We stayed at The Colony for 2 nights in October 2012 as part of a New England fly drive from the UK. It is in an ideal location in Bar Harbor with stunning views out to sea. The accommodation is excellent, spacious and clean and this stay was one of the few places we stayed at where the wife and... More

Highly recommended - yes - like the others say, it is a little dated but otherwise I would say it is a stunning location. Right next to Acadia so an easy drive if you want to get up and watch the sunrise in the morning. Stunning photo opportunities right across the road on the beach too though! I had made... More

Spent two nights here in early October. Picked the cottages randomly, but liked the short drive to park and downtown Bar Harbor. First cottage 31a was clean and comfortable, the room has a double bed and a twin bed. The decor is a little dated, but reminds me of visiting Maine as a kid, classic oak or maple furniture, squeaky... More

We had no reservations for the Sunday night of Columbus Day weekend, and stumbled upon this place. They had two rooms available in the hotel, so we booked them. As others have mentioned, the buildings are older and the decor is dated, but it was clean, quiet and we slept well. I got up early and had a fairly hot... More

Quaint cottages with awesome view of Hull Cove - we stumbled upon this place and are so glad we did. It is a family run place and we were treated well. The cottages are old but add to the ambiance of visiting one of the oldest National Parks in the United States. The furniture even appears to be vintage -... More

I was referred to this location by a local realtor who recommended this and Eden Village. While researching, I tried to call The Colony several time, but the hotel would not answer the phone. When they did, I was hung up on. Thought it was a fluke, so I tried -- two other times. Same result. What a shame. We... More

The Colony was a perfect location for our hiking holiday in Acadia National Park. We stayed in cottage #2 for 5 days. The view of the bay was lovely in the morning. The cottage decor was dated but that really didn't matter, the bed was firm for a restful sleep, the a/c worked great, the shower pressure was excellent plus... More

Nice little cottage. Clean bathroom. They take dogs which is was why we chose it. The grounds are nice. The pool is very clean. The bathroom is clean. The dog path is nice too. One drawback is The blanket on queen bed is shredded on the sides hanging down. Makes it look run down. The othr thing was, no one... More

We spent 2 nights in cottage no. 2 in early August. The cottage was large for a one bedroom and had everything you need, refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. The furniture was rather large and did not quite match the setting but it was fine. The location is great with a private beach just across the road. We walked to... More
