We had a comfortable, quiet stay at the nook. It was what my wife and our dog needed, just far enough away from the bustle of the main town but close enough to hop in and out as we pleased. The place is cozy and comfortable, and check in and out process was smooth and easy. Would stay again 👍 ##### Saumya B.

It needs either a new cover of a very thorough cleaning. ##### Hans L. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 23 Sept 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good location Overall, this was a good place to stay if you wanting a quick and easy place while visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia. Would recommend painting lines for parking spots. There were many times it was a tight squeeze to fit in the allotted parking spot due to others. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cynthia A. 16 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for 2 and a pup! The Nook is a lovely little apartment and the pictures on VRBO depict it accurately! Great location/proximity to Hulls Cove Park entrance and downtown Bar Harbor. Quiet, clean, nice deck and fire ring. The shower is small as described by others. Otherwise the space is perfect for 2 people. I recommend this property! ##### Cynthia A. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### cathy s. 20 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### The Nook Very clean , comfortable place for two. The kitchen is tiny but equipped with all the basics you need. The view from the deck is of a pretty busy road and beyond that you see a bit of the pond. The area/neighborhood is very nice. The AC is great. There are a few nice lobster restaurants nearby without even having to drive into Bar Harbor and it's easy access to the park (which is fabulous). The shower is very tiny- if you are a large person you may be uncomfortable. ##### cathy s. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric C. 14 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Home Base We were looking for a perfect location, close to all the typical hikes and also near the city. The "Nook" provided that and much more. We were about 15 minutes from town, the loop road and Cadillac Mt Summit road. We were not at the house much, but it was such a cute well laid out place. A great little deck to sit out on and enjoy the meteor showers also. The only complaint we did have was the bed was so noisy, every time you tried to roll over the thing squeaked up a storm lol. But from all the hiking we were able to sleep anyways. Highly recommend staying here!! ##### Eric C.

Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ingrid 15 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Spacious house for a couple (and a dog) in close proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia NP. Nicely updated, clean, and well stocked with all the basics! Owner was great to communicate with. Proximity to Route 3 made it a bit noisy. ##### Ingrid Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dora F. 27 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent property with caveat Very nice and convenient location. Impeccably clean and well stocked with kitchen and bathroom supplies, as well as access to shared laundry including detergent. My only caveat is that the bed is extremely uncomfortable, and very noisy with even the smallest movement. I reported this to the owner and can only hope it will be addressed, in which case, I would happily stay there again. ##### Dora F. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andres S. 8 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean and quiet stay Nice little cabin with a parking spot. 10 minutes away from Bar Harbor and Acadia Hull Cove Entrance. Property manager was very responsive and quick to resolve a problem we had with the heater. Good spot for everything we needed for a relaxing week ##### Andres S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Tom L. 4 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute Place Nice place. We enjoyed the relatively private location, not too far from Bar Harbor and an entrance to Acadia. Nice little deck with a BBQ, nice yard and fire pit. View of the pond is nice, though it is a bit far and across a busy road. That brings some road noise during the day, but it was quiet at night. The portable air conditioner kept the place comfortable, as long as we remembered to turn it on when we were out for the day, and in the evening. Bed was VERY firm, more than we were used to. All in all, a nice place to stay. ##### Tom L.

Owner was present and helpful and property was perfect for our needs. Was able to bring our dog too. Would recommend to friends and stay again ##### Wendy H. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2021
