This is one of the nicest places i have ever stayed in. The two lady's that run own this inn are soooo nice and welcoming. The breakfast they made every morning were the best tasting breakfast's ever. I absolutely loved the history tour as well. The room was so clean, and the bed was very, very comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was outstanding and plenty of hot water. I loved hanging out drinking coffee in the very comfortable sun room and there are plenty of dining and adult beverage options within walking distance of the inn.

I loved staying in a home built in 1850 by a Captain who earned his living from the sea while surrounded by an economy supported by the sea. The hosts and guests were marvelous and interesting to meet. Everything was perfect including the location ... easily going north to Bar Habor and south to other attractions.
