Beautiful property. We stayed in a cabin. Close to the Schoodic part of Arcadia National Park. Really great restaurants nearby. The continental breakfast was ok. I would bring some food next time. We enjoyed our visit and would stay here again.

Fantastic place to stay. Amazing sunsets, an outdoor patio to eat breakfast & look at the water. We went to Acadia/Bar Harbor in the morning & it was about an hour drive. Left 6:30 & the park was pretty empty until 11 am. 2nd day explored Schoodic part of Acadia (down the road/close by). Great continental breakfast. I would definitely stay here again!

My dog and I had a lovely few days here! They had great communication which made “check in/out” stress free. Definitely felt like a home away from home. They were also thoughtful enough to provide send suggestions for things to do and places to eat! Would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful cabin. View from the cabin is breathtaking. If you want to avoid all touristy crowd from Main Street and relax and unwind, this is your place. Stuff are good. Breakfast is a plus. Only downside is the distance from bar harbor town. If you won’t mind driving an hour, this place is highly recommended.

We enjoyed our stay and the spectacular views. The cabin was cozy and well kept. The staff was very responsive and polite. My suggestions would be for a small microwave (couldn't reheat leftovers), comfortable chair inside the cabin and maybe an inside door lock to secure the door. Enjoyed Bar Harbor and small venues locally.

Beautiful quiet location close to the area of Acadia we wanted to visit. I was unable to use my chair at dining table. There was bolt missing. I reported it and didn’t worry about it since short trip. But the noticed my husband chair was also missing bolt. Not major deal but found it odd that both chairs were not secure for usage.

Overall it was a good experience. This is a place to disconnect, unplug and be still after a day of not being still. Staff is only there during breakfast hours. Which led to guests having to explain to the newcomers the check in process. Which is basically cause people just don't read. One guy deleted every text thinking it was spam. Continental breakfast.The family style of everyone and their children touching communal butter, cream cheese, pb and jelly was a little off-putting. Be aware that there are no room TVs. The provided toiletries are in the form of a 3 in 1 soap. You will need to climb stairs with very small and deep steps of you stay in the inn. Grocery stores are not nearby, so come prepared.. If you drive by Ellsworth... That's where you need to stop. The view is amazing and everyone was nice. Plenty of space to just sit and enjoy the view. I stayed in the inn rooms not the cabins.
