The Best B&B Ever!

We had amazing stay at this B&B. The owner gives detailed info on roundabouts. The breakfast was so good we wanted to stay extra night. Really enjoyed the stay and want to come visit again.

We had such a lovely stay at this bed and breakfast! The hosts were some of the friendliest people we’ve ever met—so welcoming and helpful with tips about Bar Harbor and Acadia. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and made us feel right at home. And we absolutely adored Cookie, their sweet dog—he made the stay even more special. We would definitely come back the next time we’re in the area!

What a beautiful Inn! We stayed in the Yellow Room which was nicely appointed and opened into a charming sitting room. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast and wonderful advice about sightseeing from our hosts. The Inn is away from the bustle of downtown, but close enough to walk. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend a stay at Chiltern Inn.

Lovely overnight stay. Welcomed with wine and cheese. Hosts offered really great recommendations on activities. Location is prime for a scenic walk to town along the ocean! Stayed in Abbott Suite which does not include bfast but was luxurious.

Beautiful B&B, with exceptional renovations and decor. Wonderful room. Owners very friendly and informative about things to do in the area.. Close to village, but far enough to be quiet and private. Nice afternoon wine and cheese, and exceptional breakfasts! Only minor issue was room was not serviced after first night stay. Not a big deal but surprised us. Certainly give this a very strong recommendation.

Great space in Bar Harbor

The room was great, spacious living area. Kitchenette was a great plus (even though we didn’t use it). Only concern I had was how thin the walls were and the creaking floors. Even though that is part of its charm, I prefer not to wake the neighbors when I get up to use the restroom at night.

Weekend Getaway

My first time in Bar Harbor and I think that th Chiltern is perfectly located! It's located close to the entrance of Acadia but it was also very easy to walk into town for dinner each night. Dan was very knowledgeable about the area and recommended some great things to do/see. We did many of them! The breakfasts Joan made each morning were all delicious and you have the option of eating in the dining room or getting room service for this meal. The Inn is beautiful and was lovely to return to each evening. While there are certain things that could be modernized (showerheads), it was comfortable enough that we will be booking here again when we return to the area!

This was our first time staying in a BnB. I’m just not sure that it’s a good fit for us. The house was lovely and had plenty of amenities. The bed was not comfortable and we couldn’t get the AC to a comfortable temperature. We never saw the owners or any staff, not that we were there a lot, but just seemed a little different.
