The Inn was a perfect spot to stay just outside of Bar Harbor but close to the park. They were so accepting of our dog who traveled with us and the room was very cozy. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Super lovely stay! We ended up being late for check-in because of our flight being delayed. This was no problem at all, the manager sent us a message with a code to unlock our key for our room and details for breakfast the next day. The room was clean and cozy, loved waking up to the sound of nature and the beautiful nature outside, I want to go back now!

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the Otter Creek Inn. The Only minor complaint we might have was the size of the shower in unit #5 (the only one we know about). If you are a large person that shower may present an issue. Other than that, our week there was great. Dawn, the manager was always helpful and we shared a few laughs with Evelyn over morning coffee. Speaking of which, the "small" continental breakfast at the market is great. If you want to be out of the town to escape the madness of the crowds after a day of hiking/ shopping/ eating, then this is the perfect place for you. I mentioned the Market. Check prices there for some of the things sold in town. The Market price is much lower. Souvenir Maple Syrup was $5.99 in town and $2.99 at the Otter Creek Market for the exact same thing, just saying. :)

This nostalgic inn was the perfect place to stay for our trip to Acadia with our pup. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the continental breakfast was appreciated, and the store next door with the delicious clam chowder rounded out the experience.

An older historic inn with quaint comfortable rooms and very good service. Close to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor and Central to the rest of the island without the hustle and crowds of Bar Harbor. It was nice to retire each evening sitting by the fire pit enjoying the sounds of nature.
