We loved it! And the blueberry french toast was to die for! The best thing we ate on our trip besides lobster. The hosts were very accommodating to our late arrival and even called me to get our breakfast order while we were on a whale watching trip! That's service!

The Inn has a charming atmosphere both inside and out and very helpful staff. Erik helped orient us and provided us some excellent recommendations for meals and how to best navigate Acadia. The food was delicious and the servings were large. The Inn itself is a short walk to Main Street and the water, while a few blocks away from the huddle bustle, making it the perfect place to stay. Overall very high marks for them. I’d highly recommend this place for your stay in Bar Harbor.

Nice Inn on a busy street. Short walk to Main Street. Exterior is beautifully landscaped and a nice front porch. Our room was a bit small, but very clean and comfy. Hosts are busy but helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious.

Nice location and excellent breakfast. Rooms don't look like photo on website. Room was small and Victorian feel and bed not comfortable. Fortunately we didn't spend time in room. Breakfast was the highlight prepared by a former chef. Just wish coffee was stronger/better prepared but they did have a Keurig machine as alternative.

Had the best stay at the Holbrook house. Eric and Michelle were super accommodating when checking in. We looked forward to each morning with Michelle’s breakfasts. The place was clean and tidy and had its own country/bay side charm. They definitely make you feel right at home. The house was walking distance from bar island and Frenchman bay and all the downtown restaurants and shops. Eric was very helpful and knowledgeable on where to go. Would definitely recommend Holbrook house to anyone that is planning on visiting Bar Harbor.

My wife and I liked the feel/ambience of this BnB. Although on the main road to Bar Harbor proper, it was quiet yet easily accessible via a 10-min walk to shops, restaurants, and the shore walk. Adjacent to Acadia Natl Park, this is also a great base from which to explore all the park has to offer. Our room was clean, if basic (i.e., no tv or other hotel-like amenities), but we did not miss anything. The outstanding feature was the breakfast--first rate in every way and so filling/nourishing that we could skip lunch. Highly recommend for a 2-3 day stay.

This is a wonderful place from which to explore Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor! The B&B is clean and comfortable, and it has a lovely porch and backyard if you want to spend a little time relaxing outdoors. The hosts are warm and welcoming and have great suggestions for dining throughout Bar Harbor (our two best meals were Eric’s recommendations). My partner and I wanted to spend long days hiking in the park, and we greatly appreciated the takeaway breakfast options—they were delicious and incredibly convenient for us. Based on the quality of the takeaway breakfast and the lovely treats they set out in the afternoon, I have no doubt that the full breakfast is amazing! The inn is just a short walk from the main Bar Harbor area, which means you get a little reprieve from the noise while still having access to all the restaurants and shops. We couldn’t have asked for more, and we’d absolutely stay here again if we return!
