"Great place to stay! Very clean! Bed is comfortable. Coffee cakes for breakfast were yummy. Close to Bar Harbor. The only thing: when you book, let them know if you have any limitations that may affect your ability to use stairs to get to the second or third floor. They do not have an elevator. Other than that we were super pleased with our stay and most definitely come back!"
