Our stay at Bluff House Inn was cozy and relaxing. Self-check-in was simple with clear instructions sent by message, and the cabin itself was very cute and welcoming. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the whole place had a quiet charm that made it easy to unwind. The view was more of the woods than the ocean, but still beautiful and peaceful. Breakfast was basic with prepackaged items and hard-boiled eggs, but the coffee station was wonderful—we found ourselves going back several times just for that. On the downside, the cabin had no closet or shelving, only a small bench with limited storage, which made a week-long stay with two people inconvenient since we had to live out of our luggage. The Wi-Fi router in the room had a bright blue light right above the bed that made it harder to sleep. There are also no staff members on site, so if you need anything, you have to call a third-party number for assistance. While it worked, it gave less of a sense of security knowing no one was physically around. Our room didn’t have a microwave, though one was available at the main inn. The first night, there were no utensils or cups for the ramen they sell, which was frustrating, but by the next night, it had been restocked. Overall, it was a quiet and comfortable stay with a lot of charm, but with a few adjustments to storage, on-site support, and small details, it could be even better.

The cabin was awesome, the sunsets amazing. It was nice having our own space, would have liked to have a bigger shower but it worked. Everything you need is pretty close. There are plenty of food restaurants on Highway 1 that are delicious. White Harbor is a beautiful place with nice dining. We would definitely recommend staying with the Bluff House. It was awesome and I would do it again.

Great place to get away

Quiet clean cabins away from the crowds of Acadia. Close to several restaurants and good hiking trails. About an hour away from the main part of the park- and its crowds. Very comfortable.

Fantastic place to stay. Amazing sunsets, an outdoor patio to eat breakfast & look at the water. We went to Acadia/Bar Harbor in the morning & it was about an hour drive. Left 6:30 & the park was pretty empty until 11 am. 2nd day explored Schoodic part of Acadia (down the road/close by). Great continental breakfast. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful property. We stayed in a cabin. Close to the Schoodic part of Arcadia National Park. Really great restaurants nearby. The continental breakfast was ok. I would bring some food next time. We enjoyed our visit and would stay here again.
