About this property

Nestled between Bar Harbor and Acadia, a bright and spacious house in the woods

  • Welcome to Woods and Waters, a spacious and bright 4-bedroom home abutting Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, ME. We are Spruce Properties Bar Harbor, also available online at sprucepropertiesbarharbor.wordpress.com. Please visit our website to reach us directly or learn more about our properties.

    Walk up stairs and enter a lovely, welcoming entryway with plenty of space for shoes and bags. The house flows into a comfortable, open living and dining area with a cathedral ceiling and skylights that fill the space with warm natural light. The kitchen is fully stocked with quality knives, non-stick pans, and tupperware, and is easy to cook in while partaking in conversation in the living room/dining room. We have plenty of books and games to enjoy on the cozy couches, a breakfast nook that looks out into the woods, and a small upper deck for coffee or stargazing. I would describe our house as nothing fancy but comfortable and functional.

    The first floor holds the living area, kitchen, half bathroom and 2 bedrooms, one with 2 twin beds and one with 1 twin bed. On the second floor are 2 bedrooms with queen beds, the laundry, washer/dryer, and a full bathroom. The master bedroom in particular is spacious and bright - enjoy birds-eye views of Champlain Mtn or star gazing through the sky lights.

    Woods and Waters is located 3 miles from downtown Bar Harbor on one of the most scenic stretches of Route 3 passing between Champlain and Dorr mountains. The house has a private location set back from the main road and nestled against Cadillac Mtn, giving the feeling of living in the trees but close enough for quick trips to town or to the beach. It is <1 mile from the four most iconic and scenic hiking trails in Acadia. To access Otter Cliffs, Seal Harbor beach, or Compass Harbor, drive a short 3 min in either direction. There is a hidden stream about 1/3 mile from the house with a small pool. It is unmarked, so to seek it the finder will need to be comfortable navigating the woods. A perfect place to explore all that Acadia has to offer!

    Notes: This property is NOT handicapped-accessible. For A/C, we have heat pumps in the downstairs and master bedroom and fans for all rooms. Pets considered upon request. There is parking for 2 cars next to the house. Bar Harbor rental registration #1825, license #VR2R26-220.
