Located 1 mile from Acadia National Park, this motel is 100% smoke-free and features free WiFi access and free shuttle service into central Bar Harbor. The Bar Harbor Whale Watching Company is 1 mile away. A truly warm welcome awaits from all the staff. Adam the manager, who proudly explains how he grew up in the motel, shows the personal commitment to the whole place. The support staff are so cheerful and kind making such a pleasant atmosphere. If you're nostalgic for old quality which has been cared for over the years and subtly and gently brought into the 21st century, this is what you'll find. The 1970s wooden front doors and fly screens show that things used to be made to last, and a night in the Highbrook takes you back to a time when life had different values. Of course, the chocolate chip cookies have to have a mention. For me, from the UK, Canada Ginger Beer (without artificial sweetners) was just spot on. I was especially glad I had some as it's perfect to sooth the seasickness on a very rough crossing to Canada. And getting up at 4am is very worth it to climb up Dorr Mountain, which I would recommend over Cadillac Mountain if you're into walking; Cadillac Mountain if you like driving. If you order breakfast for 8.30am, you'll be back just in time and can treat yourself to a nice long bath afterwards as check out isn't until 11am.
