It's amazing that the house was once a single family home. We slept like a rock. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfasts were very good, the coffee could have been hotter though.

The Good: The room was a good size, clean and nicely decorated. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good with excellent pressure. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was good but limited. The baked goods at afternoon coffee time were great) It is about a mile walk into town. The Not so Good: There is no elevator. It does say so on the website, but we feel there should be more warning about how steep the stairs are to the upper levels. There are basically no facilities in the room. No wardrobe for hanging clothes (a portable rack was provided but not assembled), No tea/coffee making facilities, you have to wait for breakfast to be ready (8am). No glasses in the bathroom, no refrigerator (a shared one 3 floors below our room). Despite advertising daily housekeeping, our room was not cleaned during our stay. Coffee ran out at breakfast and was not replenished. We paid more than we originally intended because we were looking for that extra luxury, but for the price we paid, we were very disappointed and would have expected better.

Couple's Trip to Maine, Wonderful place and people

As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the innkeeper, Steffan. What an amazing guy! Immediately made us feel welcomed and used his knowledge of the area to give us some great tips. Throughout the weekend, he and the staff working at Cleftstone were incredibly helpful and friendly. The room and its specially made wallpaper was absolutely beautiful. The breakfast served each morning was the perfect size and delicious both days. Although traveling from Boston can be a bit of a long drive, staying at the Cleftstone made the journey worth it. Thanks to Steffan and all the staff who work there for brilliant stay in Bar Harbor!

From beginning to end, my husband and I had a great experience at the Cleftstone Inn. The property is a lovely, well-maintained, historic manor located within walking distance to town. The room we stayed in felt very clean and was decorated with quality furniture. The staff were phenomenal, everyone we encountered were so friendly and helpful - you could tell they had a passion for their career. The innkeeper, Steffen, was fantastic! He personally showed us to our room, offered local recommendations and would always check in with us when we passed him in the hallways. Breakfast is offered daily and I can not say enough good things about it, they give you two options - savory or sweet and you can never go wrong with either. It is delicious, fresh, and served in generous portions. Tea time is offered in the evening where they have tea or coffee available with a small snack. 10/10 experience, I would definitely recommend you book your stay with Cleftstone!

The Cleftstone Inn is a beautiful property. It's an older hotel but it's been updated and the rooms are really nice. Parking is right outside the main entrance. They have a homemade breakfast that varies from day to day that was really delicious. Acadia is just a short drive away so it's really convenient. We would definitely stay there again.

Honeymoon Stay

We had a fantastic time at The Cleftstone. The staff was accommodating and friendly - Steffen and Corey were awesome. The whole Inn is super clean, classy, and homey. We stayed in Room 14 for our honeymoon and it was gorgeous! We also can’t say enough about the breakfast. It was insanely good!

Gorgeous Victorian Inn conveniently located close to shopping, restaurants, and the ocean. Plenty of parking right in front of the house/Inn. Staff was friendly and welcoming and the breakfast included was out of this world delicious!!!! Oh and they had a fan! It was needed on the 3rd floor where our room was located. FYI, they don’t have an elevator but staff offered to take our bags up. Also, if you have issues with stairs, be mindful there are lots of stairs, so make sure to be aware of that when booking your room. Definitely a must stay!

The Inn is beautiful with a great lication. The room was clean, newly remodeled and comfortable. We stayed four nights and breakfast the first morning was excellent. i was expecting the breakfasts pictured on their website, sadly, those items were never offered. We bought breakfast the third and fourth mornings after the second day's was extremely disappointing.

We loved our stay at Cleftstone. Stephen, the Inn Keeper, was attentive, friendly, & helpful as was every staff person we encountered. The breakfast was scrumptious. Wish we had more time to stay longer. Bar Harbor is a wonderful place and Cleftstone made for a delightful respite from leaf peeping and Maine shore sight seeing. Thank you so much!

Total Charm

This was the absolute cutest property of our week in Maine. Every room was beautifully decorated and the details made everything so charming. By the way, the best sleeping pillows too! They also served breakfast in the morning and it was delicious! This Inn is off the beaten path of Bar Harbour which is nice during high season. We loved everything about it. If going to Bar Harbour, it's a must!

Breakfast options were tasty. My only regret was booking room 17. The climb up the 3rd flight of steps left me feeling unsafe due to no handrail while climbing up to a loft area. Room 17 is very small, which it does state. The dormer wall was annoying. I hit my head a couple times and so did my husband. But little time was spent in the room, except to sleep. The flowers on the breakfast tables were nice, but the water in the vases were dirty, kind of a sore sight. Other than these small items, it’s a nice place to stay.
