This was a wonderful bed-and-breakfast. Plenty of free parking and a stunning waterfront view from our room. Kristi and Matt were amazing hosts and our breakfasts were delicious each morning. They were super friendly and helpful. Very easy to walk to all of the neighborhood restaurants and shopping. A quick 5 to 10 minute drive up Cadillac Mountian for a stunning view. We would love to return when we have time for a longer visit and would most definitely stay here again.

Kristi was good to us. It’s walkable to downtown. Room is cozy and comfortable. Property needs some update to be more of sea theme as cottage feeling.

We LOVED this inn. It's a perfect location--right on the Bay, free parking, and a very close walk to restaurants and shopping. The house is beautiful--the rooms are comfortable, quiet, clean, etc. Breakfast was wonderful--sitting on the deck and having them bring a fresh made meal to you. We will definitely come back again.

We had not visited Bar Harbor before, but found the Saltair Inn and booked it due to all of the great reviews, its waterfront location, and proximity to town. We were simply blown away upon our arrival and during the course of our 4th of July weekend stay. The views are simply outstanding and the photos do not do it justice. The extensive patio area is cool and comfortable and the lawn seating areas are a perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine and take in the breath-taking water views! The service was exceptional and Leigh was so friendly, informative, and helpful throughout our stay. Matt’s breakfasts were unique as well as delicious, and worth a repeat stay on their own! There was ample parking and it is just a few blocks to all of Bar Harbor’s main attractions and restaurants, including Bar Island. We would not hesitate to return here for a repeat stay. The Saltair Inn is truly a hidden gem! Thank you, Leigh and Matt, for making our stay so enjoyable and to the owners, Kristie and Matt for sharing your beautiful Inn. Wayne and Sherry (Houston, TX)

Great Bar Harbor B&B
This is an awesome B&B in a great location, away from all the main crowds of Bar Harbor, but close enough you can walk to everything. The hosts are great and helpful with suggestions of fun things to do and places to eat. I can see why it is always booked out and hard to get a room here. My only criticism, if you are a big guy like me or have a hard time getting around, maybe don't get a room on the third floor, the stairs make it a tight fit getting up there. The room itself, the Cadillac room, was amazing, getting up there was an adventure though (haha)
