Horrible place!!!!! For $500 a night, this is what we got.. Cabin was 12A.. now if you look at the…read more12A photos they post, they look nothing like this pathetic dump. From peeling paint to stained curtains that look like they were salvaged from a Goodwill to the crack between the wall and window (great for cold rainy nights, huh) this was at best, a movie set for a movie about seedy flea bag motels. The "kitchenette" was a small dorm unit with a coffee maker and toaster on top. The room barely had space for a double bed. We left after 10 minutes and booked another Airbnb which was spectacular. When we contacted the owner we were told 12A was one of the non renovated units but they could move us to a better one. WTF? So they had decent accommodations but chose to stick us in this dump? If you don't believe me look at the photos of 12A they post s mine from last night... Stay away!

The cottage is pretty run down。 They have a very crappy screen door with sharp metal edges sticking…read moreout. You always get scratched hurt every time you try to open or close the door. The girl in the office is very mean. They don't have basic needs equipment. Even garbage bags you have to ask for it. You don't feel like you are welcomed here. Of 23 cottages available, they have 6, 7 rented out during the busiest season. My guess is that people rent here because everywhere else is full even though the town has a lot of accommodations. I would not recommend this place. The whole feel is the place is pretty dirty, not meet most people's cleaning standard。 The owner hired some temporary foreigners to come to do the job. It is not supervised well. Next trip, we will try to book a real motel or hotel early. So we don't have to stay in this crappy cottage.

What a beautiful way to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary!…read more The Bayview Hotel provided us with a room overlooking Frenchman Bay. We enjoyed sunrise views 3/4 mornings. (The 4th one was from Cadillac Summit.) Our room was spacious with one of the most comfortable comforters I've felt. We had a keurig machine, microwave, and mini fridge in our room. Appreciated the heater in the bathroom. Loved being greeted by the geese family on property in the morning and afternoon just outside our balcony. Our balcony had a couple of chairs with a table. We noticed the room beside us had a couch and bar stools in their balcony. While our balcony had cobwebs in every ceiling corner (lots of spiders on the railing), we were still able to enjoy the majestic sunrise views. They serve a continental breakfast every morning at 0700. Mid-day they serve charcuterie, cookies, fruits with refreshing infused water, tea&coffee. By far this was the most serene accommodation we've had. Calm and peaceful. They provide Adirondack chairs overlooking the bay. Friendly staff~ Brad at the front desk was kind in printing our Cadillac Sunrise pass for us & greeted us every time we passed the front desk. The hotel is less than 8 minutes from the Waterfront and about 10 min to Acadia National park depending on which entrance you use. All in all would return and recommend.

The room was beautiful and spacious. The bed was also very comfortable. We stayed in one of the peak king rooms with a beautiful view of the ocean. Highly recommend booking one of these rooms. We were not able to get tickets to see the sunrise, but we were able to see one from our balcony. We also enjoyed a delicious cup of coffee out there one quiet morning. The breakfast was very good with many options to have before heading out for the day. All of the egg dishes were outstanding. They also have a shuttle service that you can take if you want to go out for dinner in town. This was our first time to Bar Harbor and Bayview but it won't be our last.

Large rooms with a couch, multiple recliners, and stove to enjoy a fire. The views were beautiful! This place was clean with a lovely fully equipped kitchen and renovated bathrooms. The staff were super friendly. The owners loaned us pots to boil our lobster that were freshly caught by the locals. Enjoyed the sunset. Visited nearby Acadia NP. Still family owned, 1 of only 3 in the area. Our family has decided this is the best place we have ever stayed and we have traveled extensively.

David made us very welcome when we arrived and gave us the orientation talk on the island, giving us a couple of local newspapers and marking down worthwhile sights on the maps before showing us to our 'cottage'. I'd actually describe the cottage as more of a beach hut (we had one of the smaller ones), but it had everything in it and was only a few yards from the water's edge with great views over Salisbury Cove. There was a porch with chairs and table where you could sit and watch the sunset. Very pleasant. Inside, the cottage was scrupulously clean, there is a small kitchen area with stove and coffee maker etc. if you wanted to eat in. It could have done with an electric kettle to make tea with, although you could use the coffee maker to boil water I guess. There's a small heater in the wall that we used a few times as we had a couple of rainy days during our stay. Best of all was the shower - great water pressure and piping hot. A great start to the morning. Followed by a cup of complementary coffee from reception, we were all set to go and explore. So thanks to David and Jayne - we really enjoyed our few days here and would gladly return in future.

My partner and I stayed here when we attended a friend's wedding in late August. The place is…read morecharming, quaint and inviting. There's so much character and thought placed into designing every nook and cranny of this Inn. The front desk lady was very friendly and accommodating. Our room was quite small - barely fitting a queen size bed in the room, leaving minimal walking space. Our bathroom was also very small. It had a toilet, a small sink, and a very narrow shower. We didn't mind the size of the room because we spent most of our time hiking around Acadia. The staff at Maples Inn was very kind and shared some of their favorite hikes and their tips and tricks into finding the best experiences. The lobby also has a few snacks that are perfect grab and go for the trails. Their breakfast is also tasty, delicious and cooked on order! One thing to note is that they have 2 small, gravel parking spots on either side of the inn. They will also provide a parking permit for your car that will cover street parking during the dates of your stay at the inn. During peak season, I can only imagine how hard it must be to find parking nearby though.

It has old school charms but also modern conveniences. First off, the location: unless you snag an oceanfront room at one of the most expensive hotels in town, you really can't do any better. And aside from view, I'd argue that Central House IS better, being walkable to the shops, the three best breakfast places in town, and some of the better restaurants. Inside, you get an antique look along with air conditioning and a TV set. The room and bathroom are clean. The bed is comfortable. There's a porch with rockers, a common kitchen (no breakfast, but that's right down the street), and a really cool common setting room with its own library. Parking is no problem. The manager is very friendly. Prices change with the season, but I found the value to be very good. My wife and I would easily stay here again.

This was a true B&B, which a charming residential atmosphere, off-street parking (important in this town), and daily breakfast.

Fresh fruit, pastries, and various beverages were also available throughout the day. Wifi was a little spotty. I managed to get in some telework okay, but this does not strike me as a place where most people will want to spent a ton of time on the internet.
