Great location, walkable to downtown Bar Harbor and close to Acadia National Park. Clean rooms, delicious breakfasts and helpful tips about the area from Dan, the Inn Keeper. We had a great stay.
The room was very clean and very quaint. We loved it the owners were very friendly and informative, and they've served an awesome breakfast. The inn was absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend going there
Fantastic place. Just off the beaten path. The owner was there on site and very helpful in providing insight and ideas. Breakfasts were excellent. Highly recommended.
Fabulous stay, beautiful room, clean, comfortable bed, wonderful home cooked breakfast-blueberry pancakes. Walked into beautiful piano-playing. Great information given to us from owners. Can’t wait to come back!!
Abbott suite is large. No breakfast even though it's connected to inn. No place to hang clothes or suitcase racks.
Owner was helpful with ideas for sightseeing.
Joan and Dan were lovely. Dan played music in the afternoons during wine and cheese time. We got a good mix of wine/cheese by ourselves and a bit of socializing as well. Dan's voice is wonderful as he occasionally sings the songs he plays (piano is primary instrument).
We loved our stay at Chiltern and would return. Dan welcomed us with wine,cheese, and song. He was quite helpful directing us throughout town as well as on our hikes at Acadia.
Bar Harbor is a lovely town. We enjoyed the ocean side walk as well as lunch at The Terrace.
It was nice to meet the other travelers and enjoy breakfast
Only con for us was the heat in the bathroom. We also thought room would be cleaned as we stayed 2 nights but maybe that was a miscommunication.
We recomend staying here-walkable to town as well as moutain.
We loved our stay in the Abbott room, got to meet Dan our host who was lovely and gave us a tour of the property. Great place to stay and close to the downtown area, highly recommend!!
Enjoyed our breakfast and especially Joan and Dan’s hospitality and knowledge of the area. They helped us get the most out of our trip and visit to Acadia

Loved our stay!
Fabulous trip. The host was so knowledgeable of the area. Gave us great recommendations of what to see and do. We had a really wonderful vacation because of our stay here.
Beautiful inn, Joan and Dan were so kind and hospitable. It's a nice short walk to downtown Bar Harbor. And everything was super smooth while we were there. We especially loved the jacuzzi tub in our room!
Very beautiful, authentic Inn. Our stay was relaxing, and the innkeepers were so welcoming and accommodating. Even my husband said he wanted to book them again, and that's rare!
We had amazing stay at this B&B. The owner gives detailed info on roundabouts. The breakfast was so good we wanted to stay extra night. Really enjoyed the stay and want to come visit again.
