"This property was amazing. It is across the street from the land bridge that takes you to bar island and about a 5-7 minute walk to downtown. The breakfasts were truly gourmet. We would definitely stay here again."

"Beautiful inn on the water. Walkable to all of Bar Harbor. The room was lovely with a comfortable bed and a gas fireplace, which was perfectly cozy after a chilly day of hiking and exploring BH. Wonderful hosts. Delicious breakfast too. Would definitely stay here again!"

"Nice, clean motel room. Room was large and tastefully decorated. It had a microwave and a small hotel-sized refrigerator and an ice machine outside by the office. Maid brought fresh towels and emptied the trash daily but did not clean the room (you can opt out of this service). It was very quiet and was well outside the heavy tourist traffic found in Bar Harbor. Assigned parking (a single parking slot) is provided right outside the door. This is located only a mile or two from the Acadia...

"The facilities were clean & updated. Very close to Acadia National Park entrance & downtown Bar Harbor. This was my first time using VRBO & was unfamiliar with trying to communicate with host but he did answer…the check in was confusing because there was no one in the office at all during our stay & had to figure out how to get into the room. Our family was over all very satisfied with this hotel. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a decent place to stay."

"My husband and I had room 15 around back and it was great- we loved the private driveway- definitely one of the nicer rooms. Very clean and my dogs loved the little dog park out front. Great price and so close to downtown. I can’t complain about the “noisy” road knowing it was motel on a main road ! Thanks for a great and easy stay. "

"Room was simple, but spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The shower had rather low pressure unfortunately. The coffee machine was very basic but did the job. The coffee, water, and snacks in the lobby were very nice to have. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful for navigating the town and dinner reservations (shout-out to Christopher). The only downside was the price. For what it was, I think the price was very high, but was happy with the experience overall."
"Very cool experience! Tent itself was well appointed and had very nice amenities. Lodge was a great place to hang out and enjoy a fire. A couple of items that didn't ruin the whole experience. Shower had black mold spots all along the caulking which wasn't great to see. Maybe upgrade the space heaters so that they can warm the tent better."
"The staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with information regarding Bar Harbor/Acadia. The area was so convenient to downtown and Acadia. We had an amazing ocean view from our room. The bed was very comfortable and we always had clean towels.
The room itself was dated especially the bathroom. The tub was cracked and the bathroom itself was very small. For a king room, it didn’t have the space you would expect.
The light going up the stairs was burned out making it difficult to see at night.
We were there for 5 days and overall our experience was good!"
"Great proximity to Acadia and Bar Harbor for the price. We spent very little time at the hotel, but it was perfect for a place to crash. The beds were actually really comfortable. Overall, I’d stay again on another hiking trip."
"Beautiful location. Large well appointed room. Loved the double sinks in the bathroom and separate toilet/shower area. Did hear noise from the room above, but fortunately it was time for us to wake up in the morning anyway. Could hear people walking across the ceiling.
We enjoyed the seating area in addition to the beds.
Also, the piano bar area is lovely, but we really wished there were more food options. It had been pouring rain, and we would have loved to just stay in and eat dinner there, instead of having to drive to town and searching for parking."
"Great location to go through Acadia national park. Nice botanical gardens to go through and quaint downtown with restaurant and bakery. Restaurant on site was very good. We had breakfast and dinner there. Nice view of Harbour."

"The staff is amazing!!!! The grounds are beautiful and the accommodations are perfect. We were on the 4th floor with a beautiful ocean view. The location is great too!! Only a short drive (maybe 5 minutes) to AcadiaI National Park. Also a very short drive to the downtown area. We were traveling with our very expensive bicycles and we felt comfortable leaving them on the back of our vehicle. Of course they were locked and covered but we normally will not leave them unattended, period.
I would definitely stay here again."
If you're looking for something a little more offbeat than the traditional hotel experience, a stay at a bed and breakfast could be the perfect alternative for your getaway.
