Experience Bar Harbor Year-Round

Stay at the Mira Monte Inn Bed and Breakfast, located in the heart of Bar Harbor, Maine—your perfect home base for exploring Mount Desert Island, Acadia National Park, and beyond. Though distinct in name, Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, and Mount Desert Island are deeply intertwined in both geography and spirit. Settled in 1796 and originally called Eden in honor of English statesman Sir Richard Eden, the town grew from a hard-working community of fishermen, shipbuilders, and lumberjacks into today’s vibrant coastal destination.
