Terramor Outdoor Resort

Terramor Outdoor Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Great glamping experience!! 10/10 recommend! Really awesome tents with plenty of windows for warm days, space heaters and heated mattress pads for cool nights. Really nice bathroom for a glamping tent. Very clean. The only thing to note is that internet was spotty in our tent (one of the furthest from the lodge) - no big deal for us, but worth noting if you need solid WiFi on your trip."

Kimball Terrace Inn Northeast Harbor

10/10 Excellent
"For a motel setting, it was perfect because we had easy access to Acadia, a restaurant on property, a view of the harbor (almost every room has one), coffee in room, heated pool, and say to park by room to load car for daily excursions of hiking or biking carriage roads. There’s even a marina and a bus stop (free island loop bus) just a few steps away. I will stay again."

Bluenose Inn - Bar Harbor Collection

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Bluenose and it was very reasonably priced given the time of year we visited (late August during a weekend). Pros: - Very clean, comfortable rooms - Thoughtful touches in the rooms (vanity kits, lots of towels, bathrobes) - Beautiful and convenient location, only about 3 minutes to downtown Bar Harbor - Very nice pool and hot tub - Incredible gift shop right in the lobby—lots of books, toys, souvenirs, snacks, etc. to choose from - Live music on Saturday night was wonderful Areas for improvement: - Rooms still use actual metal keys; this was sort of eclectic in a way but at the same time was not super convenient"
