The entire experience in Bar Harbor was wonderful. I highly recommend this property and love that they have dedicated parking, a rarity in most places. Make sure you come back early because they can be a little limited. Highly recommend a stay here if staying in bar harbor. Everything was walkable and Acadia national park was an easy 15 min drive away. Also a shoutout to Matt at front desk because of his immense professionalism and attentiveness and great attitude. I would definitely stay here again. Beautiful property and well maintained.
