We offer some of the best oceanside views of Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island. Located in Southwest Harbor near the southern entrance to Somes Sound, the only natural fjord on the eastern US coast, you will treasure the panoramic landscape of mountains, ocean, and harbor yachts.

Our historic oceanside inn will give you the feeling that you have been transported to a simpler time and place with its nautical theme, period antiques, and mariner appointments such as finely detailed ship models, maps, and tools.

Relax along the shore, have a BBQ, cook some marshmallows over the open fire, or take your shoes off and walk in the water. We have bikes for your enjoyment or you may take some boating or sailing lessons through Mansell Boat Rentals located on the same property. If experienced, you may rent larger craft to get a closer view of Bear Island Lighthouse or visit some out-islands.
