Welcome to Bar Harbor

Millionaires like Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, and Astor vacationed here in the 19th century, but you can still come to the island community of Bar Harbor to feel like a million bucks! Many of their summer homes - really mansions - have been converted into charming hotels and bed and breakfasts, like the Cleftstone Manor. Being adjacent to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor features some million-dollar views as well. Drive up the park’s highest peak, Cadillac Mountain, or take a leisurely tour via horse-drawn carriage on the park’s 45-mile carriage road system. Back in town, the Abbe Museum offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Wabanaki, Maine’s native people, through numerous exhibitions and activities. No matter what you do, you’ll feel rich in Bar Harbor!
