Mount Desert Island Bar Harbor Hostel in Bar Harbor … The uniqueness of the hostel matches the uniqueness of the environment in which it resides. The qualities it attains should be upheld and respected by all who enter. It was a pleasure and an honor to stay at the new hostel, and worth waiting for. Thank you.
Mount Desert Island Bar Harbor Hostel in Bar Harbor … I stayed at this hostel with my mother in the beginning of March 2006. I found the house to be clean, funky, and well situated in the downtown area. Nova, the awesome woman in charge, was friendly, resourceful, sharing, respectful, and welcoming. I had a delightful stay and was comforted in knowing that others who might drop in for a night or two would not be loud, partying all night, or coming and going at all hours. It is a charming house, and about three hundred times less expensive than the posh Bed and Breakfasts on the Island. A great savings and pleasant atmosphere to boot. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.
Mount Desert Island Bar Harbor Hostel in Bar Harbor … Best American Hostel I've stayed in. The fresh-painted primary colors lift your spirits. It's sparkling clean and neat. The bathroom is right next to the women's dorm room. The guests were quite fascinating and from all corners of the globe. Both my daughter (twenty-something) and I (not retired yet) enjoyed our visit and will probably go back. Of course, Acadia is one of the most unique places in the U.S. with its varied environments -- harbors, rocky coast, fishing villages, forests, hills, and beaches.
The Cabin in Maine in East Andover … The Cabin is great. The owners are two of the nicest people you'll ever meet, and they go out of their way to help hikers. The bunkhouse is very comfortable. This is one of about a half-dozen primo places on the AT (Appalachian Trail).
The Cabin in Maine in East Andover … A very nice place indeed. It caters to through hikers and is really set up to help with transportation, rest, trail food, and temporary clothes as well as laundry set, nice bunks, clean sheets, and great meals. I am a through hiker, as in "I'm through hiking" (at 67, I don't have the stamina anymore, I go for hikes of a few miles only and mostly car camp in campgrounds). But I loved my visit to The Cabin and talking with real hikers of the AT staying there. Our host arranged for me to take a through hiker from Andover to Stratton to keep a time commitment to meet someone on time at Katahdin. Wonderful drive and nice talking to my passenger, who was skipping ahead on the trail but planning to come back and complete the AT later.
Mount Desert Island Bar Harbor Hostel in Bar Harbor … This hostel is one of the best, and is new. The hardwood floors throughout the hostel gives the atmosphere of a classy Bed and Breakfast. The bathrooms are great, and the showers are hot. The extended curfew is also a plus.
I had a great week here and met a lot of people...a very good karma environment. Do not worry about the lockout. There is definitely plenty to do...hiking, kayaking, biking. Do not forget Echo Lake for a nice swim after a day of hiking the Precipice or Parkman Mountain.
The Cabin in Maine in East Andover … Stopped in at The Cabin during my thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2006. It's a great place -- awesome food and super friendly owners who really take an interest in their guests. Excellent facilities too.
The Cabin in Maine in East Andover … I have visited the cabin many times. Always a pleasure!
The Cabin in Maine in East Andover … Wonderful hospitality and food.
Andover Guest House in Andover … Andover Guest house was a great, clean, wonderful place to stay while hiking the AT. Our hostess was very friendly and helpful. There's a large kitchen (and I advise you do your own cooking) -- no place in town to buy "good" food. Help the economy of Andover and stay at the Guest House!
Mount Desert Island Bar Harbor Hostel in Bar Harbor … This hostel was terrific! It was clean, cool, quiet, and centrally located near the village in Bar Harbor. The owner, Nova, was a very nice person and was very helpful regarding local information. The other staff person, Jessica, was really great and is a real world traveler with lots of interesting stories. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone who will be visiting Bar Harbor and Arcadia National Park.
The Cabin in Maine in East Andover … This is a great hostel! But the directions are a little fuzzy -- the highway off of Rt. 2 is Highway 5-North -- be sure to note this as I got a little lost thinking from the descripton to take "Rt. 2" to the hostel. you really need to take 5 north off of Rt. 2 between Rumford and Bethel. The owners are a terrific couple who really go out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone who would like to stay in the Maine woods.
