We had the most amazing time at the Inn at Bay Ledge. Everything was well-appointed and beautifully decorated. Our room was very comfortable and clean, was a great view of the water. We enjoyed walking right down to the water from our room. The Inn is an easy 10 minute drive into town. Dax and Sarah were very kind and knowledgeable, and made the best breakfasts we could've imagined. We will be coming back the first chance we get!

Amazing place to stay. The minute we arrived we felt very welcome and the owners are super friendly. Room was very peaceful and relaxing. The cookies were incredible as well as breakfast. We stayed for our anniversary and will be back. We are Mainers and usually go to Bar Harbor multiple times a year. It’s nice to stay outside of town and avoid the crowds . Thanks !!

The Inn is an amazing spot to stay in Bar Harbor. Dak and Sarah are very welcoming and accommodating hosts, welcoming you to your room and making sure you have everything you need. The rooms are very nice and clean. The breakfasts were very good and well prepared. If willing, there is a walk down to the rocky oceanfront that’s definitely worth seeing. It is relatively convenient to Bar Harbor proper, and both Sarah and Dak provide great recommendations. I highly recommend!

The Inn at Bay Ledge is an incredible place to stay if you're looking for a home base for an Acadia NP/Bar Harbor vacation. The rooms are cozy, the breakfast is delicious and the location is breathtaking. There is Internet but no TV. But who needs TV in a place with so much to do!? We would definitely stay here again
