A very nice Inn that felt like a B&B. I am used to Marriott and Hilton properties and this was a nice break from those. The Inn has a beautiful view. I enjoyed drinking my morning coffee on the patio and my family went into the hot tub at night. The breakfast options were simple but good enough to hold us over for a few hours. The rooms were also simple but clean and comfortable. OVerall, we had a great experience.

Beautiful right on the water, has a gorgeous sunset that you can see from the main inn. It is in hour from Acadia and the main downtown bar harbor. But it’s away from all the hectic and is gorgeous. So many stars can be seen from outside the cabins. We will be coming here again!!

We stayed in a well-appointed family room for 6. The futon fit two kids easily. We enjoyed the private balcony and using the hot tub and sauna at sunset each evening. We loved having coffee and tea on demand. Views wee beautiful. We enjoyed staying on the quieter side of Acadia despite the hour ish drive to bar harbor.

Amazing place! The views from the living room and terrace can't be compared to anything else. The inn is so quiet and peaceful, and the guests are taken care of so well; it's been such a great experience. Awesome coffee in the morning, too! (Apologies for drinking approximately 70% of the whole supply every morning :) ).
