My stay at the inn was absolutely delightful! I loved the homemade muffins at breakfast—they were such a treat and really added a personal touch to my mornings. The highlight for me was the cozy atmosphere stemming from the charming antique furnishings and the inviting outdoor relaxation areas. It was great to be away from the bustling crowds yet still only a short drive to local attractions. However, while the access to Acadia National Park was fantastic, the nearby dining options were quite limited.

I had a delightful stay at this charming inn. The homemade muffins served at breakfast truly elevated my mornings, and the cozy rooms made for a relaxing retreat. I loved the tranquil setting away from the hustle and bustle, while still being just a short drive from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The only downside was that while the amenities were lovely, I felt that the communal areas could have been slightly larger to accommodate more guests comfortably.
