When we arrived there were two cups and 2 k-cups for us to have coffee in the morning and all the normal things like towels and soap in the bathroom. After the first night we just normally expected trash would be taken out, new coffee, maybe new coffee cups. Standard quick tidy up. It didn't happen. So the second night we put the hanger on the door asking for service. It didn't happen either. Office was only open 8-noon. We left before 8 each morning. The notice on the door in our room said cleaning was 9-1 each day. Clearly the owners are not focused on this property or the guests. We heard they owned another property and might be there if we needed something. Shockingly, following up on whether or not we got clean dry towels was not our priority either during our stay. I would probably try another spot next time.

We feel very fortunate that we were able to book with Bluff House Inn for their Maple cabin for our…read morehoneymoon. These cabins and the lodges are adorable, comfortable, and simplistic to truly enjoy nature. We stopped in the main lodge once and loved seeing the inside. Our cabin was perfect for our honeymoon and busy days of hiking and exploring Acadia National Park. The smaller cabins have all you really need. The bed and sheets were insanely comfortable. The main window and the outdoor patio faced sunset so we enjoyed watching sunset each night and noticed several other cabins did too. There were 2 stools and a table with a coffee maker and mini fridge. The room came with a small space heater but it really did warm up the space if you're prone to getting cold. The bathroom and towels were perfect! The owners are so sweet in communicating over email leading up to our stay with any questions, and their texts with recommendations on hikes, parking, exploring, and restaurants truly helped shape our day! We would love to come back someday!!!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was one of the most disappointing stays I've ever had…read more The only positive thing I can say is that the view from the back of the room was beautiful. Unfortunately, everything else was a major disappointment. First, this is not a cabin that it's simply a motel-style room that only looks like a cabin from the outside. There isn't even a TV in the room. We also had no hot water for an entire day, which is completely unacceptable. The mattress was so lumpy and uncomfortable that I barely slept during our stay. Honestly, based on the condition of the room and everything we experienced, I believe we deserve a refund. The room was poorly maintained. The bathroom sink clogged almost immediately every time the water was running, making it frustrating to use. The shower was unbelievably small. If you're taller than about 5'5", you're going to have a difficult time fitting comfortably. There was barely enough room to move. The electrical outlets were so loose that my phone charger wouldn't stay plugged in overnight, leaving me with a dead phone the next morning. Even the entry door was badly scratched and looked like it had been damaged by a dog. The price is outrageous for what you actually receive. Be sure to read the fine print before booking. You're given the choice of either allowing a $500 hold on your credit card or paying an additional nonrefundable $35 per night. For that extra charge, all you get is Walmart Great Value coffee. For the amount this property charges, I expected a much higher standard of accommodations and service. If you're planning to visit Bar Harbor or Acadia National Park, be aware that this property is about an hour away, which is much farther than many people might assume when booking. Overall, aside from the beautiful view, this stay was absolutely not worth the money. Between the lack of hot water, uncomfortable mattress, clogged sink, tiny shower, maintenance issues, loose electrical outlets, unexpected extra fees, and distance from the main attractions, I would not stay here again or recommend it to others. This was one of the worst lodging experiences I've had, and I genuinely believe we should receive a refund because the accommodations were nowhere near worth what we paid.

I stayed in the Beach Rose room on the 3rd floor, a spacious studio with two beds. The space has everything one might need for a carefree and relaxing stay: microwave, fridge, instapot, coffee maker, coffee and teas, iron, blow dryer, toiletries. I loved waking up to the beautiful view of the sunrise and watching the boats and birds. Sketch pads and pencils invite you to be creative. I love that touch. Binoculars are also available and I was so glad as I had forgotten mine. They thought of everything! The bed was spacious and comfortable, the shower pressure and temperature were great. The location is perfect for walking around this fishing and lobstering village and taking in the beauty and serenity. Jonesport has a fascinating history which you can read about in some of the books in the room. Take a drive over the bridge to Beals island for spectacular views of the surrounding areas and to see Jonesport from a different vantage point. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and look forward to visiting again and highly recommend.

The owners are so nice and accommodating. I felt like extended family, and I mean that in the best way possible. They have a super cute little dog and two nice cats. Of which never bothered us, in fact I think I bothered them by trying to pet them :) They included breakfast which was AMAZING. The chef is also the owner and he is so nice, each morning they chatted with us bout the local area and in general were just very nice. I couldn't ask for a better way to start my day. My only real complaint was that my bed was small, but that is due to having shared a room with a co-worker, we had the two bedroom. I am sure the one bedrooms have bigger beds. Overall I would say this is a place you should stay if you are in the area. Go, relax, have some wine and chat. Most of all, forget your problems and worries, even for just a moment while enjoying coffee and looking out onto the river.

A B&B that is timeless!…read more My husband and I were cruising the coast of Maine and were lucky enough to get the last available room at the Oceanside Meadows Inn. We heard about the Schoodic Peninsula on Chronicle and had to see it for ourselves. We didn't book anything before we left home because we decided to throw caution to the wind and let the knowledge of the Yelp community and the availability of Hotels Tonight be our guide. It worked well! First, the Oceanside Meadows Inn is an Old Sea Captain's house. It's not a "renovated" Sea Captain's house (which, I believe, would ruin the charm) so don't expect fancy schmancy designer curtains and hot tubs. It is exactly the way it should be. There is mismatched furniture and trinkets and a telescope and a piano and board games and lots of floral bedding and chopped wood and, and, and...I could go on. Second, if you're an old soul at heart, you will come to understand the Peninsula and know that Oceanside Meadows is a perfect representation of what the area is all about. It's raw and charming and historic and no, please don't ever replace those old creaky windows and that beautiful glass. The beds are comfortable and we could hear the lapping of the ocean outside our window (I slept through the night which is something I never do) and although others have mentioned small bathrooms, our bathroom had a shower and although it wasn't a huge bathroom, it was fine. We actually did not have time to go over to the beach area across the street (the weather wasn't great either) but the view is stunning and you will most likely have the beach to yourselves when you stay there. I'll be honest about breakfast. I didn't really eat much of it. I can't eat chilled fruit soup in the morning (my husband liked it) and they incorporate nature into the menu (think edible flowers) so it's interesting but I'm kind of immature when it comes to eating stuff like that so I can't really write a review about it. I still loved having tea from the vintage teacup and I did eat a whole grain waffle, which was good. I'm not one to "request" something else (breakfast isn't a biggy for me anyway) but they were very accommodating so I'm sure I could have asked for something else. We were in kind of a hurry so when Ben told the guests to meet him in the cottage to discuss things to do in the area we were going to try and sneak out beforehand but I'm so glad we got caught because it was the BEST. The history and knowledge he has of the area is unbeatable. We had the best lobster roll for lunch because of him and we saw some beautiful areas because of his suggestions that we otherwise would have never seen. Oceanside was really a perfect spot to stop and absorb the Peninsula and appreciate its history. One more thing. The owners left a book on the bed for us when we arrived. It was called The Peninsula (by Louise Dickinson Rich) and it's all about...wait for it...the Schoodic Peninsula. It's an oldie but my husband found it in a used bookstore a few days later and I am now the proud owner of it. If you love the area, I highly recommend that you read it. It's the little things in life that make all the difference.

The key to this place is seclusion. And Breakfast!…read more If you are looking for a B&B off the beaten path, but still nestled in beautiful coastal wilderness, then this is your spot. Maybe you're not a B&B person (I wasn't); you'll still enjoy the breakfast. Like the previous reviewer said, the entire peninsula is a quiet, early-to-bed sort of place without much in the way of dining or nightlife. However, you are a five minute drive from your own secret national park - Acadia National Park's Schoodic Peninsula. Without the hype and crowds of the bigger park an hour car (or ferry) ride away, but with just as many rocky shorelines, and a few rooty trails, this little park is a hidden gem. The people staying at the B&B seemed to be more the hiking, biking, canoeing type than city slickers looking for a cute town to shop in (see: Bar Harbor instead). The sleepy town aside, the grounds of the B&B are beautiful, 2 or 3 big houses with some old shuttered cottages, a greenhouse and foresty trails in back, a private strip of beach across a tiny street. I didn't find the decor all that odd - I expected a B&B to look like a crazy grandmother's house with floral wall paper and quilts and doilies - and that's what you get. Multiple common living rooms, a kitchen for cooking (since there are no vegan-friendly restaurants within an hour radius), all in the same building as our room. You have to be a little comfortable dealing with other guests, and I imagine you could have a bad night if they were a little rowdy since none of the rooms are sound-proof at all. Our room had a nice and comfy king bed, private bath/shower, no A/C but the temperature was perfect in the night in August with the windows open. I can't comment on how it would feel in other seasons, but they did have heaters lining the walls for cooler months. No TV, wifi seemed to work for us but was a little slow. Cell phone reception was spotty for the entire peninsula. The best part of the stay - the three course breakfast every morning. I believe it's always vegetarian, and can be made vegan (the chef is very accomodating), in our two days we had various fruit soups, french toast, bundt cakes, and an egg (substitute) florentine, along with fruit drinks and coffee/tea. I really enjoyed the creativity of presentation, the edible flowers, and it was so good that you have to eat it all and then go outside and expend enough energy in the great outdoors to work it off. Even though I'm fairly certain I'm not a B&B person (not the biggest fan of chatting with strangers) I definitely would recommend it if you happen to be in the area or want to escape the crowds of Bar Harbor.

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.
