Enjoyable stay
We had such a lovely stay at this cozy B&B. A great base location to see the less busy and beautiful Schoodic Peninsula and points North East up the coast. Room was clean and comfortable. Gail, Jessica and Ryan were wonderful hosts and served delicious breakfasts that were well planned and presented well. They definitely put their hearts into making a memorable experience for their guests. Location across street from the lobster boat harbor and nearby lighthouse offer some quaint views and memorable sunrise, golden hour and blue hour photo ops.

Room with a view
Gail was very gracious and made us feel very welcome. We loved sitting on the porch with a view of the harbor. Our room was light and airy with a beautiful cross breeze. Very comfortable stay.

Loved this B&B. It was just what you picture a B&B in the north of Maine should be like. Cozy rooms with baths Floral wallpaper with overstuffed chairs.yet great cable and Wi-Fi. the big front porch with view of lobster boats in the harbor added ambience. Gail,the proprietor, was very attentive and knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast of blueberry pancakes or French toast with fresh whipped cream and strawberries was fabulous! We highly recommend this relaxing place.

Place was very nice. Hotel.com and expedia do not provide accurate location to Bar Harbor Maine. 9 miles across the bay with no bridge and no ferry. It is more like 44 miles and slightly over an hour drive to get to our 6 am drive up Cadillac mtn. Would appreciate hotel.com to provide accurate info on location and not as the crow flies.

Very relaxing in a small, quiet Maine harbor town. Perfect for seeing the coastal area around Prospect Harbor, north of the National Park, or truly Down East in the Maine sense.
