I've been going to Edgewater for over 30 years. The location is perfect, you're right on the water, it's a quite cove where you can see deer, eagles, loons, herons, etc. Make sure you include time to just enjoy the site, sit on your porch or claim an Adirondack chair out on the lawn, look at the ocean, look for shells, read a book. Edgewater is clean and quiet, the service is great, Acadia and Bar Harbor are only a few minutes down the road. It's nice to spend the day outdoors, hiking, biking, etc and return to a cozy cottage on the shore. Great "base camp" for adventures on the island, side trips to the Schoodic Peninsula, Machias, etc.

This is a beautiful place to stay! We were in the Seaview Suite, which is really a house. It was so spacious, clean, and the beds were super comfortable! I love that each unit has a gas grill and outdoor furniture. Pictures on the website make it appear farther from the water than it actually is. Because it sits up on a hill, the views from the kitchen, living room, and deck are fantastic! The grounds are well maintained and the setting is peaceful and quiet. It is close to Park Loop Road and downtown Bar Harbor, but far enough from the hustle and bustle. Just what we were looking for. We will definitely stay here again if we return to the area.Rooms: Spacious and clean. The kitchen iswell stocked with cookware, utensils, microwave, and coffee maker.Nearby activities: The entrance to Acadia National Park is about 5 minutes away. Downtown Bar Harbor is about 10 minutes. You can head in the opposite direction to Ellsworth in about 20 minutes.Safety: I felt very safe here.

The cottages are absolutely lovely. Quiet and peaceful. Some guests brought their own kayaks and launched them right there. Very close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Great price, will definitely go back!

What a lovely place to stay. We stayed in the deluxe motel room on the 2nd floor and it is absolutely amazing. You have a waterfront view and you can really relax by sitting outside in the patio. It’s a good place for both kinds of people - one who loves outdoors and want to get a good sleep at night after a tiring day as well as someone who wants to stay back, relax, and just enjoy the view.It’s located in a very convenient location. It’s about a 15 minutes drive from bar harbor downtown and it takes about 20 minutes to reach the park loop road in Acadia National Park.I also loved the check in and check out process. It’s a no contact check in and check process. You can just walk into your room and make sure you read everything that’s there inside a blue folder that will be there in your room. Also, David and Jayne, the owners of the place are great people. They are very friendly, helpful and easily reachable and will make sure that you have the most comfortable stay at Edgewater. Feel free to reach out to them anytime.I definitely recommend this place to anyone who visits bar harbor, and wants to enjoy everything the place has to offer in the most luxurious and cost effective manner. We will stay here again in the future.

Bar Harbor's best kept secret, fourth year in a row back to Edgewater Motel & Cottages, needless to say we enjoy the property, it is well maintained and managed by friendly, accommodating owners David & Jayne. A kayaker's dream, drop and leave boats 10 feet from the water, paddle any time! 5 minute drive to Hull's Cove Visitors Center & park entrance, 15 minutes to downtown Bar Harbor. Step back in time, peaceful beautiful and relaxing. We will be back for our 5th visit next August.

The Edgewater was a perfect place to stay for our vacation in Bar Harbor/Mount Desert Island Maine. It was located off the beaten path overlooking Salisbury Cove. We could watch the tide roll in and out from the deck on our cottage. We even launched our kayaks from the shoreline in front of our cottage. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. The cottage was fully stocked with all necessary kitchen utensils and the furniture was very comfortable. After a day enjoying the island we would return and feel at home. We would highly recommend Edgewater Motel & Cottages!

We just mailed our deposit to Edgewater to reserve our cabin for our two yearly trips to Bar Harbor. We have been coming to Edgewater for over 30 years and there is no where else we would even consider staying. The accommodations are super clean, comfortable, well-stocked, and spacious. The location is peaceful, quiet, and the view is beyond amazing. To top it off, the owners, Dave and Jayne, are friendly, helpful, and very attentive to detail on the landscaped grounds and in the cabins and motel. Staying at Edgewater is a big part of why we cherish our vacations in Bar Harbor.

Absolutely beautiful views of Salisbury Cove from the cutest cottages. Short driving distance to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia. Owners were so accommodating, David even made me a fresh pot of coffee on my way out! Perfect place for a solo trip or romantic getaway!
