Recent Northeast Harbor guest reviews

My friend and I stayed here for 4 nights to hike around Acadia National Park and to run the Mount Desert Half Marathon. The location is in a lovely and quiet part of Mount Desert island! Our car rides were all about 20-25 minutes to the trail heads, Southwest Harbor, and Bar Harbor which was very convenient. We rented a car and the street parking is close to the unit, easy to find, and free. We had a late flight into Bangor and arrived to the unit late. Getting in was easy and found the place to be very clean. The queen bed and pillows are comfortable. The bath towels are on the thin side but were clean. The WiFi is very poor from this unit and you cannot rely on it but thankfully we had service. We did not use the laundry but detergent was provided. The town of Northeast Harbor is quaint and quiet which we really liked. We had dinner at the Colonial, right below the unit, and enjoyed it. We also got coffee from McGraths which was delicious. We initially chose this location because it is about a 5 minute walk from the starting line of the Mount Desert Half Marathon. The location was indeed perfect but take note that the race does not provide transportation back to the starting line. The Island Explorer bus only ran through 10/13 and Ubers were not available. Luckily the people of the town and guests are some of the more kind and helpful people I’ve met and a couple kindly drove us back to Northeast Harbor. If you stay here for this event in the future have a plan to get back! If there are back to back bookings, costumer service will not budge on a late check out. It was very easy to reach them however. Overall, I would recommend staying here and would do it again!!

The apartment was extremely convenient, easy to find. Amenities were good... ice maker, washer and dryer were right outside our door. We thought there might be noise from them but we never heard anything at all. It was clean and the furniture was generally in good shape. The small kitchen was helpful for making picnic lunches and simple breakfasts. There is no kitchen table and chairs to sit at, though. We did reach out to management once or twice and they were very responsive. The only item lacking was a strong internet signal. Only one of us could be on the internet at a time. If both of us tried, it knocked the other off. The place was very quiet.... so we left the hall door open and that helped some with the internet but that is not an optimal solution. We visited in the fall so parking was not an issue at all. We left for the day in the morning and returned late afternoon. We parked by the front door every time and had no problem whatsoever. We did develop a bad habit of picking up a donut before we left for the day from the bakery below... They are quite good. We were not as impressed with the restaurant but that is a matter of personal preference. This location makes getting to the Jordan Pond House very easy. Even in the fall, we found it difficult to get into the restaurant or even find a parking space nearby. I can only imagine what it's like 'in season.' Our stay was quite good!
