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.

"The hotel was great. The staff were friendly. There was iced coffee in the lobby. It was obvious from the little touches that the manager really cared about the guest experience at their hotel. This was one of the best hotel experiences I've had."

Seasider Motel

Seasider Motel

10/10 Excellent
"We booked this on a whim because options were limited and I didn't plan well. We were pleasantly surprised! This is not a fancy resort and you won't get a nice lounge, Continental breakfast, outside hang out space, etc. but the staff are friendly and helpful. They printed the Park Pass for us at the desk, free of charge. They constantly keep snacks out - crackers, kind bars, Cliff bars, juices, and bottled water. Any other hotel charges for those items. These are free and available 24/7. The room was clean, but basic. No frills or anything fancy. Everything we needed to be out all day enjoying Acadia and Bar Harbor and sleeping at night. Definitely would stay again!"

"The inn served it's purpose in giving me an inexpensive place to lay my head when I wasn't busy exploring Acadia National Park and the surrounding area. Nothing special, just the basics and what you need to be comfortable."

Island View Hotel Bar Harbor

Island View Hotel Bar Harbor

10/10 Excellent
"This mid-century gem was very welcome after the dirty hotel we stayed in before it. The staff works very hard to keep it clean. Not ultra-modern, but the room itself is pretty updated, with very comfy beds and bedding. The bathroom is small, but met our needs. Staff is very friendly. It overlooks a beautiful inlet. Convenient to the attractions we were interested in. No breakfast included, but they do provide coffee. That’s all I needed. There is a small fridge for goodies. We enjoyed our stay. Hope you do, too."
