately. For those traveling from the southeast, it's important to note that a majority of the homes in Bar Harbor do not have air conditioning like we do in the southern states. It was toasty the week we were in Bar Harbor and it was difficult to adjust to no a/c, although fans were provided in every room. The neighbors were a bit noisy during the middle of the night...their noise probably exacerbated by sleeping with the windows open. The bedding was extremely comfortable and the home quaint with unique decorations throughout. The property could use some upgrades, and more lighting on the first floor, however, the location makes up for all of it. We also enjoyed the record player and extensive record collection. The family games were a great deal of fun. We will definitely plan to return but will likely travel in the fall instead of July/August:-) Thank you for everything!

Summary: Everything was as advertised. Nice house with old world charm. Property manager was great took care of the only issue we had promptly. Could use one or two more fans since there’s no AC. Global warming is having an impact even in northern Maine. Thanks
