Top Naturalist's Notebook Hotel Reviews

Kimball Terrace Inn Northeast Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here as a family of three while visiting Acadia National Park, and it turned out to be a perfect choice. The location made getting to the park incredibly easy, which saved us time and stress during our trip. I also loved that the property had a small gift shop. It was convenient, and our 3‑year‑old had a wonderful experience there thanks to the front desk staff, who were exceptionally kind to him while he was looking at the souvenirs. It’s a moment we won’t forget. Compared to other accommodations in the area, the price was reasonable, and personally, I really liked the look and atmosphere of the place. The adjacent restaurant served excellent food, and the free coffee available on-site was a nice touch. The entire facility felt very clean. If I had to mention one minor concern, it would be that we could hear sounds from the neighboring room, so we found ourselves being careful not to make too much sounds just in case. I think it is the same level as Marriot hotels I frequently use, and still, it wasn’t enough to take away from our overall experience."

Acadia Quiet side Studio. Modern feel in the quaint Maine woods. Full kitchen.

10/10 Excellent

"When checking in we were told there would be breakfast Continental from 7:00 - 9:00, when we came down the plates labeled Muffins and Quiche were both empty and no one was around to refill it. Another guest commented the same frustration to me. I'd rather not be given the expectation if they weren't going to support I."
