Lovely Property. Reasonable Price.
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 15 Oct 2018
My husband and I spent the weekend after Columbus day here and it was just lovely. It's very clean and quite comfortable. The host, Richard, it a wealth of knowledge about the local area. We stayed in the hotel section. The room was large and comfortable. The bathroom was spotless. The shower is a "camp" shower and is quite small, however, had we wanted a Jacuzzi size tub, we would have spent three times as much and gone to one of the large hotels in Bar Harbor. The office has coffee available from 8am. If you want some before that, head back off the island and there's a gas station with a great snack bar and coffee about a mile back on the left. Great coffee there! About 30 cents less a gallon for gas than on the island as well.

The motel is about a 10 minute walk to the free shuttle which runs through Acadia, so a great place if you're there for hiking. Once the road construction is done, it'll be about 15 minutes to Bar Harbor. Definitely a great place to stay if you want to stay within your budget and want to avoid the crazy hubbub of a large hotel. We will choose to stay here on our return.

Stayed 2 nights Sept 2018 and it was the nicest place. We were placed st the units closest to the road and it was not bad. Yes, you could hear road noise but I would sleep with windows open at night anyway. The room was spotless, when I went to close the window, the window tracks did not have any dirt or dust in them. I don’t know how they manage this. There is an wall AC unit and a wall heater that worked fine. We had a room that had 2 double beds that were comfortable and clean. I left the bed made up but when we came in later the bed had clean linens on it, a nice surprise. We had a mini frig and there is a blow dryer in bathroom. The entire property was so well taken care of. Both days while we were there the owners were running around wiping something down, carrying towels and linens to rooms, etc. Everything is pristine. If you expect everything modern and plenty of outlets for electronics and all the conveniences that you find at a new modern hotel you will be disappointed. This is not that kind of place. If you want a clean place where you can rest comfortably, take a hot shower in a clean bathroom and have clean towels and feel safe, stay here. We would stay again and recommend it.

nice people but the cottage we were given was right next to highway 3 where everyone was going to bar harbor! but it was cozy and very comfortable unfortunately noisy!

in addition we were charged an additional 25 dollars from original quote for the price of the cabin. so be sure to bring your paperwork with you because they also will not give you a receipt.

ps. what is advertised on website was not what we were charged, up charge of 30 dollars per night. i recommend owners update their website.

Sunnyside was perfect, clean, quiet. The owners were very nice. When we arrived there was a little mix up with our reservation, if planning on staying here call them directly. Do not use a travel site. Everything was straightened out with the owners. Had a great visit.

Stayed for 6 nights with the SO. Arrived a little early but the room was already clean so it worked out. The owner spent 10 minutes going thru weekly planners and circling the best places to visit. We wanted to hike everyday around Acadia and instead of needing to find parking during the busiest part of the season, the cottage was less than a 10 minute walk to one of the Island Explorer shuttle buses which takes you all over the park, free of charge. The room was nice and cool, and the wifi was sufficient for checking out places to hike. We would both 100% recommend this place to anyone that wants to explore Acadia or Bar Harbor and will most likely return the next trip we make up.

My family and I stayed here (motel room) for two nights while visiting Acadia (close to one of the park entrances). The owners are very friendly and helpful. The room was simple and spare but clean and comfortable. It’s a good option for the price.
