The Claremont Hotel
Ocean’s Edge Tiny House Escape on MDI
Bar Harbor Manor
The staff and location were fabulous. The rooms were a bit tired and it would have been nice to have been able to turn off or at least dim the balcony lights. The Venetian blinds did not close fully to keep the light out.

The Bungalow
Everything was clean and easily accessible. The kitchen supplied just about everything we needed for our 4 night stay. We just needed to purchase perishables. The location was perfect, close to Acadia National Park but on the quieter side. We even saw 3 deer right on the property!
