I chose the Asticou Inn as I was looking for a Maine venue which would serve as a wonderful destination spot for guests from the South & Northeast. The Asticou Inn proved to be the perfect quaint New England location with great access to Acadia Park, the Azalea gardens, Bar Harbor, etc. But above all, I rank the Asticou so... More

My husband and I got married at the Asticou this past July, and I have nothing but positive things to say about the setting and the staff at the Asticou. We had an outdoor ceremony, and we are still getting comments from guests that the location could not have been more beautiful. The staff, particularly Tom Weverstead, the wedding coordinator...

I stayed three days at Asticou Inn as part of a 6-day trip. I stayed in a room right above the kitchen. Fortunately, the kitchen quieted down after dinner, so I slept well at night. My room had a view of the Northeast Harbor, the large backyard, and the pool. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean. This building... More

What more can one say beyond the title? Outstanding service, an solid (if conventional) menu, clean, light, airy, well-located, peaceful, gorgeous views and gardens... and the Acadia National Park trail system starts, literally, across the street from the front door. In these days of cookie-cutter "boutique" hotels, it is a treat to find a small hotel that is lovingly tended... More

I simply do not understand the negative reviews of this inn. Yes, it is old. Yes, the king size beds are really twins put together. However, the setting is beautiful. The staff is outstanding. The room that we stayed in was spectacular ( 126). The house cat was beautiful. People have to get a life. This place is so far... More

The Asticou Inn is a wonderful place to stay. It is nothing fancy but it is clean, quaint and lovely. The rooms we had were very spacious and the service was fantastic. We had very personal, thoughtful service from several of the staff members. The Inn is located in a great location - very close to the North East Harbor... More

We stayed there in August 2011. We were looking for a place to stay for one night and someone recommended the Asticou. As soon as we heard there was a wedding and a birthday dinner that weekend, we should have left and found another place. It is not that the wedding was loud, but that the hotel cannot accommondate functions... More

This is the real deal. A luxury Maine inn on Mt. Desert Island. Large clean rooms, comfortable beds and great service. Not really a tourist town. This is a get away from it all bedroom community which happens to be adjacent to the pristine Acadia National Park. Staying here is the opposite of staying in Bar Harbor. A place to... More

We were so disappointed in all aspects of our stay at the Asticou. We were expecting a quaint, old-fashonioned Inn (nothing fancy). Instead, we found the facility to be run down. We stayed in one of the cabins which, while it was big, was quite rustic. The outdoor pool was very poorly maintained, with wobbly stairs and rusty ladders. Most... More
