Acadia Bay Inn is so much more than a place to lodge while you're touring the area of Bar Harbor. This beautiful inn lures you back from the busyness of seeing the sites, and invites you to delight yourself in the quiet beauty of a private balcony view of Frenchman's Bay and the idyllic full view of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. If you can't reserve a bay view room, the property has multiple bay view sitting areas: within the lower level dining area, on the covered porch, and on the lawn. A small private beach is also accessible for quiet walks and talks or shell and sea glass seeking. Local loons frequent the waters near the shore, and a bald eagle appears regularly in particular nearby trees. In the bay, several local lobster boats rock next to their buoys, waiting for the lobstermen to begin their morning or evening runs to check the traps. If you're there when it happens and you're being watchful, you can glimpse the life of lobstering in Maine, as the lobstermen row quietly out to their boats, and begin the day's work. When the boats return with their catch, it's possible that you will see the quick transfer of the trapped lobster to the deck of a speed boat bound for Bar Harbor, where it will become today's lunch or dinner for a tourist like you or me! Acadia Bay Inn is not just a place to crash for the night; it's a place to enjoy for its tranquil and refreshing atmosphere. And the hosts, Todd & Angie, will do everything possible to make your stay delightful!
