A great one night stay

Room was cozy and clean, decorated so cutely, and perfect for a one-night stay. It is close to Acadia, and a little farther from downtown bar harbor, which was a plus for us. Very quiet an quaint.

Cute place to stay. Convenient to all we wanted to see in and around Bar Harbor and the island. While an older property, it has been well maintained. We’d definitely stay there again.

The owners were very sweet and attentive. They allowed us to stay an extra hour past their normal check out time. I would definitely stay there again. The only downfall is that the property sits beside a main road with a lot of traffic.

The cottage was very cute, very convenient. The owners are very nice and offer coffee in the morning in the office! Room was cute, clean and quiet. The only complain is that the shower was very tiny, but that’s it!! Loved my stay, thank you :)

The cottage did NOT have a coffeemaker and the kitchenette consisted of a dorm fridge with a microwave on top of it in a cutout next to the closet. But the cottage was clean and the shower has great water pressure. Location is convenient to Acadia national park and other towns to visit. We went to Walmart and purchased a coffee maker!

The Sunnyside Motel is an excellent place to stay while visiting Acadia National Park or Bar Harbor! We liked the cottage / vintage “motel” type lodging! It was cute and in a peaceful environment, and it was nice & clean! The king size bed was big and comfortable! The owners are very friendly and helpful! I would recommend this place while in Maine! Thank you!

Thank you for hosting, Helen!

I stayed a total of four nights. The place was very clean and quiet (my room was towards the back), though the motel was full. I did not rent a car, there were two shuttle pick-up spots within walking distance. In the evening, shuttle drivers would drop me off right by the property when I gave them advanced notice. Very conveniently located. Helen (the owner) is very nice and shared interesting story and useful trip information of the area. I enjoyed my stay there.

The property was very cozy and cute, perfect if you're looking for a reasonable place to stay in Bar Harbor. The owners were very welcoming and gave us great advice about where to go around the island. The service is unbeatable as well and they go the extra mile to make sure your stay is clean and comfortable. Also a very convenient drive to Acadia. Definitely would stay here again when we come back to Bar Harbor.
