Anne’s White Columns Inn is a beautiful property to stay at while visiting Bar Harbor. The inn is very quiet and within walking distance to restaurants and shops and just a brief drive from Acadia. Very nice people, yummy breakfast, and some snacking opportunities throughout the day! Our room was very clean, quiet, and comfortable.

The location is totally convenient to shopping, dining and the Acadia Park loop and Cadillac Mountain. The property itself and furnishings are dated and need some maintenance. There’s someone on staff only part of the day/evening.

The property is a former church converted into a B&B! Host and staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. A few blocks from the center of town but still walkable. On-site parking was a plus. Slightly on the pricey side. Television and hot water for showers were tempermental

This is the perfect place for couples or singles to stay while visiting Bar Harbor. The historic house has been lovingly taken care of and beautifully decorated. The host was friendly and helpful with general information about the area. We had a secluded haven in the mist of a lively and beautiful seaport town. We would love to go back some day.
