Stayed here for my 3 day visit to Acadia, very glad I chose this property. Close enough to Bar Harbor and the park, but far enough away, so you’re not landlocked within the island. Clean room, clean property, parking lot is well lit night, and there’s a lobster shack right across the street that had the best bang for your buck lobster I personally found with my stay to Maine.

I stayed for two days and had a wonderful experience. The room was cozy, clean, and well-maintained, and the room service was excellent. The location was very convenient—just a short driving distance from the Acadia National Park Visitor Center and Bar Harbor. I’d definitely love to return!
