2 Bedroom Cottage in Bar Harbor

'Thankful Cottage' is walkable to all of downtown and is roomy for a couples or a party of three The cottage rents by the week, Sunday to Sunday.
'Thankful Cottage' is located in the Village of Bar Harbor near the Town Pier, Town Beach, historic Shore Path walk, and the Museum in the Streets self guided walking tour. Built before the Civil War, the cottage has been lovingly rehabilitated and features the perfect blend of nostalgia with modern amenities. The cottage has off street parking and is walkable to boating, shopping, dining and cultural activities. Bar Harbor is named for the 'bar' to Bar Island which forms the harbor. Bar Island, portrayed by David Maitland Armstrong in his late 1800's painting, 'The Bar, Bar Harbor', is visible from the cottage.
The entire top floor of the cottage is a king bedroom suite with two sitting rooms (one with water view), walk-in closet, full bath and deck with water view.
The first floor includes a fully equipped modern kitchen with full size appliances, living area with gas fireplace, den with pull out twin bed and a second full bath.
Wonder why the cottage is named, 'Thankful'? We traced the deeds back Thankful Rodick who in the mid-1800's lived in the cottage. While Bar Harbor is thankful that this little cottage has survived for 170+- years, we actually named her after the person Thankful.
The cottage, on the Bar Harbor Historic Properties list, is a popular destination for honeymooners and couples celebrating anniversaries.
We hope you will be 'thankful' that you picked Thankful Cottage circa 1850 for your stay in downtown Bar Harbor. What could be better after a day of boating, hiking and shopping, followed by a gourmet dinner, than a walk home to your own historic cottage in the heart of Bar Harbor?

Summary: Thankful Cottage is so quaint and the perfect place to stay while vacationing in Bar Harbor. The location is within walking distance to downtown restaurants, shops, paths, etc., and having a parking spot for the week was a huge plus. Sher is a wonderful host. She emailed information on the area in advance, met us upon arrival, and was available for any inquiries during our stay. We had a wonderful vacation and definitely recommend Thankful Cottage.

Summary: the only negative has nothing to do with the property. Bar Harbor starts to close down this time of year and alot of places are closed, but overall a 5 star place to stay.

Summary: The cottage is located in the perfect place. We like to go antiquing but have never had the opportunity to stay in an antique. The 1850s cottage was so cool and the story behind it is fascinating. I would recommend this property, I don't think we could have stayed in a better place. A friend of mine has stayed in another property owned by the same couple that is in front of the Friendly Cottage several times. He is the one that encouraged us to come to Bar Harbor and stay here. I am so glad we did. AWSOME 7 days Thanks

Summary: We had a wonderful time during our week in Bar Harbor. There are so many things to see and do but best of all was our stay at Thankful Cottage. It is a 150 year old cottage just oozing with charm. The owners, Sherry and Ivan, are great hosts and have planned everything to make your vacation special. It is right in Bar Harbor so near everything.

Summary: If you want to stay in Bar Harbor, there is no better place to stay. The Rasmussen are the most gracious of hosts. We spent a week here several years ago and were planning a repeat trip in 2020. The pandemic changed that but were accommodated without penalty and with a kind email asking us for our decision before again putting it on the open market. The cottage has all the amenities for 2 or 3 guests. There is a nicely stocked kitchen. One is basically in town but secluded and within walking distance to restaurants, shops and specialty stores. Unless we were unable to climb the steps to the bed/bath area there is never a place that we would rather stay. We are Thankful!

Summary: We had a wonderful experience staying at the Thankful Cottage. It was nice to be right in Bar Harbor with a parking spot and not have to worry about parking meters, etc. Sherry was so nice and helpful. Provided us with all kinds of information about the town and things to do. The cottage was so cute and clean. It was perfect.

Summary: We spent a week at Thankful cottage and it was perfect for us! While others are walking several blocks to get to hotels, we were literally minutes from downtown and the sea wall. The cottage is well kept and charming and the owners are very hospitable! A wonderful experience!

Summary: Sherry and Ivan have a gem of a rental property with loads of history. Thankful is centrally located and convenient. The cottage was cozy and quite comfortable. We enjoyed reading about the history of the cottage which made our stay even more enjoyable. Sherry and Ivan were great to work with. Sherry communicated great suggestions when the weather did not cooperate.

Summary: Sherry and Ivan rescued this gem of a cottage and have lovingly restored it into a perfect Maine home-base for a trip exploring Acadia National Park. Everything that we needed was here, and the owners were at hand to help with questions and recommendations, and even sent us a lot of information about the area before our trip. We could not have asked for a better place to stay, hosts, or a better vacation!
