Hotels near Bass Harbor, ME

“I was so impressed with this hotel! The staff went above any beyond to get us anything we needed and were always very accommodating and kind. It was refreshing to see they had tons of staff ready and available to help - they did not seem understaffed like many hotels I’ve been to recently. They clean your rooms every day with fresh towels and they do an awesome job. One of the staff even got my husband late night pie from the kitchen since we had a newborn baby with us. It’s great proximity to downtown bar harbor and the shuttle picks you up right from the hotel. All the rooms have a great view of the water and breakfast is included, which was delicious. We will be back!”

“I’ve visited Bar Harbor several times in the past and I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel for the first time August of 2025. We occupied room 401. Our family of two adults and two teenagers had plenty of space in the two bedroom suite. The bathroom was the cleanest bathroom I’ve ever experienced at any hotel ever, I’m not exaggerating! Breakfast is listed as a continental breakfast but it’s got a couple hot items that satisfy everyone. The vibe the hotel aims for is that of a time gone by and they succeed. The pool and hot tub were welcome on such unseasonably warm days . I would not hesitate to book this hotel on my next Bar Harbor visit.”

“Stayed in the Annex which offers budget accommodations. Good value. Room was satisfactory but not great, hence the budget price. Great location with plenty of parking. Easy walk to main shopping and harbor. Easy drive to Acadia NP or short walk to the shuttle bus stop. Good breakfast.”

“If you plan a trip to Bar Harbor Maine please try and stay at this Inn. It was absolutely beautiful and amazing. They offer a nice comfortable sitting room with a TV out in the lobby, three different porches, pool table and weight room. The room was very clean and comfortable. Easy walk to downtown shops and pier.”

“My wife and I stayed at Acadia Cottages in early June, prior to the start of the busy tourist season. The cabins are very pleasant, and the perfect place to return to when you need a hot shower, comfy couch, and TV after a day of hiking. The cottage we stayed in was cozy, efficient, and immaculately clean. Each cottage is also sufficiently spaced apart to allow for a reasonable amount of privacy. Thank you Laurie and John for a great experience!

Rooms: The owners' high quality is most evident in the little touches throughout the cottage. There were built-in little shelves next to each side our King bed for phones/water, and both shelves had a wall outlet that included USB plugs. The TV's corner shelf is cleverly built to direct the sound into the room, which means the volume stays lower and doesn't reach other cottages. Every single window opens, has blinds/curtains, and has undamaged screen windows to keep out insects. The owners also provide a variety of eco-friendly soaps and shampoos. I was deeply impressed by the level of care that went into this simple, pleasant cottage!

Food & drinks: The cottages are located in a small town on the quiet side of the National Park. We preferred this to being in busier Bar Harbor, but it means restaurant options are more limited. The owners provide a lot of great recommendations for restaurants. If you're looking to eat at a different place for every meal, you can probably only stay in town 4-5 times before you need to drive 25ish minutes to other options.”

“So clean. Excellent location to walk into town, love the grab and go and coffee and tea station. But most importantly the customer service was incredible. Especially Constance, so helpful, joyous and kind”

“Look no further if you’re looking to stay in Bar Harbor! Anne’s White Columns Inn offered a world class experience with local touches and hospitality. My biggest criteria for a successful stay is cleanliness and safety. These two points were met perfectly. The bed was ultra comfortable and we slept well every night. Breakfasts were made from scratch and with love. Bob, Rob, Andy, and Lynette make you feel at home and part of their family (family run business). The location is unbeatable and an easy walk to the main streets of downtown. This stay not only met our needs beautifully, but really offered so much more beauty during our stay. Their meticulously landscaped property with varieties of flowers and plants I’ve never seen before invites you to really be on vacation and relax. We can’t thank the staff enough for making our experience in Bar Habor and Maine truly unforgettable! We WILL be back and tell all our loved ones about this tremendous stay!”

“Perfect location on the quiet side of the island. Clean, friendly, and very reasonably priced. Third year staying and vacationing here, and it won't be our last! How can you resist this view from your deck every day?!

Walkability: Many restaurants and shops are just a short walk down the street .”

“5 stars all around. Accommodations, staff and food were absolutely wonderful. Speaking of wonderful, Do Not miss the harbor boat tour. The Lady Clare is an immaculate vessel staffed by a charming and capable crew. They knew the harbor and were very happy to answer any and every question.”

“We were so happy with our stay here. Everything from the front desk staff and bellman to the beautifully elegant grounds to the historically decorated hallways and rooms made this inn one that we are certain to return to! The location is right on the water & we walked along the bay to have dinner on the wharf. We were welcomed with a complimentary Prosecco on the patio. Our room had a beautiful gas fireplace that we used both in the evening and morning. I loved the convenience of a coffee station in the room as I was getting ready. The decor in the room was charming & added to the atmosphere. Complimentary breakfast was unexpected and very appreciated! Thank you for a lovely addition to our Maine vacation!

Walkability: Wonderfully located on the harbor with a walking path to the docks. Also only steps away from Main St with shops, bars and restaurants.”

“We went on a Thursday evening around 7:30pm for dinner. All the tables were occupied and they were packed. After a long day of biking, we really wanted food fast. Marine B recommended what food we should order if we wanted to get food faster. Then, she herself went to get the soup and got us our food in literally 5 minutes. Everyone was awestruck! Marine deserves a promotion!”

“We didn't stay at the hotel, but we got food from the store. The chowder was great as was the lobster mac n cheese! Would definitely go there again to eat, loved the peacefulness of the area and quite picnic tables.”
