The house is fabulous: interesting, well laid out, lots of private nooks but great gathering space. Owners are so responsive. Location can’t be beat: quiet street but close to lovely ocean path, walk out to Bar Island, shops, groceries, 10 minute drive to Acadia visitor center. Our family of five was delighted with everything about our stay. ##### Linda M.

The second floor was a Mason's lodge that has been converted to a four bedroom, four bathroom second floor apartment/space. The common area is expansive and gorgeous with a beautiful mix of modern and antiques. The kitchen is small but well stocked and has high quality appliances. We were 3 couples and had a fantastic time at the Mason Lodge and Bar Harbor. ##### Ashlyn H.

It was perfect for our family. The location was incredible and very close to all that Bar Harbor has to offer. The property was impeccably clean and Kay and Augusto are wonderful and so easy to communicate with. We had a wonderful experience and certain hope to return in the near future. If we could leave 10 stars, we would. Thank you, Kay and Augusto, for opening your home to us and just being wonderful people. We appreciate you! The Gower Family ##### Dana G.

Only negative was corner shower with curved door. Claustrophobic and not big enough for most of my family members. Plus downstairs guest complained of water leaking in their unit in middle of my shower. No leaks noted in our unit. ???? ##### Kim J.

Although we had some fun with the disco ball in the grand room, it seemed just a bit out of place (and installed like an afterthought)? The kitchen was under equipped (bring your own extra-large lobster pot for a larger group!) and the grill was in the yard, not on the deck as pictured (not convenient at all) Each bedroom does come with its own bath - unfortunately 2 of the bathrooms are outside of the respective bedrooms with entries exposed to the common areas. The entry door to the 2nd floor is a set of basic black slab doors that detract from the overall beauty of the entry foyer. Overall, we enjoyed our time at the Mason House, unfortunately when comparing this facility to what we paid and have experienced (at similar facilities) in the past -this apartment comes up short. ##### William A.

My son’s wedding was in Bar Harbor and my family stayed with us in this wonderful home and we were shocked how incredible it was. Very clean, very comfortable, just perfect.
