Typically Top-Notch Maine: Bar Harbor

An established destination that offers a quintessential Maine experience, Bar Harbor will make you feel right at home, even if it’s your first time visiting this bustling coastal haven.

Summer is the most popular time to drop by, so keep that in mind. Either join the crowds in enjoying incredible weather or, if you don’t mind chillier conditions (especially evenings) then stop by during spring or fall to find a little more breathing room. However you plan things out, an abundance of options will lie on the doorstep of your vacation rental so be prepared to stay nice and busy.

Whale watching, sailing, golfing, hiking, shopping and dining are just a few temptations that you’ll encounter; with each new day will come the promise of another satisfying experience, so let yourself be guided by the spirit of leisure and see where it takes you.

Whet your appetite for a lobster dinner (or lobster ice cream, if you’re the adventurous type), peruse the antique stores, relish the feeling of taking cover beneath a light sweater after a warm day in the sun, and take a moment every now and then to take stock of the situation - is everyone in your group having a good time?

The answer is most likely an affirmative; with so much variety and a consistently pleasant atmosphere, Bar Harbor manages the seemingly impossible feat of providing something for everyone. You’ll go down in history as a hero for your decision to bring the family to this gem of a place. Okay, that could be an exaggeration, but the nearby islands, historical sites, lighthouses as well as friendly streets like Cottage and Main will be the details that combine to bring it all together: “it” being one of the best trips you’ll ever take.
