Thankful Cottage...a charming, romantic hideaway near the harbor renting Sun-Sun 'Thankful Cottage' is walkable to all of downtown and is roomy for a couples or a party of three The cottage rents by the week, Sunday to Sunday. 'Thankful Cottage' is located in the Village of Bar Harbor near the Town Pier, Town Beach, historic Shore Path walk, and the Museum in the Streets self guided walking tour. Built before the Civil War, the cottage has been lovingly rehabilitated and features the perfect blend of nostalgia with modern amenities. The cottage has off street parking and is walkable to boating, shopping, dining and cultural activities. Bar Harbor is named for the 'bar' to Bar Island which forms the harbor. Bar Island, portrayed by David Maitland Armstrong in his late 1800's painting, 'The Bar, Bar Harbor', is visible from the cottage.The entire top floor of the cottage is a king bedroom suite with two sitting rooms (one with water view), walk-in closet, full bath and deck with water view.The first floor includes a fully equipped modern kitchen with full size appliances, living area with gas fireplace, den with pull out twin bed and a second full bath.Wonder why the cottage is named, 'Thankful'? We traced the deeds back Thankful Rodick who in the mid-1800's lived in the cottage. While Bar Harbor is thankful that this little cottage has survived for 170+- years, we actually named her after the person Thankful. The cottage, on the Bar Harbor Historic Properties list, is a popular destination for honeymooners and couples celebrating anniversaries.We hope you will be 'thankful' that you picked Thankful Cottage circa 1850 for your stay in downtown Bar Harbor. What could be better after a day of boating, hiking and shopping, followed by a gourmet dinner, than a walk home to your own historic cottage in the heart of Bar Harbor?
