Quintessential Experience.
Pros:

Quaint room. Nice staff. Bar on the lawn with music. 24 hour coffee. Muffins and fruit and yogurt with granola in the mornings. Right in the middle of downtown. Free parking. Close to Acadia. LOVE IT!

Pros:

Went with a group that has gone every year for many years but only my second time. Group consensus is that it has gone downhill since ownership change. She is starting to show areas of neglect. Room smelled strongly of likely cleaning agents but odor never went away in 3 nights (didn’t have room cleaned during stay). The best parts used to be sitting outside with the live music but now the area is no longer reserved for guests and anyone can sit there. We only were able to enjoy that one day. They’re used to be someone greeting you upon arrival with snacks and a little drink, but that is gone as well. I suppose the changes were needed to make more profitable but it remains one of the most expensive places to stay and now does not have the personal touch. We will not be going back.😢

Pros:

The place was awesome. Room was nicely furnished. Afternoon entertainment was great. Firepits on front lawn was fun and enjoyed the people we met. Parking was great as parking in Bar Harbor can be tough. Location was perfect, just a few minutes from Acadia. Highly recommend.

Pros:

I loved the aesthetic of the building and the fire pits outside with live music was wonderful. Staff leading up to my trip were rude however once I arrived they were very polite. Cleaning services didn't do our room. Perhaps it's only between Lodgers?

Pros:

The property is great! Perfect walkable downtown location. My room kind of felt like a terrarium (room 11 with all the windows), but the draperies were sufficient to create privacy. The WiFi didn’t work in my room unfortunately. Staff were lovely and I appreciated the breakfast! All in all would stay again.

Pros:

Live music was awesome - the bed was comfortable and the property was charming and lovely. The bartenders and servers outside were friendly but the front desk staff working over the weekend seemed constantly annoyed.

Pros:

It's an interesting old place with really cool features such as copper ceilings, and quirky rooms. It was nice having a porch to sit on, especially as the rooms are a little small. It has a fun atmosphere with live music and cocktails on the front lawn every afternoon. The rooms are a little dated and could use an update of lights. The shower was so dark you couldn't see what soap you were using. Also breakfast was disappointing across the board.

Pros:

GREAT PLACE AND LOCATION if you want to be in the middle of things. Walk to everything. We stayed in a cottage and had privacy while still in the heart of town. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Definitely stay there a rain.

Great location but not very comfortable.
Pros:

Great location with free onsite parking. Beds are very uncomfortable and loud. Sunken in on each side. We stayed in a king room on the first floor and it was quite loud. Staff is friendly but not always available-we had to call someone to check in and check out.

This is such a special place! We loved everything about our stay. The Inn is so charming and a perfect location for food, music and rest. We even hiked to Acadia from the Inn. Can’t wait to come back.

We loved our little cottage. It was a perfect size and we had everything we needed. The staff is wonderful! Friendly, helpful and fun! We really enjoyed the afternoon music and drinks on the lawn. The musicians were great and the ambiance was wonderful. Ricardo, Orville, Chris Cory and Brian made the lawn experience super fun!
