Super cute decor, and the beds were very comfortable. Loved the baked goods that were baked daily by the staff, and the breakfast never disappointed. We went during the off season, so housekeeping was on request, which was not a problem for us. The inn was walking distance from the main village center, which was super convenient. I would absolutely stay here again!

The Inn on Mount Desert was perfect for our stay in Bar Harbor. The Inn was very beautiful with a beautiful garden and lots of outdoor seating options to enjoy nice weather. The breakfast was fresh and made to order every morning with a variety of options as well as things like breads, bagels, and cereal along with coffee and orange juice. The staff were always willing to help with anything that was needed and provided us with silverware and a bottle opener when we had leftover food. The room was kept very clean with nice decor as well. I would highly recommend this stay for anyone making a trip to Bar Harbor!
