Description

Circa 1740. Perfectly poised to fully enjoy Southwest Harbor, this historic New England-style farmhouse sits on the waterfront of Manset near the entrance to Somes Sound on Mt. Desert Island in Maine. Relax in the public room or on the oceanside deck amid views of Acadia National Park and the scenic mountains. Stay in a comfortable guest room or suite in the main house with a nautical theme, period antiques and mariner décor. Private and spacious two-bedroom cottages with a kitchen are also available nearby. After a continental breakfast go for a bike ride, and check out the onsite boat rentals for motoring or sailing. Adventures are waiting to happen here.

Relief from the heat

We're here again for the 18th year enjoying this beautiful view & weather. What a relief from the heat at home in New Orleans. Thanks for another great year.

Wish we could stay longer!

We have had a great stay at The Moorings Inn. The Lookout-Topside was a fantastic base for our holiday/honeymoon in Acadia - wish we could stay longer!

It's such a nice feeling to know that we can go somewhere to get away from it all and be treated like family.

Generations of Sea Glass finds

Thanks for another wonderful stay. I am so sentimental towards your beach. I remember vacationing in the Pilot House back in the mid 70's when I was a little girl. Every morning I woke early and was eager to run down to the beach and hunt for sea glass. This summer I am here with my own children and my three year old son is just as thrilled with the beach as I. Thanks for still being here and keeping everything so memorable.

Proposal under the Stars

Thank you so very much for a wonderful stay in Acadia! It is our first time in the area and will surely be back to vist your lovely inn in the future - especially since we just got engaged last night by the campfire, under the stars & a full moon! : ) Your property provided the perfect, unexpected backdrop from our special occasion. 'till next time...

Nowhere else we would rather stay

Thank you for a wonderful visit! As we explored the island we didn't come across anywhere else where we would have rather stayed! The view is incredible and the staff are friendly and helpful. We will be back.

5 days turned into 10! And we still do not want to leave!

To our new friends at the Moorings, We will tell everyone we know who is coming to MDI that you are "the Place". Thank you for everything. What a wonderful memory for us! 5 days turned into 10! And we still do not want to leave!
