By most standards this is a dump. However it is clean and is much cheaper than most motels in the Bar Harbor area, check... more travel advice

I love the harbors and the quaint coastal towns of the East.
I see a photo of your daughter in a lobster hat...it's fabulous! Lobster Kitsch rules!
Thanks for the warnings as I'll be visiting during the height of the tourist season. Hopefully the harbors/coves won't be too crowded when kayaking.
Well, I would rather skip that crowded and expensive place although... watching the crowds maybe sometimes interesting as well and very beautiful lobsters they have there :-)
Thanks for visiting my Sarajevo page, Jim. I enjoyed reminiscing about my trip to Bar Harbor by visiting your pages. You're right about it being touristy and expensive, but you sure can't beat the delicious lobster and the beauty of the coastline!
