Beautiful, well-maintained inn with an interesting history. Location was ideal - just a couple of blocks walk to the heart of downtown bar harbor. Super friendly and helpful staff. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast each morning was excellent. 10-15 minute drive to the major sites with Acadia. Would absolutely return on a future visit.
