    A bit dated but has everything you need for a good stay. Cheryl, who runs the place is super and the breakfasts are excellent.

    Amazing location, beautiful room, fabulous breakfasts

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    I was blown away by the staff at the Elmhurst Inn. They went above and beyond in making us feel welcome. We had the Cadillac Room, which I highly recommend. It was huge with a nice size bathroom and a sitting room off to the side. The breakfast that was provided was delicious. And they had so many helpful tips to activities and places to eat. I can’t say enough about this place.

    Sweet little gem tucked in a calm street with trees and yard space to make you feel nestled but still easy walking distance from all the stores and restaurants. Stayed in the Echo Lake suite and it was perfect for me and my 2 daughters. Safe, clean. Terrific breakfasts and innkeeper is super kind. Would highly recommend.

    Breakfast was great

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The morning breakfast was very nice with two hot options each day as well as home-baked banana or pumpkin bread, which were absolutely delicious. The Inn manager, Cheryl, is very kind, helpful and delightful!

    The in-house made breakfast as many other comments mentioned is indeed a feature of the hotel and a must-try. The location of the hotel is about 5-10 min walk from the downtown Bar Harbor. Parking in Bar Harbor is a nightmare, so if you plan to spend some time exploring downtown Bar Harbor, this is the right place to stay.

    The TV was hard to figure out, but that was not why was there

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    The rooms and breakfast out in the sunroom were nice. The TV was hard to figure out, but that was not why was there

    The breakfast was exceptional. So delicious and lovely. The innkeeper was so amazing, I felt like I was visiting a distant family member's home.

    What a WONDERFUL stay at this historic inn. Cheryl (I am sorry if I misspelled your name!) was an AMAZING host-the breakfast was amazing-the conversations were wonderful and it was truly a great experience. Cannot recommend enough

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Cheryl was an amazing host and the other employees were all lovely as well. Breakfast was always delicious with so much attention to detail. Truly could not say anything bad about our stay here

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Location is perfect because you are in walking distance of Bar Harbor, yet you are away from all the crowds. Also, the entry to Acadia park is very close. The breakfasts served are phenomenal and the host is very accommodating and knowledgeable about the area! Nothing!!!

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    breakfast. Also, there is a big porch with several armchairs, where we sat in the evening having a tea. Our room was very clean. Even so the room is not big, but it was very comfortable. The only thing we didn't like that we stood just 3 nights and not more :-)

    Service was amazing! Very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely go back!
