Staff was very hospitable, accommodating, and friendly! The inn itself was “so cute” (as my girlfriend said every time we came back to it from town). Location is perfect for walking downtown.

This is the perfect place for a family getaway. Acadia National Park is a short drive away. There’s a pool table and plenty of board games to keep you entertained in the evenings. Breakfast is made to order, and everyone is welcoming.
