Located near the center of town, these beautiful bed and breakfast accommodations are within walking distance of wonderful restaurants, shopping, marinas, and lobster wharves. Southwest Harbor is renowned as a quiet seaside village with friendly folks, breathtaking landscape and custom built sailing yachts. Come stay with us and watch your dream become a reality while The Hinckley Company, Wilbur Yachts or Morris Yachts builds a sail boat to your exact specifications. Southwest Harbor is a great alternative to the very busy village of Bar harbor. The streets in Bar Harbor are crowded with tee shirt shops and the sidewalks are full as cruise ships dock there and thousands of passengers visit the town. Guests looking for a more relaxing true Maine atmosphere will love Southwest Harbor. The guest rooms and suites at The Harbor Cottage Inn feature wireless high-speed Internet connections, perfect if you are traveling on business, cable TV, telephone and some feature gas fireplaces, Jacuzzi tubs or steam showers. Relax in our beautifully furnished bright and airy common areas that feature exquisite antiques, original art and many contemporary touches such as overstuffed sofas. Plan an afternoon of quiet reading or listening to soft relaxing music from our custom stereo system. A glass of fine wine or a bottle of Bar Harbor Real Ale, served by our caring staff, completes the experience. Do not forget to enjoy a beautifully presented gourmet breakfast each morning on our old- fashioned front porch, sweeping front lawn or bright and sunny dining room, prior to sailing, hiking, biking, canoeing or kayaking in our glorious Acadia National Park. A wonderful informal Bar Harbor, Maine bed and breakfast, The Harbour Cottage Inn Bed and Breakfast is everything you could ask for ... quiet, romantic, casual yet elegant.
