Downtown Bar Harbor Location

Situated on 8 acres along Frenchman Bay in downtown Bar Harbor, the inn is within walking distance of shops, art galleries, and waterfront activities. Acadia National Park Visitors Center is 2 miles away. Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport is 25 km from the property. Four ClipperCreek EV charging stations are available on site.

Guest Services Overview

The property offers Pack & Plays, rollaway beds, and has six ADA-accessible rooms with grab bars and wheelchair-accessible features. The concierge provides local activity recommendations, hiking trail information, and Maine shop guidance.

“This grande dame maintains a sense of timelessness, balancing historic charm with up-to-date comforts. The infinity pool, uniquely positioned, offers what I think are some of the best views in Bar Harbor. I found the location ideal-far enough from downtown to feel serene, yet a short walk to the shops and restaurants.”
