This Bar Harbor property is located just 5 minutes’ drive from Acadia National Park and half a mile from the Bar Harbor pier. Facilities include free Wi-Fi and lush gardens.

A refrigerator and flat-screen TV are included in every guest room at Bar Harbor Manor. The rooms also have a coffee maker and an en suite bathroom. Some rooms have a balcony or microwave. I couldn’t have chosen a better destination than Bar Harbor Manor — it was, without question, the highlight of my two-week road trip. From the moment I arrived, everything about the property impressed me: the tranquil setting, warm atmosphere, and the exceptional rooms. I was even surprised with an unrequested room upgrade, which was such a delight. The lobby has a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. I especially enjoyed starting my mornings there with a coffee in hand, planning the day ahead. But what truly sets Bar Harbor Manor apart is the outstanding staff. Sydney and Constance were incredibly kind and attentive, going above and beyond to make me feel not just comfortable, but genuinely welcome. In a gesture that still amazes me, Sydney even accompanied me on a hike — not only as a fantastic guide, but as a truly lovely person to share the time with. Her warmth, enthusiasm, and generosity of spirit are a true credit to the hotel. I’m not sure where else you’d find that kind of hospitality, but I feel very lucky to have experienced it here. Sincere thanks to everyone at Bar Harbor Manor for making my stay so special.
