Wow. Joan and Dan are fanulous hosts. They know so much about the surrounding area. And the breakfasts are some of the best we have ever eaten.

Dan and Joan were amazing host.

Very attractive inn with friendly and helpful innkeepers. Great breakfasts, too! Within walking distance of downtown Bar Harbor along the Shore Path, which is a lovely walk.

North apartment is located in back of house.. not recommended .. boiler is also located in apartment.. outside patio furniture is used for kitchen chairs...

First, it must be said that the innkeepers, Joan and Dan were lovely, unfortunately, that's where it ends. Our first impression was the rusted patio furniture and unkempt gardens. Upon walking through the front door the musty smell was only matched by the pungent scent of dog urine which pervaded the area that passes for a lobby. Stained carpeting, cracked walls, and protruding wires continued the effect. There was a particularly grotesque stain around the piano. Our room was just tired. Again, cracked walls, peeling wallpaper in the bathroom, a carpet that though clean was way past its service life. Furniture was generally nice, but the bedspreads, chairs, pillows, and sheets were just old. Time to refresh! The bathroom screen had holes in it - these were repaired when we mentioned it to the hostess. Finishings in the bathroom such as molding, baseboard heater, soap dishes etc way past their prime. The view of the "garden" from our bedroom revealed another untended, dying patch of nothing. In an area where other B&Bs had lovely gardens, the state of these grounds was just depressing. The social areas had great potential but everything was just tired, worn down, and uninviting because they were way past the time when they could have been perked up Hugely disappointing.

This has been ones of the most impressive places we have ever stayed. Every detail is thought about from the grapes and cheese on arrival to the melon cut into a flower for breakfast. The rooms are comfortable, the decor is beautiful and close to downtown. The hosts are fun and helpful. Loved it!
