6 Bedroom House in Bar Harbor

Built circa 1872, Abendruh Cottage is a quintessential, historic Bar Harbor summer home, and one of Bar Harbor's first summer cottages. This charming home is located on a Albert Meadow just a stone's throw from the beautiful Shore Path and Frenchman's Bay, and is a block from the Village Green and bustling downtown Bar Harbor. The property features a luxurious wrap around porch with an expansive lawn (perfect for croquet and badminton), large stone terrace with an iron fire pit, fully updated chef's kitchen, lovely gardens and an outdoor shower. As the owners' family summer home for three generations, it holds history, memories, and beautiful original furnishings from days gone by. There are hardwood floors throughout, lovely antiques, unique windows, four access entries, and plenty of outdoor seating for relaxing and dining.
The first floor of this airy, spacious cottage features a living room, a sitting room with gas fireplace, a study (with a sleep futon), a glorious formal dining room (seats 10), a large, modern chef's kitchen, kitchen table area with a farm table and gas fireplace, separate laundry room, and a 1/2 bathroom. There is also a lovely deck right off the kitchen, where the gas grill is located.
The second floor features a huge master king bedroom (with a twin daybed as well) and full bathroom (with small claw-foot tub and walk-in tiled shower). A large hall connects the queen bedroom, two single bedrooms, and another full bath with a long, old-fashioned bathtub. The back hallway leads to a bedroom with twin beds, another with a double bed, large back bathroom, (with tub and shower), and back stairs leading down to the laundry room/kitchen.
Amenities include internet TV (in study), DVD player, WIFI, dishwasher, washer/dryer, outdoor shower, two gas fireplaces, gas BBQ, and parking for up to 5 cars.
Experience the summer cottage life... take a walk down the iconic and historic Shore Path each morning, sit on a bench in Grant's Park, breathe in the salt air and take in the extraordinary view. Try to climb Balance Rock, the way summer visitors have been doing for over 100 years. Cook a lobster dinner and eat it outdoors on the porch. Amble up to Main Street and the Village Green to go shopping or get ice cream and choose from myriad wonderful restaurants for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Go out and explore the best of Mt. Desert Island and Acadia National Park, including hiking, biking, boating, whale watching, canoeing (kayak and canoe tours), lake swimming, carriage road walks, horse back riding, wonderful dining, shopping, deep sea fishing...Visit the Oceanarium, sail on the Margaret Todd, take a Jackson Lab visitors tour, enjoy tea and popovers at the Jordan Pond House, or golf at a PGA top-rated course.
But most of all, take time to relax on Abendruh's front porch with morning coffee or evening glass of wine and a good book, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Summary: Great house, great location, great area. If you get good weather, this is an incredible week. Real enjoyed the porch.
Rezie J. Sep 2, 2024 10:53:43 AM
Summary: Great location and size.
Robert T. Aug 10, 2024 01:50:52 AM
Summary: Overall we liked the property especially the location if Bar Harbor is your desired destination. I would have given it an overall five star except for the bathroom set up. Overall the bathrooms are “vintage” and only two showers, others are tubs with no hand holds. The furnishings are owner cottage feel and a little tired. However overall we like a “homey feel vs rental home feel.
Bill D. Oct 20, 2023 03:11:37 AM
Summary: The house was awesome. Close to everything, very clean and well maintained. Will be looking to stay again if we come back to Bar Harbor
Katherine O. Oct 19, 2023 07:32:26 AM
Summary: We stayed for a long weekend and were delighted with this property. Fantastic location, comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen, and a front porch that we spent all our free time enjoying. We were sad to leave and will definitely return!
Kevin L. Sep 26, 2023 06:54:41 PM
Summary: We enjoyed being lazy travelers in this lovely home. It has plenty of room- more than just the two of us really needed- but was a nice vacation spot- very centrally located. We really enjoyed sitting on the large covered front porch as well.
Karla H. Sep 21, 2023 08:33:39 PM
Summary: The home was perfect for 8 women that have known each other for 60 years. There were lots of beds, bathrooms and sitting areas for all of us to gather. The kitchen was well stocked and very useable. We spent the afternoon around the firepit telling stories. The location is perfectly walkable to downtown for dinner and shopping as well as a quick walk to the ocean shore path. The house was clean, lots of towels and comfortable beds. The host was available and gave us good advice preparing for hurricane Lee. We highly recommend this property for your friends or family get together.

Summary: We love Bar Habor and have been several times. This was our first house. Perfectly situated with two minute walk to the water and to the heart of downtown Main Street. 4 minute drive to grocery story to stock up as well as we had the house at full capacity and had a fire going outside almost every evening. The renovated kitchen lifts the house accommodations up a bit as the rest of the house is original but super well maintained. Not every room has a “shower” but this wasn’t an issue for us and a couple enjoyed a bath for the first time in ages. I see why several comments are from families coming here for years. Kyle was super helpful as well and does a great job maintaining the property. Would definitely stay here again.
Rebecca H. Aug 29, 2023 09:29:32 PM
Summary: We had a fantastic time with family and friends in Bar Harbor and this house served as the perfect spot as it’s conveniently located a block from town and a couple of miles from the Acadia National Park entrance. The house was appointed with everything one needs to prepare and serve a large family dinner. A perfect place to build lifetime memories. We would recommend this spot to all!

Summary: We had a great stay celebrating an 80th birthday. The house is an amazing location, and we had a great time.
