Our party of 4 adults stayed at the Boys' Room, which is actually a suite with 2 generous size bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen. Snell's House is in an absolutely quiet location just 150 m off the main street and with easy access to the shore path as well as all the tourist attractions of Bar Harbor. Paul was very friendly...

My husband and I stayed in the Duplex. The set up was perfect for our needs. Paul and Mary were gracious and friendly. Coffee, cream and fresh flowers greeted us on arrival. We cooked our meals right there in the well stocked kitchen, enjoying a few add-ons from the garden: fresh green beans, yellow beans and tomatoes ! Being one... More

We stayed at the Snell House for 4 nights last week and absolutely loved it. We stayed in the Boys' Room which has two large bedrooms (one with a double bed and the other with a queen bed) and two chairs that fold out into single 'cots'. We have four kids ages 16, 13, 12, and 8 so it's not... More

Paul and Mary were fabulous from the start. We stayed for 4 nights in George's Study, with 4 adults and one toddler. Lots of space and a big kitchen with everything you need to DIY. The vege and flower garden is gorgeous. Our daughter loved the bay window in the main bedroom...she would sit there every morning in the golden... More

Snell House is not a B&B; food is not provided. However, each of the five rentals comes with a kitchen as well as free access to the beautiful flower and vegetable garden. In mid-Sept. we picked lettuce, tomatoes, and green beans - they were superb, and what a bonus. Paul is a fantastic host, and I am sure his wife... More

We loved it the first time we stayed there and we were so happy to return. The place is so comfortable that even when we had to escape from the rain for a few hours, we did not mind at all to spend some time in our apartment ("Rhoda"). The garden is fantastic, it is steps from the Shore Path,... More

The Snell house is a "home away from home". We stayed ther last August and decided to return this summer. Just as relaxing as last year. Paul and Mary are great hosts!

I've been remiss in not reviewing this place before. I've rented the duplex for the past six or seven years in mid-June. It's cheaper than a B&B, centrally located, and provides kitchen facilies. Paul and Mary are wonderful, gracious hosts. One year I sent them a "nice to have" email - a sharp knife, a cheese grater, and a tall... More

A perfect place for a family to stay in Bar Harbor! Short walk to town, good sized and clean "apartments", comfortable grounds, friendly and welcoming hosts. My kids loved picking fresh vegi's and flowers from the garden! What more could you want?

The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Loved having a full kitchen and closet space. This is basically an apartment rental - no daily service (although they'll change out towels whenever you wish), and nice to just settle in. It's an old house and the water temperature was not always easy to set (affected by others using it at the... More
