Sand Bar Cottage Inn

Everything! This place is fantastic.

I had been traveling solo throughout NE on a 10 week adventure. My stay at Sand Bar Cottage Inn was my last - and my best - accommodation experience of the entire trip. Yes, Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are wonderful. Yes, the Cottage Inn property and location are perfection. But, it was the Innkeeper, Chris Ruk, that made this stay one of my all-time my favorite vacation experiences. Ever! Chris is old school when it comes to service and hospitality; you feel immediately seen, valued and welcome. Chris also makes himself easily available to guests for questions, local recommendations, and just general good conversation. You never feel you are a bother, (as was my experience at another B&B in Maine). My only regret staying at Sand Bar Cottage Inn is that I wish I had reserved a longer stay! I was there for 4 days and 3 nights and I wish I had booked a week! It was such a joy-filled, fun, and peaceful experience, I didn’t want to leave. I will definitely be back to stay here again! Thank you Chris for such a beautiful experience and priceless memory! .

Rooms were spacious, bed was comfortable, everything was clean and quiet. Loved the breakfast and the kind staff. We enjoyed chatting with other guests. Location was excellent, don't miss the sand bar!

Location was nice.

The rooms were very small and the bathroom felt extremely cramped. The reception staff wasn’t particularly friendly, and interacting with them almost felt like an inconvenience.

Friendly, cosy and very welcoming. Fantastic breakfast

Short walk to shops and harbor. Acadia National Park is a short drive as well. Breakfast was outstanding and the afternoon tea and sweet snacks was a welcome surprise. Room was quiet, comfortable and clean. The entire house and fireplace was so relaxing. Our host - Chris was delightful and knew lots of history on the house and area. Our only advice would be to go before the 1st part of November as many places in the area close for the season.

Loved, loved, loved the entire four days we were lucky enough to be in Bar Harbor AND stay at the Sand Bar Cottage! The Cottage is adorable, clean, quiet (when needed to be) and an experience in and of itself! Chris is hospitable and a wealth of information, the food each morning was delicious and the snacks in the afternoon were a welcome delight. Do yourself a favor and stay at the Sand Bar Cottage.
