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

This is very special house for me and my husband.
Years ago I used to live next door working the crazy summer hours, 3 jobs and trying to build a better future for myself.
Then I met someone special, yes him... So it happened on a date, we went for a long walk, on the way back to my home then, we stopped at the corner of this very house, and we stayed, talked and giggled for hours... This is where we kissed for the very first time!

Thus the name "The Reminisce", hopefully you folks are going to make just as great memories here as we did!

This home had originally being build in the mid 1900s.
The house had gone a lot of chopped renovations and changes over the years. It just never felt complete....
We took on this project as a great challenge, we preserved the shell and solid bones from this tired old home and did absolute gut remodel to bring it back to beauty.
