    Breakfast
    Becky T.

    We were amazed at this little Inn! The room was charming and clean, extra towels, make up wipes, and extra coffee. The breakfast, WOW! Each morning we got to choose from 2 breakfast choices made fresh with fresh fruit on the side. Coffee and juice with beagles and toast, fruit, cereal. Just over the top. I went to the lobby in the afternoon and found cookies and muffins for the guests. Small touches throughout the Inn included: umbrellas by the door, a workout room, staff that would accommodate any question or need, interesting art hanging around the inn, not to mention the beautiful garden and just minutes from Acadia. A perfect place to stay in Bar Harbor!

    Back of Inn at night.

    Was unsure when I booked because I did not know the area. Could not have been more pleased! Staff was so kind and helpful. Beds were unbelievably comfortable. Breakfast was great every morning. Every evening we sat by the fire pit with a bottle of wine surrounded by a beautiful garden. They have s'more kits for the kiddos as well as cookies and brownies in the evenings. Location is very walkable to downtown.

    The savory breakfast option one of our mornings, chicken frittata with bacon

    We stayed here after the hotel we originally booked was not open in time for our trip. We couldn't have lucked out more with this great location and cute Inn. Breakfast included which was some items you help yourself to, including coffee, juice, fresh muffins, toast/bagels, cereals, a few fruit options, in addition to your choice of 2 fresh made options which seemed to be 1 sweet and 1 savory option each morning. They also had a fresh made sweet treat every late afternoon/evening. All of the staff were very friendly. The bed was comfortable, but the bathroom itself and the shower were very small. The room also had a microwave and fridge. I'd stay here again if I visited Bar Harbor a 2nd time.

    Frittata breakfast, resteraunt quality

    We snagged their black Friday deal, and it did not disappoint. Staff were welcoming, friendly, and resourceful. While we know Acadia well being regional visitors, staff were always ready to share food/shop/hiking recommendations, which is greatly appreciated. Rooms had unique touches while not trying to go over the top, beds are comfy and the breakfast food was superb. The place is updated and modern compared to most bar harbor hotels. If the rates are good, we will be back!

    Our three night stay at The Inn on Mount Desert was awesome. This place is luxurious on a comfortable scale - meaning you are truly treated like a special guest while at the same time feel like you are in your own home. The accommodations are amazing, the employees go above and beyond, the breakfast is worthwhile (why go out when you can be served here and sit out on the covered porch staring at the beautiful flowers and plants). The happy hour treats were well appreciated. The rocking chairs on the front porch are so welcoming and fun to sit on to people watch! Once we landed here we walked everywhere...restaurants, all of the tours we signed up for (except our ebike tour), the grocery store Hannaford, and of course the bay and Atlantic Ocean!

    Love, love , love this place! Felt soo welcome at check in. Very friendly at the front desk and always willing to give recommendations. We traveled with 4 children and they absolutely loved it. Everyone from the front desk , housekeeping and kitchen staff were soo nice to them. The rooms are clean and comfortable. There is a washing machine , tumble dryer. A games room with a billiard table and exercise equipment. There is a cute room with a children's corner and board games. Outside there are rocking chairs overlooking the street. The breakfast menu changes every day. You place your order at the counter and they bring it to you. While we were there we had pumpkin pancakes, frittata , waffles , oatmeal and spicy chicken hash. Every thing tasted great and fresh. Upstairs there are beverages available throughout the day. The garden outside is beautiful with a boules section and a swing. The location is perfect. Walking distance to restaurants and harbor. Hoping to come back.

    Overall, I had a great experience. Ideal location, restaurants and shops are within a few minutes walk in Bar Harbor. Parking was free and there seemed to be plenty of parking even when there was no vacancy. Breakfast was complimentary every morning and they had 2 items to choose from. The one morning I chose to get it was a vegetable quiche or porridge, and I chose vegetable quiche. It was delicious and also came with some fruits and a mini muffin. The room was clean and overall quiet. It was a bit loud in the morning because my room was on the same floor as the breakfast area. The water pressure for the shower was SO low and I'm unsure if it was just my room but I really didn't like that. Especially after a long day of hiking and kayaking. I would recommend staying here!

    We stayed here on a recent trip to Bar Harbor/Acadia. In reality, I would give this spot a 3.5, but the grounds were immaculate and the themeing is cute, so I will round up. I feel like for the price we paid, everything was just fine, not exceptional nor luxurious. The rooms are large and clean, but there is nothing really stand out about them to merit the price tag. Now, it could just be that the Bar Harbor area is pricey, but next time I come to the area I will likely look elsewhere instead of just automatically booking here. Most of the hotel staff was helpful, but it did sometimes feel like pulling teeth to get tips/information on the park/BH area.

As parents of…read moretwo young children, it was amazing to have it feel relaxing and fun for everyone--but The Bayview somehow managed to do exactly that. It wasn't just a vacation; it felt like we were genuinely cared for from the moment we arrived until the day we left. The attention to detail throughout the property is exceptional. Every member of the staff was warm, welcoming, and eager to make our stay special. We were constantly amazed by the thoughtful touches--from the personalized treats waiting for our kids, to the beautifully folded laundry returned in a charming basket (what a luxury for a mom on vacation!), to the nightly turndown service that made us feel completely pampered. Breakfast each morning was outstanding and we all loved the afternoon teatime! Chef Tricia and her team created delicious, beautifully prepared food. it was lovely to be able to pop in for breakfast or afternoon tea and treats each day. Our children loved the nightly s'mores around the fire pit, the playground, and wandering the shoreline trail to climb on the rocks by the water. Those simple moments became some of our favorite family memories. The complimentary shuttle into downtown Bar Harbor made everything incredibly convenient, and the hotel's location--just minutes from Acadia National Park--couldn't have been better. My daughter and I enjoyed taking the shuttle to the sister property for morning yoga. We enjoyed all the beauty and adventure of the area while always looking forward to returning "home" to The Bayview each evening. A very special thank you to Vinet at the front desk, the manager, Chef Tricia, and every member of the team. You each made us feel truly special. The level of hospitality you provide has really set the bar. Our week flew by. We left feeling refreshed, spoiled, and already talking about when we can come back.

This is their number one asset, and they treat it that way. The room highlights the view perfectly, and the grounds are impeccable. - The room was nice, clean, and everything in it just right. The room cleaning staff was excellent. - The extra touches were a delight: chocolate strawberries for our 34th anniversary with a note, the water bottles, turn-down service with little gifts. Little touches like that around every corner. - The breakfast (and food in general) exceeded our expectation. Whoever they have in the kitchen is doing a bang-up job. - The front desk staff was gracious, helpful, and prompt. The concierge helped us with reservations and itinerary. Top notch. - The shuttle was great. It made the hotel's distance from downtown a non-issue. - We had a minor issue with an overly-enthusiastic dog (remember this is a pet-friendly hotel btw), but the staff and management handled it quickly and professionally, again making it a non-issue.
