It was an absolutely wonderful place to stay. Beautiful bedroom room and a livingroom with a cozy fireplace and kitchenette. Common areas to meet other guests and a light continental breakfast was served. There was a terrific outdoor area with a fire pit as well. Loved our stay!!

Authentic inn with lots of character and features. Very helpful staff. Real fire place in the room if that’s something that appeals to you. Room was immaculate, bed very comfortable and a nice little breakfast selection for the morning. Easy check in and some lovely outdoor seating with fire pits. It is possible to walk to Northeast harbour.

What a lovely place to stay! This was a peaceful and beautiful alternative to the typical Bar Harbour stay, and it is within minutes of Acadia National Park. Christine was very helpful when we checked in. The room and the inn were charming, and the people were amazing. Highly recommend!

A great stay!

Such a treat but also low key in a way we appreciated. Walking distance to downtown Northeast Harbor and a few carriage hikes. Room on third floor was lovely - firm beds if that’s your thing! Grounds were beautiful!

My daughter and I loved our stay at the Harbourside Inn. We loved being in Northeast Harbor. Close to the national park but away from the touristy bustle of Bar Harbor. The inn was classic New England. Our room was bright and clean, and the property itself was beautiful. I would definitely stay there again!

Really nice, quiet place to stay if you’re visiting Acadia NP. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Restaurant selection is probably better in Bar Harbor but Bar Harbor is anything but quiet. We chose to visit the park, eat an early dinner in Bar Harbor, and return to a quiet place to rest. Would do exactly the same if we did it again.

I cannot recommend Harbourside Inn enough! It’s on Northeast Harbor, which is absolutely stunning. We were minutes away from multiple mountains in the National Acadia Park and some of the best seafood I’ve ever had. The inn’s parking lot was full our entire stay, but other than the occasional friendly guest encounter at the breakfast porch (which is so cute) we had no idea! Our room had a private bathroom and the room was absolutely precious. The Inn has an incredible charm and we were smitten with it.

Quiet and relaxing.

We were visiting the Bar Harbor area and the Inn is in a nice quiet area on the island. The rooms were cleaned daily and the staff was accommodating. When we arrived it was all fully humid and our host brought in an air conditioner after hours. If we decide to stay again we’ll definitely stay at Harbourside Inn. Breakfast is coffee , tea and a choice of fruit and breakfast bars. There is an breakfast porch where you can meet other travelers.

Michael at check-in was nice. Location good re: entrances to Acadia N.P. Comfortable mattress. Hot water. Coffee good and breakfast fruit tasty, if there is any left; if arrive in last hour of breakfast window, only bananas are left and other fruit, granola bars, etc. are not replenished. Smell from campfire smoke comes inside bedroom.

Perfect place to stay and close to Acadia Park!

This property is an historic inn. The owners are very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The inn has several common area rooms for guests to use. The breakfast is continental offering fresh baked muffins, fruits, protein bars, a variety of instant oatmeal, coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. There is endless hot water for showering/bathing, the towels are 1st class and large, body wash, shampoo and conditioner are 1st class. The owners put together a fire for their guests that are easy to light each evening. We enjoyed 3 evenings of fires. The location is very convenient for entering Acadia National Park or driving to Bar Harbor but is much quieter, less crowded and less expensive than Bar Harbor. We stayed here for 5 nights /4 days and enjoyed every minute of them. We highly recommend this property and would stay here again.
