Summary: This was a lovely experience for our adult family reunion. The location was ideal for access to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The home is a grand mansion of the 30's, well maintained, with plenty of room to spread out. We especially enjoyed evenings by the fire pit over looking the harbor. We would definitely return.

Summary: We had a great time staying at Bay View. House views and location were amazing. We frequently walked into town and were in Acadia in minutes. Plenty of space to spread out or to be together for meals, games, etc.

Summary: Our kids asked for memories for Christmas and birthdays so we began in 2020 with Glacier with 10 of us. 2022 was Olympic and Mt Ranier with 11 of us. 2024 pick was Acadia, Bar Harbour with 13 of us! We have treasured all of our destination memories and defineltly the Bayview did not disappoint!! The property is excellent for kids and adults to have their own rooms and all enjoyed the amazing kitchen with enormous balcony with fire pit and seating for all. We really appreciated the air conditioning since as an historic mansion was not common for the time period but since our week was above normal temps was so nice to have cool sleeping and eating areas. I reached out to property manager for suggestions for my 5 grandkids ranging from 5 to 14 months tours and suggested possibilities. Their recommendations of DiverED was a huge hit with all; so thankful for Knowles for all they helped to make our 2024 family trip to be treasured!

Summary: Our extended family of 18 had a wonderful stay at the Bayview. We were enchanted with the home and it’s history. The location couldn’t be better with easy access to both town and Acadia. The pictures really don’t do this place justice!

Summary: The house is situated on a beautiful piece of property right on the water and a short walking distance to Bar Harbor. There was more than enough room for our group of 6. Kitchen is well stocked with appliances, pots, pans, etc. The terrace out back is so lovely! We enjoyed sitting out there in the morning with our coffee and then again at night looking at the stars. Very private location. I would definitely recommend this property.

Summary: We were a family group of 17. 15 adults and 2 teens. From the first moment we drove up we loved this beautiful house! The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. Most had sitting areas and large closets and bathrooms. The sitting room was large with plenty of seating. The tv room and pool room was fun for group games. The kitchen was newly renovated and well equipped. The views were beautifully from the patio, grass and dock. If you are feeling ambitious you can walk to Bar Island or into town. The only issue was some of our family needed to check in with work and had minor WiFi issues. We highly recommend this house for large groups looking to connect with both nature and a historic site.

Summary: We found the property description in the listing was accurate and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Although there was only four of us, the property could comfortably accommodate 18 people. The spacious kitchen with its 12 burner gas stove , double dishwasher etc. has 3 seating groups each accommodating 8 people - this is in addition to a large formal dining room with seating for 12. All the 9 bedrooms are on the second floor with 7 full bath rooms (there are 3 half-baths on the ground floor. The large terrace on the ground floor offers a sweeping view of the bay with numerous seating groups and a commercial size BBQ grill. We would definitely recommend this property for a large group.

Summary: Wonderful home on a beautiful piece of land. The location was ideal, as we walked into town most days, and enjoyed the local restaurants and hiking trails. The oceanfront views will be with us forever. We enjoyed the comfy patio furniture and the bluestone deck where we enjoyed our morning coffee and evening fires. The kitchen made mealtimes easier, and the washer and dryer were a godsend. Comfortable beds, baths, and sitting areas. We enjoyed card games in the formal living room while my daughter played the piano. The ocean life was fascinating for the kids and adults. Most days we were able to watch a deer and her baby eat out of the beautiful garden. Lovely trip!
