My stay at the resort was quite pleasant overall. The townhome style accommodations offered a lot of space for our group, and we enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and scenic walking paths. However, a few aspects could have been improved, such as the limited TV channels and some additional fees for amenities that I believe should have been included in the price.

The townhouse style unit had three floors, providing ample space for four adults. The master bedroom was particularly nice and spacious, while the kitchen was a bit cramped.

While the service was generally good, I was taken aback by the extra charges for Wi-Fi and linen replacement, which I thought should be complimentary for the price we paid.

I had a fantastic stay at the resort! The accommodations were spacious and offered a perfect setup for family gatherings. Being so close to Acadia National Park made our outdoor adventures incredibly convenient.

Our stay at Harbor Ridge was absolutely wonderful! The location is stunning, right near the entrance to Somes Sound and perfect for accessing the beauty of Mount Desert Island. The accommodations were spacious and well-equipped, especially for families. The unique lobster delivery service added a delightful touch to our dining experience. However, we wished the back decks offered a better view of the harbor since the tall trees obstructed some scenery.
