I highly recommend this property. Staff was amazing, easy check in, and right in the heart of Bar Harbor. Easy to walk to many bars and restaurants. Room was nice and clean!
We stayed in the Pine Cone room on the 3rd floor. It should never be rented out. It was totally dysfunctional for any one over 4’ tall. The slanted ceiling made it dangerous and difficult to get out of bed. The bathroom was very small with a tiny shelf to hold drinking cups. There were no chairs to sit in, so we sat in the hallway outside our room to read and drink coffee. The room was not large enough to hold a chair, and barely had room for our suitcases. The host was very pleasant and served a good breakfast each morning. The accommodation were clean, but I would never stay there again. The room was extremely overpriced for what we received.
Breakfast was so good, and the staff were very nice! We stayed in the Ullikana house in the Pinecone room. Room was on 3rd floor and small as to be expected by description. Bed was very comfortable, and bathroom had all we needed for overnight stay. Houses are within a short walking distance to downtown shopping area and harbor. We would definitely stay again!
This lovely inn is in a fabulous location. Hidden off the Main Street, yet an easy stroll to all the shops and restaurants. Our room was large and extremely comfortable. (The Thyme room in the cottage). Every morning we had a fabulous breakfast served in a beautiful room full of sunshine from all the windows. Our server, Phoebe, was a delight and very attentive. I would recommend this property if you are going to Bar Harbor.
