Inn keeper was amazing. I think her name was Jessica, I m horrible with names, I m sorry. She had a lot of local knowledge, like all of New England, was very hospitable, welcoming and just made us feel comfortable during our stay. Nice cozy rooms, decent view, comfy bed. It s a great place to get all Acadia but not all the craziness of Bar Harbor crowds. I would recommend to anyone who wants quiet during an Acadia trip. It s an hour from Bar Harbor but worth the extra drive. I can t say enough, just go. Great breakfast as well.

Wish I could stay here Forever - Seriously From Massachusetts But I would move here and live and work here. Beautiful Rooms, Service/Staff All Kind And Made Me Feel Like I Was Home. PeaceofMind Rooms: So very Comfortable and if you need anything , extra pillow , towel , advice on what to eat the wonderful Staff has you all covered. And not made to feel like a bother as some places are. The Bed was like sleeping on a Cloud. Felt like Home Food & drinks: Great places to eat and home cooking at its finest. And they don t just take your order andNoteworthy details: It was a last minute decision and find , like seeing a Rainbow After The Rain Clears.. Is definitely a place you will feel at home . And not want to leave . View of Natures Beauty to Welcoming feelings at each place I went to and either ate or explored . Just Magic

Wonderful, friendly, interesting innkeepers who provide a terrific breakfast (& real maple syrup). Very clean, old fashioned BnB very close to the quiet side of Acadia NP (which is spectacular). Short drive to restaurants in Birch and Winter Harbor. (The Pickled Winkle in Birch Harbor was terrific as was the Treehouse in Winter Harbor). Keep in mind that most restaurants are closed on Monday night, but you can get simple eats at the ice cream stand (huge portions of ice cream) in Birch Harbor. Relaxing views from the seating on the BnB porch into Prospect Harbor, with its lobster boats. The BnB is also close to Corea, which is worth exploring.

Perfect place to stay for the area. Owners present plus Gail is a phemonal host. Breakfast delicious each day. Location, location, location! Views of harbor across the street breathtaking.Nearby activities: Can drive to adjacent harbors with more activities, stores and shops as well.Safety: Off street safe parking. There are no concerns of safety. All are safe at all times.

Rooms were quiet and spotlessly clean. Slanty floor in old house was absolutely charming. I loved sleeping with the windows open and felt perfectly safe doing so. Property is right across from a working lobster boat harbor within close proximity to the Schoodic part of Acadia park. Scott's recommendations for dinner and local sights were spot on! Breakfasts were absolutely delicious. Midnight snacks and drink-some/leave-some wine bar was terrific after the long drive. Highly recommended!

This is a wonderful little spot right in prospect harbor that makes a guest feel like they are right at home. Ruby prepares a delicious breakfast, while the owner charms every guest with his smile and tells interesting local stories. Loved this place!

A delightful B&B with a marvelous host, Scott. We stayed 4 nights, and really enjoyed the room with its private bath, as well as the wonderful breakfasts (plus evening treats) prepared by Ruby. Scott knows so much about the area. Strongly recommend: 1) having lunch (lobster) on the wharf at Corea (a few minutes drive away, hike the heath while you are there), 2) renting a bike to ride around the Schoodic area, 3) taking the ferry from Winter Harbor to Bar Harbor, 4) hike at close-by Petit Manan. Dinner is a bit of a challenge in the area since there are not many places, but the Salt Box in Winter Harbor was delicious (although not open everyday). Home-made pizza from the nearby MCS market bailed us out one night, and was very good. If you like quiet, this is your place.

Warm, friendly and comfortable B&B near Acadia National Park on the Schoodic Peninsula. Scott is a wonderful host, breakfast was delicious and the sunrise over the harbor was absolutely stunning. Can't wait to go back!

Beautiful and charming B&B. Very nice accommodations and delicious breakfast. Scott was very friendly and helpful with acclimating us to the area and pointing out hidden gems vs tourist traps. We'd come back!

Quant cozy inn with warm hospitality and a great breakfast! Reasonably priced and highly recommended!! Scott, the owner, makes a special effort to welcome his guests and helps them discover the gems in the area. Ruby made us fantastic breakfasts! Don't miss this hidden treasure!

The place is well maintained and the rooms are very neat and clean. Scott and Ruby are very friendly and they make sure all their guests are well informed about the places around. Ruby's breakfast is amazing. I couldn't resist myself from going on a second time.. overall this a very good choice for the money and will definitely recommend for anyone.

We were well cared for from the moment we arrived in a tasteful, spotlessly clean, tasteful home. Accommodations were quaint, charming and comfortable. Breakfasts were delicious and nutritionally well planned. I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as we did!
