3 Br Private Vacation Home Vacation Rental In Bar Harbor, Maine

New Modern Home-Mountain views, hot tub. Walk to town, trails, and golf course.

Kebo Ridge House is uniquely situated in Bar Harbor’s newest private subdivision. Large windows offer expansive views of Cadillac Mountain, and bring the outdoors in.

Kebo Ridge House is located on the edge of town with a 10 minute walk to all downtown amenities. It is also situated alongside the golf course. On the ridge is one of the closest homes in Bar Harbor to Acadia. Trailheads to Cadillac and Dorr Mountains, the iconic Jesup Path Boardwalk, and the Park Loop Road are a short 5 minute walk. There are very few homes on the island that afford this direct access to both town and the park.

Kebo Ridge House is incredibly peaceful and private. As you enjoy the large 2 acre property, it’s easy to forget that the hustle and bustle of town is so close, just a short trip down the hill. *There is a small path on the side of the property that provides a walking shortcut to town.

The space:

Our home was inspired by modern Scandinavian and Nordic architecture and our travels to this region. The design focus was to bring the outdoors in. We kept the living spaces uncluttered, and bright. The house looks outward, and keeps those enjoying the house together in airy living spaces, or brings them outside to enjoy the modern patio and outdoor living features.

Upstairs main living area:

The upstairs main living area of the house features an open concept living space, with large windows that look over Cadillac and Dorr Mountain. The space is light, bright, modern and clean which highlights the beautiful view like a dynamic landscape photo.

There is a large couch and two chairs in the living room, and a dining table that seats six. Adjacent to the main living room, there is an office nook featuring a loveseat and stand up work space.

The modern kitchen is clean and efficient. It is outfitted with new quality appliances, including a Thermador fridge and Miele speed oven.

There are two bedrooms upstairs. One bedroom features double sliding doors that open up to the kitchen area, making it a great flex space for reading, studying, or playing. This bedroom features a pop up twin trundle that converts to full bed. The second bedroom features double closets and a king bed.

The main living space and both upstairs bedrooms share the main bathroom, which also includes a washer and dryer.

Lower level living space:

One enters the home on the lower level, and travels upstairs to the main living spaces. For this reason, the house may not be the best fit for people who have trouble climbing stairs or young children.

The entrance opens to a mud room perfect for shoes, coats, and gear. In keeping with Scandinavian traditions, we ask that you do you best to remove shoes before heading upstairs.

There is one bedroom on this level. The bedroom is a larger suite sized bedroom with screen doors that open up to the outdoor patio. It features a queen size bed and a trundle bed that cant be used as a sitting couch or two twin beds. This is the largest bedroom in the home. There is a half bathroom on the lower level.

Outdoor space:

The outdoor space is designed for living. It features a large wrap around concrete patio with outdoor seating and a small fire ring. There is also an outdoor dining table for six. There is a sunny southern side facing the lawn and meadow and overlooking the mountains, and a shady north side featuring a Cedarworks Playset.

We will have an Outdoor grill with side burner for guests to use. This will be appropriate for meats and items that would otherwise require a hood. The house oven is a European oven , so it is small.

Other Important Things of Note:

The house features radiant flooring, triple pane European windows, and two distinct sleeping spaces on each level. The house is small and efficient, but filled with great light filled spaces that bring the outdoors in. The house has central A/C provided by a heat pump.

About the owners:

We are longtime Bar Harbor residents. We use the park on a daily basis; running, hiking, biking and walking. The unique access to both town and trails that this spot provides was a combination we could not pass up. We love our neighborhood and community and are so happy to share both with you.
