We spent ten remarkable days in Bar Harbor. We stayed at the Bayview and the accommodations, staff and location were just wonderful. The moment you arrive you are greeted by caring people. Your room is beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. Sit on the balcony and watch the beautiful sunsets. The formal dinning room serves a wonderful array of breakfast food... More

We traveled just before peak season to save a few $. Part of our stay was in off season rates and part in prime. Either way the Bayview is well worth the price! Walking through the door alone made me so glad we chose to stay here! Instantly you can see the view of the bay through the dining room.... More

Thank you! Wouldn't it be great if we could control the weather too? I would have rain at night and sunny through the days! It sounds like you had a great time despite or perhaps in spite of the rain. When I think of some of the most popular postcards, they tend to show high surf and fog and they... More

The place was immaculate, rates fair considering you are on water, breakfast very good, rooms large and clean and staff extremely helpful. Might well be best in town. Only other place in competition re view would be Bar Harbor Inn.

What a wonderful place!!! (Based on TripAdvisor Reviews) My husband and I originally reserved a 3 night stay; however, upon arrival we added 3 more nights :) This Inn is absolutely the best place to stay in Bar Harbor. Jocelyn (at the front desk) was right on target with recommendations for dining. She suggested the best places to eat -... More

WOW! Thank you right back for writing such a detailed review about your stay. It is great when guests extend their stay and we can make it work. I know we all appreciated having you here for the six nights too. Every morning it was fun to just watch the guests in the dining room become acquainted with each other... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Bayview. We chose this facility from the reviews and they were right on! The staff couldn't be friendlier or more helpful. The room was large and clean with a nice balcony to sit and enjoy the million dollar view or just rest and relax. The breakfast was very nice and, again, you could... More

Thank you so much for the great review! I am sorry we weren't able to accommodate you in the same room for another night. As I have said before, one night is never enough!

Our last review was in 2010...we've visited there since, in 2011 and now again in 2013. It is great to be able to state that the words of our 2010 review still apply. For the most part, the key members of the staff remain, and the breakfast continues to be a hallmark along with the most comfortable beds and spacious... More

The Bayview is a great place to stay - a beautiful setting, and large, comfortable and clean rooms. The breakfast is wonderful, and everything about the inn is warm and inviting. The staff is uniformly helpful and gracious, going out of their way to assist you. Just a fine place with great people!

We knew this hotel was highly rated by Tripadvisor, but it exceeded our expectations! The view of Frenchman's Bay from our spacious room was spectacular. We had a front row view from our deck of the lobstermen collecting their lobsters in the Bay. The breakfasts were delicious and varied each morning. (We were there 5 days) The staff could not...
