The Elmhurst Inn

This was our first time staying at a bed & breakfast and honestly, we absolutely loved our stay! The place was very convenient in terms of the location as there were many places walking distance for food options. We were also greeted by Cheryl upon checking in and she gave us a quick tour of the place to get familiarized. She was very welcoming and a great host. I think if it weren’t for her, it wouldn’t have been as cozy and charming. The room we stayed was very cozy and spacious enough for us. It even had its own chimney/fireplace for which we were able to use the first night and light up a log that they had placed for us. The beds were pretty comfortable and it felt as if we were staying at a family’s home of how cozy it was. My favorite part of the stay was waking up each day around 8 am to the smell of breakfast. It smelled so good all the way up to the room and it was just delightful being able to wake up to fresh, home made breakfast. They served two options of breakfast each day from 8-9:30am. The food was delicious and honestly made our stay much better. Their coffee was amazing as well. We really could’ve sat enough about this place and would return in a heartbeat.

Cheryl was a wonderful host, great recommendations on things to do and places to eat. In off season outside of Bar Harbor many places are closed. Elmhurst is easy walk to great restaurants, favorites were Brassiere Le Brun and Havana. Also the Abbe Museum (10 min walk from Elmhurst) is a world class museum which explores the history and culture of the Wabanaki, Maine's native people.

Cheryl was a fantastic hostess! Everything was great - great food, great room, great location, and great stay!

Charming, comfortable, quiet B&B in Bar Harbor. Great location - about a 5-10 min walk from Main St and close to the sand bar. Grocery store half a block away for snacks and drinks. Cheryl is an amazing host with excellent suggestions accommodating our every request and providing excellent restaurant suggestions. The room was spacious and the sheets were the most comfortable we have ever slept in! Amazing shower with great water pressure. Even the towels were nice - no thin white hotel towels in sight. The hot 3 course breakfast every morning was very good and a great way to start our day.

The Staff was very knowledgeable about places to go, places to eat and things to do. They were very friendly but not over the top. The breakfasts were great with two choices that were able to satisfy both my wife and me. The room was perfect and had a little sitting room that was perfect for reading and talking.

We enjoyed at wonderful stay at the Elmhurst. Carol was extremely helpful and made sure that all our needs were met. I highly recommend a stay at the Inn.

Excellent, charming, easy place to stay. The host was welcoming and shared many local recs. Walkable to all in Bar Harbor, we did Acadia without a car and able to do it from this location. Very cute and would stay again. Excellent breakfast too! Made special changes for gluten free breakfast too.

Very convenient with quaint rooms and a very friendly and informative hostess.

Whole experience was excellent! "Aunt" Cheryl, as the Inn keeper likes to be called, couldn't have done enough for you. The day we left, she packed an egg sandwich, bananas and coffee cake for our ride home. The breakfasts were delicious! If I had to complain about anything, it would be the A/C was noisy. We would return in a heartbeat.
