Once inside the central entrance hall, you will see the spacious living room to your left, with comfortable seating and large flat screen HDTV, home theater speakers, and DVD player. To your right is the reading room, well stocked with travel guides and maps, a table and chairs for studying the many brochures and area menus, shelves of books for children and adults, and a recliner for dozing or reading a good book. Old-fashioned pocket doors lead from the reading room into the sun-filled dining room, with lots of room for family meals or playing board games from the corner china cabinet. Crossing the hall past the powder room, you will find yourself in a large, fully stocked kitchen blending antique charm with modern amenities. Every effort ha been made to ensure that guests have all they need to prepare meals for both indoor and outdoor dining. Just past the kitchen is a sunny hallway leading to the laundry and shower rooms. A washer and dryer, drying rack, laundry baskets and detergent, ironing board and iron are provided. The separate shower room provides guests with a convenient place to wash up upon returning from hiking or biking in Acadia. Shelves hold fluffy towels, and a hairdryer and variety of soaps are provided. Four steps down from the rear hallway is the charming patio room. Surrounded by antique glass windows and featuring a brick floor, this large space has comfortable outdoor furniture for relaxing, as well as a table with wooden dining chairs and a cooling ceiling paddle fan. Just outside the back door is the gas grill, and a picnic table is placed in the shade across the big fenced backyard. The second floor has four comfortable bedrooms with a range of bed sizes. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed with memory foam mattress. There is a room with a queen-sized bed, a room with a double brass four-poster, and a room with two twin beds. A pack-and-play and a wooden toddler bed are available upon request. While we hope our visitors come to Ledgelawn Cottage to relax, we also provide a second-floor office equipped with computer, multi-function printer, and high speed internet Wi-Fi which is available throughout the house. A skylit full bath with shower tub, towels, hairdryer and soaps completes the second floor.

One of the great things to do with (or of course without) your kids when visiting Bar Harbor

After spending a season in Eastport, Diver Ed’s Dive-In Theater trips aboard The Starship Enterprise are again scheduled to explore Frenchman Bay for the 2022 season.

FYI

According to park officials, Acadia has limits on the size of groups “to lessen the impact of large groups on vegetation, trails and the experience of other hikers.”

A treasure in our town. Do what you can.

The Criterion Theatre is turning 90 years old this year, and is in need of some building repairs. Many of you may know, the Criterion is on the National Registry of Historic Places and we want to keep the building looking and functioning well for years to come.

Here are some of the projects we are in need of completing:

- Repointing the brick on the Rodick St. side
- Sealing the brick on the interior of the stage
- Maintaining the original curtains (stage and loge)

If you are able, we would greatly appreciate your help in donating to the historical preservation of The 1932 Criterion Theatre

Come for one of these all season long

You can enjoy your Reuben 2 ways: Classic with corned beef or try it with haddock instead… either way is a winner 🥇

This leaves a big void in our culinary choices. Thanks for these past years

In February 2006 we sat in an empty space on Clark Point Rd and had a vision. A vision to open a restaurant to where a community could feed their heart and soul year round. A place that guests could come in out of the cold, meet friends, interview candidates, laugh, sing, and above all, create memories. But every story has a final chapter.
On April 15 we are celebrating our final day. We have been proud to be your “Cheers” of Southwest Harbor and thank you for supporting and embracing our vision. Sips 2.0 will remain open, providing wraps, snacks, salads, frozen entrees and other goods. Join us for our fond farewell with Brian Kupiec & friends returning to the Sips stage starting at 6pm on Friday April 15th. Thank you for all the memories❤️🍷
