What guests say
8.7 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 778 guest reviews
The Kimball Terrace Inn earns consistently strong sentiment for its peaceful harbor-view setting, spotless rooms, and warm staff — making it a well-regarded quieter alternative to the busier Bar Harbor side of Acadia. Most complaints are minor quality-of-life issues: the absence of in-room coffee makers, an unheated pool in early season, aging HVAC units, and patchy Wi-Fi, none of which appear to significantly detract from guests' overall enjoyment.
