Had a great stay.
"I’m sure not many head up to Bar Harbor and plan on watching a lot of TV but that was all I had a problem with. Had to go into town for Thursday night football, which is a super short drive. Add a smart tv to go along with great Wi-Fi and it’s perfect. Great location at a great price. Thanks!"
