reathe in the salty sea air of “Down East”

Maine! Origina lly dubbed the town of Eden,

then renamed Bar Harbor in 1917, this quaint

seaside village on Mount Desert Island is still a

little slice of heaven with sparkling bays, colonial

architecture and lush landscapes.

Start your trip by taking in scenic ocean views

as you meander along the gorgeous forest pathways

and rocky mountain roads of Acadia National

Park on a narrated horse-drawn carriage tour

from Carriages of Acadia.

Next, take a break from sightseeing and grab a

bite to eat at Testa’s restaurant. This century-old

eatery is Bar Harbor’s oldest and is known for

its locally caught seafood. Try their scrumptious

B.L.T. Lobster Roll with apple cider-smoked bacon

and lobster brought right off the boat—it doesn’t

get any fresher than that!

As the day comes to a close, head to The Maples

Inn Bed & Breakfast, where you can enjoy a game

of checkers in the Victorian library or cozy up on

the porch with a cup of tea as the sun sets. Pure bliss!

of Bar Harbor, Maine!
