Gail was very gracious and made us feel very welcome. We loved sitting on the porch with a view of the harbor. Our room was light and airy with a beautiful cross breeze. Very comfortable stay.

Loved this B&B. It was just what you picture a B&B in the north of Maine should be like. Cozy rooms with baths Floral wallpaper with overstuffed chairs.yet great cable and Wi-Fi. the big front porch with view of lobster boats in the harbor added ambience. Gail,the proprietor, was very attentive and knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast of blueberry pancakes or French toast with fresh whipped cream and strawberries was fabulous! We highly recommend this relaxing place.

Place was very nice. Hotel.com and expedia do not provide accurate location to Bar Harbor Maine. 9 miles across the bay with no bridge and no ferry. It is more like 44 miles and slightly over an hour drive to get to our 6 am drive up Cadillac mtn. Would appreciate hotel.com to provide accurate info on location and not as the crow flies.

Very relaxing in a small, quiet Maine harbor town. Perfect for seeing the coastal area around Prospect Harbor, north of the National Park, or truly Down East in the Maine sense.

Our stay at Elsa's Inn was one of the best B&B experiences we've ever had. Wanting to avoid the typical tourist spots, we found this charming little cottage to be the perfect retreat. It sits right across from a beautiful water body, offering breathtaking sunrises in the morning. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, providing us with great recommendations for local sights and restaurants. The complimentary breakfast was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a cozy, peacefu

Above and beyond
We stayed for 4 nights at Elsa’s. Gail was a wonderful host for many reasons. The room was plenty big for the two of us with a very comfortable bed and normal sized shower. The morning breakfasts and conversation was great. We were just a few miles away from Schoodic point (Acadia NP). WOW! The night before we left, someone hit our car and it was un drivable. Gail drove to where the accident happened, loaded her car with all of our stuff, then drove my wife 30 miles to the nearest urgent care. She certainly went above and beyond what most people would do. We are very grateful to her helping us in a time of need.
