A truly magical place! Enjoy a panoramic view of the water and mountains from the rooftop deck. A delicious and well stocked breakfast every morning downstairs and plenty of areas to sit and relax around the property. Take the path down to the water and enjoy listening to the waves. Plenty of great establishments around to have drinks and great food. 👍

Rooms were very clean, decently sized and located in a beautiful area but nearly an hour drive from the main section of Acadia National Park. Breakfast was acceptable but fairly limited. Property had a small hot tub and small sauna but both were only usable for possibly four people at a time so amenities were limited. Stairs up to the rooms did not appear to be in code and were steep so difficult to get the luggage up the stairs.

A very nice Inn that felt like a B&B. I am used to Marriott and Hilton properties and this was a nice break from those. The Inn has a beautiful view. I enjoyed drinking my morning coffee on the patio and my family went into the hot tub at night. The breakfast options were simple but good enough to hold us over for a few hours. The rooms were also simple but clean and comfortable. OVerall, we had a great experience.

Amazing place! The views from the living room and terrace can't be compared to anything else. The inn is so quiet and peaceful, and the guests are taken care of so well; it's been such a great experience. Awesome coffee in the morning, too!

I was charged a $50.00 \"facility's\" fee and I'm curious as to want facilities they mean. There are no TV's, no in room fridge, no ice ( there was a ice machine that uses a big water bottle placed in the top, which was empty), a small common fridge in the lobby and very limited internet. I stayed 4 days and only saw someone cleaning a room and he was able to get me ice, a trash bag and gave me the code for the guest closet that has linens and things in it. How you are supposed to get stuff out when you don't have the code, I don't know. The last day as I was leaving there was a staff person in the lobby who was very nice. The place itself was lovely, comfortable, well decorated, had comfortable beds and was a nice distance from anything else making it nice and private. I arrived late and it was concerning that the front door is not locked and there is no staff to monitor who comes in and out. The woman on the last day did tell me that it was recently bought by new owners and that they plan to update things like the Tv's in rooms and better internet.I would stay there again if they fixed these things as I was trying to work from there and had to go elsewhere to get online. Again, lovely place but needs some staff, and updates.

Clean, quiet, private cabin with water view. I liked the ease of check-in (we were assigned a code to enter the cabin). We received assorted texts for special hikes, scenic locations and restaurants nearby which we found helpful. The only suggestion is to put a dresser and luggage rack (we had to put our bags / suitcases on the floor). Could also use more hooks. Overall, a wonderful stay. Thank you!

We were looking for places around Bar Harbor to stay, and this did not disappoint. It’s an hour away, but honestly, we liked it better than being in the town. The space was much higher quality than even the pictures show. Very clean, quaint, with great amenities and a view you can’t beat. Plus the owners send texts with recommendations and have an amazing guest book. We had everything we needed and more.

Quaint cabin that served our needs very well. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets while overlooking the bay and the use of the deck chairs in the morning while sipping coffee. Would have been nice to have a few more k-cups for the first morning, but cleaning staff did get us more for the rest of our stay. Our only complaint is that the access road into the property is badly in need of being graded or have the potholes filled, other than that, we enjoyed the area and the cabin very much!

Amazing setting with a great view of the ocean. Cabin was in excellent condition, very clean with a great wood cabin vibe. The whole process of checking in was seamless. The staff stayed in communication and all we needed was the code for the door. Very comfortable bed, and a heater was provided which worked great. Would definitely stay here again.

The staff went out of their way to make sure I was enjoying my stay. When I asked for herbal tea but there was none to be had, the hostess went to the market and bought some for me. Another hostess provided a sheet of rainy day activities on a day when the weather was not cooperating. The location to the scenic loop, the charming shops in Winter Harbor, and the lovely places to eat made this a perfect place to stay. It is a simple room, with no tv but it was very comfortable and very clean. Also, be aware that there is no elevator and only steep steps to the upstairs rooms. All in all a wonderful stay.

Clean cabin, but very cold the evening we were there and I didnt want to get up and connect the heater. The mattress was too soft and the pillow too big.

Place was clean, views were outstanding but we didn’t see anyone until the next day. Also (this may have been operating error but) we thought we were in a cabin but ended up in the lodge… they did give good recommendations for breakfast, dinner and Schoodic loop…

Loved the view from our cabin until another car came and parked next to their cabin, which was what they are supposed to do. Would have loved a small fire pit next to the cabin however, I’m sure it’s a liability issue. Because it is a self check in, we were unclear as to the use of the main building. I should have asked… The owners communicated some awesome points of interest, via text, throughout our stay which was wonderful! My reason for 4 stars is it was a lot of money in my opinion.

Clean and spacious room. They could use some basics in the room, though, like hooks or rods for towels in the bathroom, a bit larger fridge, another mirror (the bathroom vanity is very small and the only mirror is above it - doesn’t work well for two) and an bed that doesn’t squeak each time one person rolls over.

1 star stay

We stayed in a cabin for 3 nights Hotel information stated there was no breakfast available. We were only given enough coffee packs, filters and cups for 2 days. I went to the “inn” to see if i could find some and saw a sign saying breakfast 7-10. When i asked why we were never told about breakfast or coffee being available, despite having multiple email communications with the management, they had no answer. Personally I don’t think they told the people staying in the cabins because they didn’t want us to know because I didn’t want us to use it because I didn’t wanna pay for it. Clearly, only the people in the end actually knew about it.
They do not supply any toiletries and no amenities. Absolutely not worth the money and definitely not a five star stay.

The view

Well, its the view ....amazing. staying here is all about nature but if you want a restaurant be prepared to drive at least a half hour and if its a Monday or Tuesday, well you can fast.
We were in the chickadee room. Its large, comfy beds and sofa. Small bathroom. The walls are thin and the people upstairs you hear every word and every footstep.
The breakfast is critical as there is nothing else around. But after a couple of days of bagels and muffins you want some real hot breakfast food.
Its pricey, but then the Bar Harbor area is all about freeing you from your money.
You will enjoy your stay, we did.

We stayed in the Cranberry Room in the main inn, which was comfortable and spacious. The beds being across the large room from each other give a sense of individual space, ideal for friends traveling together. The bathroom with shower was small but adequate. The wrap-around deck/balcony has a great view of the water and small islands below, and we had one of the most the most spectacular sunset views we’ve ever seen during our stay. Large windows in the common area of the inn also overlook the water. The host was easily reachable when we had a problem with the code on our door keypad at self-check-in, and also texted several great suggestions for places to see, local dining, etc. Great for a vacation destination or a weekend getaway.

Ocean view ( from far ) but still beautiful - nice cabins, everything included - BUT it said breakfast included when I booked from hotel.com , after I booked I was sent a note that there was no breakfast at the time of year I was going. I was a bit upset because I booked it to have breakfast included - all in all a good stay

Our stay at Bluff House Inn was cozy and relaxing. Self-check-in was simple with clear instructions sent by message, and the cabin itself was very cute and welcoming. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the whole place had a quiet charm that made it easy to unwind. The view was more of the woods than the ocean, but still beautiful and peaceful. Breakfast was basic with prepackaged items and hard-boiled eggs, but the coffee station was wonderful—we found ourselves going back several times just for that.

On the downside, the cabin had no closet or shelving, only a small bench with limited storage, which made a week-long stay with two people inconvenient since we had to live out of our luggage. The Wi-Fi router in the room had a bright blue light right above the bed that made it harder to sleep. There are also no staff members on site, so if you need anything, you have to call a third-party number for assistance. While it worked, it gave less of a sense of security knowing no one was physically around. Our room didn’t have a microwave, though one was available at the main inn. The first night, there were no utensils or cups for the ramen they sell, which was frustrating, but by the next night, it had been restocked.

Overall, it was a quiet and comfortable stay with a lot of charm, but with a few adjustments to storage, on-site support, and small details, it could be even better.

There are plenty of food restaurants on Highway 1 that are delicious. White Harbor is a beautiful place with nice dining. We would definitely recommend staying with the Bluff House. It was awesome and I would do it again.

Left 6:30 & the park was pretty empty until 11 am. 2nd day explored Schoodic part of Acadia (down the road/close by). Great continental breakfast. I would definitely stay here again!

Overall it was a good experience.
This is a place to disconnect, unplug and be still after a day of not being still.

Staff is only there during breakfast hours. Which led to guests having to explain to the newcomers the check in process. Which is basically cause people just don't read. One guy deleted every text thinking it was spam.
Continental breakfast.The family style of everyone and their children touching communal butter, cream cheese, pb and jelly was a little off-putting.

Be aware that there are no room TVs. The provided toiletries are in the form of a 3 in 1 soap. You will need to climb stairs with very small and deep steps of you stay in the inn.

Grocery stores are not nearby, so come prepared.. If you drive by Ellsworth... That's where you need to stop.

The view is amazing and everyone was nice. Plenty of space to just sit and enjoy the view.
I stayed in the inn rooms not the cabins.

Beautiful cabin. View from the cabin is breathtaking. If you want to avoid all touristy crowd from Main Street and relax and unwind, this is your place. Stuff are good. Breakfast is a plus. Only downside is the distance from bar harbor town. If you won’t mind driving an hour, this place is highly recommended.

Amazingly beautiful but no service if needed

The hotel, the rooms and the view are absolutely breathtaking. If you're looking for peace, quiet and beauty this is it. The reasons my rating isn't 5 stars are as follows. Hotels.com says this is 6 miles from Bar Harbor. This is true as the crow flies but that is by boat. It is a 50-minute drive, however. I felt betrayed at first but the I fell in love with the place. I wanted dinner when I got there and dining within driving distance was scarce. It was very hot for the area and there was a portable a/c in the room, however it was not vented out (could not be vented out those kind of windows). Not realizing this, I turned it on and went to watch the sunset. The room was almost 90 degrees when I got back. It was blowing cold air out the front and VERY hot air out the back. Also, the very small ice machine was broken and full of water. Since the only staff we saw the whole visit was the person putting out breakfast at 7am there was no recourse and no way to get any ice or cool air in my room. Luckily it was cool enough and beautiful enough that I sat outside for another hour with the room windows open and the fan on high until it was cool enough in there to fall asleep.

We enjoyed our stay and the spectacular views. The cabin was cozy and well kept. The staff was very responsive and polite. My suggestions would be for a small microwave (couldn't reheat leftovers), comfortable chair inside the cabin and maybe an inside door lock to secure the door. Enjoyed Bar Harbor and small venues locally.

Loved the property — it was clean, well-maintained, and offered a stunning sunset view. However, it’s not very baby-friendly. The kitchen area was extremely small, making it difficult to even prepare quick meals for a baby. The garbage bin was also quite limited, which became an issue for disposing of baby diapers during our 3-day stay.

We had booked the property assuming on-demand cleaning services were available (as listed on Expedia), but since it’s a self-serve apartment, there was no support on-site. When we contacted the operator through the number provided, we were informed that no cleaning services were available before checkout.

Except for service, I would say its definitely a nice place to stay especially if you are not traveling with baby.
