Wow! This was the most beautiful place. The property is tucked up on a beautiful lot of trees and ferns. Our room was just gorgeous with beautiful furniture, wallpaper and a fireplace. I couldn’t believe we were staying in such a storybook place.

I found Mike at the checkin super kind and helpful. He also gave great recommendations for hiking based on my husband’s mobility needs. His advice was perfect—made our trip!

You can literally enter Acadia from the trails directly behind the hotel. Luckily, you are close to many restaurants, but you are still away from the touristy parts of the island.

10/10 would stay here over and over again!!!

A friendly, family run inn. Very typical of old Maine style with cute wallpaper, wood floors, and old Maine charm. If you are looking for modern luxury this isn’t for you. However, if you want a lovely inn with a ton of charm and a great price on the island, then you won’t find better than the Harbourside. The bedroom was big with a very comfortable bed and lovely bed linens. It’s an easy walk to Northeast Harbor with excellent shopping and restaurants.

I cannot recommend Harbourside Inn enough! It’s on Northeast Harbor, which is absolutely stunning. We were minutes away from multiple mountains in the National Acadia Park and some of the best seafood I’ve ever had. The inn’s parking lot was full our entire stay, but other than the occasional friendly guest encounter at the breakfast porch (which is so cute) we had no idea! Our room had a private bathroom and the room was absolutely precious. The Inn has an incredible charm and we were smitten with it.

Quiet and relaxing.

We were visiting the Bar Harbor area and the Inn is in a nice quiet area on the island. The rooms were cleaned daily and the staff was accommodating. When we arrived it was all fully humid and our host brought in an air conditioner after hours. If we decide to stay again we’ll definitely stay at Harbourside Inn. Breakfast is coffee , tea and a choice of fruit and breakfast bars. There is an breakfast porch where you can meet other travelers.

Really nice, quiet place to stay if you’re visiting Acadia NP. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Restaurant selection is probably better in Bar Harbor but Bar Harbor is anything but quiet. We chose to visit the park, eat an early dinner in Bar Harbor, and return to a quiet place to rest. Would do exactly the same if we did it again.

Perfect place to stay and close to Acadia Park!

This property is an historic inn. The owners are very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The inn has several common area rooms for guests to use. The breakfast is continental offering fresh baked muffins, fruits, protein bars, a variety of instant oatmeal, coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. There is endless hot water for showering/bathing, the towels are 1st class and large, body wash, shampoo and conditioner are 1st class. The owners put together a fire for their guests that are easy to light each evening. We enjoyed 3 evenings of fires. The location is very convenient for entering Acadia National Park or driving to Bar Harbor but is much quieter, less crowded and less expensive than Bar Harbor. We stayed here for 5 nights /4 days and enjoyed every minute of them. We highly recommend this property and would stay here again.

Coffee good and breakfast fruit tasty, if there is any left; if arrive in last hour of breakfast window, only bananas are left and other fruit, granola bars, etc. are not replenished.

The inn is a charming, quintessential New England style building tucked just off of the main road. The room we stayed in was very spacious. Everything was kept very clean. We loved the freshly baked breakfast muffins and fruit, but wish they offered a protein option (eggs, meat, etc...) for those of us who were doing some serious hiking. Overall, it was lovely.

This large home, built well over 100 years ago, was the perfect place for us to spend four nights in Northeast Harbor. Our bedroom (room 1) had a small kitchen, equipped, with a perfectly functioning fridge that had to be 70 years old, with everything we needed. Every room was filled with delightful antiques furnishings. We enjoyed all of the public spaces, including a fire pit, two sitting areas, and a breakfast room. Breakfast consisted of a variety of fresh-baked muffins, fruit, oatmeal, and different packaged granola bars and donuts. The coffee was very good and plentiful! We were in Maine to escape the heat, hike, and eat lobster, and we accomplished all of these things right in NEH. We were able to walk into the village in about 8-10 minutes and find a few great restaurants. We took a nature cruise (Princess Line) right from the marina in town, and we were able to take extensive hikes from trails starting just behind the inn. NEH is a perfect location for people like us (mid-50’s) who want a quieter stay than Bar Harbor. Also, do not hesitate to use the free and excellent bus service that serves Mount Desert. Parking in BH is awful, so just walk into the village and grab the free bus! We recommend driving about 6 minutes to Abel’s Lobster Restaurant. It has a casual outdoor area where we sat, right on the water, and ate amazing lobster! We are already looking forward to returning.

We stayed for 3 nights on our trip to Acadia and this place was exactly what we wanted and needed. The inn is charming and you feel at home. It's rustic without feeling dingy or stuffy. The room was sizable and the kitchenette was great for prepping lunch. We grilled outside every night and sat by the fire pit into the evening. We barely heard or saw other guests. The light breakfast was perfect for our early morning. We spent 2 days getting up and out to hikes in Acadia National Park - both trailheads were under 20 min from the inn. Bar Harbour was also a 15 min drive, along with Southwest Harbour, which is a lot quieter and nice to walk around. One night we walked into the town of Northeast Harbour to get ice cream at Colonel's - we went back for donuts in the morning, highly recommend. We also did a short hike out the back of the inn on a well marked trail. We loved the area and hope to be back!

Quaint, quiet, authentic. Not walking distance to Bar Harbor but not a bad drive either. Not many restaurants or shops. Acadia is close. Claw foot tub is nice but no grab bars and difficult to get in and out of. No vents in bathroom but had a window. Had problems with skeleton key for entry/departure. No elevator, no tv.
Historical and cute. Stairs with heavy suitcases could be a problem. If any mobility issues stay on first floor.

We loved our stay. It’s a beautiful property in an idyllic setting. As a senior with bad knees, we were in a third floor room with a footed bathtub, both presented challenges, however the staff were quite willing to help with our bags, so it all worked out. We would highly recommend the Harbourside Inn. Did I mention the warm blueberry muffins and fruit, along with a choice of other breakfast treats? And the beds were super comfortable after long days of hiking in the park.

This is a beautiful property to stay at when visiting Acadia. Northeast Harbor has plenty to offer; Copita, the Nor’Easter, and the Colonels Bakery all offer excellent meals. If you book a room with a fireplace they reset it every night.

A quaint retreat in Maine

This was the perfect place to stay to explore Acadia National Park and the surrounding areas. The rooms were clean and the addition of the kitchenette made for an great stay. Coffee/tea and some light bites were provided daily for the guests. The grounds have tables and chairs and even a fire pit, a great place to relax an enjoy tea or a meal.

Exterior is gorgeous. Interior is definitely clean and welcoming. Very outdated. No AC or dehumidifier, so everything was damp in the room the whole time. Outdated sink in bathroom. No fan. No outlet. So it was a little tough to get fully comfortable.

Beautiful inn in quiet area. Family run with care and attention to details. Welcome with open arms. If you need ADA help, you may want to speak to owners before booking. There is no elevator and bathtubs are clawfoot. My only complaint is the skeleton keys for the rooms. It was very difficult to use getting into and out of the room.

Peace and Quiet

Very enjoyable stay. Quiet and peaceful, just like we wanted. Close to everything in Acadia. There are even hiking trails right behind the inn. Everyone very friendly and accommodating. Other guests were friendly and personable. We were on the third floor, which got a little warm in the late afternoon. There was a portable air conditioner which we ran mostly just in the evening. It was effect but loud. We turned it off while we slept. There’s no TV, but we didn’t even notice that for two days. Too many other things to do. Lots of storage room for our stuff which made the main room less cluttered with our belongings. The closet could have used a light. The skeleton key for the room was a little clumsy, but authentic. We probably didn’t need to lock the door. It was that kind of community. Continental breakfast was adequate. Mostly grab and go kind of stuff. We’d stay there again without hesitation.

Beautiful properties away from the business of Bar Harbor but still close enough to visit the shops and head to lunch or dinner. Acadia National Park close as well.
Charming place to stay and love that there are no tvs in the rooms. Slept with my window open up on the 3rd floor. Super comfy bed.
Can't wait to go back next year!

Beautiful location, not worth the cost

Located next to Acadia and a half hour drive to Bar Harbor, the location was nice. The B&B was just okay. The “breakfast” was some fruit in a bowl, packaged donuts, and packaged bars. There was a breeze coming in from the old windows and virtually no privacy (could hear the neighbors whispering). Could have stayed in a nice hotel for the cost.

Loved everything about our stay. Our room was large and very comfortable and on the quiet side of Acadia National Park (away from the crowds in Bar Harbor). Breakfast was served each morning and was easy to get something on the way out to hike. We loved the fireplace in our room and put a fire in almost every night. Having access to an outside grill was wonderful! Highly recommend!!

Well kept up old Inn. Very clean. Great bed. Nice to have an active fireplace, reset daily by staff, if desired. Common spaces somewhat worn. Would have been nice to have a full breakfast but good selection of fruit. Northeast Harbor is a very quiet area with few choices for meals but only about 20 minutes to bustling Bar Harbor. We’d definitely return.

The Harbourside Inn is an Inn from the late 1800’s. It is charming, has provenance and a guest can imagine what it may have been like to visit Mount Desert Island as a rusticator back in the day. The common areas are lovely, decorated with period furniture, fireplaces and great maps of MDI, bird Audubon and Island artwork.
Our room was very comfortable with a queen bed, kitchenette, full bath and fireplace, with a back door/porch to go outside. Nice outdoor areas to relax or have a drink to enjoy the scenery with outdoor seating. Easy walking distance to beautiful Northeast Harbor and all it has to offer. This has been our third visit to the Inn.
If you like to visit historic places, this is a great place to stay.

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and really enjoyed our time here! It has a “homey” feel to it, and the service is great. The hosts provide breakfast items every day, along with delicious organic coffee. Housekeeping is prompt and efficient. The hosts even let us borrow items like umbrellas. Everyone is all-around pleasant and respectful.

This inn, resembling Old Maine so well, is beautiful and stationed in Northeast Harbor, which is one of the less busy areas on Mount Desert Island. You can get to anywhere you need within a reasonable driving distance, without dealing with the same traffic that the other areas (like Bar Harbor) can bring.

Stay here; you won’t regret it!

The only downside is the packaged donuts for breakfast which is probably due to the covid restrictions./

Wonderful location away from the hubbub yet so near a quiet village with great food, the water, and parking for trail heads and carriage roads. Clean and charming building, beautifully landscaped grounds, nothing corporate cookie-cutter about the inn. Good bed with quality linens and two pillow types; one fluffy and one flatter. For an old building, the water pressure in the shower wasn't just strong but intense. It's not billed as a bed and breakfast, but the common area on the first floor has coffee in the morning along with a selection of fresh fruit, donuts, and packets of oatmeal. Very pleased with our decision to stay here.

It’s all about hospitality!

This inn was a great find at NE harbor. Hosts Michael and Megan were very accommodating. This was a family trip with toddler and they did everything accommodate our needs. Would also recommend exploring restaurants in NE Harbor as Bar harbor tends to be like NYC on Friday evening when it comes to dining. Would definitely return on our next trip.
