Superb in every way...
My Husband and I stayed here for one short night in November/08. We only wish our visit could have been longer! I'll break this review up in categories, so it's easier to follow.
THE INNKEEPERS: We were warmly greeted by Natalie upon walking in. We met Jeff a bit later, but did not see him much after. He was very friendly as well. When you talk to Natalie, you will understand more and more how artistic and talented she is in many areas. She has painted a few of the pictures you will see in the common areas, and her cooking is absolutely superb. We would also like to applaud Jeff and Natalie for running a professional B&B while still raising a 1 1/2 year old child successfully. Their baby, Jack, was very sweet and polite! Jeff and Natalie manage to take care of him while still focusing 100% on their guests and their needs. This is a talent in itself!
THE ROOM:We stayed in the Tavern suite. It was very large! Please see the pictures in this review to see what it looks like. The fireplace was a nice welcome from the cold. The room was positively spotless. We couldn't even find one hair in the corner of the bathroom! The towels were fresh and smelled great. There was a nice basket with their own brand of soap, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. They made our hair smell great! We also appreciated the refrigerator in the room. The temperature was just perfect all night. We never were cold or hot.
THE FOOD: We were welcomed by a fresh baked apple pie upon our arrival. There is always a plentiful assortment of coffees, teas, sodas, and water. The breakfast was out of this world. Please see our picture of it as well. We started out with fresh juices and coffee. The first course was their famous blueberry fritters w/ fresh, warmed maple syrup. The second course was vanilla yogurt with a fresh raspberry swirl, along with chunks of fresh raspberries. The third course was a homemade belgian waffle with Maine berry compote and fresh whipped cream. Everything was DELECTIBLE!!!
LOCATION: Close to Bar Harbor, and Acadia National Park. What else could you want?
THE INN: Spotless, classy decor, fireplace, games available for your enjoyment, wooden floors.
ALL IN ALL: We HIGHLY recommend that you stay here. We felt their winter rates were very reasonable for all that we got. We stayed at two bed and breakfasts while in Bar Harbor. The other bed and breakfast was $20 more expensive, and still paled in comparison to the Coach Stop Inn. Our room was only $85 for the night here. We could not ask for anything more. If we come back, there is no doubt that we would pick this B&B over all others.
