Coastal Maine

We spent a week vacationing along the coast of Maine. We stayed in B+Bs along the way. This property was in a good location in the heart of town. The property was old and had minimal staff and services - all to be expected with a mid-priced B+B. It was a good value for the money and we enjoyed our stay. PS - Maine’s coast is amazing and we had a great vacation in Kennebunkport, Camden and Bar Harbor!

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!

Perfect place to stay in Bar Harbor

Beautiful Inn, centrally located but not noisy, easy walk to harbor, restaurants, shops. Innkeepers were accommodating and friendly. Room was spacious, very comfortable and beautifully decorated. Coffee/tea/water candies and sometimes homemade cookies! Free parking. Relaxing front porch.
