    Not disgruntled but totally disappointed. Somewhat astonished of the many "10" and "5" positive reviews. We share our review to provide another perspective of the Inn. Having stayed at other B&B's with exceptional service in many of our travels, we booked the Beehive Suite (see website photo attached) as described below: "The two most private waterfront suites of the inn are the only guest rooms located on the third floor. Two flights of stairs is a small price to pay for the commanding view of the bay from these two special suites. The Keurig Machine in the third floor coffee lounge will save you a few steps for your first cup of morning caffeine." Please note that the description reads, "two flights of stairs." What it fails to share with you is that it requires at least 4 very distinct "turns" with several additional 3 to 4 steps up as you walk-up to the room and that all the steps are very narrow and somewhat steep. Although it is on the third floor, getting to the room will require many more steps than your average "straight up" two flights of stairs as stated in the description. Secondly, the photos displayed on the website must have been taken right at the "2014 renovation." The carpet on the website photos (#1 & #2) appears well-kept and nice as opposed to its appearance on May 6, 2013. The carpet is totally flat from foot traffic, somewhat dirty in appearance and on our arrival date, had a "musty" smell. The photos also reflect a room with lots of natural light. Again, do not expect that level of natural light - in reality, it is somewhat "gloomy" in appearance. And yes, the ceilings are not high due to its "complicated roof structure" as described on the website, adding to the claustrophobic feeling once in the room. Lastly, the description of "central air conditioning" is exactly that, central to the entire home and only controlled by two very small vents in the Beehive room. Needless to say we were very disappointed and chose not to stay at the Inn and booked a room at the Bar Harbor Inn. Since we had exceeded the Inn's cancellation date, we were charged the entire 4-night stay as a no show.

    Your hosts Kristi and Matt have opened their home that they raised their 3 children in to provide a very comfortable "New England" B and B experience. Building and rooms are in great shape and cared for. Yard and gardens similarly in well-manicured state. Having looked around town during our 5 night stay, we see there's no shortage of places to stay if that's all you're after. But for a really great breakfast meal, very friendly people, the tranquility of a private yard overlooking the water, and easy walking distance into town this is the _only_ place to stay!

    Quaint perfectly located inn - we enjoyed the Acadia Suite and were delighted by the modern bathroom, fireplaces, and private sitting room. The semi-private balcony (shared with one other suite) was the perfect place to unwind. We hope to snag the first floor Master Suite when we visit next (to see the fall colors). The Master Suite is on the first floor - two other suites are on the second floor. The regular rooms are on the third floor. Obviously there isn't an elevator in this 100 year old Victorian gem. The innkeepers, Matt and Kristy, were helpful and friendly without being intrusive. Kristy is an excellent cook and prepared gourmet breakfasts! You can sit at a table for 8 or select a private table for 2. Acadia National Park is awe inspiring! This Inn is the perfect place to recharge after enjoying the park!

    Our stay at The Bayview Hotel was the best travel experience our family has ever had. 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.

The parking lot is small but we were able to find a spot. It's not the most well-lit so be careful when parking/walking. Checking in was easy, we called the number at the front desk and someone came to help us. We even got a late night snack (chocolate mousse) to bring up to our room. The inn is a cute, quaint little house that feels very warm and homey. Our room had a bed with a giant wooden bedframe and the amenities were clean and simple. We got a pair of super comfortable robes too! Now, let's talk food. Every day, you go downstairs into a cute little parlor/tea room. There's always a sweet option and a savory option, and everything is made fresh in house. I mean it when I say these were some of the best breakfasts I've had in my life! Pancakes, waffles, French toast, breakfast quiches... always with a healthy side of fresh fruit and some carb or meat. I seriously looked forward to waking up every day just so I could find out what the breakfast options were. My husband likes sweet and I like savory so we always each ordered one and shared. Again, seriously the best breakfasts I've had in my life!! As if that wasn't enough, they provide daily afternoon "tea time" snacks too! The baked goods were heavenly! We would 100% recommend it to friends and we plan to visit again one day!

The owner helped me get my suitcase up but still stairs and I don't get along well. I would have forgiven this but our room was a joke. 1. The decor was... eclectic. Meaning nothing matched. The wallpaper was peeling. The carpet was wrinkling and coming up in the corners. 2. No closet, no safe, no coffee maker (they served coffee in a sitting room... down the stairs) 3. The bed was designed by Torquemada. After one sleepless night my wife and I were ready to confess to heresy or treason. It was the most uncomfortable bed I've encountered in decades. The pillows smelled like they hadn't been washed. The bed wasn't level. The mattress was lumpy. We did not sleep ... maybe two hours. 4. The bathroom had a shower. Because of my handicap need to have my wife help me into bathtubs so I elected not to shower. 5. You would think that for $380 they could afford something better than Motel 6 soaps. Very cheap. So after one sleepless night we checked out. The owner said because we booked through Expedia we needed to deal with them. Expedia told us after a day that the owner would not waive their no refund fee so I'm out $380 for that second night. You're better off camping in a tent. Never again.
