Early September I took a weeklong trip and stayed in Elizabeth’s room at Elsa’s. To say it was the perfect choice is an understatement! The property was gorgeous, the room was sweet and cozy and had the perfect view of the harbor (across the street!) The inn keepers were so warm, kind and helpful. And they make THE BEST breakfast. They even wrote me a card on my birthday, it was a solo trip for my 30th and it was so thoughtful and special. The location- did I mention there is a harbor across the street? Right by Acadia, the drives to everything are gorgeous and there are so many perfect little local spots to eat at right up the road. Will definitely be coming back

The entire area of the Schoodic Peninsula is a unique, welcome break from busy Acadia. Gail, our host, was a pleasure to talk to, providing us with interesting history and information of the area. The breakfasts were delicious! My only suggestion would be to consider replacing the mattress, or at least flip or rotate them, as ours was uneven and less comfortable than we would have liked. Otherwise, a wonderful place to stay that I would still recommend!

The location was excellent, however the cleanliness of our room was poor. Hadn’t been cleaned or dusted and coffee machine was unusable. Overall very disappointed as previous reviews were so positive.

We loved everything about our stay. Gail was very personable and made sure we had everything we needed. The breakfast was amazing! Room overlooked the harbor. You could watch the fishing boats and sunrise right from your room. Perfect place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of life.

Enjoyable stay
We had such a lovely stay at this cozy B&B. A great base location to see the less busy and beautiful Schoodic Peninsula and points North East up the coast. Room was clean and comfortable. Gail, Jessica and Ryan were wonderful hosts and served delicious breakfasts that were well planned and presented well. They definitely put their hearts into making a memorable experience for their guests. Location across street from the lobster boat harbor and nearby lighthouse offer some quaint views and memorable sunrise, golden hour and blue hour photo ops.
