Learn more about Southwest Harbor

Forget the crowds of Bar Harbor – this quiet corner of Mount Desert Island offers all the beauty with none of the bustle. Acadia National Park's less-traveled trails like Flying Mountain reward hikers with harbor views that feel earned. The Wonderland Trail leads through spruce forests to tide pools teeming with starfish and sea urchins. Ship Harbor Nature Trail loops through classic Maine landscapes – granite, spruce, and sparkling sea. After kayaking alongside curious seals, return to town where lobster rolls are served without pretension at dockside picnic tables. The Wendell Gilley Museum celebrates the art of bird carving with remarkable precision. Long Pond offers peaceful paddling opportunities where loons call across misty morning waters.

Seasider Motel

Seasider Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed in one of the "300" rooms which are adjacent to the main hotel building. Hotel was clean. staff polite. Comfy bed. Excellent continental breakfast and snacks. Not a far walk into the more populated downtown areas of Bar Harbor which is easier than driving and trying to find (and pay!) for parking."

Anchorage Motel

Anchorage Motel

8/10 Good
"Our room was really clean and pretty well kept up, beds were comfortable, and the front desk staff was really helpful. The hotel is 10 minutes easy walking distance from the main street in town, near a grocery store and gas station. Parking was plentiful, which is really important to have in Bar Harbor since parking in town is impossibly crowded. I would recommend this hotel!"

Terramor Outdoor Resort

Terramor Outdoor Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Terramor Outdoor Resort delivered a standout first glamping experience: spacious canvas tents with fresh‑air flow and private bathrooms, tucked into a secluded spot that kept our screened porch completely private for cozy evenings in a chair under a blanket. The pool was impeccably maintained and a hit with the kids—though it becomes adults‑only from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.—and while the hot tub is officially “no kids,” the rule isn’t always enforced. On several evenings a s’mores station at 8 p.m. drew the children out of the water, adding a fun camp‑fire feel. The front desk lends hiking poles and binoculars for free, and its modest shop stocks trail mix, jerky, insect repellent and other basics, sparing a trip into Bar Harbor. Breakfast is modest (mostly cold fare, plus hot oatmeal I topped with fresh blueberries) and opens at 7 a.m.; on a rushed morning we arrived at 6:40 a.m. for a 7:30 a.m. Cadillac Mountain reservation, and the manager kindly let us in early for cereal, milk and coffee. Situated just a short drive—or a free shuttle—from Acadia National Park, Terramor offers the tranquility of a wooded retreat with easy park access, making it a solid and luxurious glamping stay."

Island View Hotel Bar Harbor

Island View Hotel Bar Harbor

8/10 Good
"The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean but outdated. However, the hotel was in the process of being updated. There was no place to put your toiletries, and amenities were sparse…we had one k cup of coffee for the three days we were there, and none to be found elsewhere. We were a little disappointed with our “harbor view” room….the harbor was simply a mud flat that filled with water during high tide, and the “view”was a view of the parking lot THEN the water. Overall, it’s a good value for the budget- conscious…just bring coffee!"

Main Street Motel

Main Street Motel

8/10 Good
"Great place to stay. Right on the strip. No need to uber anywhere plus having the parking was great considering no parking anywhere because the town is so busy. Definitely recommend walking a few blocks to Ivy Manor in the evening and relax on the Adirondacks and have drinks. It’s definitely not a five star resort. It’s a converted redone motel but perfect. The rooms were super clean. The bed was super comfortable. Perfect place to stay if you want to just go barhopping and eat."
