Comfortable Spacious Victorian Central Bar Harbor, 5 bedroom 2 bath

Ledgelawn Cottage, a nineteenth century home on Bar Harbor's historic Ledgelawn Avenue, is steps from all the attractions of downtown and a few minutes from Acadia National Park. Stroll to the village green, restaurants, shops, theaters, museum, Shore Path, free Island Explorer bus, tennis courts, skateboard park, playground, and Sunday farmer's market. Acadia Park entrances are a few minutes' drive away. Ledgelawn Cottage offers lots of space for gathering and spreading out.
The home's entrance is a large enclosed porch with ample seating. Once inside, the first floor's five spacious rooms include the reading room with books for adults and children, and local maps and guidebooks, a comfortable living room with TV, a large fully stocked kitchen, the dining room with games and puzzles, and seating for eight to ten, and our big new family room currently under construction, with TV, gas fireplace, and a queen sized pullout couch providing a completely private first floor bedroom.
The first floor also includes a powder room, separate shower room, and laundry.
The second floor has a full bath, an office with two desks, and four spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed. There is a bedroom with a queen-sized bed, a room with a double brass four-poster, and a room with two twin beds. A pack-and-play and a wooden toddler bed are also provided.
Outdoors, there are a gas grill, lawn seating, and picnic tables. The driveway holds up to three cars.
Ledgelawn Cottage is a non-smoking, no pet vacation home. Dogs cannot be considered under any circumstances, regardless of breed, due to severe family allergies. We welcome up to ten staying guests (including children and babies), with a maximum of fourteen people on the property at any time.

Fall family vacation

We had a wonderful stay here for our fall family vacation. The home has plenty of space for families and little ones, comfy beds, and a well equipped kitchen. Lots of useful maps/brochures of town, a cute little “library” reading area (with even a thoughtful kids library). The location is perfect for walking into downtown restaurants and shops. All very walkable. Julie was a friendly, helpful and responsive host. We highly recommend booking!

We took a girls trip to Bar Harbor to celebrate our 60th birthdays. The location of this home was perfect. Quick walk to restaurants and harbor. The host is very responsive and provides a charming home with lots of character. We enjoyed our stay. Be sure to read the guest book as there are great recommendations for restaurants. 15 minute drive to Acadia National Park.

Downtown Bar Harbor

This house was extremely clean and centrally located. It had plenty of space for our two families of four. It’s also very close to the town park which our group went to many times to play tennis and pickleball. The one quirky thing to know is that the downstairs bathroom is split into two rooms - one with a toilet and sink, and one with a shower and sink. There is a full bathroom upstairs. All in all, it was a fantastic property which suited our needs very well.

Comfortable, classic home with excellent Bar Harbor location

This is an old, classic home that has been tastefully and thoughtfully decorated and furnished. Our middle son had his wedding ceremony in Acadia and reception in Bar Harbor. As such we had two couples (family) and three adult sons stay at the house. Plenty of spacious rooms for gathering, eating, or 'separating' for a quiet reads. The weather was 'sketchy' so we could not use the beautiful patio or back yard, but also cute and comfortable. Kudos to the owners on a lovingly tended home.

Charming 4 bedroom Victorian in Bar Harbor - clean and well equipped.

A charming clean Victorian "cottage" located in Bar Harbor a short distance from restaurants & shops, and a very short drive to Acadia NP Loop road. Kitchen is well equipped. Four separate bedrooms as listed. Bath in upstairs main washroom. Shower adjacent to laundry room on main floor, and a separate 2 piece washroom on main floor as well- all in all charming and functions well.

Great location in a cute city!

5/5. This property is in a wonderful location - walking distance from shops, restaurants & bars. Very close to Acadia also!! How cool is that? It’s a safe little area as well. The house matched the listing with plenty of space. There is no A/C; however, that is common in the area for many of the homes given the climate. There are lots of fans provided and keeping windows open cools the place down a decent amount. The host is so kind and accommodating - I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She will make your stay comfortable and stress free. We loved our stay!

Great location for family reunion

We enjoyed staying at Ledgelawn Cottage for a sibling family reunion. We had plenty of spaces for gatherings as well as comfortable rooms for sleeping. It was a warm week in Maine, but the Victorian house had great ventilation with ample big windows and fans, and every evening got cool. We even ate outside one evening at the picnic tables and bugs were not an issue. Julie was very communicative and the house has so many generous extras. The kitchen had excellent appliances, more than enough dishes, and great pots and pans. And being able to walk into town during peak season was stress-free and festive!

Overall fine

This was a great, large house that was very comfortable for the seven of us. Tip for anyone who has never stayed in Ledgelawn Ave—sleep with earplugs so you can have the windows open (you need that w no AC) so the trucks don’t wake you in the morning. Also, there a couple details that I hope the owner can look into—there was a big lobster pot, but no lobster cracker, pick or tools. There were extra pillows, but no extra pillow cases. No big impact, we got our own stuff. Lastly, the driveway ledge is a bit high so we put down pebble bags to protect our car from scraping. Other than these little details, the house is great and we enjoyed our stay immensely. Definitely recommend!

Home Away From Home

We try to visit ANP at least every other year and like to stay right in Bar Harbor. This was our first time staying at this location but depending on availability it won’t be our last. Seven adults stayed comfortably here with large bedrooms, enough bathrooms and plenty of room to prepare meals, eat, play games and relax. We especially loved relaxing on the front porch after a busy morning of hiking before we walked into town to explore the many restaurants and shops.
