    Blueberry Pancake
    Amanda M.

    This was such a quaint little place located only a couple blocks from the main strip of Bar Harbor. Jen and Josh were wonderful hosts and our breakfast was delicious every morning. There was one morning where the water went out and our hosts reacted quickly to get the issue resolved. We stayed in the Sea Rose suite which is one of the smaller rooms with the detached private bath. If you don't mind have a bathroom down the hall, it is a great way to save ~$100 a night if you're on a budget. The bathroom is private so no other guests will use it so don't let that deter you! We will for sure stay here again.

    Biscuits and gravy with eggs and house sausage, accompanied by an iced coffee from down the road. What great fuel for the day.

    Just went up to MDI with my good friend and hiking buddy. I tend to camp when I go to Acadia, but we wanted a break this time with a shower and bed after long hikes. I feel so lucky that we got a room at Maples. It was almost by accident- everything else was booked up, since we planned fairly last minute. Maples must have had a cancellation, because I can't imagine them having incomplete bookings during this busy season! Leigh and Matt were the perfect B&B hosts- available but not intrusive, friendly and down to earth, and clearly passionate about what they do. Matt's cooking let us choose not to go out for breakfasts, because we had the best quality dining right there, inside or on the porch! Leigh was so helpful and informative. She also went VERY out of her way to help us when we ran into a tricky logistical issue, and really saved the day. The space itself is also excellent. Comfy beds/linens, good water pressure, good wifi, A/C. Unlimited coffee k-cups. Snacks (homemade baked goods, fruit and granola bars) always out. I don't know how many other folks were there, but despite seeing plenty of other guests downstairs/in the hallway, I never heard other folks while we were in the room. Nice quiet side street, but a few minutes walk from downtown. What more could you want! The main thing to be aware of is that it is not accessible (stairs to rooms). I don't know when I'll get up there again, but I will *definitely* be back to stay with Leigh and Matt. Thanks, team, for providing such a wonderful home away from home!

    Delicious omelet made by Matt! Chirizo sauce and a biscuit! Local blueberry preserve was amazing!

    Absolutely loved it here!! Leigh and Matt are the BEST! From the moment we stepped through the doors to our final goodbyes, they were both gracious hosts! This was our first bed and breakfast experience and other guests were saying this place blows others out of the water! We came to Bar harbor for my boyfriend's birthday. Leigh and Matt were so sweet and left him a birthday card with a local treat! Soooo thoughtful! We are avid hikers and wanted to explore Acadia National Park. The park has a bus system that you can pick up down the street from the bed and breakfast and not have to worry about parking inside the park. Parking at the Maple Inn included in our stay and not hard to find. Main Street is easily walkable from the inn; about a 5 min walk. Upon arrival, Leigh gave us a ton of information and books to read (if we chose) on Bar Harbor, Acadia and the surrounding area. She gave us dinner options and showed us to our room. We stayed in the White Birch room which was adorable. The bed was soooo comfortable, I could have slept there all day. The living room with the fireplace would have been awesome in the winter but we enjoyed all the detail/decorations. Our room came with a fridge, however there was a communal fridge downstairs. Coffee, tea, and some type of delicious pastry was always available on a small table when you entered the front door. Matt's cooking is phenomenal!! Their made to order breakfast was to die for and there were 5-7 options to choose from everyday. The banana bread French toast with nutella sauce was amazing and our omelets were sooo fresh. The personalized menus were just a cute touch! Overall, fantastic stay with Leigh and Matt. They were such a happy couple and I'm so glad I found them. I would highly recommend staying here and we cannot wait to come back! If you're in Bar Harbor, this is where you want to stay!

    I've stayed at a lot of B&Bs during my life (I'm CEO of a travel company) and this establishment ranks among the best of them. It's the place where I would go again if I ever return to Bar Harbor. The main thing that sets them apart is the way Matt and Leigh notice and take care of the little things. They are well schooled in the art of hospitality and it shows! The rooms are well appointed and the building well maintained. The beds are excellent. The A/C worked well. The breakfasts were creative and delicious (Matt is a fine chef). The personalized notes on the room door and at breakfast creates a sense of connection. There are lots of resources to help you optimize your time in the area based on your areas of interest. Their location is great with all key venues (including the free shuttles -- which I highly recommend) within easy walking distance. The bottom line is that you can count on an excellent experience here.

    Santa Fe Trail breakfast is awesome!

    We recently completed our sixth stay at Maples Inn (3rd with Matt & Leigh). If anything has changed it is that Leigh is even more charming and Matt's breakfasts are even more amazing. The innkeepers remain in tune with their guests' needs and strive to exceed them. The service is excellent. The inn is well maintained and spotlessly clean. Breakfasts on this trip included a variety of omelets, include El Norteño - the biggest, baddest hombre of an omelet east of New Mexico - stuffed with carne asada and cheese and drowning in Matt's incredible New Mexico red chili sauce. The "Santa Fe Trail" was also a favorite - eggs, cheese, and house made chorizo stuffed between two fluffy biscuits and coated in red chili sauce. We also enjoyed banana bread French toast with Nutella spread and a piece of blueberry stuffed French toast so large that a show dog couldn't jump over it. Matt & Leigh recommended several great ideas for our stay in Bar Harbor from restaurants to tours to hikes in Acadia. We especially admire Matt & Leigh's ability to relate to guests of all age ranges and interests. We will definitely be back!

    I can't believe there are only 2 reviews on this place!! It deserves a lot more recognition than that. My boyfriend and I stayed here for 5 days in the middle of July and it was such a wonderful experience. Before we even left, we were talking about coming back again! It's a great location because it's right by everything and you can walk everywhere, but it's on a side street that's nice and quiet. The garden in the front is full of beautiful flowers and we spent every night reading and drinking wine on the big front porch. Mark was the most hospitable, kind, and helpful innkeeper in the world! Anyone who feels unsure about the B&B experience should go for it at the Maples. He makes you feel very comfortable and welcomed right away. Not to mention, his AMAZING breakfast. Holy moly!! I don't think I've ever had such amazing breakfast food. Every day was something different and more delicious than the last. We woke up after only 2 hours of sleep (we had gone up Cadillac Mountain to watch the sunrise) just to have the breakfast. Mark always had great suggestions of things to do and places to check out. The room and bathroom was not huge (we stayed in the English Holly room), but in a place like Bar Harbor/Acadia you don't spend much time in the room. We had been on a road trip for 2 weeks and all of our luggage fit in the room with no issues. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the rooms were clean and well decorated. Stay here if you're headed to Bar Harbor... you won't regret it!

    I have stayed in multiple bed and breakfasts, and this one is hands-down the best I have been to. Leigh and Matt are so wonderful and personable. They are there to make sure your experience in Bar Harbor is one you'll never forget. Leigh is so helpful with ideas and suggestions on what to do, where to eat, hidden spots & how to spend your day. she is more than willing to answer any questions, anytime. Matt is Leigh's husband and the chef there. Matt always had the door half opened in the kitchen with music playing so you can smell his delicious cooking and watch him dancing and having a great time while he does it. It radiates light and positivity. Everyone in the dining room talked to each other about their plans for the day, what they did the day before, suggestions & ideas... everything you want from a b&b.. The environment is unmatched. Matt Was also quick to answer any questions and give us recipes from some of his breakfast that we asked for, you don't get that a lot from chefs... But these two are not quite like anybody else. They are better. Can't say enough about the charm this house held as well. We stayed in the blue room and it was amazing. So spacious and Leigh made sure we had firewood to start a fire in the living room area. There was also complimentary wine in there, as if the nighttime & morning snacks prepared fresh every day weren't enough. Their attention to detail is superb. They care hard, and it really shows. I would come back to Bar Harbor not only because I loved it, but simply to stay here again.

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!

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.

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.

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.
