About this property

Sunny Acres - a spacious sanctuary -10 acres just 4 miles from Acadia Hulls Cove

4 bedroom, 3 bath 2240 sq ft home sits on upper side of hill within 10 acres full of wildlife in quiet neighborhood of Bar Harbor. This open concept Colonial home was built in 2014 and is positioned to enjoy all day sun and fabulous sunsets, with a 40 X 12 foot deck to enjoy every moment of those views.

*7 night minimum stay in peak summer months with Sunday check in*

Pricing reflects main home which features a large open kitchen, dining and living space highlighted by a two-tier island with four seats, with one bedroom and bath on 1st floor and upstairs are another 3 bedrooms, 2 baths (Master bedroom has own double shower and jacuzzi tub in master bath). Large windows let natural sunlight shine through all day, and because we are on a hill, is also great for viewing the amazing night sky in Maine!

You may make a request with owner if you wish for your dog to join you (additional $150, see rental agreement).

With a 40 foot deck and patio below off the daylight basement, there's an additional 1000 sq feet to enjoy the outdoors, without even stepping foot in to the grass in the large yard!

Note: If you wish to invite more than 8 to join your visit, the daylight basement is another open living area with a couch, coffee table, two reclining love seats,, plus has a large full bathroom and two additional side rooms that could accommodate 4 people (2 beds). Please let owners know if interested in having access to this basement level space and we can provide rates. Otherwise it will not be included in your stay. Please note, we do not rent basement to separate parties at the same time.

Home is located at the end of lovely neighborhood road conveniently right off Rte 3, approximately half way from bridge on to island and village green/downtown area of Bar Harbor. A large, spacious home situated in close proximity to all the adventures of Mount Desert Island and Acadia national park. We are around corner from Norway Drive - a common cut over to get to Northeast Harbor, Southwest Harbor, Bass Harbor, Tremont, or all the other quiet and more hidden areas of MDI and Acadia.

There are some guide books and a map of Acadia for you. Plus some board games, books, puzzles, and some movies with DVD player. High speed internet and a smart TV located in living space and master bedroom which also have Roku, where you are welcome to use our basic channels (Amazon prime, Netflix, Disney+) or add your subscription to get your own preferences for other channels. (Basement living space and master bedroom also have tvs with Roku set up.)

We are environmental stewards and love renters who also believe in conserving water, leaving no trace behind, and leave it as you found it (or better) mentality. This home has a private well and septic system where extreme constant water use can ruin it. Like all private wells, they are self sustaining if you allow for water to replenish between use. You cannot flush any grease or food products down drain and should never flush anything besides tp down the toilet (even if packaging may tout ‘flushable’).

Closest water -3 miles to Hadley Point ocean inlet or a 5 minute car ride to Hulls Cove; Or just walk 1 mile to Hamilton Pond and Salsbury Cove or 1.5 miles to Emery Cove where MDI Biological Laboratory is located.

*** Cleaning and disinfectant practices in place recommended for Covid-19, with disinfectant supplies at house for renter use while at home. ***

Closest entrance to Acadia National Park - 4 miles to Hulls Cove Visitor Center

Closest restaurants - Bar Harbor Lobster Pound, Sweet Peas or Mainely Meat BBQ (have indoor and outdoor seating or take out). C-Rays lobster is only outside.

Distance to Bar Harbor village green - approximately 6 miles; Free trolley stops close by on Rte 3.

Distance to Cadillac Mountain - about 10 miles

Wonderful Home
Had a wonderful stay at this home. Spacious, clean and kitchen was big and had everything we needed and more! Beds were comfortable and the whole house was spacious. The deck was very nice and we saw several stars and the Milky Way from there. House is located in a nice quiet wooded area. Kellie was great, she checked in to be sure we had what we needed and even before we arrived was quick to respond to any questions I had. She had great suggestions to what to see|do in the area. We had 4 adults in our group and would recommend to anyone!

Great Location Close To Everything
This home is in a great location within short distance from the main Acadia entrance and close to Bar Harbor. The house was perfect for two families to share comfortably and was quiet and beautiful. I was not happy with the amount of constant texts and messages from the host however. When on vacation we like to take it easy and relax, not easy to do with three small children to wrangle. The host was texting me often about getting her maintenence person into the house (two days during our 1 week stay) and I felt pressured that we should leave and get out and about early and often, plus an early morning phone call and text about the garbage going out, which we had already done. Our trip would have been more enjoyable without this disruption, otherwise it was a great place to stay.

Woodsy and relaxing
Lovely home at the end of a cul-de-sac. Nice big yard where the deer and wild turkey would visit. Room to play frisbee and soccer in the yard. A relaxing hammock too. The layout of the house was great for our group. We had 6 adults and 2 children two years old and younger. Wonderful time to relax with family.

About the host

Hosted by Kellie & Mike Guarino

Host profile image
A Maine family owns this home and cares deeply about the community.

Why they chose this property

We built this home on this hillside because we loved the views, the land, the wildlife, the neighborhood, and the close proximity to all of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

We love the outdoors, and had to have a full length patio and deck as a first priority with the home (each 40 feet long) fact this was higher priority than building a garage and well worth it.

What makes this property unique

The sunsets are spectacular! The sun heats the lot all day long (house is situated perfectly). Because we are on the hill, the views looking across the sky, even tracking the moon crossing the sky from the deck or even as you lay in bed from the master bedroom is pretty amazing at night!
