Located just 4 miles from Acadia National Park, Mira Monte Inn & Suites offers free Wi-Fi. Downtown Bar Harbor shopping, dining and the waterfront are a 5-minute walk.

The location was great; very close to Acadia National Park which was why we wanted to be in Bar Harbor. It was a short walk to restaurants and shops downtown which was great. The breakfast was good.

    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 and very friendly and warm hosts. Homely touch with freshly baked cookies in the afternoon. Great coffee and tea facilities after a day of exploration. Situated in the center of town close to everything

    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.

    Great Location, near all the touristic spots and sorely quiet as well. The facilities in the kitchen are comfortable indeed, there's coffee all day long, snacks and a refrigerator to put your staff

    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.
