Great location, super comfortable bed and sheets, delicious breakfasts! You should know that the air conditioners are in the window if that is something that might keep you awake and breakfast is only served until 930 if you’d like to sleep in, but we loved you

I can't recommend this place enough. Close to Arcadia, short walk to downtown, fantastic breakfast -- and everyone we met here (working or staying) were absolutely fabulous. We already are thinking about our next trip and will definitely plan to say here again when we are in Bar Harbor.

Love Bar Harbor and the Elmhurst Inn

The Elmhurst Inn is a wonderful, quiet B&B with a great location. The grounds are nice with Adirondack changes for relaxing outdoors. The breakfast was very good everyday. It is an easy walk to downtown. We would stay here again and recommend it to others.
