Boasting mountain views, Modern House Family Retreat offers accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around 11 km from Agamont Park. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house has an outdoor fireplace and a hot tub.

This house was in an excellent location for us and will probably be for you too. It was only minutes from my daughter's home and you could be in the center of Bar Harbor and the entrance to Acadia NP in minutes as well. It's a very private setting and the rooms are very spacious. In great weather, you can enjoy morning coffee on the deck. Be aware that you enter the property from the back door. By the time you stay here, the new two-car garage will be built. You need to pull around the side of the garage to get to the back door. There's a nice turn-around so there's no need to back in or back out with your car or truck. You'll really enjoy the huge kitchen and open living room. The owners are extremely responsive and proactive. That's a good thing.

Lovely welcome, attentive staff throughout and lovely atmosphere. The breakfast was amazing too! I can't speak highly enough, the knowledge of the staff, the location and the facilities are just the perfect mix!

    The Inn on Mount Desert was a treat. I stayed there on Christmas Eve, and was able to walk the Coastal Path twice, and a short walk, about 2.5 blocks, brought me past two churches preparing for evening services, to a charming boutique, Sagegrass Gallery, that was open, and the town itself, with its window fronts so creatively adorned for the season. The room had everything designed for comfort, convenience, and cleanliness. I especially liked the modern bathroom heating. Breakfast was served restaurant style, and was also excellent.

    Great location just minutes away from downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia. Much cheaper than staying in the middle of the city. The free Island Explorer bus stops right in front of the motel twice an hour to take you downtown if you don't want to drive. Renovated recently so felt clean.

    I absolutely loved the calm, quiet rural feel of the area and the little group of vacation properties were in a beautiful setting. I loved that there was a kettle to make a cup of tea! So many other places just had a coffee machine and I don't drink coffee. It was great to be able to sit on the porch or outside at the picnic table and sea the ocean in the distance. We were in cottage number 1, right on the road but there was no noise at all. Very quaint and old style charm to the furnishings.

    Great location with ample free parking. We liked that it was not right in the middle of the busiest area of town but a short walk away (5 mins) and much quieter. Room was clean but fairly basic in terms of in-room amenities, although it was a very good size for our 3 night stay. We also appreciated (and made use of) the large fridge in the room.

    The yellow house Inn is such a lovely place to stay, only two minutes away from the main shopping and dining area, but a very quiet place near to the water. Sarah is such a good host, her breakfast is amazing, all healthy food and snacks. They have a nice room with a fireplace for the guests and you can sit outside in the garden during the day or in the evening. We can definitely recommend this beautiful place and would like to come back soon.
