Hear What Our Guests Have to Say

We stayed here in early June and we loved it! We got the room with a King size bed and were impressed how big the room was. The pictures don’t do it justice and we really liked the size of the room, everything was neat and tidy. Housekeeping staff was great as they made sure to clean the room every day, very quickly whenever we left. Front desk staff and owner were very friendly offering tips on things to do. Location is in a great place as it is close to lots of restaurants in town. The room has a refrigerator and using the microwave in the lobby was convenient as you can use it even after hours. The room had two chairs and a small table outside which is a nice touch for eating outside and taking in the great Maine summer weather! The price for our stay was also very reasonable compared to other places and we definitely plan to stay again.
Absolutely love this place! The people are amazing, rooms are clean and cared for, less than a 10 minute walk to town which is great, close enough but not in the mix of everything.
We.re so happy to be here. If you come, you won’t regret it because the service, the room, and Kate — a wonderful person who was very attentive — made our stay amazing. She gave us a lot of information about places to visit in the area. A big hug to her and her team. Thank you so much.
This location was excellent within Bar Harbor. It was close to restaurants, shops, and the water. It was also a very close drive to Acadia National Park, usually within 15 minutes or 20 minutes tops. The room itself was spacious and clean. The front office had a water station to refill for hikes and also coffee. We were also able to keep our car parked right out front in a very convenient location. Front desk staff could not have been nicer. They were helpful with restaurant locations and suggestions. Also with just general conversation and information. Very happy with our stay here.
Staying here was the best decision we could’ve made! The rooms were very clean and tidy. This inn had everything we needed: the lobby had ice, a water bottle refilling station, maps, toiletries, and more. The deck had nice seating for fresh air. The location was so central and within minutes of walking to everything we wanted to access in the town. And the best part was the staff — super friendly and gave helpful advice on our itinerary!
