Great place!! Central location able to walk to downtown every day, room was incredibly clean, the staff was so friendly and extremely helpful (they knew what shuttle we should take better than the folks working the bus stop lol), was great to have parking as well (and no issue getting a spot!) will definitely be back!
Super comforting and close to town. Perfect for our little two night stay in the area. Extremely nice staff, great recommendations, only a short walk into town.
Great place to stay. Very convenient access to Acadia National Park. Owner was amazing. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Will definitely return and recommend highly.
Property is conveniently located off Rt 3 and it is a very leisurely 5-7 minute walk to the main strip and harbor area so no need to drive if you don't want to. Rooms are clean and well kept, queen bed was very comfortable. Free ice and water refill station in check in area are convenient and much appreciated. Ladies that keep the check in desk are very friendly and will offer recommendations for food and activities. Rooms are relatively quiet considering proximity to the main road. Worth it for the convenience. Would love to stay here again!

Walk to everything! Spotless room, newly remodeled, comfy bed, cute decor.
The only small quibble is we like to sleep cold and the ac didn't seem to be quite right but very clean and a perfect spot to be to access the town and the park
Staff was very personable, offered my wife and i the local dining options and where to visit on our trip. Also gave us a few books to look at about the history of the island
The stay was incredible! The room was great and the staff was incredible! I can’t say enough about the staff truly. Everything was a really easy walking distance from our room which saved us a ton for parking. Go to Jordan’s right down the street for some AMAZING breakfast, get the blue berry pancakes, trust me!
The owner and staff are so warm and welcoming, check in and out was a breeze, location is phenomenal and felt so safe as a solo traveler. Highly highly recommend.
Perfect location, close to the park and a good walkable distance to the downtown. Away from the noise and through traffic but walkable distance to the grocery store, restaurants, and water. Highly recommend!
