Highbrook Motel

About This Property

Let's go. Highbrook Motel brings a clean, quiet 1950s vibe to Acadia: 26 rooms, all with king beds, and a breakfast-delivery routine that actually works. It’s not flashy, but it’s meticulous, with keyless entry and a guest app for ordering breakfast. You’re 1 mile from Acadia’s entrance and a free Island Explorer shuttle helps you roam Bar Harbor. For couples or solo travelers chasing value in a prime spot, this is a huge win.

Highlights

Family Friendly

Quiet, well-kept motel that serves as a straightforward base for couples and solo travelers to explore Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. There are no on-site pools, restaurants, or fitness facilities, so families with children may prefer options with more on-site activities. It's a short walk to downtown Bar Harbor and the College of the Atlantic, and a multi-use path leads to the waterfront. The free Island Explorer shuttle stops in front of the property during the season, making park visits easier. Parking is free right at the room, with one space per room. In-room highlights include free Wi-Fi, HDTVs with streaming and cable, a Keurig coffee maker, a refrigerator, and climate control.

Best Time to Visit

Mid-May to late October, with October being peak and pricier.
