We had a wonderful stay at the Yellow House Inn, it was the perfect place to stay in Bar Harbor. We found it very quiet and comfortable, and the breakfast and happy hour were great. It's only a short walk to dining and shopping in Bar Harbor, or a short drive to Acadia National Park. Very relaxing, we would definitely stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Yellow House. Very close to Main Street, shopping, and dining. Sara, the breakfast, location, and snack/amenities were all fantastic. We did think the price was high for our room, Linzee, which didn’t seem to match the overall aesthetic and quality of the rest of rooms depicted in the photos.

Sara was delightful. The inn is beautiful and our room was spacious! We loved the thoughtful amenities--including hiking snacks, waterproof picnic blankets, and yoga mats. They thought of everything!
Very nice, cozy Inn and friendly staff. Well kept and convenient to restaurants and stores. Breakfast could be a bit more diverse.

Great choice. Beautiful and peaceful, friendly place. Great location - walk to the shore or shops. Loved sitting on the porch. Did not try the fire pit but a nice area was available. Large rooms. Just a great place to recharge your batteries.

This property is just wonderful. Staff and the entire atmosphere is so relaxing. Despite there being several other guests if felt as if you are alone. Staff are wonderful, kind and respectful. The location is right off the main shopping area of Bar Harbor which is convenient. The proximity does nothing but add to the property. It is private and quiet. A few block walk and a bike ride and you are in the park’s carriage roads. The rooms are clean and well appointed. A great trip! We will be back again.

Such a lovely place to stay in Bar Harbor. Tucked away and private yet just one block away from everything. Sara the hostess was very kind and helpful with suggestions for where to go in Acadia NP. It was just perfect!

The innkeeper, Sara, was very accommodating and pleasant. We stayed in the largest room which was very clean and fresh with a great bed. (no tub if that matters) The location was perfect for short walks to and around Bar Harbor and an easy drive to Acadia National Park. The most disappointing part of our stay was breakfast! If you’re looking for a fresh cooked breakfast, this is not the place. Stayed 4 mornings and had Hard Boiled eggs twice and quiche twice. Snacks and drinks were available 24/7. Visited the 1st week in October and this place isn’t cheap. All other areas of the Inn were very comfortable and relaxing. 7/10 rating for us who have visited B&B’s throughout the country.
