Dreamy Design that Feels at Home in Maine

Modern Amenities with a Touch of Whimsy

Your Home Away from Home at the Doorstep of Acadia National Park

Available for long-term rentals (31 days or more), The Willow House is a custom-designed private home just steps away from all the action and activity of downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Yet, because of where it’s based – nestled on a wooded one acre on the western edge of West Street – it feels as though you could be miles away with the sense of utter privacy and seclusion. Add in the fact that guests also have exclusive access to all the amenities of Harborside Hotel, Spa & Marina – and sibling Opal property West Street Hotel, in which this home was created in partnership with – and you’ve got the makings of one beautiful Bar Harbor vacation.

Two Resorts Just a Stroll Away

The amenities of the Harborside Hotel, Spa & Marina – plus sibling Opal property, West Street Hotel – are just down the road from The Willow House. And as a registered guest, you have access to it all, including the trio of pools, variety of restaurants, gym and tennis courts, as well as Opal Spa.

Acadia’s Attractions

Park Pass Included

The beauty of Acadia National Park is that it’s so vast and varied, exploring every nook and cranny of its 47,000 acres would take a lifetime. And since you’re here for at least a month, there plenty to pack in. That’s why an annual park pass is included for your use throughout your stay.

Play on the Property

Activities Right On-Site

There are plenty of activities if you’re looking to do a day entirely on-property. All you need to do is turn to the back yard boasting a grill, fire pit with Adirondack chairs, and lawn games galore – everything from volleyball and badminton to horseshoes and cornhole.

Rainy Day Diversions

Game On for Game Night

The house comes stocked with board games for a night of friendly competition between families or competitive couples. Classics include Scattergories, Sorry!, Monopoly and many more.
