    They shaved my husky mix, he had long beautiful fur and they shaved him!
    Rose P.

    I don't really have words for how upset I am at this place. I've been taking my dog there for several months and it was never perfect but it was ok. My dog has beautiful long hair and every appointment I've stressed that I don't want it cut too short, they never seemed to be able to produce what my old groomer did or even the groomers at petsmart. So the last time I went I brought pictures of what I wanted, deeply expressed I didn't want it too short or shaved, I just don't understand what went wrong. When I came to pick him up they had shaved him. He has a double coat and it can be dangerous to cut their hair this short, they should have known better as "trained" dog groomers. And again I even showed them pictures, I just don't understand what in the world possessed them to shave a long hair beautiful dog.

    We have used this kennel for several years and have only good things to say. Heidi, the owner, and…read moreSteph, an experienced staff member, are knowledgeable, patient and obviously LOVE dogs. A few years back, during a heat wave, Heidi actually bought out the local WalMart of kiddie pools for the dogs! The dogs get indoor playtime in the gym. They get outdoor playtime, too. Heidi believes a tired-from-play dog is quieter and less anxious. How right she is. It is rare that we hear repetitive or deafening barking at this kennel. At other places ,the workers often don ear protection before going back to the cages. Their groomer recently gave our 2 dogs the best clips they've ever had. It's saying something when our dogs literally leap out of the back of my car and RUN into the kennel. (We used to have to drag them into Acadia Woods Kennel....that should have been a sign :-( ) Rather than having an adjustment period when our dogs return home, they are settled and normal: it's like they never left.

    I boarded my two cats in the largest cage, which is $32 dollar a day, that is what they told me…read more No one told me the price of the cage was $62 dollars a day if two cats were in one cage. Two week $896 dollars!!!!! I was already renting the cage, so I was charged for two large cages for two weeks. I called twice to talk to the owner, who was not there when I picked them up. No response, all you can leave is a message, and THEY DO NOT RETURN YOUR CALL! I feel this is bad business. BEWARE of their sneaky price gouging and not being up front with pricing. I will be spreading this news to all my friends with fur babies! Buyer Beware of these unrealistic prices!

    Our one kid/two puppy family gives Winter Harbor Inn an 11/10 because it's very clean, spacious,…read morecomfortable, and charming--a short walk from the grocery, restaurants, and historic downtown (cute, artsy, full of fishing boats). A dog-friendly, free shuttle will pick you up at the doorstep and take you around Schoodic Point (the prettiest part of Acadia National Park) and drop you back at the Inn after a hike. The backyard is fenced and has several outdoor seating areas where you can play fetch with Fido, sit by the fire, read a book in the hammock, or have a cookout (grill, wood, utensils, etc. provided) in a beautifully candle-lit setting. We also enjoyed playing board games with our 11 year old (they have hundreds!) one rainy night, how wonderful that our dogs could hang out in the room with us--Leisure Lee, especially, appreciated the dog bed provided. There's on site pet-sitting offered for an extra fee. But not with just anyone! Pam and Arnold are pet experts, breeders (pugs), groomers--they know animals inside/out and really spend time with them (long walks on the beach, playtime, feedings, etc.--they treat pets like people). We asked them to sit with our two puppies (bloodhound and boxer-mix--leather- chewing piranhas, really) from 6 am to 9 pm while we went into Bar Harbor for the day and when we returned Azy was in Pam's lap, and Leisure Lee was asleep, listening to music, by the fire--I don't know of any conventional hotel that offers pet-owners such peace of mind via this service. The breakfast--wow! Fresh fruit, yogurt, granola bars, organic oatmeal, bagels, cream cheese, wheat germ--you can eat healthy if you wish, but they also have pop tarts, kid-cereals, chocolate muffins, fancy creamers for coffee, all sorts of juices, unlimited pet treats and bottled waters. A family on a budget, we loved that we were able to place our own groceries, too, on the fridge shelf provided. That said, Three Sisters Café, down the road a ways, offered great deals on good food when we ate out, and the food stand in front of The Fisherman's Inn had inexpensive lobster rolls to die for. While there, we met an Italian couple, a family from Maine, and a retired librarian--all quiet, conscientious, interesting folks we loved meeting. But Pam and Arnold are the warm, whip-smart people (add to their pet-knowledge incomparable knowledge of fun things to do in the area) that really make the place into a one-of-a-kind, exceptional home away from home--they go way out of their way to make sure their guests are cared for, comfortable, and happy. We loved our trip here, and plan to go back, often.

    When my husband told me we were going to be staying here for the night, and I saw that they boarded…read moreanimals, I jokingly asked if we were going to be crated. Turns out, we almost were. We were "greeted" by Arnold, telling us that we had the best room in the house, and because the rest of the inn was booked, we were to stay in that room only. It had a tiny, up high window, was about 40 degrees for several hours until it heated up, there was no water, kettle, or SOAP! When we asked for soap and shampoo, we were told that they were not included. We also were told that there would be no breakfast or even coffee. We were there offseason, so nothing else was open, so we just stayed in that terrible, claustrophobic, freezing cold room with no water. It was the worst place that my husband and I remember ever staying.
