Bar Harbor House | Historic Downtown Home. Walk to Everything. <5 NIGHT MINIMUM IN SUMMER>

3 Bedroom House in Bar Harbor

***PLEASE NOTE: Windhaven has a five night minimum in summer. Discounts for two, three, four week rentals are possible too. ****
Originally built in 1911 for Captain Snow, the first Maine Seacoast Mission captain, Windhaven is a charming reminder of the Golden Age of Bar Harbor. High ceilings, spacious rooms, spruce ceilings in the bedrooms and 2,000 square feet allow you to relax in style. Or, if you prefer to sit outside, there is a covered deck off the main floor of the house, perfect for catching evening breezes off the ocean.
Below the deck is a secure storage area for bicycles, kayaks, canoes, etc.
Since its construction, the house has served as a family residence, a Bed and Breakfast and an inn. At present my wife and I are in the process of turning it back into a single family home. Windhaven is right in the middle of Bar Harbor village but nestled off a quiet side street and then further nestled into an even quieter side street...making Windhaven "off a quiet side street" squared. You will hear the occasional tolling of bells from the Holy Redeemer church down on Ledgelawn.
From Windhaven you can walk to all the shops and restaurants in town. Walk to movies at Reel Pizza and the Criterion Theater. Stroll over to the village green, catch a summer concert or hop on the free Island Explorer shuttle and discover more of MDI.
First floor: designer kitchen with all the amenities, separate remodeled prep kitchen, custom bar, dining room, half bath, library / music room, large living room with flat screen TV, DVD, Amazon Fire TV (HBO, HULU, Amazon Prime Movies, Netflix, etc.) side patio with gas grill, deck with a clear plastic corrugated roof for maximum light, deck furniture for relaxing or eating al fresco.
Second floor: huge master suite with queen tempurpedic, full bathroom and separate office / library space, two other bedrooms upstairs contain double beds and access to second floor balcony great for viewing sunrise, and another full bathroom.
All bedrooms have air conditioning & ceiling fans for your comfort.
Basement: washer and dryer, half bath, storage for beach items, coolers, etc.
Third floor: the third floor will be locked off and unavailable to guests during the summer. Sorry.
Amenities: high speed wifi, radio, cd player, record player, amazon fire tv, DVD, movies, books, full kitchen, gas grill, outdoor dining patio, beach chairs, beach blankets, beach towels, fantastic water pressure, parking (2 spaces). Safe kayak and bike storage on property.
