The Inn is an amazing spot to stay in Bar Harbor. Dak and Sarah are very welcoming and accommodating hosts, welcoming you to your room and making sure you have everything you need. The rooms are very nice and clean. The breakfasts were very good and well prepared. If willing, there is a walk down to the rocky oceanfront that’s definitely worth seeing. It is relatively convenient to Bar Harbor proper, and both Sarah and Dak provide great recommendations. I highly recommend!

The Inn at Bay Ledge is an incredible place to stay if you're looking for a home base for an Acadia NP/Bar Harbor vacation. The rooms are cozy, the breakfast is delicious and the location is breathtaking. There is Internet but no TV. But who needs TV in a place with so much to do!? We would definitely stay here again

Lovely inn with absolutely stunning views. Close enough to Arcadia and the waterfront for easy access while getting away and decompressing from active days. Food was great. Inn owners are outstanding. Highly recommend.

It was a delightful stay away from our busy lives. Dax and Sarah have a beautiful inn that reflect a quiet, peaceful place. The views of the Bay from the rocky ledge, the beach and our balcony were amazing. Everyday we had different breakfast and snack options that were made by Dax and tasted delightful. Sarah, Dax, and Levi were all very welcoming to us. It was nice to be "away" from the busy bustle of downtown Bar Harbor, but close enough that it was a few minutes drive to get to places around town. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we hope to come to Bar Harbor again in the future to experience the serenity of the town and your Inn. :-)

We LOVED our stay here. We stayed in one of the cottages, it is massive! Got to sit on the porch and watch lovely wildlife. We to the main house across the street and enjoyed the private beach. Very close to Bar Harbor but away enough to not have to deal with the crowds. Breakfast was fantastic and Dax and Sarah were kind and accommodating. Please book this you will not regret it.
