Lovely property, great location with walking access to all of Bar Harbor. Parking in Bar Harbor is very hard, so having a local lodge was terrific.

Central House was lovely. The chocolate chip cookies and delicious apples were a treat. The proprietor was very kind and helpful. I expected it to be a Bed and Breakfast, however, and was surprised and disappointed that there was no breakfast!
