I can't recommend this place enough. Close to Arcadia, short walk to downtown, fantastic breakfast -- and everyone we met here (working or staying) were absolutely fabulous. We already are thinking about our next trip and will definitely plan to say here again when we are in Bar Harbor.

The Elmhurst Inn is a wonderful, quiet B&B with a great location. The grounds are nice with Adirondack changes for relaxing outdoors. The breakfast was very good everyday. It is an easy walk to downtown. We would stay here again and recommend it to others.

A lovely BNB! Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Great location near downtown with easy parking. Our room was a bit small but we didn't spend much time in it, so it was not an issue.

Excellent, charming, easy place to stay. The host was welcoming and shared many local recs. Walkable to all in Bar Harbor, we did Acadia without a car and able to do it from this location. Very cute and would stay again. Excellent breakfast too! Made special changes for gluten free breakfast too.

2-night trip

10/10

The Staff was very knowledgeable about places to go, places to eat and things to do. They were very friendly but not over the top. The breakfasts were great with two choices that were able to satisfy both my wife and me. The room was perfect and had a little sitting room that was perfect for reading and talking.
5-night trip

10/10

Great bed and breakfast. Feels like you’re walking into the past with all the historical furniture but with all the modern convenience. Breakfast was phenomenal as other comments have stated. All day coffee and afternoon refreshments were a plus after getting back from some long hikes. The host was very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely come back. If your looking for a great dinner close by “the project social” was our favorite
