Searsport isn't on the top 5 list of places in Maine, but it was exactly what we were looking for. It was just over an hour to Bar Harbor, 45 min the other way to Camden, 1.5 hours to Acadia... and for the rest of the trip, we had 3 different state parks within 15 minutes, blueberry picking just down the road, and excellent dining. If you want to experience off-the-beaten-path Maine, this place is great! The accomodations were perfect for us as well, and JD and Becky did an emergency load of towels for us partway through the stay.
