Our first visit to the Harbour Cottage Inn was to celebrate our 30th anniversary. We wanted everything to be special. The accommodations and ambience born of tasteful furnishings, tasty breakfasts, and knowledgeable innkeepers far exceeded our expectations...and we are seasoned travelers. We weren’t expecting to make the HCI an annual affair, but this year it will be for our 40th... More

We stayed here for a long weekend in the carriage house, which is a converted carriage house. It rained pretty heavily while we there so it was pretty loud at night. It's a great bedroom with kitchen and living space but the bedroom does lack some privacy to the living area because the walls don't reach the ceiling - a... More

Did someone really write a review complaining about staying in a working harbor town. For me, it was heaven...and I never heard any noise from the boats. Southwest Harbor is one of the few places where you can go and stay and enjoy being a part of the ebb and flow of the sea, with lobster boats coming and going... More

The building dates from the 19th century and while quaint, the room that we had was very small; we had no room to even put our suitcase on a stand. Breakfast both days was mediocre. Also, Southwest Harbor is a working harbor so be prepared to hear the harbor come alive not long after dawn. More

My husband and I recently rented the Carriage House (part of the Inn) for our honeymoon and it was great! The spacious House has a very nice kitchen and living area--which also includes a fireplace! We truly enjoyed the serenity and privacy the Carriage House offered us. Each morning we woke up for Don's amazing breakfast! The food was fresh,... More

We arrived late on Friday and were greeted by an employee, which was fine. The next morning, during breakfast we were served by who we assume was Don. No welcome, no hellos, no thanks for choosing us. Rainy weekend, not the B & B's problem, but they were no help in trying to gear us towards rainy day options except... More

I must take a moment and apologize to this guest for my lack of attention that morning but I remember the day very well. Unfortunately there was an emergency with one of our guests staying in one of our cottages that that took most of my time and attention. An ambulance had to be called and the guest transported to...

There is a great commons area for those rainy days. Some rooms are a bit small, but typical for houses of that era. Good breakfast, with a relaxing front porch. More

The harbor cottage inn was a lovely bed & breakfast overall. The breakfast was delicious and in a lovely setting. The service was sensational. We were just under the impression it was a little closer to bar harbor, which is where we wanted to spend most of our short trip! Oh well, it was still lovely! More

We stayed at the Inn in early September and thought it was just OK and here is why. 1. We did not like the location - but that was because everything we wanted to do started In Bar Harbor which is easily a 15 minute drive with no traffic. We wanted to rent bikes and be shuttled into Acadia -... More

This review makes several interesting points that we are pleased to address. 1. When a guest makes a reservation with us we are careful to point out that we are not in Bar Harbor but in Southwest Harbor which is 11 miles away on the SW part of Mt Desert Island. The majority of guests choose to stay with us... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at this B&B over this past Labor Day weekend. We loved being away from all the tourists in Bar Harbor. The location was great, close to restaurants and to drive to all the sights in Acadia. The breakfast every morning was delicious and the service was excellent. Cristina checked us in late on Friday night... More
