Highview Apartment-Amazing views from this newly built carriage house near ANP

*****

Highview is a very appropriate name for your accommodations, it far exceeded our expectations.

I can state without reservation that Highview Apartment exceeded our expectations from the moment we walked up the stairs and looked out and saw a stunning view of the harbor. Our host Ken was exceptional in all respects in making us feel welcome the moment we arrived. His knowledge of the area and all of the amenities were outstanding including all dining options available in the area. A highlight of the trip was our biking of the "Carriage Road" around Eagle Lake. The availability of the e-bikes was unexpected and appreciated, as well as being dropped off with information about the ride and his insights of the park. This was unexpected and appreciated. The accommodations were comfortable and well appointed with everything we could possible need. We were lucky to see several clear night sky conditions and had I known I would have brought my astrophotography gear and taken advantage of the "dark sky" nature of the region.

It was truly a pleasure!

Highview Apartment proved to be a luxurious stay in Mt Desert Island. The studio apartment, located over the garage of the main house, had a private entrance that opened up to a living room of windows and uninterrupted views of Frenchman Bay to the east. The sunrises were breathtaking. The apartment- from the linens to the kitchen-was immaculate and furnished with all the amenities for an at home stay. Sliding glass doors in the living room opened to a spacious balcony with seating for more than two. The kitchen appliances were modern and high end and the cupboards stocked with glassware, dinnerware and basic cooking supplies. The bedroom was extremely quiet and comfortable for two, with plenty of windows, a sitting area and closet space to get settled for the week. Access to laundry (washer and dryer) was an extra plus, as was the outdoor fire pit. It was an only a short drive to Acadia National Park's Visitor's Center and the bike trails leading to Eagle Lake and beyond. Bar Harbor was only a few more miles down the road. Highview Apartment was a an ideal and really unbeatable week at Acadia National Park. Thank you for making this property available. - (Oct 2024 - AvailabilityOnline)

Highly recommend.

If you are looking for a vacation that is quiet, relaxing and with stunning views then this is the place! Only 10 minutes from downtown bar harbor and quick easy access to Acadia. Honestly, my wife and I made less trips to Acadia because the views from the property were better! The hosts are fantastic and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend. - (Sep 2024 - ABNB)

Pictures do not do justice to this extraordinary apartment.

Pictures do not do justice to this extraordinary apartment. The views from the deck are breathtaking. Every single detail of this home is exquisite, and the owners have made this a true oasis. Too many amenities to name- but you will want for nothing. There is a beautiful outdoor space for a fire and grilling station. The home over looks the water providing exquisite views. The owners are fabulous and available for anything needed. We spent a week in September with our little Yorkie and it was perfect. Close to Bar Harbor and Acadia. This is the place we will stay in anytime we return to the area. Highly recommend!! - (Sep 2024 - VRBO)

We really enjoyed our stay at the carriage house and would love to return!

We really enjoyed our stay at the carriage house and would love to return! It's in a great location. Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor are less than ten minutes away. And, the kitchen, family room and balcony have a beautiful view of the bay. If you are looking for a peaceful place to relax and get away, you'll appreciate every moment at the carriage house. We loved being able to cook, grill and spend time on the balcony with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. The carriage house is new, has contemporary decor and the bed is very comfortable. The hosts were kind and helpful and Ken offered to help us start a fire in the fire pit if we had any difficulty. Our week went by too quickly. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did! - (Jun 2024 - ABNB)

We cannot imagine a better place to stay when visiting Acadia!

We cannot imagine a better place to stay when visiting Acadia! The apartment is spotless and every detail and convenience was thought of and supplied. We enjoyed watching the sun come up every morning from the deck and listening to the owls and saw some deer from up there too. The kitchen has everything you need to cook your meals, if you like. We cooked breakfast each day. The owner is just the best! And we have always had great experiences with owners. He was just so kind and helpful. We had lots of questions about the area and the home he built and he was patient and generous and kind. It was hard to find the place but that was not his fault- there just happened to be a glitch on the app. The agent, Acadia Cottage Rentals, put the correct address in a message to us, but the address information on the "Trip" portion of the app was incorrect. It was a minor inconvenience that I'm sure will be corrected soon. It did not spoil this wonderful getaway! - (Nov 2023 - ABNB)

I can't say enough WONDERFUL things about our stay at Highview.

I can't say enough WONDERFUL things about our stay at Highview. The views are breathtaking and the apartment is beautifully decorated, clean and had everything we needed. There is even a drawer with toiletries if you forgot something. The owners were great and Ken was so helpful with his knowledge of the area. There is a great sitting area for renters with a table, grill and fire pit. Ken hooked us up with a local place for fresh lobster and when we returned, he had the steamer pot outside ready for us. He even gave us a ride to and from Bar Harbor because parking is so bad. Ken went above to make sure our stay was fantastic. Highview is located 3 miles from Bar Harbor and 1 1/2 miles from the entrance to Acadia. Book this place, I promise you won't regret it. - (Oct 2023 - AvailabilityOnline)

STUNNING PROPERTY ~ SUPERSTAR OWNERS/HOSTS!

STUNNING PROPERTY ~ SUPERSTAR OWNERS/HOSTS! Sunrise from the private deck is spectacular (you can skip Cadillac Mtn.), sunsets on the property are like a fire in the sky, the lack of light pollution = star gazing from the deck (yes!). The owners have really thought about the guest experience as they provide brand new travel sizes of personal care products in the bath, complimentary access to many streaming platforms, a washer & dryer along with detergent for guest use, plus so much more, The grounds were immaculate with an abundance of wildlife that you can watch right from the apartment (we were treated to turkeys and deer almost every day). There is a path down to a rocky beach that we had all to ourselves ~ you have to check it out-we loved it! The apartment was thoughtfully designed, is well-appointed and has high end finishes throughout. The owner [ Ken ] is extremely friendly, attentive and responds without hesitation. When coming back to Bar Harbor I will only stay here!! - (Sep 2023 - ABNB)

The view across the bay is incredible!!

This above garage apartment is new and beautifully appointed and decorated. The view across the bay is incredible!! We could have just sat on the deck all day and enjoyed the view. The owner is incredibly responsive and helpful and lives in the main house on the property. The amenities include an outdoor barbecue, and fire pit. It is a very short drive to both Acadia and Bar Harbor. We cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. Thank you!! - (Sep 2023 - ABNB)

An incredible experience overall.

Highview was amazing location. Perched atop a large hill, the views were simply amazing. Sunrise was spectacular. The apartment was meticulous, and the owner had incredible attention to details and quality. The exterior included beautiful landscaping, rock work, fire pit area, outdoor dining area. Minutes from downtown and even closer to Acadia entrance. The owners were the nicest folks and very helpful. An incredible experience overall. The property was phenomenal. We will be returning to this location again. - (Sep 2023 - ABNB)

Highly recommend this rental!

The place was in impeccable/new condition. Everything worked and the amenities were as described or better. The owner was extremely available and helpful and went above and beyond to give advice about the area when we asked. The owner was very gracious with the house and its facilities. The area is minutes from the Visitor's Center of Acadia National Park also very near the main town of Bar Harbor. There is a beautiful view of the bay, and the surroundings are very scenic. Highly recommend this rental! - (Jul 2023 - ABNB)

We could not have found a better location

The cottage was absolutely the nicest home we have stayed in - the entire cottage was very high-end, very well decorated with super comfy furnishings. We could not have found a better location as the view of the ocean was spectacular and the cottage is nestled away in a hill-top, secluded neighborhood (looked like the highest point) with beautiful trees and foliage. It is only 3 miles from the city of Bar Harbor (dining) and super close to Acadia National Park -- perfect location. The cottage has every amenity needed and a wonderful outdoor area with an extensive grill station. Ken, the host, was awesome too. He was very friendly and explained everything about the property and he has in-depth knowledge of the area and of Maine. He was a pleasure to talk to. Overall this stay was one of our best and hope to return again in the future. - (Jul 2023 - ABNB)

The view from the big balcony is phenomenal.

Probably the nicest Airbnb I have ever stayed at. They had absolutely everything you could possibly want or need. The apartment is beautifully designed and tastefully decorated. Everything is new and super clean. The view from the big balcony is phenomenal. The location is 7-8 minutes from the bar harbor village and Acadia hiking. When I needed anything the owner was incredibly generous and responsive and accommodating. It was just me for this stay, but it would be a very comfortable and cozy place for a couple. Don't even think twice, you'll be so happy here!! - (Jul 2023 - ABNB)

The views are stunning

We stayed for four nights and couldn't have been happier. It was private, quite and comfortable. The views are stunning. Alan provided a comprehensive list of restaurants. The town of Bar Harbor is very close, and we enjoyed a few tours. I highly recommend this rental and hope to visit again! - (May 2023 - ABNB)
