Wonder View Inn – Bar Harbor Collection

About This Property

Bar Harbor’s Wonder View Inn is a practical pick with bay and ocean views available in select rooms. The Livingston Building sits as the older, no-view option, while other buildings offer bay/ocean panoramas. The Looking Glass Restaurant serves breakfast with a view, and the free Island Explorer Shuttle makes Acadia easy to explore. It’s not luxury, but you’re within easy reach of Bar Harbor’s charm and the harbor is right outside.
