  • This gracious, Queen Anne Victorian style home built in 1877 has 7 bedrooms and 5 full bathrooms and is located in the heart of Bar Harbor's Historic West Street district. Petunia Cottage offers an ideal central location, only a block away from the shops in downtown Bar Harbor and at low tide you can walk across to Bar Island from Bridge Street. The lovely wrap around porch with 6 rocking chairs is an ideal place to relax after exploring nearby Acadia National Park.

The wine room area has an additional sink and beverage center. The separate Laundry room has 2 sets of front load washers and steam dryers.
