    Location is amazing. Close enough to walk everywhere but nice and quiet. We stayed in the annex & loved the privacy. The breakfasts were delicious! The house is antique and charming.

    Not a fan of pedestal sinks, difficult to manage personal care items in the morning, lol. The showerhead is too low for a 6' person

    Delicious breakfast every day, proximity to downtown

    The Inn is well maintained and a historically beautiful building. Our room was large and air conditioner was quiet and kept the room very comfortable especially with the unusual warm weather. Super great hot water for the shower!! Breakfast was also wonderful and served with much kindness and efficiency. Andy and the staff were attentive and made it feel like we were visiting good friends! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

    If you're looking for the quintessential B&B experience, this is it. The place is located right in Bar Harbor and easy to walk to everything. Easy to access Acadia too. The staff was all friendly and the breakfast was very gourmet and delicious, there was complimentary wine and cheese in the evening too. It's a nice, older building with lots of antiques.

    Convenient location. Very clean. Breakfast was fantastic, fresh hot food! There was plenty of parking, didn’t have to search or pay for a place to park your vehicle. Andy is so personable. He was always there to answer any questions. His staff was very knowledgeable also. We would definitely stay there again!!!

    Nothing I can think of.

    The breakfast was amazing, and our host was very informative of the area, engaging, and a great cook. The Inn was filled with antiques and collectables, a pleasure to be in. In addition, there was 24x7 coffee, water, and open areas. Plenty of on-premises parking as well. We will certainly stay there again!

    There was no additional seating in our room except for the weird lounger at the end of the bed. It was antique but not really comfortable. Of course, we weren't really expecting to stay in our room most of a day riding out a tropical storm. I had to find something to write here - so lame as it is, that is my only complaint.

    The innkeeper (Lane) was fantastic. She was professional and helpful. The breakfast was also very good. The rooms are nicely appointed with antiques but modern bathroom amenities to make the stay comfortable but also cozy.
