Shopping was fun unless a cruise ship was docked & then it was crazy crowded. I enjoyed going back in the evening & I appreciated that the shops and dining options were available when lots of places close. Blueberry Ice Cream & popcorn were amazing!

Bar Harbor is a lovely little town which is quite vibrant early evening. We arrived early in the season but most of the restaurants were open and there was a good choice . Lots of quaint shops. Great location to visit Arcadia national park

Lovely downtown area with affordable parking. Leary's Irish pub was a repeat food spot! Great small shops with tons of family friendly activities. You will need a parking pass for the national park (ours was $35 for 7 days).

We walked all of the downtown area in a couple of hours. It was an easy 28 minute drive to Acadia National Park. We watched the sunset up on Cadillac Mountain before we checked in, and got up early to watch the sun rise.

Nice coastal town area- some interesting shops- mostly touristy. The selling point is how close it is to Acadia Park which is the main draw. In addition to park trails/ drives, don't miss the Azelea Gardens.

Bar Harbor was very fun with great access to Acadia National Park. Plenty of shops and restaurants. Going in September was nice as it was less crowded both in town and at the Park.

Busy little town full of shops and restaurants. Parking is difficult and traffic challenging even in October. Shuttle bus service is available from the hotel to Downtown. Didn't use it but probably would in peak summer season. Loved Acadia NP!!!

10/10 Excellent
"The staff at the front desk were welcoming and accommodating. Our room was clean and comfortable. The location was what drew us into the hotel, walking distance to the center of bar harbor. Added bonus for us was it being pet friendly. "
"This is an absolute gem of a place to stay in Bar Harbor. As it is set back up the hill the view from every room is spectacular out over the water. The rooms are clean and well presented with coffee, water & ice & laundry (super helpful!) all available 24/7. Great breakfast included. The staff were great. It is in a lovely quiet location on the edge of town away from the crowds in town but super close for dining & shopping. The Hulls Cove Park entrance into Acadia is 5 mins away with easy access to the Carriage roads as well for walking & biking. We had a car so didn't use the Island Shuttle service but we noticed it was frequently arriving or departing at the front entrance so very useful location for that. Great stay. "
"Everything was GREAT! We didn’t care for the stairs because we’re in our 70’s and it was a bit much for us. Just a suggestion to add a grab rail in the bath for older folks. We will return everyone was so sweet! "
"It was a stunning hotel. Our room looked like it was brand new. The view of the harbor was beautiful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it!"
"When the weather was nice, the view was beautiful. And they were very accommodating with letting us check out a little later. The breakfast was great as well.
