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 lives on the property year-round, ensuring attentive support and quick response to any needs during your stay.
In 2026, we will be adding 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.

Summary: The property was clean, modern, very comfortable and very peaceful. The hosts and property manager were friendly and available without being intrusive. They gave us some great suggestions for places to visit that we wouldn’t have found on our own. The view from the house at sunset in the picture is even more beautiful in person. The property was lovely. There’s a bocci court and a deck with table and chairs that was nice for outdoor meals. The location was excellent for getting to all parts of Mount Desert Island while also being easily accessible for exploring off-island. And it was very quiet. To top it all off, the beds were extremely comfortable (unlike the pricey hotels we stayed in before and after our time at the house). We had 6 adults and 3 cars at the house with no issues. We enjoyed the amenities: barbecue, pool table, 3 TVs, 2 full baths, leather power reclining sectional upstairs and, of course, the pool table. There was also a selection of games a group or family could enjoy. The kitchen had microwave, convection range, refrigerator/freezer and all the pots and pans you’d need for your meals. They even had a Keurig for your morning coffee! It’s a great place for adults and kids. I highly recommend it.
