Bar Harbor Guest House with Sunset, Ocean & Mountain Views | House in Bar Harbor
2 Bedroom House in Town Hill, Bar Harbor
Relax and recharge while exploring Mount Desert Island and nearby Acadia National Park. Nestled in the peaceful village of Town Hill, our family’s guest house offers comfort, convenience, and stunning sunsets with views of Clark’s Cove and Blue Hill on 16 acres of private family land.
Situated at the head of the island on the west side, the property is perfectly placed for breathtaking sunsets. You’ll be just 6 miles from the Acadia National Park Visitor Center, 9 miles from the heart of Bar Harbor, and 8 miles from the Eagle Lake entrance to Acadia National Park.
Our family resides on the property year-round, providing attentive support and a prompt response to any needs during your stay.
Recently, we added a heat pump to the vaulted second-floor loft. This upgrade will provide dedicated air conditioning for the upstairs space, along with an additional heat source when needed. Two heat pumps already serve the first floor, ensuring comfortable climate control throughout the home.
