This is a true “old” Maine experience. The young, energetic staff greeted us with a warm welcome and continually checked to make sure our needs were met. The rooms were decorated in nautical themes. They were not large but well proportioned. Th bed was fantastic. The bed linens and bath towels were excellent and EVERYTHING was spotless. It was such a nice change from commercial properties. We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We high,y recommend this lovely inn.

I loved everything about this stay! The staff were exceptional! It was clean and I loved the homey, yet elevated environment. My only complaint is that there weren’t enough parking spaces for every vehicle.

Excellent inn with many rooms but didn’t feel crowded even at breakfast in the indoor/outdoor spaces. Free private parking and walkable in town. Cute garden and gas fire pit outside also with outdoor rocking chairs on the front porch, and a side area for eating or resting outside. Breakfast was good and included a savory or a sweet option and fresh fruit. Pastries, bread, cereal, and other accoutrements were available for supplement. Rooms were very nice with good beds and bedding and had a microwave and mini fringe and small counter area.

We were ushered out of our room in the morning by a friendly fire alarm set off by the kitchen staff. the breakfast was good but somewhat small portions and the buffet area wasn't restocked at any point throughout our meal.

What a great spot! Staff was exceptionally helpful. The easy parking and short walk to town was a bonus because of very limited parking in town. The room was quiet and clean, with a hot shower, comfortable bed and coffee in the room. Breakfast served in the main lounge was delicious. I’d highly recommend this Inn!

One Night in Bar Harbor

Very convenient to Main Street downtown, just a few blocks to walk or drive. Parking on site, easy access to Inn. Bed was great, bathroom was very tiny and less than appealing. We were facing the roadway in our room and we did not experience any noise which was a plus. Breakfast was included in the rate and was choice of pancakes or a frittata. Coffee and muffins and fruit were also options. We are coffee lovers and would give the coffee a thumbs down, but nice selection of hot teas. Overall, clean and great location. This is akin to a mini hotel.

The inn is lovely and very clean. Ample parking in the back. It’s on a busy street but no noise. It is walkable into the downtown area. We had “bald porcupine” room. It’s on the main level with no one above us so it was especially quiet. We had two issues. The pillows are like cement. We asked for a soft pillow and the desk clerk said that’s all we have. The TVs are smart TVs and one night we wanted to watch the Yankees- Red Sox game and noticed that there was no Apple TV icon. We asked them in the morning if they could somehow get Apple TV on our TV. They didn’t. We would stay again, but somehow bring or buy extra pillows.
