Lucky to find this one on arrival in Bar Harbor in peak leaf peeping season. If you like history, this place is for you. Two town houses beautifully converted into bed and breakfast accommodation with historic furniture and hiding away just behind the main street. Staff could not have been more pleasant and helpful, especially Marina (all the way from Serbia) and Walker. Breakfasts are cooked to order - very nice and original but not contemporary US breakfasts. Forget the brick, glass and concrete hotels and come and stay here. Highly recommended.

I couldn’t have chosen a better destination than Bar Harbor Manor — it was, without question, the highlight of my two-week road trip. From the moment I arrived, everything about the property impressed me: the tranquil setting, warm atmosphere, and the exceptional rooms. I was even surprised with an unrequested room upgrade, which was such a delight. The lobby has a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. I especially enjoyed starting my mornings there with a coffee in hand, planning the day ahead. But what truly sets Bar Harbor Manor apart is the outstanding staff. Sydney and Constance were incredibly kind and attentive, going above and beyond to make me feel not just comfortable, but genuinely welcome. In a gesture that still amazes me, Sydney even accompanied me on a hike — not only as a fantastic guide, but as a truly lovely person to share the time with. Her warmth, enthusiasm, and generosity of spirit are a true credit to the hotel. I’m not sure where else you’d find that kind of hospitality, but I feel very lucky to have experienced it here. Sincere thanks to everyone at Bar Harbor Manor for making my stay so special.

Location, Location, & coffee! Seasider is a motel, which comes with expectations. Located very close to Acadia NP which makes getting to the park everyday easy. Short 12 minute walk to Bar Harbor shops and dining without driving/parking is a huge plus. The lobby offers selection of coffee blends all day, along with grab & go bars and bottled water - also a huge plus. Overall it made our quick trip to Acadia extremely enjoyable. Price is steep, but what accomodation isnt in Bar Harbor?

This was a great motel in a great location. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We could walk to downtown Bar Harbor easily and a short drive to the right took us to the entrance of Acadia closest to the Sand Beach area and the Ocean Path. (While we were there, there was construction, but normally it has easy access to Acadia.)

The Inn on Mount Desert was a treat. I stayed there on Christmas Eve, and was able to walk the Coastal Path twice, and a short walk, about 2.5 blocks, brought me past two churches preparing for evening services, to a charming boutique, Sagegrass Gallery, that was open, and the town itself, with its window fronts so creatively adorned for the season. The room had everything designed for comfort, convenience, and cleanliness. I especially liked the modern bathroom heating. Breakfast was served restaurant style, and was also excellent.
