Barters Island Vacation Packages

Adjacent to the Penny Lake Preserve.

Good for families and dogs. Not quiet. Fine basic hotel-- remodeling helps.

It was very hands off-- you go, retrieve your key from the lock box and let yourself in. But it is a gorgeous old building built like a fancy plantation - castle, in the middle of a small coastal town in pristine Maine, with a pool and a fitness center. I didn't realize it at first, but my room had a hallway to another living room area, with a balcony to sit and watch the sunrise from. Wow! Yeah, it's a great place.

We had a nice stay here, the staff was exceptional. The entrance and lobby of the hotel are beautiful, but you quickly travel back in time when you enter the hallways and rooms. Everything was very clean, just a little outdated (bathrooms in particular). Walls are thin, we could hear our neighbors late night conversation and phone vibrating on the nightstand. Gym was nice, as well as the steam room and sauna. Grounds are pretty, there is a small hiking trail in the back. Located about 15-20 minutes drive to some great restaurants. Overall I would recommend.

The dining room closed at 8 pm, a little early for our taste. The layout of the hotel included very long corridors, which would have been a problem for anyone with mobility issues.
