Glen Mary Road

We are thinking about renting a house for a week on Glen Mary Road. Does anyone know if this is a good area to rent a home. We have a 3 year old and a 7 year old. I would like to walk around town as well as spend a lot of time in Acadia. I heard there is a wading pool near this street. I thought it might be good for a 3 year old. We will be traveling in July.

Yes, it would be, and yes, there is a very large wading pool nearby. That is a very quiet neighborhood, yet not too far from Mt. Desert Street, which is one of the main streets that lead into the village center. The Island Explorer Shuttle%26#39;s main terminal is at the Village Green, which is bordered on one side by Mt. Desert St. For more on the IE Shuttle, see:

Glen Mary Road

Glen Mary Road would be perfect: very quiet but close enough to the center of things.

Yes, the Glen Mary area will be fun for your family. We used to go to the Glen Mary wading pool when the kids were little and had a great time. The area is fenced off, there are bathrooms and there is a lawn area for chairs. If your kids are adventurous, they will love the crashing surf and brisk saltwater swimming at Sand Beach in Acadia. Enjoy your vacation - Flying Mountain, Ship Harbor, and Wonderland are great trails for your family and Echo Lake offers freshwater swimming (lifeguards and bathrooms, too) if you have the opportunity to visit our quiet, westerly side of Mount Desert.

Thank you for all the great input. We have been to Bar Harbor before and really enjoyed it. This is our first time back since we have had children. Last time we camped in Acadia. We thought a house would be easier with kids.
