Hummingbird Suites - One Mile from Acadia National Park
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Bar Harbor
We are only 15 minutes from the top of Cadillac Mountain. We are in such a beautiful area and our friends from other States were always wanting to come here to explore the area so we built the Suites, not just for our friends but for others who would appreciate what this area has to offer.
Kevin came here just for the summer from Florida in 1987 to work as head keeper at the local zoo. He loved it so much that he never left. Donna visited here for many years from Massachusetts and decided to move here in 1991. We married in 1992 and we both love it here. We love hummingbirds so much that we decided to name our place after them since we have so many that visit our gardens.
We are only 1 mile from the main entrance to Acadia National Park.

Kevin & Donna: Just wanted to say thanks for such wonderful accommodations during our stay in Bar Harbor(9/02/06-9/9/06). It was all we expected and more. You both thought of everything you would need for a home away from home. From fresh flowers, to the eggs and tomatoes and of course the candy, it was a great place for our vacation. The trail guides, bike path guide and the travel guide to the other side of the island were very handy in our travels. . We had such a great time . When we return to Bar Harbor we don't need to research where we will stay, it will be The Hummingbird Suite. P.S. The wireless is great......

A vacation suite with all the amenities of home, except it’s immaculately clean when you arrive, and somebody else will clean it again after you leave. Comes with a fully equipped kitchen, wireless internet access, 2 mountain bikes (with helmets), outdoor grill and lobster pot, even actual live hummingbirds that like to visit the feeder conveniently hung outside the kitchen window. Excellent location, within minutes of Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, lots of restaurants, and the best lobster pound in Maine. Your hosts, Donna and Kevin, are around, but only if you need assistance, advice, or help with making a reservation; otherwise, you enjoy complete, blissful privacy.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

My husband and I were very pleased with Hummingbird Suite. Every detail to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable was available. I felt at home as soon as we arrived at the clean and well-maintained suite. The owners provided several local movies about the island and numerous informative pamphlets and enjoyable books. The bed was very comfortable and we loved the atmosphere of the open living area with it's large window. Accessibility to the yard with bird feeders and of course the garden planted with flowers to attract hummingbirds was a bonus. We enjoyed spending time there. I highly recommend staying here. Everything listed regarding the property; location, photos, description is accurate. The owners were friendly, helpful and available if needed. You will certainly enjoy your visit.

Great value; Loved staying here!

My husband and I plus our two young adult sons stayed here in late June. We're bargain-hunter travelers--my husband calls it "indoor camping." Hummingbird Suites is by far the best "deal" we've ever had. It was beautiful, immaculately clean, well-equipped, and roomy enough to feel very comfortable for the four days we stayed here. We loved having fresh eggs from the owner's chickens for breakfast every day. Two bikes (and a bike rack!) were available to use. The only drawback (which was not a problem for us) is that the house is very close to the road that goes into Bar Harbor so you hear some road noise. We all loved staying here and will definitely recommend it to friends and family!

We stayed in the Hummingbird Suite for the Memorial Day weekend. We were very impressed the moment we walked into the suite. It was sparkling clean, bright and nicely decorated. It has everything we need. We particularly enjoyed the hospitality of Donna and Kevin. They were very thoughtful to make the arrangement for our 7 month old baby so he can sleep and eat comfortably. We couldn't thank them enough. I would highly recommend the place when you visit Acadia. It's convenient, comfortable and very well equipped than even a five-star hotel. A best-kept secret in town.

My husband and I stayed in the Chickadee Suite for a week and we were just enamored with this place! The proprietors have thought of every single detail to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I felt like I was staying at home and it was warm and inviting. Sharing a glass of wine by their gardens at the end of a busy day was sublime! They have provided every amenity one would desire and are accommodating with all requests. My husband and I are well traveled for sure, but this was the best place we have ever stayed. I'm sure we'll make a habit of returning to the Hummingbird Suites. We would opt for these Suites over any of the over-priced hotel rooms in town any day!

This is simply the best place to stay for a family. It is clean, cozy, and convenient. The rooms are surrounded by beautiful vegetable and flower gardens. Kids can watch their chickens in the back yard, or see all kind of birds in the gardens. After hiking in the Acadia mountain trails, you can cook a good dinner in the super clean kitchen, or boil lobster in the outdoor pot, or have a BBQ, all provided by the owner. I feel this is the most comfortable place to stay for a vacation. I will always stay in this place whenever I go to Acadia Park. Jay & Mary, Somerset, New Jersey

An impromptu visit to Acadia to hike for a couple of days and a place to stay where we could make a cup of tea was all we were looking for. We found it and more at Hummingbird Suites! All the comforts of home, plus! Fresh eggs for breakfast and at Donna's suggestion, an afternoon visit to Morninglories for macaroons. We don't know how Donna and Kevin managed it but out of week of rain the sun was shining on the two days we planned to hike!

We rented the beautiful Hummingbird Suite for 5 days in July and had a fantastic time. Donna and Kevin have created a warm, beautiful, private suite for guests and made us feel like family. Donna has wonderful suggestions for things to do and places to eat. They have truly thought of every need of the traveler and will definitely be back very soon. Thanks again Donna and Kevin!
