Location A+
We stayed for a week the end of October and couldn’t have asked for a better location. The kids loved the close park and we all loved the short walk to downtown Bar Harbor. Owners were quick to answer any questions or address any (minor) problems that we had.

Magic in Maine
We loved our stay in Maine at the Chickadee Cottage. It was a great location close to the downtown area. The cottage was quiet and located in a nice neighborhood. We went to a family wedding in Acadia National Park….what a magical place! Downtown was a little busy cause of some cruise ships docking in the harbor. It has many great restaurants and lots of lobster to eat in all kinds of ways! Can’t wait to return again!

Lovely cottage in the heart of Bar Harbor
Marie’s cottage was such a lovely home to stay in while we visited Bar Harbor. The house was clean, comfortable and cozy. It was so nice to have a kitchen and washer and dryer to use during our week in town. It was a short walk into Bar Harbor and a very short drive into the park. I drove to Eagle Lake to run daily and it only took me 5 minutes. Marie was so easy to communicate with and very responsive. Would definitely rent again!

About the host

Hosted by Marie Yarborough

Host profile image
We have lived in Bar Harbor for over 20 years. Marie began working at the Jordan Pond House during summers, earning money to pay for college. After traveling to France to visit family, a road-trip across the United States, and finishing graduate school she moved to MDI for good. Kyle came to Acadia after graduating from college in the South. He planned to work in different national parks across the country. After working in Glacier National Park in Montana, he headed to Acadia for one season, where Marie and Kyle's paths finally crossed. The rest is history! We now own and operate a small restaurant in Bar Harbor and Marie is a Ranger at Acadia. We feel lucky to call this amazing place home, and could not imagine raising our young family anywhere else.

Why they chose this property

This property is close to everything wonderful about in-town Bar Harbor, but still quiet and residential-the best of both worlds. You can sleep with your windows open and smell the ocean when you wake. It is modern, clean, uncluttered, and filled with all the amenities you'll need to make your stay relaxing. We have a personal and professional knowledge of the park and MDI, and would love to share our favorite spots to enjoy the park and island with you.

What makes this property unique

You won't find an easier, more convenient place to stay in Bar Harbor, if you are a family or a couple! You can walk to the Great Meadow Path right from the cottage, or hop in your car to access the Park Loop Road in 5 minutes, at the end of our street.
