Why We Love It

Bar Harbor, which resides on Mount Desert Island, is most known for the rugged architecture of mountains, lakes, forests and outdoor adventure of Acadia National Park. A small fishing village, the town is proud of its local arts and craft shops, whale sightings, ocean sailings, lobster shacks, and numerous microbreweries.
