We utilize several different buildings on the COA campus. Some are newer and some older, and all have their own charm. Each room has a twin bed (or more if shared,) dresser or closet, and a desk. There are shared common rooms and fully equipped kitchens on the ground floor for your use, and you’ll also share a bathroom with others (even if you have a single room.)

There are a multitude of hotels less than a 10 minute walk from COA’s campus, including Bar Harbor Motel, Edenbrook Motel and Acadia Inn – and a wealth of other local options to explore! Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce has a comprehensive list of accommodations that you can find here.
