9.2/10 Wonderful! (457 reviews)
Beautiful and peaceful setting with the best view imaginable from the main house as well as some of the cabins. It was great to have access to the hot tub at sunset, and such close access to Winter Harbor, where the village is small and walkable with a small grocery, several places for breakfast, and several great lunch and dinner dining options. The drive to Bar Harbor and the Mount Desert Island side of Acadia is only about 45 minutes, as is the Ferry from Winter Harbor to Bar Harbor. The inn is on the 'quiet side' of the park, on the Schoodic peninsula, which is beautiful and must be explored. The sauna was not functional when I visited and the complimentary breakfast is nice to have - but not fancy. Think about what you may have a home in a hurry before heading - several cold cereal selections, pastries and bagels with a toaster and condiments, instant oatmeal, oranges and bananas, Keurig coffee. For a real treat and better coffee, the Downeaster is down the road in Winter Harbor, and J.M. Gerrish is right across the street from the Downeaster, where breakfast and coffee are both amazing. I will be back. Unlike what other reviewers have said - my room in the main house had a small fridge, an in-window AC unit, and comfortable bathroom. The sick in the bathroom was somewhat clogged, so hopefully that will be fixed for the next guest.
