We arrived at 7:30 PM, without reservations, and Don immediately accomodated us with a room at this lovely B&B. We had a view of Southwest Harbor, and were just minutes from Acadia National Park. This was our first trrip to Maine, and we wanted to stay somewhere away from the congestion of Bar Harbor, yet close enough for an easy... More

We were warmly welcomed at this beautful and well-appointed B & B, and loved both the inn and Southwest Harbor. Our innkeeper was very helpful in recommending the best ways for our family of three to enjoy this picturesque area, and helped us discover some really beautiful, less "touristy" sites and activities that became the highlights of our trip. Breakfasts... More

Very nice B&B, run more like a boutique hotel than a typical B&B in that you rarely see the staff (except at breakfast) unless you're looking for them - in which case, they show up at the touch of a button. We stayed in the Yawl, which is airy and bright, if a bit on the small side. The only... More

We stayed here in 2004 as a family and loved to return. This time we (myself and two children) stayed in two different sets of rooms, and they both worked out very well. The breakfasts are varied and delicious (especially the omlettes and French Toast), and the staff most friendly and helpful. Wifi is available in all the rooms. This... More

I traveled to Southwest Harbor in the recent weeks (in July) with my brother. I researched online extensively and was so excited to visit the Harbour Cottage Inn. We also stayed on the third floor (the Harborside) as other reviewers have. We did not find the Cottage hot or stuffy at all. The temperatures could be warm during the day... More

The inn was quaint. The staff was helpful and pleasant. However, there is no air conditioning and it got up to 93 degrees when we were there. Our room was on the 3rd level and the heat rose to the top of the house and it was hot at nite. Would fall asleep with ice (from the ice bucket downstairs)... More

RECORD HOT DAY Visitors to Maine, especially in July and August, typically enjoy the beauty of sleeping with a window open, feeling the breeze and being perfectly comfortable in the Down East air. In coastal Maine, it is rare to find a bed and breakfast that has AC because 99% of the time, it is an obstacle to enjoying the... More

Although this is a lovely accommodation, there are some things to be aware of - 1. NO air conditioning. As it was warm when we were there, the fan did not always keep the room cool. 2. Harbour Cottage does NOT have a view of a bay/ocean. 3. As guests, you are told what time your breakfast will be served... More

Besides Santa Fe NM our other favorite USA spot is upper coastal Maine. Never did we imagine we now have another favorite place to connect as the Harbour Cottage Inn in Southwest ME. From the moment we stepped foot in the B&B we were treated as Catherine and William who were touring Canada and the USA at the same time!... More

We've just spent a month in the USA and our 4 nights at the Harbour Cottage Inn was one of the highlights. From the warmth of the welcome on your arrival to the charm of the staff, this is a heart-warming experience. The Inn is beautifully decorated and full of kind and homely touches like home-made cookies and cake in... More

We spent 4 nights at Harbor Cottage at the end of June and beginning of July, and found it be wonderful place to stay in Southwest Harbor because it is so well run by its owners. The house is set back from Clark Point Road so that a long lawn separates it from the road, unlike other nearby B&B's, giving... More
