Acadia National Park...A SUPER SPECIAL WEEKEND GIFT
 
We are hoping to find a VERY SPECIAL , scenic, excellent service and food, B & B, VERY CONVENIENTLY LOCATED NEAR ACADIA NATIONAL PARK.... to be given to our children to mark their 25 th anniversary. They love nature, hiking, and good food. We will try to buy a gift certificate and the kids will figure out when they are free, and try to make a reservation. ( I guess a pool .... But, I do not know which month this will be used.) Is there a best month to go?

THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR IDEAS!!!

Others will have specific recommendations but do know that the town of Bar Harbor (very lovely, tons of inns, great restaurants, shopping, views) is just outside the park and there are free shuttles to various places within the park running on a regular schedule. The buses carry bikes too. (We were just there, but in an RV).

Acadia NP
 
There are several romantic and upscale inns and b &bs in BH, as well as hotels. Look on Acadia Magic for a list. You can see what appeals. The Asticou Inn in Northeast Harbor would be lovely. ANP entrance is not far from BH or N.Harbor. I've always wanted to stay at the Bar Harbor Inn, but it's beyond my budget. Their outdoor dining terrace is wonderful though and we eat there every year when we visit.

B&Bs do not usually have pools, but the Chiltern Inn has a pleasant indoor pool. Rooms are large and it's a rather "romantic" Inn.
