The Inn on Mount Desert
The room was clean and spacious, the bed was comfotable, the breakfast (made fresh!) was delicious, the snacks throughout the day were appreciated, and the staff was wonderful. The Inn is conveniently located and there was ample parking. It has a fantastic atmosphere. We hope to return soon.

The rooms were clean and as described! Walkable into town, but also only a 10/15 min drive to Acadia national park, great location! Would definitely come back.

Hinckleys Dreamwood Cottages
We were lucky to find this last minute accommodation. We were traveling and it was late at night. Dreamwood had one cottage available and it was perfect. It was clean and very comfortable. I highly recommend dreamwood cottages.
