"We had a wonderful vacation this year with our family and friends. Thanks for making that possible. This is a wonderful place to stay - the location is perfect, the house is decorated so beautifully, and we had lots of room. This is our 15th year coming to Maine, and this house is the best."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our family vacation in Bar Harbor and at Arbor House and Stork's Nest. The location was perfect for walking everywhere. All the restaurants, cafes, and ice cream parlors we tried in town were great."

"My three year old didn't want to go home to her "old room", since her "new room" was much nicer. Maine is amazing and we are sure to return!"


Miscellaneous Guest Comments

“Your house is a perfect home for families to enjoy time together, yet to have some privacy too! Walking out the front door and being on Main Street in a few minutes, and then also walking to the waterfront in minutes – big pluses for a summer vacation.”

“What a wonderful place! We brought more than a dozen runners to the Marathon this weekend, and your home was a marvelous gathering place for us all.”

“Our families had such a wonderful time being together in both houses! The weather was fine, the location was great with easy access to shopping, Shore Path, restaurants, museums, and the Village Green.”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you! We have rented many houses in our home state, and this ranks right up there! Your attention to detail made this such a comfortable week. It’s just two houses off Main Street, but a completely quiet oasis and the most comfortable place to come home to.”

“Another wonderful visit!”

“Our family had a great week on MDI, due largely to your house. Everything was just right and the location cannot be beaten!”

“On our 18th time to Bar Harbor we had a wonderful time here at Derby Lane Cottages – best location in the whole area!”

“Although it rained several of the days here, we made the best of things. The house is very welcoming and homey, and couldn’t be better situated to enjoy strolling the town and heading out to explore.”
