It still cost a small fortune despite being one of the cheaper Bar Harbor hotel options but it made our lives much easier for getting into Acadia quickly. In the end we chose a lower budget motel in Bar Harbor during our fall visit to Acadia.

We knew that also meant paying more money for the convenience but we still wanted to keep costs down as much as we could. So that ruled out staying anywhere requiring a long drive for accessing Acadia Park Loop Rd. Sunrise photography and early starts for hiking are always on our agenda. Well, our top priority was to be as close to the best things to do in Acadia National Park as possible. Where did we stay when we visited Acadia? While we have not stayed in every Airbnb featured, unless otherwise stated, these listings are vetted based on amenities, location, previous guest reviews, and decor.Acadia Hotels FAQ’s Our Acadia Hotel Experience

Why rough it when you can catch some proper R&R?Įditor's note: Due to some national parks' remote locations, Airbnbs are not available near every park-including National Park of American Samoa, Nevada's Great Basin National Park, North Dakota's Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and Alaska's Wrangell-St. We’ve put together a list of our favorite Airbnbs near almost every national park, from industrial lofts sprinkled with contemporary art to riverfront villas brimming with creature comforts. While in-park hotels might conjure up images of yesteryear with their rustic charm, discerning travelers often want more on the amenity front. Many of the top 10 most-visited parks have implemented day-use reservation systems following record visitor numbers in 2021, and even if you’re lucky enough to nab one of those coveted spots, there’s still lodging to worry about.
