The Four Bed, Four Bath Willow House

Luxury MDI Living

Welcome to The Willow House

West Street Hotel, in partnership with its sister Opal Collection property, the Harborside Hotel, is thrilled to introduce this custom-designed four-bedroom, four-bathroom private home rental in downtown Bar Harbor. A rare find and exciting addition to Opal’s Bar Harbor portfolio, The Willow House sits on one acre of land directly across from the Bar Harbor Historical Society at the top of West Street. Even with its prime location at the doorway to downtown Bar Harbor, the home is quietly tucked under whimsical weeping willows to offer the privacy and ambiance that is sought after in vacation home rentals.

A Downtown Bar Harbor Vacation Rental That Sleeps 8

It’s not often an opportunity arises to live in luxury at the footsteps of a national park, and The Willow House offers the perfect opportunity to do so. Available for long-term rentals (31 days or more), The Willlow House can accommodate up to eight guests and is the perfect place to call home for retirees, remote workers looking for a change of scenery, or traveling professionals whose work brings them to the Downeast region. Couples can settle into a new home and host visitors on weekends, multi-generational families can enjoy a Maine summer vacation with space and privacy, or four friends or couples can live like Bar Harbor locals for a month.

Two Luxury Resorts in Your Back Pocket

Registered guests of The Willow House enjoy access to both hotels’ amenities, including the restaurants, Opal Spa, gym, and tennis courts. But the highlight is sure to be the pools. West Street Hotel’s rooftop pool, Harborside’s marina-front pool, and the oceanfront Poolhouse at the Bar Harbor Club are the three locales to pool hop between. Better yet, in the summer months, food and beverage service can be delivered right to your chair. All the benefits of resort living, sans resort fee.
