What an amazing view! The hosts were very helpful with local suggestions and we had an wonderful time. The breakfast was awesome and the view from the back porch is a bonus! The home is a treasure from the 1800's. We would highly recommend this inn when staying in the Acadia area!

This was our first bed and breakfast. This was a great experience. It is about 40 minutes from Bar Harbor. But it was nice to get away from the tourist trap and sit on the porch looking at the bay. I wouldn’t be surprised if we made another trip here.

Our recent visit to the Acadia Bay Inn on our annual Anniversary trip was an awesome experience! Matt and Nicole were such great hosts! The breakfasts were 5 star! I can’t say enough about how relaxing and enjoyable our stay was, we even had wonderful weather! Driving up to the Inn and seeing my name on the welcome sign was such a nice touch! It is close enough to drive to Acadia Park, Bar Harbor, and Cadillac Summit, but was always wonderful to come back to out quiet, beautiful room! Thank you all so much!

Matt and Nicole were the perfect hosts, providing a fantastic full breakfast every morning and great travel and sightseeing advice. The property is beautifully kept with breathtaking views overlooking Acadia Bay and Cadillac mountain. The perfect “down east Maine” getaway! And we feel as if we now have two friends we didn’t have before. The best!

We had a fantastic stay at Acadia Bay Inn. It’s a gorgeous old home, built in the 1880’s. The period décor is in keeping with the original personality of the home. The view from the veranda was spectacular. Our bedroom was perfect, but we spent most of our time at the inn on the veranda. Coffee and breakfast in the mornings and wine in the afternoons and evenings. Nicole and Matt are super hosts. They are very engaging and enjoyable to be around. Matt is a great source of area information and history. Nicole created lovely breakfasts that were as delicious as they were beautiful. We enjoyed them each morning on the veranda soaking in the view of the bay. We are hoping for a return to Acadia Bay Inn with friends and family.

More than expected!
The end is beautiful, the views are amazing, in our room was extremely clean and beautifully decorated. We had a gourmet cooked breakfast every morning on the porch overlooking the water. He innkeepers are very nice people and go out of their way to accommodate everyone. I have a gluten allergy and my breakfast was gluten-free every morning. The end is far enough away from Bar Harbor to get away from the hustle and bustle and close enough to be a part of it if you choose. We would definitely stay here again. This is quite the private getaway.

Just finished our stay at Acadia Bay Inn and it was hard to leave. The view could not have been more spectacular and the wonderful breakfast that was served outside was delicious each and every day. Nicole and Matt were both amazing and provided some suggestions for our stay all of which turned out to be great. I would highly recommend anyone stay here weather you plan on spending some time in Acadia, Bar Harbor, or a little bit of both.

Breathtaking! The whole experience at Acadia Bay Inn was excellent but you can’t beat the view! Matt and Nicole go above and beyond to help their guests have the best possible stay-from the beautifully decorated home to the awesome breakfast and French pressed coffee. This B&B was the most beautiful of our trip.

This was such an unexpected gem! Hands down the most beautiful, tranquil place in the area. Matt and Nicole were amazing hosts. The inn has 7 rooms and yet was incredibly quiet. Our room was the smallest (we booked late and luckily got the last room in the inn.) Despite being the smallest, it was still spacious and had a nice shared patio that looked out over the front side of the inn. Most of the other rooms look out over the water and have spectacular views of Cadillac mountain, Frenchman Bay, sailboats and calm water. The sunsets were spectacular. We have traveled all over the world but this was such a wonderful slice of heaven. The breakfasts were outstanding - much heartier than the usual B&B fare. We had a mushroom sausage egg strata the first day, wuth french pressed coffee. The next morning was scrambled eggs, ham and a delicious potato casserole. Our third morning was lemon ricotta pancakes with a homemade wild blueberry sauce. All were delicious. This was our base and we spent our time in the park for hiking, Bar Harbor for lunch and shopping, Ellsworth and Trenton for evening dining. Enjoy! You won’t be sorry.

This was our first bed and breakfast experience and it was great! The hosts were friendly and welcoming. The view off the back porch is amazing and is really peaceful. The breakfast was delicious and enjoyable (we got to eat on the porch). It was clean and comfortable. Located in more of a rural area so really great for relaxing but not a lot of great food options in close proximity. We would stay again.

I had an absolutely fantastic stay with Nicole and Matt! The property has access to a gorgeous view of the islands and the bay, which you can access any time during your stay, as well as breakfast every morning. Speaking of which, Nicole's breakfast is an absolute treat. Matt is very helpful with local restaurant recommendations and itinerary if you need it. The inn is about 30 minute drive from Mt. Desert Island and 20 minute from Bar Harbor. It provides the perfect relief from crowds if you're looking for a more quiet stay. I would definitely stay there again in the future!

The setting was serene and the views were breathtaking. To sit on our balcony at night and see the Milky Way directly overhead was a wonderful experience ... and it was topped off with a shooting star! The proprietors, Angie and Todd, couldn't have been more accommodating. Above and beyond ... we had to be on the road early to head back home, and we found breakfast bags and coffee cups at our door before we even got up! Quite a surprise and a wonderful treat! Todd is quite the cook! I can sum it up by saying that we were treated like royalty and welcomed as friends. I would love to go back!

The best place to stay in Acadia.
The inn was fantastic. Angie and Todd were lovely hosts. The view is even more breathtaking in person than in photos. The breakfast was so tasty and served with a fantastic view. The location was perfect for us, we did not want to in crowded Bar Harbor and Sullivan provided the relaxing, quiet time we were looking for in addition to some great restaurants and bars. The grounds were well cared for. Tasty wine, beer, and cocktails were offered to those taking in the views on the lawn and porch in the afternoon/evenings.

Acadia Bay Inn is so much more than a place to lodge while you're touring the area of Bar Harbor. This beautiful inn lures you back from the busyness of seeing the sites, and invites you to delight yourself in the quiet beauty of a private balcony view of Frenchman's Bay and the idyllic full view of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. If you can't reserve a bay view room, the property has multiple bay view sitting areas: within the lower level dining area, on the covered porch, and on the lawn. A small private beach is also accessible for quiet walks and talks or shell and sea glass seeking. Local loons frequent the waters near the shore, and a bald eagle appears regularly in particular nearby trees. In the bay, several local lobster boats rock next to their buoys, waiting for the lobstermen to begin their morning or evening runs to check the traps. If you're there when it happens and you're being watchful, you can glimpse the life of lobstering in Maine, as the lobstermen row quietly out to their boats, and begin the day's work. When the boats return with their catch, it's possible that you will see the quick transfer of the trapped lobster to the deck of a speed boat bound for Bar Harbor, where it will become today's lunch or dinner for a tourist like you or me! Acadia Bay Inn is not just a place to crash for the night; it's a place to enjoy for its tranquil and refreshing atmosphere. And the hosts, Todd & Angie, will do everything possible to make your stay delightful!
