About this apartment rental

(This property is registered with the Town of Bar Harbor, License #VR2R26-295) (Please note, during the summer weeks and based on availability, we prefer a weekly rental with a 7 night minimum stay. All other stays have a minimum four nights per town rules.)

THE ART NOOK

Located on Cottage Street in the heart of downtown Bar Harbor, the Art Nook puts you within easy walking distance of virtually everything Bar Harbor has to offer. You'll have your own off-street parking space, allowing you to park your car when you arrive and enjoy the convenience of walking to restaurants, shops, the waterfront and many of Bar Harbor's attractions.
The Art Nook comfortably accommodates up to four guests with two bedrooms, each furnished with a queen bed, and two full bathrooms with tub/showers.

The second-floor apartment has been thoughtfully renovated and decorated, with original artwork throughout. The spacious living area provides a comfortable place to relax after a day of exploring, while the modern kitchen is fully equipped with everything you'll need to prepare meals at home. The apartment also includes a laundry room, high-speed Wi-Fi, Smart TV and cable TV, Smart Lock entry, and full air conditioning.

WALK EVERYWHERE

One of the best things about staying at the Art Nook is that you can park your car when you arrive and walk almost everywhere. Restaurants, shops, the Village Green and the Shore Path are all within an easy walk, and the Island Explorer is nearby for exploring Acadia National Park without having to move your car.

The grocery store is only a block away, along with bicycle, kayak and motor-scooter rentals. Bar Island, part of Acadia National Park, is also just a short walk away. At low tide, you can walk across the exposed sandbar and hike Bar Island for beautiful views of Bar Harbor. Be sure to check the tide schedule and allow plenty of time to return before the tide comes back in.

EXPLORE ACADIA NATIONAL PARK

The free seasonal Island Explorer bus can be reached at the Village Green, making it easy to explore Acadia without having to drive everywhere. The Island Explorer provides access to many popular destinations throughout Acadia, including Cadillac Mountain and Sand Beach.
If golf is your thing, historic Kebo Valley Golf Club is also nearby. Established in 1888, Kebo is the oldest golf club in Maine and the eighth-oldest in the United States, and is open to public play.

A COMFORTABLE DOWNTOWN RETREAT

After a day of exploring Acadia, come back to a bright, comfortable and beautifully decorated apartment right in the heart of Bar Harbor. Our guests consistently mention the exceptional location, cleanliness, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable living space and convenience of being able to walk everywhere. Several guests have told us they barely moved their car during their stay—and that's exactly the experience we hope to provide.

Come stay at The Art Nook and enjoy the best of Bar Harbor right outside your door!

The Art Nook is the perfect getaway to Bar Harbor! We enjoyed being able to walk everywhere (although we had reserved parking, we never moved the car). Not a bad restaurant in town. Easy access to Acadia. The house was spacious with 2 full bathrooms, spacious kitchen and family room area. Tons of windows make this home a gem!We’d love to return to The Art Nook!

Exceeded our expectations! The condo was clean, well decorated and very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Communication was excellent with Bobby.We enjoyed our stay in Bar Harbor and visits to Acadia. We highly recommend this property, walking distance to town and shuttle to Acadia which was helpful due to heavy visitor traffic to the parks. Thank you for the stay!!

The place was beautiful, spotless and the perfect location! What more could you ask for? There was plenty of room and it was nice to have the AC and washer/dryer. One of the fun things to do at low tide is walk across the sand bar to Bar Island. The starting spot for the sand bar is literally two blocks down the road from the rental. In addition there are two bike rental places a block away. You should absolutely rent e-bikes and ride the carriage roads in Acadia. Lastly, every restaurant is walking distance from the property. Some of our favorites were the Thirsty Whale (great crab roll & clam chowder), Side Street Cafe, Paddy’s Irish Pub, and McKay’s Public House. Do not, however, be fooled by the lines outside of Jordan’s for breakfast. It is bland and super average.
