Elsa's Inn is a lovey spot for quiet scenic stays - the bed and pillows were lush and the rooms are furnished with beautiful antiques. Staff are super friendly and helpful, they went out of their way to assit me with a small issue. I will return whenever I am in the area.

We stayed for 5 days at Elsa's Inn. If you drive its a ways from Acadia NP, but so close to the one side of the park that no one really ever goes to, Schoodic, its so worth being in Peospect Harbor. It's beautiful. Gail and the family are very nice and helpful. Breakfast was delicious! They allow pets (yellow lab), which was awesome.

A precious lady, Gail, welcomed us to her Inn. She had a full house of 12 to serve as hostess for morning breakfast which was excellent! The second morning was delicious as well. Gail’s daughter was out of town for medical testing for the week, leaving her to carry the load of which she did wonderfully. Our room was clean and comfortable. The only thing that I would recommend would be to tidy up the landscaping. It would improve the exterior of the beautiful Inn. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Elsa’s Inn to the utmost of pleasure. Gail is such a sweet lady with a cute disposition and an amazing cook!

The place was suppose to be 3 miles travel to Bar Harbor. It was 3 miles as the crow flies.. But, there is a ferry to Bar Harbor. To drive to Bar Harbor-its 1 hour 30 minutes. So 3 hours round trip. The Bars and attractions are at Bar Harbor. If you want Quiet. No attractions this is your place.

The outside looked very unkept. Our room had no blinds on the windows which was unusual at night and let the sunrise shine through at 5:30 am.
