We had a great stay and could not recommend this Inn more! It was so cute, well maintained with super cozy bed/bedding, a welcoming and comfortable common area and delicious breakfast. The staff are very friendly and though we only stayed one night it was wonderful and we hope to be back again!

I would stay there again for sure.
Delightful. Unusually good breakfasts. Great location for a Bar Harbor visit. Close to but not in the heavy traffic business district.

Lovely stay in the quiet season.
Our stay at The Inn on Mount Desert was lovely. It is beautifully decorated, comfortable and the staff is helpful and friendly. The included breakfast was made to order from the days selections and the blueberry pancakes were delicious. The inn is within walking distance to many restaurants and the waterfront. We will be back!

Best stay ever
I’ve never felt so good about a hotel before. Nothing but good things to say. The only bad thing was I never wanted to leave the room because the bed was so comfortable. The staff was so sweet. My girlfriend and i have been traveling a lot, and have had a lot of hotels but by far this was the best one we’ve ever stayed at and would 100% come here every time we come back to bar harbor. Instead of room numbers they have the names of ponds, Overall very quiet, with a game room, super fancy breakfast, etc. if this place had a pool i’d move in honestly.

Staff was very hospitable, accommodating, and friendly! The inn itself was “so cute” (as my girlfriend said every time we came back to it from town). Location is perfect for walking downtown.
