Bar Harbor Acadia Cottage Rentals, Inc. came about initially, over 19 years ago, while I was renting out my own four vacation cottages. Friends and relatives who also had cottages available for weekly rentals contacted me to assist them. We are a full-time vacation rental agency (with my brother Tom and cousin Gail joining me several years ago; cousin Miles joining in 2016) and love working with people who are planning their summer vacations. We all feel this is the most beautiful place in this country to visit! It may have something to do with the fact that we were born here, and our family was the second family to settle on Mount Desert Island in 1761, in Somesville. It sure is a beautiful place to live and visit!

For 2024 we sadly say good-bye to retiring brother Tom. He was a great asset to the company and very helpful to our customers. We welcome Amy Pinkham to company, who is also another cousin (yes, we natives are all related to one another here on Mount Desert Island!). We look forward to working with her in the coming years!

We know it can be difficult booking a vacation rental online. We'll try to be as honest and helpful as we can when describing the features of, and recommending, a property to rent. Feel free to call us or email us with questions about any property, or about the area. Between the four of us, we're pretty knowledgeable about the wonderful activities our area has to offer. We are anwering emails 7 days a week. We're in the office Monday-Friday (10am-3pm), and do answer or return phone calls on the weekends, too.

Sincerely,
Rebecca Richardson
