The Old Charm of Cozy Victorian in downtown

Newly renovated Victorian style apt (on 2nd floor) with a lot of charms and a hideaway deck. Right in downtown, walkable to everywhere, 5 min to island explorer/bus stop, Village green, library, museum, historical churches, kids playground, many restaurants, and more. You’ll love it because of the quiet you rarely find in the busy town and the convenience of the location, which allows you to easily catch a free shuttle bus to anywhere in the park without the hassle of driving and parking.

- A plus for this one-bedroom apt is that it has a separate living room space with a door (can be used as a second bedroom), which allows visitors to have their privacy. The sofa bed is a full size (recommended for no more than 140 pounds for your own comfort )
- Outdoor space with table and chairs
- The apartment located on the 2nd floor
- Off-street parking
- Laundry room is on the first floor which is a corner room next to the stairway.

Great find!
This modest apartment in town had everything we needed and was so convenient. All the best restaurants were within walking distance as well as the harbor itself. It is so close to the park you can rent bikes in town and bike from there

Nice, comfortable, and convenient apartment in a good location.
We had easy walks to downtown while also having backstreet access to the apartment and Acadia NP. The weather was hot and there was no a/c, but with the fans provided and cooler evenings, it was not a real problem.

Great vacation!
We enjoyed staying here very much. Location was great. Apartment was clean and well furnished. Ruddy responded quickly to our inquiry about what to do over a matter. We were able to easily walk downtown and enjoy the shops, parks, bakeries, and wonderful views! Easy access to Acadia National Park.

Good Location
The property is in a good location and very walkable to the downtown area. The layout of the rooms is very workable with a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bath. The owner Ruddy is very responsive to any questions or concerns.

Property Pictures are Outdated!
Rented the second floor apartment because of the deck. Not only does it not have any view (except a rundown neighborhood), there is no longer a tree or vine near the deck to provide privacy. Recycling was kept on the deck and the furniture was too dirty to sit on. The kitchen is so small that the refrigerator could not be opened without moving a chair. and it was lacking in basic pots and pans, I had to purchase a baking sheet to cook. Also, a note said we shouldn't use two of the burners on the stove because it would damage cabinets. I have never written a negative review but the description of this place was misleading. I am glad that we were able to spend most of our time hiking in Acadia National Park!

Right in the heart of Bar Harbor
Ruddy's apartment was the perfect place for my boyfriend and I to rest during our vacation in Bar Harbor. The location is fabulous (a short walk to the heart of town) and it was a very quick drive to any sights we wanted to see at Acadia National Park. In addition to the location, the apartment was clean and there was lots of space for us to spread out while we were there. The patio was perfect for eating breakfast, reading a book, etc. I would highly recommend! It was very reasonably priced for the location and privacy.
