We enjoyed our stay at the Inn on Mt Desert in September 2025-we booked late in the season and they had a vacancy. We stayed in the Beehive right behind the kitchen overlooking the parking lot. We liked being on the lobby floor, felt like the front porch rocking chair area was ours and we got to know Connor and staff well- which was very nice! We would choose a better view next time, but other than that- room was spacious and bed was comfy. Shower is tight. The grounds are beautiful with gardens and fire pit, but seem like a wasted space tucked in the back, not sure what can be done with this area but it has great potential. We enjoyed getting text alerts inviting us to the live music/cocktails at the sister property on Cottage St but we were busy and never went. The breakfasts included with the room were a highlight of staying at the Inn. There were 2 choices daily that were always gourmet and artistic- kudos to their wonderful kitchen chefs! My fav were the blueberry pancakes but the mushroom omelette focaccia was a close 2nd. There is always the bagel, English muffin, fruit, muffins and cookies as well. Tea selection was stellar and the fresh brewed coffees had a coconut version that we loved/ we were excited to find it for sale in town as a local coffee. Overall- the Inn is homey, comfy, clean and friendly. It is a little walk to the hopping parts of town but not bad and we always found parking when we drove in- but it’s not peak season so things were generallycalm.
