A perfect bed and breakfast just off the main streets of downtown Bar Harbor. Andy was the perfect host. Jeff was very friendly and helpful as well. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. Wine and cheese with other guests in the evening was fun. Parking on property was great, you can easily walk anywhere in town. Don’t sleep on this one. It’s better than the other one you are considering.

Wonderful Inn

Charming inn close to “downtown” Bar Harbor and Acadia. No need to search for a place to park since the Inn is so close to many restaurants and shops. Our room was spacious and we enjoyed the smart TV which allowed us to watch a wide variety of streaming services. Wish more hotels and Inns would have this. Breakfast was great with a different selection each day and there were always options for people with food allergies. We would definitely stay again if we’re in the area
