We stayed for two nights while visiting the area. The room was clean and comfortable. It was quiet as well. Had a nice area to sit outside and relax. The room and bathroom are small but suitable for our stay. Check in so easy with self check in and out. Short distance drive to Bar Harbor for wide selection of restaurants.
Clean, affordable motel within a 10 min drive of Bar Harbor. Owners take excellent care of property and are friendly. Fenced in dog park was a huge bonus amenity for our stay. Will stay here again in the future and recommend to anyone!
We went there for my son 's Spring break. It is in a good place. We drove to Acadia National Park for hiking and sight seeing. We drove to Bar Harbor for lobster rolls and mussels, etc. The house we stayed in had a well equipped kitchen, three clean and neat bedrooms. We really had a relaxing time there.
Nice motel with clean well equipped rooms. Friendly helpful host. The room was comfortable and clean. Comfortable bed and lots of hot water. The towels were the fluffiest hotel towels I've experienced.
Really clean, super cute room! King sized bed- plenty of space. We just got here, 2 hours ago.... but impressed. Cleanliness is very important to me and this one passes with flying colors!
Cozy efficiency unit. The bed is very comfortable too. The dog park is a key feature for me. The location is a short drive to Bar Harbor and an entrance to Acadia.
Great location, short drive to Bar Harbor and plenty of trails! Rooms are nice and big, including the bath room. Nice, fenced pet area in courtyard. Will stay again when I return.
This was a great place to stay. Spotless clean. The staff were really friendly and helpful. It seemed to be the cheapest place in town but still really nice. Something to be aware of is that the mattress is very firm but that was fine for us.
A mile from Acadia National Park and 4 miles from downtown Bar Harbor, this quiet motel with cottages is also a 6-minute walk from Hulls Cove, which offers swimming and canoeing access.
