The inn itself is beautiful and majestic and pictures don't do it justice. Beautiful property with beautiful green lawn leading to Adirondack chairs overlooking the water. Stairs lead down to the water and you can walk the shore. The hosts, Matt and Kristi, outstanding!!! Matt checked us in and gave us the lay of the land and gave us some history. I would have loved the chance to talk with them more- but we were on the go. Breakfast the next morning was this amazing homemade bread with melted Gouda cheese and fresh tomatoes with eggs any style topping it off. Unbelievable. And it started with fresh watermelon and kiwi plate with a coconut lime drizzle. I did not want to leave. They also had out biscuits and snickerdoodle cookies for arrival or when getting home for the night.

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.

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.

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. Thank you, The Bayview, for giving our family what was truly our best family vacation yet. We can't recommend this hotel highly enough!

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.

Breakfast each morning offered two entrees and we always chose one of both to share, solo, or fight over. We loved all the options. We had 6 breakfasts and none repeated. Breakfast came with an entree, fresh fruit, bread, fresh juice, coffee/tea. I never left hungry, that's for sure. Our room was spacious. We had a nice king sized bed that was cozy. Our shower was nice and hot, which was welcome after a long day of hiking or biking. We could control our room temp so we had nice cool nights so we could snuggle with the comforter. Each day starting at 3pm, snacks were served in the dining room which was often homemade cookies, iced tea, chips and salsa, or nuts. A little sweet and a little salty. A coffee and tea station was available 24/7. Cheryl was helpful with her knowledge of the area. The place was spotless and the employees worked well as a team. Such a great experience.

We were aware of the BnB's no-refund policy so we were fully expecting to be charged an extra day but Eric gave us a break and just shifted our reservation a day down so we wouldn't lose a day's rate. He also let us switch to a different room on the last day as our room was unavailable for then.
