A perfect location in Bar Harbor. Walk to all shops and restaurants. Great access to Acadia National Park. Phil was an excellent host. Check in/ Check out process was a breeze. Onsite parking. Would highly recommend.
Central House was lovely. The chocolate chip cookies and delicious apples were a treat. The proprietor was very kind and helpful. I expected it to be a Bed and Breakfast, however, and was surprised and disappointed that there was no breakfast!
