Beautiful Place, Better Staff!

We really enjoyed our two-night stay here at the Cleftstone Inn - in particular, a big shout-out to the staff, Anita, Marina, and Steffen. They were very helpful and knowledgeable about the Bar Harbor area for restaurants and sightseeing recommendations. Although a short stay for us, we highly recommend staying here if you're going to Bar Harbor and the Acadia National Park!

This was a perfect place to explore, without the hubbub of being downtown. Every person who works here has a smiling face, the woman even called me to make sure I was ok because I hadn’t checked in by 7:45 PM (though the check-in is open till 10 PM). This made me smile after for a long day in the car, and started off my stay on a good foot. Breakfast was yummy, my room was perfect, a really great night sleep. I appreciate the windows opened in the hotel, I would choose my room again in a heartbeat (9) with the only downside being the TV should really be on a swivel as it’s awkwardly mounted flat above a fireplace I would go here in a heartbeat again, I will recommend it to my family

A Perfect Bar Harbor Escape Our stay at Cleftstone Inn was absolutely enchanting. The historic charm of the property, paired with its warm, welcoming atmosphere, made us feel instantly at home. Our room was beautifully appointed and impeccably clean, with thoughtful touches that showed true care for guests. Breakfast each morning was a delight, fresh, flavorful, and served with genuine hospitality. The location was ideal for exploring Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor, yet wonderfully peaceful at night. We left feeling relaxed, pampered, and already dreaming of our return.

Absolutely amazing place to stay.

Absolutely wonderful bed and breakfast to stay at. My wife kept saying it was THE best part of her trip to Maine. Exceptional service from both the host and waitstaff during the gourmet breakfast. VERY comfortable bed that you could be in all day and obviously all night. Delicious breakfast and all day snacks.

Loved it!

We loved our stay at the Clefstone! The staff was so kind, helpful, and available for anything you might need. We loved the fresh afternoon snacks after coming back from hiking each day and fresh coffee in the morning. We stayed in room #1 and it was the perfect size with a very comfy bed. Would love to stay here again!

Staff was very friendly, rooms are clean, and a/c is cold. Location is a quick 5 min drive from the main harbor area. My car got attacked by seagulls when parked at the harbor and the receptionist kindly let me use a hose to wash off my car before the droppings dried.

My husband and I stumbled upon this lovely B&B after roughing it in the Acadia woods. It was a welcome respite. Thoughtfully appointee rooms, delicious breakfast and incredible staff. We enjoyed chatting with Steffan and learning about the history of the Inn. Truly a charming place. It was so charming we decided to stay a 2nd night (totally impromptu). What a special place!
