Wonderful experience. The room was very clean and looked lovely. Staff was helpful. Liked it so much we stayed an extra night!
Donna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Value for the money. It’s not five-star, not even 4, but it suited our need for a 3-night stay, and it is worth the savings compared to other rentals in the area. It is close to everything in Bar Harbor, all within short driving distance. Staff are friendly and very helpful.

Nice location. VERY small room. NO vanity space at all - just the sink!! Could use renovation!

David was amazing! Very helpful with information around the area and checked in with us daily to make sure we were good to go. Hopefully we’ll see him again next season.
View from our room.
Heather, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Quiet, with a beautiful view, but an older property with aging facilities. Room needed airing out, smelled a little musty. No breakfast service on site. Kind of expensive for what we got.
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

it is convenient to Acadia national park

Great little inn at bridge to Mount Desert

Great little no frills Inn close to Acadia. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and quiet and the property sounding the area was pretty cute with the tide coming right up to the property.
Logan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property is fine for sleeping, a microwave in room would be a nice addition.Alai the website shows a cute white picnic table by the waterway, it's the only picnic table on site and now weathered and gray, which you could be ok with, but there is also an environmental fence that's been there since 2017... So please update the site for accuracy.

shun, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Property does not offer maids service. Room isn't made nor towels are changed if you stay more than one night. We stayed 2 nights, trash wasn't emptied. Room smelled. For a price of over $200 per night , we expected a min service.
Jacob, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quite still water front location
Ranjan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not luxurious but definitely clean and comfortable. Reasonably priced and very friendly staff. Two very good restaurants within walking distance.
Janet F., 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property was very conveniently located for our requirements. We were able to easily access Acadia National Park and many local food options. The room was very clean. Would highly recommend.
Kathy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good motel except bathroom is too small.
Xin, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Nothing to write home about, but good for the price. Met my expectations, and I didn't feel the need to flee and go elsewhere for the night. No sign of bed bugs as mentioned in Google reviews. Staff was friendly.
Lyndsay, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Affordable Older hotel with a great view on the water. Easy 20 minute drive into Bar Harbor. A couple restaurants across the street. Very clean. Beds and pillows excellent.
