Gay Friendly Accommodations on Mount Desert Island

My boyfriend and I are planning a vacation to Acadia National Park, and are looking for gay friendly places to stay on Mount Desert Island. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Gay Friendly Accommodations on Mount Desert Island

Haven%26#39;t you heard? The whole state is gay-friendly! If you wait 90 days to come, you can even get married here.

Are you interested in a hotel or a Bed and Breakfast? Bar Harbor or one of the other villages on the island?

I really don%26#39;t think you%26#39;ll encounter much of a problem in the Acadia region.

Two B%26amp;Bs in Bar Harbor that I would recommend are Saltair Inn, right on the water, right in the village of Bar Harbor and Hearthside Inn, on a quiet side street in the village of Bar Harbor. But there are many other places. You could check out sleepbarharbor.com

Bar Harbor (and Maine in general) are pretty gay-friendly overall - did you here our Gov. just signed a same-sex mariiage law yesterday? A proud moment for this state, in my opinion.

Suggestions for accomodations in Bar Harbor will depend more on your preferences for the type of lodging you prefer (large hotel, small b%26amp;b, etc.), your budget and the time of year you%26#39;ll be traveling. Also consider if you want to be within walking distance to downtown shops/restaurants or a little further away from the crowds.

With a little more info, I%26#39;m sure you%26#39;ll get some suggestions.

Thank you both for your quick replies. Yes, I have heard about all the progress that has been made with moving forward on same-sex marriage in Maine. Very exciting news!

To answer a few of your questions, we%26#39;re hoping to visit in June (I know! Very last minute!) and are quite flexible about a place to stay. We would prefer either a cabin/cottage setting or a B%26amp;B (Saltair Inn looks stunning! Thanks for the suggestion). We%26#39;ve done a little research into places to stay in Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor. Also, we would prefer to stay within walking distance of town and ideally be near the water as well. Thanks again for your advice.

Now, if I can only convince my boyfriend to marry me . . . but I guess that%26#39;s for another forum! :)

Given your preference for walking distance and being near the water, then Saltair is a good choice. It is a short stroll from the village center (and actually, the whole village isn%26#39;t all that large). Saltair %26lt;is%26gt; on the water; there is a pair of Adirondack chairs down near the shore.
