What guests say
9.3 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 611 guest reviews
The Inn on Mount Desert earns consistently strong praise for its excellent included breakfast, afternoon baked treats, prime walkable location near Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, and its clean, charming atmosphere. The main drawbacks are small rooms that can feel cramped, occasional noise from street-facing rooms, and a handful of maintenance or staffing inconsistencies that prevent the experience from being universally seamless. Overall sentiment across the reviews is overwhelmingly positive, with most guests eager to return.
