Acadia, Bar Harbor &
Southwest Harbor
Discover all that Acadia, Bar Harbor, and Southwest offer during your stay at Lindenwood Inn on Mount Desert Island. Located on the quiet side of the island in the village of Southwest Harbor, Lindenwood Inn is a perfectly situated home base to explore the area. Shopping and sightseeing are a short, scenic drive away in Bar Harbor. The hiking trails, lakes, and mountains of Acadia National Park span across the island, and many less crowded trails and lakes are just a short distance from the Inn. While Bar Harbor and Acadia might be the most talked about attractions on the island, Southwest Harbor is the best-kept secret. Known for its off-the-beaten-path location and slower pace, it is home to restaurants, shops, and the working waterfront, all of which are within walking distance from the Inn. Head down to the harbor and sail away on a sailboat to take in a completely different view of the island, from the water. Venture out on the mail boat or a water taxi to explore surrounding islands, each with a unique feel. Rent a kayak and paddle around on a lake or rent a bike and explore the island. At the end of the day, return “home” to your cozy room or suite at the Lindenwood Inn. Before settling in for the night, be sure to mix up a drink at the bar, take a dip in the pool, relax in the hot tub, or lounge in luxury outside and gaze at the stars.
MAGICAL

Mountains, beaches, lakes, ponds, lighthouses, and picnic areas are spread throughout the park. Hike a trail or bike a carriage road. Boat in a lake or swim in the ocean.
