Parkview Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Built at the turn of the century and thoughtfully updated with modern comfort in mind, this charming home will give you a wonderful glimpse of historic Bar Harbor. Here on the edge of Glen Mary Park on the southwest side of the village, you'll be able to walk to the heart of downtown, the oceanfront shore path, and Acadia National Park.

Upon entering this single-level home, you'll be greeted by the original front porch with wrap-around walls of glass that frame views of neighboring Glen Mary Park. Step inside to find a living room that's warmed by a wood-burning fireplace, a full kitchen with white appliances (including a dishwasher for stress-free clean-up), and an adjacent dining room where you can sit down for homemade meals. Toss the day's clothes in the private washer/dryer, head outside for a barbecue on the gas grill and an al fresco dinner on the fenced-in back patio, and end the evening with a movie on the flatscreen TV in the family room. When it's time to turn in, you'll have four bedrooms to choose from - a master bedroom with a queen-size bed, another queen bedroom, and two bedrooms with a pair of twin beds apiece.

What's nearby:
This home is located on the edge of Glen Mary Park in the village of Bar Harbor, with the center of town only half a mile northeast. You'll be able to walk to the Bar Harbor Shore Path that traces the ocean coast, as well as a number of wonderful shops, cafes, and restaurants in town. The boundary of Acadia National Park is immediately south, allowing you to reach the Park Loop Road within minutes whether you're walking, riding your bike, or driving.

High-speed WiFi

July visit
We loved Bar Harbor. The house is walkable to the town square. It was quiet and has off street parking. Management responded quickly to a maintenance concern. The kitchen had what we needed. Wi-Fi for 7 people was tough but we liked our stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Wow
Unbelievably filthy, old (not vintage, old dirty falling apart) and uncomfortable. They did credit us a little for the lack of cleanliness however it took away hours of we calling and waiting on the phone talking to various people to get it to happen. Have never had such a bad experience in a rental especially for the price point. Can’t believe they can continue to rent this place. Not to mention you can lock the front door but the windows next to the front door don’t lock so it’s not very safe.

Not an accurate depiction of the home
Not what we expected - home is old and tired. Decent location but not what the pictures showed on the site.

Walkable
The property was very walkable to town and had a nice cozy outdoor space. I would recommend bringing or buying at the store any condiments needed for basic cooking. This particular property doesn’t have salt/pepper/oil due to their leave absolutely nothing behind policy. For the price we were a bit disappointed with the overall appearance.

From the moment we booked this property until the final day of our vacation, the vacasa property management team was extremely helpful and quick to answer any questions we had. They worked over and above while we were there with any issues we had. Thank you for making our stay wonderful!
