This was a true B&B, which a charming residential atmosphere, off-street parking (important in this town), and daily breakfast. I was offered some freshly made pancakes, and they also made me a tofu scramble; they promise to always have milk alternatives and tofu available. 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.

You can easily walk to bars, restaurants and shopping. The personal touches and thoughtfulness each day by Walker are incredible. Also very reasonably priced. My new travel style is definitely going to be B&Bs.

If you're a history buff, you'll love catching up on some of the details about the construction and design of the property, including the quarry from where the stone for the facade came from. Really cool to check out a place built more than a century ago. The rooms we stayed in came equipped with a few modern touches. My husband and I stayed in the Chatswold, with body jets in the shower. My parents went with the Tallyrand and loved the built-in steam room after the weather turned and we got rained out coming back from brunch. The only downside to the room was that the bathroom door didn't shut completely and would swing a little ajar. One perk of a B&B that I always like is the innkeepers' little touches. The one breakfast we did try - scones and huevo rancheros - was absolutely delicious, big kudos to Brad and Nadine for making everything from scratch. I could have eaten five more of the scones. The warm chocolate chip cookies put out every afternoon were also very much welcomed. There were also bananas and cold bottled tap water. Super convenient location - the downtown strip is only a minute away and you're smack dab in between a ton of great restaurants (Havana and Peekytoe are a few steps down, Choco Latte has great muffins and coffee). Would definitely love to come back.

Bubbling fountain...nope! Al Fresco breakfast dining...nope! Afternoon social....nope! Staff availability...nope! Staff leaves at night leaving guests on their own. Hmmm......an early morning fire alarm urging evacuation and not a staff member in sight to turn to! They offer complimentary breakfast at the inn next door but if your a single diner, they'll attempt to seat you at a table with strangers! Not happening! Housekeeping....doesn't happen until AFTER you check out! Guests are told to leave trash, towels and linen outside their doors for housekeeping to pick up. And if you leave bedding outside your door, be prepared to make your own bed! Happy vacation! The Bar Harbor Inn is literally steps away......you'll be better off spending your money there!

Kristi met us as we checked in and provided a warm welcome, even a warm send off by providing us muffins to go for our early flight.

We stayed on the 3rd floor in the Beehive Suite. It was a bit of a trek going up and down as many times as we did, especially with heavy luggage, but we loved the room and the view!!!! And we never heard a single other guest during our stay. They have a great HVAC system that keeps the third floor very cool. And the bed and pillows were very comfortable. There is a parking space for a car for every room. When we arrived, we got a thorough welcoming from Matt. He showed us on a map some suggestions of where to eat. The inn is an easy walk from the town and about a five minute drive from the entrance to Acadia National Park. We didn't partake in breakfast, but saw many others enjoying it. They have a beautiful deck with plenty of seating, and Adirondack chairs in the yard to enjoy the stars. They keep the lights and music on all night, so no matter when you arrive home, you feel comfortable and safe. The only thing that we missed was access to ice. There is a tiny machine in the breakfast room, but that only makes enough ice for about 3 drinks for the whole place. We had to buy ice at the Circle K every day and keep it in our cooler in the room for our water bottles and cocktails. If you ever travel to Bar Harbor, this is the place to stay!!!

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.

Portions are generous, drinks are excellent, and the happy hour deals on oysters and cocktails/beverages make it way too easy to stick around. This place is the real deal with great food, great atmosphere, no fuss. Service is excellent. Highly recommend. We liked it enough that out of our only three dinners in Bar Harbor, two were here. If we stayed longer, we probably would have returned again!
