Harbourside Inn

Proximity to Roosevelt International Park

Minimalist in decor

Good location.

Windows were all open. Humidity was high in the rooms. No TV nor radio. No closet

Breakfast was quite sufficient -- a buffet of fruit and pastries (blueberry cake both days plus a lemon cake one day). Granola bars/fruit bars were available to take along on hikes and instant oatmeal was an option. Coffee was strong and cream was even provided. A good variety of teas and purified water were available at all times. The staff was very friendly with suggestions on activities, restaurants, and local sites.

Nothing we didn't like - it was great!

The light breakfast in the morning was a perfect start to the day. The location was great for exploring all parts of the island while avoiding the peak tourist chaos that can happen this time of year. We would definitely stay again!

Everything was exceptional. The bed and bedding was luxe, the historic inn and the property were beautifully maintained and managed and the breakfast was fresh and delicious. I plan on staying at the Harbourside whenever I’m on island. There are premiere eateries nearby and many interesting boutiques and galleries also within walking distance. The management/ and owner was incredibly friendly and available for information and friendly conversation.

I enjoyed every aspect of this lovely inn.

Nice continental breakfast, cozy surroundings, easy walking to town

Would have liked a lower level room, third floor wa a bit much with no elevator

Great staff, quiet neighborhood, very nice amenities

Location, cleanliness, overall aesthetic , friendliness of staff!

Great staff; friendly but not intrusive. The morning "grab & go" was plenty and we met several interesting, fun to talk to guests.

Two things; there should be "quiet" guest time after 10 p.m. We were kept awake by guests in the common area until midnight ( including some fighting). And a mirror above the desk in our room would have provided space to use the hair dryer for hair styling since there was no outlet in the bathroom or near a mirror ? ?

The inn was a stunning sight, and the staff was incredibly warm and welcoming. We were delighted to see freshly baked cookies upon our arrival. Every morning, I eagerly awaited the coffee and fresh-baked blueberry muffins for breakfast, among other things, which were a delightful start to my day.The hotel’s rich history was evident in its captivating decorations and the inviting atmosphere downstairs. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the surroundings, meeting fellow guests, and immersing myself in the ambiance. The bed was incredibly comfortable, allowing me to relax and unwind in my room. I found solace by the window, engrossed in my book.The room exuded a historical and cozy charm, creating the perfect setting to unwind after a long day. My husband and I are already planning our return visit whenever we find ourselves in the area. If we could, we would gladly give this inn more than 5 stars! For anybody who likes cat, there is a cat that is very friendly and purr like a motor boat that hangs outside by the breakfast nook!

Breakfast was great! Excellent coffee. Great location in Northeast Harbor! Christine and her family were outstanding!

Location

More comfortable bed, nicer sheets and towels, better cleanliness, better maintenance, room too tiny. We found ants in our room

Friendly owners and wonderful Inn - Simple and just what we were looking for. Had a wonderful time each night by the fire pit talking with other guests and enjoyed the short walk to town during our stay.

+ Feeling of being “at home”+ General “atmosphere”+ Cleanliness and general maintenance of this old building+ Kindness of the staff (e.g. helped us for laundry as we were on a long trip - while this service was normally not available yet)+ Environment and location - quiet place, Acadia park easily reachable

? Perhaps a slightly more complete breakfast would be welcome

cozy. breakfast. great beds. firepit. tea at night.

took a while to heat up the room when it got cold at night

the room was super clean and cozy. Loved the windows could open fully. It was quiet and a great location to walk to marina and town. Staff was great.

we got the full kitchenette so we could cook breakfast as we like eggs, potatoes etc. nonstick pans and some salt and pepper would have made it easier. Also not a big deal but there were games and puzzles but no sizable tables in the inn to use them. A nice card table for games and puzzles down in the large open room on bottom floor would be nice.

Surrounded by lovely woods. Homemade blueberry muffins and fruit for breakfast. On a quiet side of the island.

Floors were creaky, though guests were respectful and tried to keep noise down. Limited choice for restaurant dining in the off season.

It’s a grand old Colonial house from days gone by in the high life of Mt Desert! It reminded me of my grandmothers mansion with many rooms. And quiet too! Each window had view of spruce and birch forest and a glimpse of the harbour.

The breakfast seemed more like Covid times and was very limited for anyone planning an active day visiting the Island. There is space to restore some small breakfast tables for two in the main room and ante-room to provide a feeling of having a breakfast. Instead only chairs were provided. The catered coffee was excellent.

Loved the blueberry muffins at breakfast! Great stay, staff was super nice, and loved the charming and cozy details of the inn!

We liked the cozy aesthetic of the hotel and our room. It was great having a fireplace in the room

The breakfast lacked a simple protein like hard boiled eggs or yogurt. For the price that should be included. Although beautiful the bed in our room was jammed so close to the wall that my partner had to climb over me to get in. There was no bedside table on one side
