I felt completely duped by this property’s rating and frankly I suspect that it has been falsely inflated by fake profiles. What was presented as a quaint inn with free breakfast just outside of town was actually an old farmhouse on the side of a noisy highway with an unsecured front entrance and no working heat! We stayed for one night in October when temps hit the 30s overnight and had only a strange space heater that never worked properly and was mounted to the wall in a way that the cord could not even physically reach an outlet without an extension cord that was not provided (and seems rather unsafe). We had to scavenge through the wholly unattended “lobby” to find a cord and followed the room’s included instructions (handwritten on a stained piece of paper) with no perceivable heat output all night. The room’s contact took hours to reply, offered no real assistance, and sounded suspiciously like an AI bot. We camp, we know old houses, we’re from Chicago and can handle cold, but to have no heat unexpectedly (and no help) was ridiculous at this price point! The amenities simply do not match what this property is charging. “Breakfast included” that is actually a voucher for takeaway spot over 15 minutes away…instant coffee and an empty electric kettle…an old fridge with expired breastmilk left inside…neighbor coughing all night…strong well water smell…bathroom not as pictured…stained bedspread with a pubic hair…dollar store toiletries…just not at all what was advertised!

Not enough hot water to fill up spa tub- not even enough to cover jets. Could hear others walking and talking in rooms above and adjacent, road noise, very outdated and mismatched furnishings. Breakfast is provided at cafe in town and was excellent.

Wonderful old house renovated to a beautiful inn. My bathroom was bigger then my living room at home! The hot tub was excellent. The only thing I noticed was that the hot water got a little less hot as I ran the hot tub, but after turning it off for just a couple minutes, it'd run nice and hot again. Nice place!

Highlight of the stay is breakfast included, which is offered at a restaurant in bar harbor. Otherwise conditions of the hotel matched my expectations, i.e. not much. The room is small, old and a bit smelly, BUT it is better than my stays past years, in same price range. So the issue is not with the hotel, but with the region which lacks quality hotels for reasonable cost Set your expectations right and you will enjoy the stay.

It is a very unique place in that is it nicely decorated, B&B feel and not too expensive, very quiet, right off the major road, I have a Hunters Brook room, nice bathroom, nice furniture, free tea and coffee and snacks, I was very pleased it and it was close to Bar Harbor and all things close by in either direction.

The property and room were great. Easy check-in and check-out using access codes instead of regular keys or key cards were a breeze. The stained glass window panes in the front window in the tub room were a great touch. Beware of the comfy bed and pillows, they will swallow you up and take you to dreamland very quickly. We will be there again soon.
