The main attraction for us was the property location near all in Bar Harbor. It's an older facility and most amenities are rustic, a throw back to long ago. Parking is included which is nice. The room size was spacious, which was nice for our 3 nights stay .

The staff was phenomenal!!! Friendly, helpful, and gave great recommendations about food and activities. The location was very convenient to downtown Bar Harbor, and it was a 5-10 walk to lots of shops and restaurants. Most of Acadia was less than a 15 minute drive. There was free parking onsite. Breakfast was delicious. The house is older, but very cute. We would definitely stay here again!

You don't want to stay anywhere else in Bar Harbor. The Inn is CHARMING beyond belief. You feel as though you've traveled back in time. The rooms are spacious; ours had a sitting space to watch TV, a very comfy bed, and plenty of space to put your luggage and spread out. The location is right in the middle of everything, a short walk down a block to the main streets and waterfront. Andrew is a fabulous and engaging host. The breakfasts are gourmet and the company was wonderful. AND...there are convenient parking spaces, which is a big amenity in the parking-challenged Bar Harbor. Fantastic.

Thornhedge & Stratford are 2 beautiful properties with friendly and helpful staff who will make your stay in Bar Harbor memorable! Coffee, Tea, Distilled Water and fresh baked treats are available all day, and wine and cheese is served at tea time. Breakfast is absolutely amazing! There is a different entree each morning served with fruit, fresh baked goods, juice, coffee and the host will help you wrap some up to take on your adventures later in the day! Looking forward to staying again!

We just got back from Thornhedge Inn and honestly, it might be the best place we’ve ever stayed. Jeff, the innkeeper, made the whole trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area — gave us a leftover Acadia National Park pass, pointed us to the best bars and restaurants in town, and even set us up with a killer food recommendation for our next stop in Portland, Maine (we just got back and it was some of the best food we’ve ever had — that’s how good his instincts are). The inn itself is a perfect blend of old and new: vintage and quaint in the best way, unlike anywhere else we’ve stayed, but with the comfort and amenities of a modern luxury hotel. Breakfast alone is worth the stay. One morning we had a beautifully made omelette, the next a crème brulee French toast — the kind of spread you’d pay $40+ a person for at a posh brunch spot, except it was served in the most gorgeous dining room, sitting alongside other travelers swapping stories about their trips. The location is ideal too — about 3 blocks from the main drag and 7 minutes from Acadia, but just far enough removed that you can sit on the porch with a cup of coffee in the morning without the mad dash of Main Street passing by. 10/10 can’t recommend enough, we will be back!
