We loved the Inn on Mount Desert. It was a great location. Easy for walking to town or driving to the park. Everything was clean. The front porch was lovely to sit on during a rain storm. The kids loved the pool table while they were waiting for the adults to get ready. And everyone loved the breakfast each morning!

Our stay at the Inn in Mount Desert was so pleasant! The facility was lovely, the staff very friendly, its location to downtown was so convenient, and the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies were delicious. We enjoyed some coffee(which is always available) and a cookie in the sitting area by the fireplace on a blustery day in Bar Harbor. We would highly recommend this place!
