My stay at the bed and breakfast was nothing short of perfect! The room was impeccably clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated, offering the ideal blend of comfort and charm. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, featuring a delightful spread of fresh, homemade dishes that left me eager for the next morning. Nestled in a quiet and picturesque location, it provided a peaceful retreat with stunning views, making it a truly memorable experience. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone seeking relaxation and top-notch hospitality!

I can't recommend this place enough. Close to Arcadia, short walk to downtown, fantastic breakfast -- and everyone we met here (working or staying) were absolutely fabulous. We already are thinking about our next trip and will definitely plan to say here again when we are in Bar Harbor.

Love Bar Harbor and the Elmhurst Inn
The Elmhurst Inn is a wonderful, quiet B&B with a great location. The grounds are nice with Adirondack changes for relaxing outdoors. The breakfast was very good everyday. It is an easy walk to downtown. We would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Great bed and breakfast. Feels like you’re walking into the past with all the historical furniture but with all the modern convenience. Breakfast was phenomenal as other comments have stated. All day coffee and afternoon refreshments were a plus after getting back from some long hikes. The host was very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely come back. If your looking for a great dinner close by “the project social” was our favorite

Excellent, charming, easy place to stay. The host was welcoming and shared many local recs. Walkable to all in Bar Harbor, we did Acadia without a car and able to do it from this location. Very cute and would stay again. Excellent breakfast too! Made special changes for gluten free breakfast too.
