Guest Reviews
- Rob (8/5): - Nice staff
- Dana (6/5): - To be honest- everything was fine except the bed and pillows- worst bed ever
- TERRY (8/5): Cold night and great location - Room was very clean. Bed was dated but still comfortable. Shower was relatively small Heat was single electric radiator that at 38 degrees was needed though power went off that night when breakers tripped.. Nice staff and great location
- Jon (8/5): - This was a nice place to stay.
- Lori (10/5): - Away from the hustle and bustle of busy tourist spots. Lacking amenities as it is an older building with very comfortable and clean accommodations. No hair dryer and minimal lighting and plug ins, but so worth the location and comfort. The market has the best prices lobster meals. Check the hours of the store before arriving as we missed out on that benefit. Would love to return!
- Ester (10/5): - Room was quaint, staff was friendly. Nice continental breakfast.
- Steven (10/5): - Miss Evelyn and Miss Dan were outstanding hosts. They have been in the area for a while and they know all the nice little quiet spots to visit and beat the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor.
- Donna (10/5): - Was close to Bar Harbor and Acadia park
- Nikayla (10/5): - The absolute cutest place ever and great location
- Sarah (10/5): - Quaint, cozy and warm. Lived Nanny at the sun porch breakfast spot. After camping a few days, this place was a respite and a delight. Our room smelled so clean! Definitely coming back next year!
- Tyler (10/5): - Great love it
- Max (10/5): - Great location. Not full of tourists like other places near the town. Otter Creek is a great middle ground and just a short drive from everything Acadia has to offer. Would come again!
- Jennifer (10/5): ✓✓✓✓✓ - Perfect quiet spot but close to everything. Only 6 rooms. Wonder staff. No phone. Yes tv. 10 min to Bar Harbor downtown. 5 minutes to closest park entrance. Loved it all. Will be back
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This nostalgic inn was the perfect place to stay for our trip to Acadia with our pup. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the continental breakfast was appreciated, and the store next door with the delicious clam chowder rounded out the experience.
- Svetlana (10/5): - We stayed at Otter Creek Inn for 3 nights while visiting Acadia National Park. The inn was clean, quiet, and comfortable, with an easy check-in process. Breakfast was a nice plus, and the location made it convenient for exploring the park. Acadia itself was absolutely beautiful, and this was a good base for our trip.
- Roger (10/5): - Staff were friendly and helpful. We will stay there again.
- hillary (10/5): Perfect little getaway - Our girl's trip brought us to this adorable Inn for 3 nights. This is obviously an older building, but it has so much charm! There was comfortable wicker furniture with cushions outside our door so we could enjoy the patio in the evening. The hotel also has a market that you can walk to that serves an AMAZING lobster mac & cheese! They also do fresh, steamed lobster dinners on demand for much cheaper than you will pay in Bar Harbor. The free continental breakfast included fresh baked muffins and a wide variety of flavored coffee creamers. This is a very rural area, but this inn is a quick 15 minute drive to Bar Harbor, or a 5 minute drive to Seal Harbor. My only complaint was that the room was a little stuffy at night (even with fans) because it was lacking A/C. But, I do know that the temperature was way hotter than normal during our visit. I am sure this is a very comfortable room in normal weather. Overall, we had a wonderful stay!
- Ilana (10/5): - This is a homey, sweet, accessible inn at Acadia. There is also a market as part of the premises for those things one needs to camp, hike, general recreation. BTW the included continental breakfast muffins are delicious!!!
- Brandi (10/5): - Lovely, quiet cottage. Staff is very kind and the rooms were very clean.
- Karisa (10/5): Highly Recommend the Otter Creek Inn! - It was a nice enjoyable stay. Dawn was very helpful and responsive! Delicious peaches
- Ruth (8/5): - It was clean, the bed was comfortable and the hosts were kind. The setting was quiet and private. I felt safe.
- Hammad (10/5): - Amazing location, only a few minutes drive from various points inside Acadia National Park.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Quaint place to stay. - The Inn was cute and cozy, very home-like. Homemade muffins were great for breakfast. My only complaint was the beds are old innerspring mattresses. They were not the most comfortable to sleep on. There was no microwave or AC, but we were cool enough with fans.
- Aizzat Emir (10/5): - great stay
- Steven (8/5): - Nice little place, we enjoyed our stay, convenient location & easy to get to. Small shower but you could get the job done, the beds could use an upgrade on the mattress but it wasn’t a deal breaker, breakfast was more than adequate to get you to lunch, I myself enjoyed it, will definitely be back to spend more time at Otter Creek!!!!!!
- Richard (8/5): - Clean, quiet property in a convenient location away from the crowds in Bar Harbor but convenient to everywhere. I wish the room had A/C since it was July. The mattress is very very soft.
- Karolina (10/5): - Very cozy , great atmosphere, very friendly staff and any requests taken care right away . Clean and comfortable. Close to trail , leading into park.great recommendations for local food / attractions
- Karan (10/5): - The property is a small 8-10 mins drive from Bar Harbor Downtown and very clean and quiet place
- Paul (10/5): - A wonderful experience. Rooms were well kept. The continental breakfast was fine. The staff was helpful and informative in giving suggestions for sites and activities. If we go to Acadia and Bar Harbor again, Otter Creek Inn will be our first choice for a place to stay.
- David (10/5): - What a cute mountainside place. Loved to hometown feel and friendly staff. The market next door(which belongs to hotel) is great- has everything including whole, fresh lobsters that they will cook for you!
- timothy (10/5): - Nanny and Dawn are wonderful Hosts
- Kristi (10/5): - Dawn was sweet and helpful, the room was clean, and there was a shop next door for all of your adventure needs. I will recommend to any friends or family coming to the area, we will definitely be back! Also amazing views just 10 minutes away. Say hi to Jimmy Wiggles for us.
- Jillian (10/5): - Wonderful place
- Charles P. (10/5): - Great staff
- Arthur (8/5): - Lovely little inn, quiet and clean. Good continental breakfast was good and conversation with the front store ladies was very nice.
- Ruth (10/5): - Wonderful stay. Loved the adjoining market with blueberry muffins at breakfast and lobster lunch.
- john (8/5): - Great location
- Dawn (10/5): - Delightful place to stay for a visit to Acadia national Park.
- KARLA (10/5): - Great place to stay near Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park! Amazing for families and picnics! Breakfast was really good! Blueberry muffins and the blueberry jelly from Maine so delicious with a warm croissant!!! I would live there the rest of my life
- Peter (10/5): - Our room was large, very comfortable and quiet. There is no restaurant nearby but you can buy simple but good food in the market until 6 or 7 PM. The continental breakfast was decent. Compared to accommodations elsewhere, the Otter Creek Inn is expensive but by Acadia standards, it is reasonable. We would be happy to return.
- Jason (10/5): - Loved this cute inn. And the people were so sweet. Great service! Order the lobster dinner and clam chowder!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Heart of Acadia - Charming and well kept inn with easy access to several Acadia NP trails. Beautiful views of the mountains, and nearby market has a good selection and lobster menu
- Asher (8/5): - We had a nice stay at Otter Creek Inn. The room was comfortable enough, the outside area was lovely, and breakfast was good. However, the bathroom could use some maintenance - the door to our bathroom did not close, and the squishy bathtub mat didn't feel very hygienic.
- Ginny (6/5): - Nannie was welcoming and very pleasant to speak with!
- Martin (10/5): - Great place. I recommend.
- Charles (8/5): - Good for short stay
- qing (10/5): - Perfect location. Very clean and well maintained. Grocery store right beside the building. Breakfast has the best muffin I have ever had.
- Jakob (10/5): - Whata hidden Gem in the Bar Harbor...this place is out of the Country Home Magazine...the breakfast was good...and at the market they have a hot meal...i would recommend this to anyone
- Kristin (10/5): - Staff was very hospitable and friendly
- Darrin (6/5): family trip - I hate to leave bad reviews for small privately owned buisneses, but this was a tough one. upon arriving at the property we were not greated by a person even though the owners were on premise. I had to call them for check in information, they never came out to say welcome or anything. This was not a huge issue. The place is cute on the outside and the area is beautiful as we knew it would be. Now once inside the first thing we noticed was the huge gap all arounfd the door almost a 1" gap along the bottom of the front door that led directly to the outside. large enough for mice, rats to get in. we contacted the owner for some extra towels to wedge under the door and when the lady arrived with the towels she was very put and not vey happy at all. The ceiling fan was covered with so much dust we were afraid to use it. Beds were terribly uncomfortable and tiny. The shower was about the size of a shower in a small boat or travel trailer. I could not bend over in it. We were really excited about this place until we checked in. This place could be really nice with a little work, maintenance and cleaning, but as is I would not stay here again.
- Sean (10/5): Had a great stay. - I’m sure not many head up to Bar Harbor and plan on watching a lot of TV but that was all I had a problem with. Had to go into town for Thursday night football, which is a super short drive. Add a smart tv to go along with great Wi-Fi and it’s perfect. Great location at a great price. Thanks!
- Renee (6/5): Price was good, but repairs needed. - Door was very difficult to close, instructions for getting in the room were not clear, old sheets wouldn't stay on the bed, shower was nearly impossible to get a usable temperature.
- Eileen (10/5): - The property was an older hotel but quaint. We enjoyed sitting with the staff at breakfast and had great conversations they also made fresh blueberry and cranberry muffins. Wow!! they were a great staff. IF YOU NEED A HAIR DRYER FOR A MORNING SHOWER JUST ASK THE NIGHT BEFORE YOU GO TO BED!!
- Jeanne (4/5): - Staff was not helpful. Way overpriced! Room was pretty dated.
- Susanna C. (10/5): - Quaint and charming. Clean.
- Christopher (10/5): - The staff at this location were welcoming and incredibly helpful. We would definitely stay here again if the situation presented itself. Quick and easy access to Acadia!
- Andrew (10/5): - Liked: the blueberry muffins and the clam chowder
- Donna (10/5): - Good value
- Jacqui (6/5): - Check-in staff were friendly. The room was clean and tidy, but the blinds need to be replaced or repaired as one would not close completely and the one over the door did not cover the whole opening. I was concerned that someone could look right into the bed.
- Gillian (10/5): - This property was within 30 mins max of several spots in Acadia National park. It’s quaint and lovely! Having the market next store is very convenient, and Dawn is very kind!! Enjoyed our stay very much!
- Sherrie (4/5): - You had to check in through a market next door, there was no AC as advertised. And it didn’t feel clean. There’s no late check in after 8pm bc there’s no one at the market
- Cynthia (8/5): - Nice room, close to loop road entrance and quiet.
- Jessica (10/5): - Nestled in the heart of Desert Island with great hiking trails and mountain views a short distance away this was a perfect place to stay. My husband and I ran the National Acadia Half Marathon in the morning and it was a short distance from the race location. The staff were very personable and professional and the room was clean. The property was well taken care of and landscaped with attractive flowers and picnic areas.
- Lisa (10/5): - Nice and quiet. Away from the chaos of Bar Harbor but close to the activities we wanted to do.
- Gerry (8/5): - Very friendly and the breakfast options were amazing. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
- Qing (10/5): - Excellent location for visiting Acadia National park. There is a nearby short cut road go to the park loop and saved us lots of time driving one way loop. The room is clean and comfortable. The breakfast is good too. We enjoyed our stay.
- Robin (8/5): - Nice place. great breakfast. Needs some paint and yard clean up.
- Jenny (8/5): - Very cute and clean
- Katy (10/5): - This property reminded me of childhood summers in a cottage on Lake Michigan, even to the squeaky screen doors! It is an our of the way spot, not crowded. It is clean and quaint. They have done a great job modernizing on old in while keeping its charm. We even ordered lobster dinners from the adjacent Otter Creek Grocery, which was fairly priced and very tasty. We also ate a complimentary, continental breakfast each morning at the grocery, and they provided wood for a firepit one evening, too. Our only negative was that, due to its age (and the fact that it's a cottage), walks at thin and we could hear our neighbors. Fortunately, the other guests were older like ourselves and more inclined to go to sleep than to party all night! We would stay here again on a future trip.
- maria (10/5): - beautiful place, thank you.
- katherine (2/5): DONT DO IT - THE worst!!! Window and door air only which seemed dangerous to me. Conditions were horrible and I tried to cancel 4 times. NO ONE answered.
- Paul (8/5): - Checked in late; market was closed but overall ok
- Crystal (10/5): Quaint and comfy Inn - Hotels.com overbooked and we did not have a room. Call first to make sure with the Inn. Fortunately there was a cabin not booked so the owner was so gracious to put us in there at no extra charge. I loved the cabin. Clean, comfortable bed. Small kitchen. Fire ring and free firewood in front of the cabin. Continental breakfast. Ask for her homemade muffins! Wonderful host. We will be staying here next time we visit Acadia. Clam chowder was delicious. Lobster purchase and cooked on site at store. Good prices, less commercialized.
- Michael (10/5): - We absolutely loved symraying here. Incredible location!!
- Timothy (10/5): Peace with a view - This stay was just what we needed after a week at Universal in Orlando with family. A comfortable room, excellent service, and a great location out of town but still in easy reach of the National Park. We enjoyed the free breakfast outside, taking in the scenery.
- Robert (10/5): - Charming and far from the Bar Harbor madness and pretentiousness
- Lillian (10/5): - Perfect place to stay!!
- David Robert (8/5): - Property was close to Acadia Attractions.
- Kathleen (10/5): - Casual and quaint. Nice continental breakfast with freshly baked muffins included. Lobster dishes available also and sandwiches ready to go.
- Alona (10/5): Overnight stay Otter Creek Inn - The place is old but everything that you need is there. No frills , No AC bit the room we stayed at has new carpet, painted, new beddings, and its clean. The lady in the cafe is very accommodating. She makes fresh pot of coffee every time. She is a sweetheart. If you are just looking for a place but not is fancy, I highly recommend it.
- Marc (10/5): - Great place to stay
- Martha (8/5): - Beautiful place wonderful lobster !
- Madison (10/5): - This property is very picturesque and located a convenient distance from downtown Bar Harbor. We did not meet the proprietors but there was an easy-to-use late check-in system. Our room was regionally themed and very comfortable (no A.C., only a heater), and the shower was a small style. The property also features a market, which we are excited to check out the next time we stay here!
- FRANCES (10/5): - It's a lovely quiet place. Soich better than the crowds in Bar Harbor. We loved it!!
- Elizabeth (10/5): Otter Creek - Great location! Convenient, friendly, quaint
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff was exceptional
