Had planned on staying 2 nights but ended up staying 4. We had the Ocean View room overlooking the lawn and the bay. The room was spacious and clean, the bed was great. The breakfasts were gourmet and big. But the reason to stay at the Birches is the folks that have you as their guest, Dick, Susi, Michael, and... More

Spent 4 nights at Birches and had a wonderful stay. Very friendly helpful staff and owner and outstanding location. Great breakfasts overlooking the lovely gardens. Also, easy to get into town and other areas on the island. Just a couple suggestions - a wall mirror in the Ocean View room and more electrical outlets!

The Birches is absoutely wonderful!! Everything that we expected.... and more..Susi, Dick and Mike helped us to feel that we were "home"..

Views are incredible, a nice hike to Flying Mountain is just down the road (no need to get... More

we are so happy to have spent some of our time in Maine at The Birches. Everything was perfect. The owner, Susie, made sure all of our needs were met, and that all of our expectations for touring the island were fulfilled. The birches tops our list of favorite B&B's

We thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend the Birches (although we do not want to jeopardize our chances to return!) A beautiful location, gracious and fun hosts and a very comfortable place to stay. We did not want to leave. We will return, hopefully many, many times.

The Birches is one of those unique inns that has somehow remained a secret. I had researched where the best place on Mount Desert Island would Be to go for peace and to serve as a base for exploring Acadia. When my wife and I arrived for a four night stay last month, we knew we had found it. This... More

Visiting a B&B in Maine was on our bucket list and staying at the Birches was the perfect choice. Being from the Midwest where friendliness is valued, we were charmed by the Down east hospitality and love shown by Susi, Dick, their friends, and staff. The ocean view from our bedroom windows awed us. We loved the spacious, home-like accommodations... More

Warm and friendly approach by the proprieters. Delicious and ample breakfasts. Amazing view and comfortable seating on the lawn. Enjoyed all interactions with other visitors. Many books to peruse. Lots of helpful visitor brochures.
