Great stay! We loved this place- so quaint and homey.. beautiful grounds. Free breakfast was delicious and so convenient. Our first 2 nights were spent in a first floor room called “yellow birch” it was decent. Pretty standard - but when we extended our stay 1 more night we moved to the “burnt porcupine” room- definitely an upgrade. So roomy and cute little terrace. Staff were friendly and on site laundry was helpful. Location is walkable to the downtown areas - great free parking here too!

This place was great. Very clean and great breakfast with a lovely porch to eat out on a nice day. Walkable to town, and an Elevator for accessibility. The only negative was that we couldn’t get the air conditioner unit to work. We happened to run into the front desk clerk in the hallway. When we approached him with our issue, he said he couldn’t talk to us he was “off the clock.” So we had a very hot uncomfortable night, especially my 90 year old mom. We saw him the next morning and he asked how our night was. We told him about the air and he said not to try to adjust the wall unit, to instead adjust the thermostat on the wall. Wish he would have just said that the night before. I respect his boundaries being off the clock though the same energy it took him to say he was “ off the clock” he could have said, “ did you try the thermostat on the wall?” Other than that it was very nice.

Mid level Inn
Nice in town location. Close to everything. Small rooms. Would expect better pillows and premium bedding. No robes- expected in this category. Nice daily breakfasts. Fairly friendly service. No maid service, after nearly a week- after requesting. Finally came thru. A mid level Inn with high prices, that don’t quite match.

Serviceable and convenient, but misleading
The proximity to downtown Bar Harbor is excellent. There is ample parking. The staff was very personable. The breakfast was a a good option if you don’t want to pay to go to a local restaurant for every meal—with both a sweet and a savory option. I enjoyed the egg frittata with balsamic glaze. However, after staying a a true bed and breakfast in Camden previously—I do feel that calling this place an “Inn” is misleading. It is less of a true bed and breakfast, and more a small hotel with an Inn exterior. Thus, it was more commercial and basic in its furnishings and lacked the charm of a true coastal Bed and Breakfast. At the price I paid per night, I expect better quality furnishings; more updated, luxurious bathrooms; and overall a cleaner room.
