The Honest Truth

Harbor Ridge delivers solid condo comfort near Acadia. It’s not a resort—no on-site dining—but the views, quiet setting, and social hours bring real charm. Some units may lack AC in bedrooms, and checkout can require light cleaning tasks, but the price and location balance the experience.

Who Should Skip This

Light sleepers if noise from other units concerns you; heat-sensitive guests due to variable bedroom AC; you need on-site dining or guaranteed full-time AC in every unit.

Booking Insider Tip

• Book via harbor-ridge.com. • Peak season requires early booking. • For reservations, call 9:00 AM–8:00 PM at (207) 244‑7000 or 866‑384‑0231. • Ask for Unit 51 if you need a one-story accessible option. • Confirm AC in your specific unit before arrival.
