About this property

Welcome to Moose Manor Bar Harbor. This is our home, and we would love to share it with you! Located on Federal Street, Moose Manor is a 1904 New England-style house with all the upgrades and conveniences of modern living. Freshly painted throughout with exquisite, fully-equipped designer kitchen and a fully updated bath. All the comforts of home in one perfect location, walking distance to everything.

There are 3 bedrooms which comfortably sleep 6. One bedroom has a queen bed, the second has one full and twin bed, and the third has a twin. There is one bathroom (with a wonderful claw-foot tub!) on the second floor. Each bedroom includes wall mirrors to reduce demand for bathroom mirror time. Master bedroom includes a dressing table with light/mirror. All bedrooms have abundant sunshine and ocean breezes.

The front of the house features a wonderful enclosed porch with a bistro table/chairs, rocker and futon. Perfect for morning coffee or an afternoon nap. The soft sound of local seagulls is often present.

In the back of the house, just off the kitchen, you'll find a small wood deck with a Weber grill and chairs to enjoy the cool afternoon breeze while your steak is grilling.

The kitchen has everything you'll need if you choose to prepare some of your own meals during your stay, including some basic pantry items for your use. Top-of-the-line small appliances (including Bunn coffee maker!) are available as well. Other items include Belgian waffle maker, 4 slice Cuisinart toaster, blender, food-processor, Crock Pot, pots/pans and bake-ware as well as an OVER-SIZED lobster pot for boiling your own 'catch' right at home! Easy instructions provided.

Although you'll probably want to get out and enjoy all that Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park has to offer, the home is also supplied with 'rainy day items' should you choose to stay indoors. 32' LCD TV, DVD player, and a wide selection of books, DVDs and games are available for your enjoyment.

The best location and comfort

We had a great stay at this property. The location was important to us and this house was ideal. We walked to everything...restaurants, shops, supermarket, all the sightseeing in town. We biked from the home to the carriage trails which was our criteria for picking a place to stay. The home was a home...comfortable, clean, cozy. We loved sitting on the screened in porch having a glass of wine after a day in the park. Would definitely stay here again.

Awesome location and property layout

We had an amazing time in Acadia with our family of 6. Our two boys shared the large second room, our almost teenage daughter enjoyed the smallest charming bedroom, and we shared the largest bedroom with our baby daughter. It was a perfect layout for us. We were so happy to walk into town for ice cream and dinner after long days of hiking! We also loved the awesome downstairs layout and the porch, where we watched the torrential rain on Wednesday. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were so comfortable! We were so happy here. Thank you!

Perfect Location!

We completely enjoyed our stay in Bar Harbor! Moose Manor is in a great location right downtown and had very easy parking! The whole town was walkable including the grocery store so we only needed the car for our daily hiking and biking excursions into Acadia. Kitchen was supplied with everything we needed, and the house was comfortable! We would not hesitate to book again!

About the host

Hosted by Paul Strathman

We are Paul and Joy Strathman and we had lived in the Midwest for the past 25 years. It all began when we took a trip to Maine, simply because we'd never been there before.

Since then, we've been back to various parts of Coastal Maine every year and while we enjoy all the towns we've visited, we have fallen hopelessly in love with Bar Harbor. As so often happens when one visits a very special place, one's mind wanders into the possibilities of someday living there.

Moose Manor Bar Harbor is truly a dream come true. This 1904 New England-style residence is perfectly located right in town; walking distance to everything. We have filled Moose Manor with things we love and have included all the comforts that we enjoy when we are there. We hope that you will enjoy our very special home and likewise fall in love with Bar Harbor.

What makes this property unique

While on one of our early visits to Bar Harbor, we went for a walk. As we passed by this house, my wife said, 'Paul, please buy me that porch!' We both chuckled and continued our walk. Little did we know that we would not only someday buy the porch, but the wonderful home which sits behind it as well!

This inviting home has been lovingly cared for by each owner since the house was built in 1904. We are only the 4th family to own this property. The warmth and charm of Moose Manor is captivating and it's fabulous location cannot be beat!
