It’s the Inn on Mount Desert in Bar Harbor—historic charm meets modern comfort. 31 rooms, some with balconies, create a quiet escape just steps from Acadia and the waterfront. Breakfast is complimentary, and a short walk to Village Green gets you shuttle access into the park. This is a smart, walkable base for exploring both Bar Harbor and Acadia.
Coffee verdict: Breakfast is solid—skip the in-room coffee and try a local cafe. Drive time to the park entrance is about 5 minutes. Leave by 7:15 AM to beat the crowds.
