We really loved the cabin at Sunnyside! It was very clean! The kitchenette was very convenient and we used the grill they had available!!! I only wish their WiFi was more reliable as we couldn’t get a signal inside the cabin. As for being on the Island Explorer line, you had to walk down Rte 3 to the Oceanarium to get it. Not super convenient and kinda scary!! Overall, we loved it and would stay again!!

We were looking for a reasonable price room for a few days. I was told that the cabins didn't have AC so we got the motel room turned out the cabins had AC we would have taken the cabin over the room. Was a nice property. rooms outlets should be updated was a struggle charging phone's. Laundry on site bring quarters

It is a nice place to stay. We liked the pool, the rooms were clean and well maintained. Make sure you check with the owners if you want the room with AC. Our cottage didn’t have one, but we were not in the room in the day time, and nights were not hot- so it worked out. Also, WI-FI is hit or miss- not reliable. The only thing i would do next time is to bring my own towels - as the towels in the rooms are worn out and has some smell to them.

Great Place to Stay to be Off the Grid
After a series of one-night stays on a road trip from MI to MA, we stayed in ME for 3 nights to visit Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Sunnyside is at the tip of Mount Desert Island. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The pool was literally outside our back door. Our hosts, Helena and Richard, are lovely folk. The only caveat is the internet service. It was largely nonexistent during our stay. The owners are aware and were diligently working to correct the issue when last we spoke. We would stay again if in the area if the internet becomes reliable.

We have stayed here several times. It’s becoming a little out dated but is still a good place to stay. We stayed in the motel this time and found it could have used more outlets for cell chargers and such. Wi-Fi signal was pretty weak, no in room coffee, and no microwave. These are all petty things but could be improved on. Still a good value for the money 10 minutes from Acadia.

Room was very clean. Bed was very comfortable. We arrived late and left early so we really have no complaints. Floors are very uneven. Motel is fairly old. Reminds me of motels in the 60’s. Quite nostalgic.
