"This is a GREAT out of the way stay. We mistakenly booked it thinking it was in Bar Harbor and was surprised upon arriving in Bar Harbor for sightseeing and dinner that the hotel was over an hour away! We quickly pivoted our plans/shopping/dinner to earlier times and arrived to the property in the later evening (around 8:30ish). We were tired and fell asleep quickly only to wake up to a gorgeous view from our window that we could not enjoy due to a scheduled tour in BH that morning. So we checked out and drove to BH but was informed that our scheduled tour was cancelled(!!). We were so disappointed, but very happy we stumbled across this property. We will be back!!"
