Our stay at The Perch (kids 15, 13, 9) was simply amazing. We booked our vacation plans 30-45 days and boy did we get lucky with The Perch.
It was a very short drive to Bar Harbor and while we didn't walk it, we sure thought about it. The view out the back of Cadillac Mountain is amazing, my wife and I sat outside after hikes and it was great! A few deer walked past The Perch and the road that you see in the pictures is really quiet and not an issue at all.
We stopped for a few groceries before getting into Mount Desert. We neglected to get shampoo, soap, paper towels, etc. and we were pleasantly surprised that the house was SO well stocked with everything you need. That was so great. The elevator was a kid favorite, used for the heavy luggage or just a ride down at night.
The beds, towels, covers, etc. were comfortable. It was unseasonably warm in Bar Harbor during our July stay (a shame for folks from FL). The AC worked really well, the automatic shades provided good privacy and shade.
The parking pass was A-MA-ZING. When we drove to Bar Harbor (for the great restaurants) we watched others driving around trying to find parking. We turned into the designated parking area, pulled into our assigned spot and voila, DONE!
We didn't have any issues during our stay but did check in with the property manager "C" and he was so responsive every single time. If you are reading this and planning a trip to Bar Harbor, just book it! Will we stay here again? YES!!
