Sand Bar Cottage Inn stay

Sand Bar Cottage Inn greets you with beautiful gardens, a welcoming front porch and lots of smiles. We made the BEST CHOICE of a place to stay on Bar Harbor. As a airline family, both of us have spent a lot of time in hotels and wanted something different for our Bar Harbor stay. Comfortable beds, clean showers and charmng decor greet every visitor. The owner, Chris, is a delightful person and his personality is shown through the employees, decor and all. Oh, let's not forget the breakfasts! These are AMAZING!!! and to top it off, there are cookies and cake every afternoon tea! We are definitely going to be back!

This was a beautiful, clean, and fabulous B&B with a great walkable location to downtown Bar Harbor. Its gardens were an absolute feast for the eyes! Our room was lovely and private and Kris, the caretaker, was friendly and informative. The breakfasts were wonderful too. Our stay there was all too short.

We had booked here for a one night stay in July 2025 but when we arrived we loved it and decided if we could we would love to stay for another night. Chris was very accommodating and got us an another night here. This was nothing but fantastic! Excellent location, staff were phenomenal and the property was nothing but beautiful indeed and well kept. I would highly recommend this hotel and Chris and his staff were very friendly and we were treated with the utmost respect. BTW we had breakfast there both mornings and it was Devine! Can’t wait to come back❤️

I would stay there every day and twice on Sunday. They had an amazing breakfast every morning, tea time at three each day with dessert and drinks, music night, and the location was the BEST. It was so easy to get around and see and do the activities I had planned. I loved everything about it. Thanks Chris! -Sarah

We were greeted with the warmest welcome from Kenesha who was very kind and helped us out to book an additional night. Our luggage was transferred to a new room the next day while we were hiking. So the transition was smooth and with no delay. Chris was extremely friendly and was around the property every day. I loved the happy relaxed atmosphere and felt like visiting a family. We stayed in Acadia Cottage which was a lovely space with the only slight inconvenience - AC unit felt a bit too loud since I have a high sensitivity to noise. We got lucky and were able to sleep with open windows. It was very quiet outside since the room is tucked in all the way in the back of the property. Parking was a bit challenging at times but there was always enough space available. Daily breakfast was quite exquisite and freshly brewed coffee was available all day together with an afternoon treat. We also got to enjoy a life music right in the beautiful garden next to the main house. Overall, it was everything we were hoping for. Thank you Chris for being such an amazing host!

This is an excellent B&B! Chris, the host, makes everyone feel at home and relaxed, it truly is like a home away from home. It is located really close to all of the downtown restaurants, shops and waterfront and it was so nice not having to worry about finding a parking spot in a busy Bar Harbor. The Sandbar is a place where you just want to stay, maybe stay forever, if it were only possible!
