First time at a Bed and Breakfast and it did not disappoint! We were running late for check-in due to travel issues and they were very kind to accommodate the later arrival. Staff were very nice and the food was delicious! Would definitely recommend the Inn! Thanks for all your hospitality!

We loved our stay, the home, room, everything was beautiful. The tips from the owner of what to do in the park were perfect. Breakfasts were wonderful! Our only comment for improvement was that the bed in our room, Strawberry Hill was old and very squeaky. It probably needs to be replaced. Other than that a fantastic stay!

Very nice, the other guests made it special!

We really enjoyed sitting across the breakfast table with other guests and talking about what they had done and enjoyed the most. It helped us get the most out of our visits to the park, our sunset cruise and our restaurant selections.

A perfect bed and breakfast just off the main streets of downtown Bar Harbor. Andy was the perfect host. Jeff was very friendly and helpful as well. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. Wine and cheese with other guests in the evening was fun. Parking on property was great, you can easily walk anywhere in town. Don’t sleep on this one. It’s better than the other one you are considering.
