Our family found the Isleview to be a great value. Rooms are on the older side and small, but are very clean. The cottages nicely spaced, not crammed as some other are. We mostly needed a clean economical place to sleep at night while we spent FULL days in Acadia. This motel/cottage establishment totally fit the bill. We found the owner to be super friendly and helpful. The breakfast reliable and good. The island is just over the bridge-Bar Harbor minutes away. The drive was not a problem for us at all. 2-3 great lobster pounds are within walking distance, and a nicely equipped grocery a minutes drive away. Our stay was at the beginning of busy season-but traffic/noise was not an issue. Altogether, I would highly recommend Isleview to anyone (including families w/children) who need a clean, friendly place to rest for the evening/night. Oh yes, they also have a grill and games in the front yard. A great place!

I stayed in one of the efficiency rooms, and loved it! The staff was helpful, and the location was ideal. I was visiting Acadia National Park for a few days, and wanted a cheap (but not sketchy) place to stay that wasn't too far from the park. This place fit the bill! I would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay at the Isleview. The cottage we rented was well kept and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful in suggestions about dining and recreation, and never once did they steer us wrong. This wasn't a luxury accomodation, but it was great value for the money. I would more than willingly return if my travels take me to the Bar Harbor area again.

Stayed here for 5 nights this past weekend and took advantage of the 10% off (with 5 nights stay - make the reservation via phone). For the money this place can't be beat! Rooms are nicely decorated and clean, and the staff was extremely friendly. Convenient location, only about 15min from Bar Harbor and less than 5 from Mt Desert Island.
Next time I come to Bar Harbor this will be my first choice for accommodations.
