Hathaway Cottage - modern, beautiful home in the heart of Bar Harbor near the water

*****

Very nice accommodations.

Very nice accommodations. So close to all the restaurants and shopping and a 5 minute walk to get the sand bar to Bar Island. We really enjoyed our week. Thank you - (Nov 2024 - VRBO)

We had a fabulous stay at Hathaway House.

We had a fabulous stay at Hathaway House. Everything was as described and overall I would say this house was very clean and comfortable. The location was fabulous and we walked everywhere. The kitchen was well equipped and ready for any cooking you might have during your stay. The furniture was comfortable including the beds. I give it only 4 stars because the bathroom/bedroom set-up made it a little quirky/inconvenient. All 3 bedrooms were upstairs. The master had a full on suite bath. There was also a half bath upstairs for the other two bedrooms. There was another full bath but it was located downstairs off the kitchen. Not ideal, however we made it work. The other additional comments would be easy fixes to make it more comfortable. We had 2 couples stay for a week, and as the couple that didn't have the master, would suggest adding a TV to the other King room upstairs. And add a full mirror upstairs that can be used by the guest not in the master. - (Nov 2024 - ABNB)

This was our first time in Bar Harbor, first time in Maine - we loved the home!!

This was our first time in Bar Harbor, first time in Maine - we loved the home!! It was very clean and comfortable, the owners really do a great job with simple but comfortable decor. Made us feel right at home!! We loved the porch on the second floor and appreciated having the fans. The weather was great - we had warm days so having the fans in the home made it for even more comfortable moments the times we were there. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us - we look forward to our next visit!! - (Sep 2024 - VRBO)

Our stay was all we could have hoped for and more!

Our stay was all we could have hoped for and more! The place was lovely, well-stocked and in the perfect location in downtown Bar Harbor. We especially loved the deck, the backyard and the incredible sound system. We will definitely be back for another memorable stay! - (Sep 2024 - ABNB)

If/when we go back, we'll be looking to stay here again!

Our family of 6 stayed here for our trip Acadia and Bar Harbor. The house was very clean and well appointed. The location right next to the harbor can't be beat. If/when we go back, we'll be looking to stay here again! - (Jul 2024 - VRBO)

We had a 5 star experience

Had a fantastic time at the Hathaway Cottage. We felt right at home, it was clean and comfortable, beautiful area and so much to do. The location was perfect for visiting Acadia NP and walking around Bar Harbor. We had a 5 star experience and would definitely look to stay here again. - (Sep 2023 - ABNB)

The location of the house could not have been better.

We had a great week in Bar Harbor. The location of the house could not have been better. We could and did walk to shops, great food, drinks. Easy to get to the village green for the bus to Acadia. House had plenty of room for everyone in our party. After a morning hike or a visit to Sand Beach, the deck was a great place to relax with a book or watch the activity going by. Would stay at this home again in a heartbeat. - (Sep 2023 - ABNB)

Our enthusiasm for the house is obvious

We have stayed at Hathaway Cottage for nine of the last eleven years, so our enthusiasm for the house is obvious. It feels like our second home, and we love the location. Dan is a wonderful, attentive landlord whose wife makes the best blueberry pancakes on MDI at CTW! As we age and deal with serious health problems, we know our Maine getaways are numbered, but we were especially thrilled to squeeze in a week this year. You both make it all seamless and easy. We hope to be back. - (Aug 2023 - Previous)

It was perfect!

The house is just beautiful and the location is excellent. There is very little traffic on the street but it's located less than a block away from restaurants and shops. We would love to stay there again when we visit in the future. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay.

Fabulous home in the middle of town

The home was clean, sun-filled, and perfectly sized for our family of four. We slept soundly in comfortable beds and admired the homes structure and decor. The location was ideal for a family of teens. We trekked into Acadia each day and enjoyed cooking in or walking to dinner each evening. Family members could head out to shop, listen to live music, or find coffee or ice cream solo which was fantastic as we don't keep the same schedules!

Great Place

Perfect location! Right in town walking distance from everything. Short car or bike ride to Acadia National Forest. The house was clean and well kept. Nice outdoor patio and grill. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again!

Fabulous place to call home for a week!

Hathaway Cottage is a superb rental. It is conveniently located to the harbor, restaurants and stores. The accomodations are first class. You can relax on the balcony, enjoying the view of Frenchman's Bay and the activities on the street. Occasionally, horse drawn carriages would pass by. The house itself is comfortable and well equipped. We will schedule future visits around the availability of this wonderful home!
