Bar Harbor Home Near Everything

10/10 Excellent

"Peaceful and quiet location. Beautiful surroundings."

The Pathmaker Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location was perfect. Within walking distance of restaurants, movie theatre, and harbor. The only complaint is that we did not have hot water on Thursday morning to take a shower due to a rainstorm the night before. This caused the hot water system to disconnect and it wasn’t turned back on in the morning."

Main Street Motel

10/10 Excellent

"A simple yet clean motel that was exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend!"

Otter Creek Inn

8/10 Good

"Great location for Acadia National Park visit."

Davis Outpost: Pet-Friendly Quiet Cabin w/ AC. Screened Sunroom. Walk to Trails

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed with two pups and had a lovely time! Property was close to many hikes and downtown Bar Harbor, and the cabin was well stocked. 10/10 stay, would recommend to anyone looking for standalone Acadia accommodations. Beware that the Otter Creek Outpost down the lane has very spotty hours. We ended up being unable to use it for provisioning because they were closed nearly our entire 4 day stay."

10/10 Excellent
