Cute little place with a comfortable bed and nice shower. Gorgeous views over the water across the street. The room had a microwave and fridge but both were tiny: fridge was big enough for a few sodas or beers. Towels smelled strongly of mildew. The washer needs a seasonal cleaning. Breakfast sounded amazing from the reviews and was a major factor in picking this place, but it’s only served starting at 8 and I had to leave for a meeting both mornings before that. I was offered coffee and toast, which was not quite the full breakfast that I’d been so excited about.

We loved everything about our stay. Gail was very personable and made sure we had everything we needed. The breakfast was amazing! Room overlooked the harbor. You could watch the fishing boats and sunrise right from your room. Perfect place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of life.

The entire area of the Schoodic Peninsula is a unique, welcome break from busy Acadia. Gail, our host, was a pleasure to talk to, providing us with interesting history and information of the area. The breakfasts were delicious! My only suggestion would be to consider replacing the mattress, or at least flip or rotate them, as ours was uneven and less comfortable than we would have liked. Otherwise, a wonderful place to stay that I would still recommend!
