Our stay was amazing through and through. Everything was very clean, the inn was very cozy and felt like coming home. Juliana was incredibly helpful and her cooking was wonderful! From breakfast, to the 4 o’clock bakings, to the cookies and muffins you could grab to go, we WILL be back because of all that!

This inn was the perfect place to stay in Bar Harbor during our trip to Acadia National Park! The inn was very clean, cozy, and charmingly decorated. Staff were so kind and helpful. Meals were delicious and accommodating to preferences/dietary restrictions. The homemade baked goods that awaited us after long hikes were the cherry on top. I hope to stay here again!

Really nice place! We found safe parking in front and absolutely loved our room. The young gentleman that checked us in was very nice and helpful. The chef the next morning made us a delicious meal. This place was very close to downtown and we just walked the block to lots of places to show, sightsee, or eat. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
