About this property

4 bedroom beautifully decorated 'Down East ' retreat!

HOBO Retreat-#434334 (beautifully-decorated, well-stocked, and well-maintained weekly-rental property) – comfortably sleeps up to 8

This gorgeous, 2-story 1874 home is a perfect place to vacation, as it is strategically-located on the Island, has a large kitchen/dining area that is well-stocked, has a large yard, a wonderful back patio and also a special “picnic area” with 2 picnic tables next to the home. HOBO Retreat has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a convenient laundry room, and is well-decorated with a coastal theme throughout. We even made a special bedroom/bath with a Pirate Theme for the children! (We are child-friendly and have available 2 toddler stair gates, as well as a Pac N’Play and sturdy highchair, if needed. We apologize, but we cannot take animals, as some renters are allergic and we must respect them also.)
Our “Retreat” is located 3 miles onto Mt. Desert Island, is 4 miles to Acadia National Park entrance/Visitor Center, and is a quick 10- minute drive to reach downtown Bar Harbor (where there is shopping, eating, excursions of all kinds, Shore Path with its historic homes and plaques to provide information about the area). Our home is also readily accessible to any of the 5 Harbors located on this island, each harbor with its own “flavor” and atmosphere.
Available in HOBO Retreat, we have put together two special handouts for our guests: “Suggested Things to Do/Experience” on/off the Island, and “Recommended Eats” on/off the Island.
Please view our photographs in this listing, as they contain pictures of this property, and a variety of photos suggesting things available to experience in this beautiful area! We hope you thoroughly enjoy your time on Mt. Desert Island, as it is very special, is a place to cherish and make wonderful memories with those you enjoy and love!
(NOTE: If this rental is unavailable during your requested time frame, please check out our “HOBO Chalet-#999493”, a newly-constructed and beautiful home that also sleeps 8 comfortably. It is located toward the back of this property by the peaceful woods, insuring your privacy, and has also been loved by all who stay there!)

Seniors reunited
Former neighbors met at the Hobo Retreat for 6 days of exploring Bar Harbor and lobster eating. The kitchen is completely equipped, the 2 bathrooms gave each couple privacy and the back porch was a great place to relax.

Great places for our family reunion
We rented both houses on hobo lane for a family reunion. Both houses were beautiful and well kept and stocked. We enjoyed making s’mores around the fire pit! The houses are located so that everything is just a short drive away. Thank you to Heather and Bob for hosting us on our first trip to Maine!

About the host

Hosted by Robert Overly

Host profile image
Bob & Heather from Phoenix Arizona have 6 children and 8 grandchildren. Bob is a small business owner and Heather is a physical therapist for more than 39 years. Our favorite past time is coming to Maine, hiking Acadia Park, exploring the Coast, and relaxing (and working!) on our cozy getaway home!

Why they chose this property

While vacationing here in July of 2008, Heather saw this house with a 'For Sale' sign in the front yard. Since we were both really 'taken' with this Island, we backed up, took a peek at the house, and soon after, decided to invest in a getaway so different from the Southwest. After returning home to Phoenix, we made an offer and the rest is history. We have a summer home 3013 miles door to door from our home in Phoenix, and look forward to each summer when we return to Maine!

What makes this property unique

Our home in Bar Harbor is the only place that we really feel like we are on vacation and while we are there, we stop thinking of our work and the problems of the world. It truly is a very relaxing place and you can never run out of new experiences and adventures on the Maine coast.
