Chris, you.. and your staff.. and your property.. and service, were wonderful! Excellent. Thanks for great care, Walker! Serving staff, we enjoyed every breakfast and afternoon treat and juice/drink. Delicious. Concerts in the garden, nice touch. Thank you for all your hospitality. May your business/ cottage continue to thrive, because you serve and host well. We enjoyed and appreciated your personal interaction. Truly a great place to stay. Fantastic room. Cottage right next to the shore, and the shops and dining. Great location and access to Acadia National Park of which we explored as much as we could with our days. This has been a great trip. Great Location. Great National Park...made exceptional with an exceptional cottage. Corwin and Bonnie thank you!!

Wonderful stay here! The place is beautiful and in a perfect location very close to everything in town. Chris, the innkeeper, is a gem of a person with great local recommendations. The breakfast is also amazing and the hotel had lots of little touches, like snacks and desserts in the afternoon, to make it that much more inviting. Highly recommend!!

This is a beautifully decorated and comfortable BnB in a historic manor house. Walkable location on the edge of town center, near harbor and 3 blocks from Village Green and Acadia shuttle base . The owner and staff are welcoming and very helpful while the breakfast choices were always delicious. Afternoon live music in garden was a relaxing touch. Our room was spacious and bed comfortable. Well worth price!

The location was perfect to be able to walk around downtown. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and kept up. My only complaint would be that the live music was just a lady, nice but, doing karaoke with a bad speaker system. We were looking forward to some drinks and relaxing with maybe some accoustic or light band. Super disappointed in the karaoke and talked to other guest the next morning that felt the same. Oh the breakfast was delicious.

I cannot say enough about this property! From the amazing staff, to the fine details, this is hands down one of my favorite places we’ve stayed…EVER! I loved that gf breakfast was an automatic option. The room was so spacious, and decorated with so much care. Chris, the owner talked to us at breakfast, and is so down to earth. He’s got a great thing going, and we’ll be back for sure!!!

We had an amazing stay! The property was beautiful, exceptionally clean, and exactly as described. Everything was well maintained, and it made for a very comfortable and relaxing experience. What truly made our stay exceptional was the staff. Every person we interacted with was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely eager to help. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and always greeted us with a smile. Their outstanding hospitality made us feel valued and at home throughout our visit. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would gladly stay here again. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay with exceptional service!

We had an amazing two-night stay in the Down East King Room at Sand Bar Cottage while celebrating our anniversary. We were welcomed with sparkling wine and chocolate-covered strawberries, which was such a thoughtful touch. Chris, the owner, made a point to welcome us personally, and every staff member we met was incredibly friendly and hospitable. Breakfast both mornings was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The location couldn't have been better. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to do in Bar Harbor, including crossing the sandbar to the island at low tide. We also loved relaxing by the fire pits in the evenings while enjoying the live music. If you're visiting Bar Harbor or exploring Acadia National Park and Cadillac Mountain, I highly recommend staying at Sand Bar Cottage. It was the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion, and we can't wait to return!

I can’t imagine going back to Bar Harbor and not staying here again. It was just perfect. The entire property was amazing. Our room was spacious and clean. The food was delicious. The staff was as friendly and helpful as could be. The property is in a Perfect location so we never moved our car. We walked everywhere. An added bonus was the live music in the evening. The yard was lit up with twinkle lights and we were offered drinks as soon as we sat down. I can’t recommend this place enough. 10 out of 10!!!

I vacationed in Bar Harbor with my husband and grown daughter. The Inn exceeded all my expectations. The house is lovely, comfortable and in a perfect location. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. We had breakfast on the porch each morning and treats at tea time each day, I’ve really missed that since returning home. The breakfast was THE BEST! We were on the go a lot but did get to enjoy the music in the garden one evening. I had a wonderful time and hope to return someday.

Fantastic FULL breakfast—coffee, tea, juice, muffins, and a gourmet entree each morning. Our room was in the back “secondary” house on the second floor. The location was great, very walkable to town. Loved the live music on Friday and Saturday nights in the garden. We would definitely return!

Kathleen • Couple Trip

This is a charming place to stay in the picturesque Bar Harbor area. We were there for four nights. The room was fantastic, clean, spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. The real winning touches here are the little details and efforts made by the staff. A fireplace that often has a welcoming fire, tea time complimentary cakes and punch, scrumptious breakfasts, and an occasional offer of live music out on the grounds. I would recommend this place for anyone who is hoping to catch that B & B/independent old inn kind of vibe during their stay in Bar Harbor.

Lovely main inn building with beautiful furnishings and a wonderful breakfast, coffee, tea and beverages and treats. We stayed in the "Cottage" out back and our room was spacious and comfortable. Fireplace, sitting area with tv...It was a quiet and peaceful space. Large hot tub in our room was very nice.
