Top Islesford Hotel Reviews

Kimball Terrace Inn Northeast Harbor

8/10 Good

"Staff were all so nice and helpful. Lovely lawn down to the harbor. Bed was too hard for me, but overall great place to stay. Restaurant next door is convenient, as was the bus to Acadia and other parts of the area."

The Inn on Mount Desert

8/10 Good

"Location of inn was excellent! Close to downtown area, but away from any significant tourist traffic. The garden and amenities were lovely. Made to order breakfast included with cost of stay was a bonus! Staff was by and large helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, we had issues with a constantly running toilet that also intermittently would not flush. They came and “fixed” the problem twice, but I was putting my hand in the toilet tank multiple times a day to remedy the problem myself. Not ideal. The shower handle was also very obviously broken and I often had to help my children get the shower turned on. Again, not a huge deal but part of vacation shouldn’t necessarily be playing the role of a plumber for a full week."

Wonder View Inn - Bar Harbor Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We had the best view from our balcony. The room was a little outdated, but that’s what made it charming, coastal cottage vibe. The room was very clean and the staff were so nice at ck in. We were steps from The Looking Glass Restaurant and enjoyed the view during breakfast one morning. Overall, a great place that was still close to downtown, but not right in the middle of all the busy."
