This is such a quaint inn, with clean large rooms, free breakfast and a great common area. The inn keeper was so welcoming and attentive, yet chill, so we felt really comfortable there.

This was our first time staying at a bed & breakfast and honestly, we absolutely loved our stay! The place was very convenient in terms of the location as there were many places walking distance for food options. We were also greeted by Cheryl upon checking in and she gave us a quick tour of the place to get familiarized. She was very welcoming and a great host. I think if it weren’t for her, it wouldn’t have been as cozy and charming. The room we stayed was very cozy and spacious enough for us. It even had its own chimney/fireplace for which we were able to use the first night and light up a log that they had placed for us. The beds were pretty comfortable and it felt as if we were staying at a family’s home of how cozy it was. My favorite part of the stay was waking up each day around 8 am to the smell of breakfast. It smelled so good all the way up to the room and it was just delightful being able to wake up to fresh, home made breakfast. They served two options of breakfast each day from 8-9:30am. The food was delicious and honestly made our stay much better. Their coffee was amazing as well. We really could’ve sat enough about this place and would return in a heartbeat.

Cheryl was a wonderful host, great recommendations on things to do and places to eat. In off season outside of Bar Harbor many places are closed. Elmhurst is easy walk to great restaurants, favorites were Brassiere Le Brun and Havana. Also the Abbe Museum (10 min walk from Elmhurst) is a world class museum which explores the history and culture of the Wabanaki, Maine's native people.
