Downtown Bar Harbor
City centre Bar Harbour charms visitors with its scenic Shore Path hugging Frenchman Bay's sparkling waters. Historic mansions and Victorian buildings house waterfront restaurants serving fresh lobster on ocean-view patios. The Village Green hosts seasonal festivals while the harbour buzzes with whale-watching boats against Acadia's stunning backdrop. Browse boutique shops selling Maine-made crafts along cobblestone streets. Getting around is a breeze in this compact, walkable city centre. Most hotels feature historic charm with wraparound porches and harbour views. The free Island Explorer shuttle connects to Acadia National Park when you're ready to explore beyond the village streets.

Hulls Cove
Hulls Cove serves up stunning Frenchman Bay views just minutes from city centre Bar Harbour. This quiet coastal community is the gateway to Acadia National Park, with the visitor centre packed with trail info and local exhibits. Stroll the rocky shoreline where lobster boats bob in the harbour, or head straight to Acadia's magnificent trails. Classic Maine architecture with cedar shingles and white trim completes the quintessential coastal scene. Life here moves at a relaxed pace with minimal commercialization keeping the authentic Maine character intact. Most dining options require a 10-minute drive to Bar Harbour, though seasonal food trucks sometimes appear. Holiday rentals and cosy bed & breakfasts make perfect home bases for exploring the natural beauty that dominates this peaceful area.

Stone Haven
Stone Haven offers a peaceful retreat from the bustle of Bar Harbour with its tree-lined streets and classic New England architecture. White weatherboard houses with dark shutters and wraparound porches create picture-perfect streetscapes. While quiet within its residential boundaries, you're just a short walk from Acadia National Park's stunning landscapes and coastal trails. The area features charming bed & breakfasts and holiday rentals in converted 19th-century homes rather than commercial establishments. Travellers typically stroll 10-15 minutes to city centre Bar Harbour for dining and shopping, making Stone Haven ideal for those who appreciate historic charm and tranquility.

Bar Harbor and related destinations
Lobster rolls compete for attention with Acadia National Park's granite peaks, visible from almost every corner of town. The Shore Path offers front-row views of sailboats bobbing in Frenchman Bay while locals share tales of the 'rusticators' who built summer mansions here. At low tide, walk the temporary land bridge to Bar Island before the sea reclaims it. After whale watching tours return to harbour, grab a table at one of the waterfront restaurants where servers can tell you exactly which boat caught your dinner. The Village Green hosts evening concerts, while Cadillac Mountain in Acadia rewards early risers with what's often the first sunrise view in America. Don't miss popovers at Jordan Pond House – a tradition since Victorian times.

The Inn on Mount Desert
"The staff at the inn are very friendly and helpful. And the breakfasts are amazing! We were there for 4 nights and we had a choice to pick from 2 different made to order hot breakfasts every day with fruit. Of course there is cereal, oatmeal, apples, bananas, coffee, orange juice, tea, etc. Plus the location is close to downtown for an easy walk to local restaurants and store shopping. And it's a short drive to all the walking trails at Arcadia National Park. Great place to stay and have fun!"
Days Inn Bar Harbor
"Pros: One mile from downtown Bar Harbor, eight minutes from Cadillac Mountain, bathroom clean and great water pressure, beds super comfortable and clean, huge TV selection, wide and sturdy staircase to second floor, heat worked great. Cons: Gaps in door frame let a beetle come in and let in a lot of light and sound. No locks on the front windows (doubt anyone else noticed but no rooms technically secure). If fully booked, not enough parking for all guests (so we were back by 6 every night). Have stayed at hotels of rim of Grand Canyon, in town outside Yellowstone, and Grand Tetons and in the Olympic Peninsula, and honestly this was the best of the group."
Terramor Outdoor Resort
"The property was so well designed and maintained. This is one place that we will definitely return to! We loved it!"
Wonder View Inn - Bar Harbor Collection
"Wonderful place to stay! A little pricey but it was close to Acadia and the amenities were great. The staff was also great!"
Acadia Pines Motel
"I liked the decor and the kitchen facilities. It is an older rehabbed motel where you drive up to your door. It’s out of the hubub of the town so we drove in to the grocery store to shop for breakfast. It’s close to the park entrance."
Bluenose Inn - Bar Harbor Collection
"We would stay here again! Very comfortable, clean, friendly staff and quick to respond to questions and service. Wonderful nightly piano man playing."
Acadia Ocean View Hotel
"Nice to have a complimentary continental breakfast in lobby. Excellent muffins, cereal and coffee. Beautiful views facing the water. Very friendly and helpful staff"
Seasider Motel
"The hotel was very well located, walking distance to Bar Harbor downtown. The room was clean and practical with fridge and microwave. Staff were helpful and gave us good recommendations. Breakfast was good and water, juice, tea, coffee and snacks are complementary all day."
Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor - Acadia Natl Park by IHG
"It’s on the ocean. It’s very close to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The Hull’s Cove Visitor Center was about a 4 minute drive where you can enter Acadia National Park or park your car and take the free bus. The hotel is also on the bus route which was very convenient. The hotel property was beautiful. Breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect."
