Inn at Ullikana

I have visited Bar Harbor many times and admired the Inn at Ullikana, but never been able to make a reservation until this spring. I recommend it highly. The rooms are lovely (but vary considerably in size, with the smallest rather claustrophobic). The hospitality is outstanding. Breakfast distinguishes Ullikana from other inns. Each one was superb! We will stay here again.

We enjoy going to Bar Harbor, ME every year and when we do we stay at the Inn at Ullikana. The inn keepers are wonderful, breakfasts amazing and the rooms are unique and immaculate.

We stayed two nights, first in room 2 and the second in room three. Room 2 was small but cozy and room 3 was amazing! The wood fireplace and large windows made the room. The service was exceptional, Roy and Helene made us feel right at home. Wine and cheese in the afternoon and a gourmet breakfast. The weather didnt quite cooperate with us, but the we had an amazing time! will definitely return!

Roy and Helene are the perfect hosts. The house is fantastic and perfectly located. Walk to the center of town in one minute - but the location is very quiet. Multiple visits - we'll do it again.

For the fifth time in twelve years, our stay at the Ullikana was perfect! The breakfasts were delicious. All of the services provided by Roy and Helene were done so cheerfully and professionally - making us feel more like friends than guests. The inn itself has no shortcomings and is the epitomy of comfort and cleanliness. Even the other guests seem to be friendlier and more interesting than at other B & B's. The Ullikana is ALWAYS our choice for celebrating our anniversary!

Beautiful house, beautiful setting, gracious hosts, amazing breakfast!! Definitely will stay here again when back in Bar Harbor. Flexible too in allowing us to adjust our itinerary and stay another night.

Staff provides warm reception and shares helpful information about Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Rooms are clean, well-maintained, and quaint. Breakfast is as beautiful visually as is delicious. Good location, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Although it was in October, my stay at Ullikana took me back to a care free time of being 12 years old and away at summer camp. Upon my arrival, a lovely hostess greeted me, along with a crackling fire and a sweet canine old-timer named Teddy. I couldn't resist dashing up to my room on those wonderful old wooden stairs. My room was comfortable and cozy, and very very, pretty. My private bathroom was located across the hall from my room, and again brought back memories of long ago. Although out of another era, the sink, tub and commode served their purposes, and were kept spotless. The innkeepers were cheerful and helpful, and so was the housekeeping staff. If you want to know where to go in Acadia for hikes, talk to Roy, one of the owners. He loves the carriage paths and knows them like the back of his hand! I hesitate to say anythng less than glowing about Ullikana, but I felt the breakfasts lacked a little in taste and substance. Other than that minor shortcoming, my stay was delightful and I would absolutley recommend Ullikana to anyone seeking nostalgic bliss!

Very nice-- in every way. Great location. Friendly staff. Great breakfasts. Absolutely beautiful inn. I highly recommend it.

We spent 2 nights at the Ullikana and it was not enough! Everything about this place was fantastic. The location could not be beat - it was right off Main St., but far enough away that it was perfect. The service was fabulous - everyone that worked there was very helpful and went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. Roy was so wonderful helping us get the most out of our short stay in Bar Harbor and everything he suggested we did. We will return here for sure!

My wife and I stayed in the Library room on the 1st floor. It had french doors which opened onto the front porch making getting the luggae in and out a snap. Our hosts were gracious, The service and food was excellent. Given the chance we would love to go back.

Beuatiful setting for an inn. Loved the back patio overlooking the water. The innkeepers were extremely helpful in getting to and around Acadia National Park. Breakfast and the evening wine and cheese was excellent. The only regret is that we had to leave and come home. We would stay their again next time we make it to Bar Harbor.

Great Inn, wonderful breakfasts, good location, great recommendations for visiting the Bar Harbor area. New friends ... loved it all.

We spent two nights at Ullikana this fall. Our room was well furnished and comfortable. The house was beautifully restored. The service was excellent, the entire staff were friendly and helpful, even making sure we had an umbrella on a Rainy weekend. Breakfast was awesome. Evening wine and snacks were available, again with friendly helpful service in an area easy to mingle and visit with other guests. Great visit!

My wife and I have stayed in many B&B's and consider thid one of the best. Highlights are the breakfasts and advice about hikes to take. The view of the harbor from the back garden are great. It was very quiet for sleeping.

This was my first time to Bar Harbor. My husband and I were celebrating our 15th year wedding anniversary. We absolutely loved this B&B! It was extremely close to all the shops and restaurants but tucked away in a quiet gravel road side street. Our room was spacious and beautiful antiques but with modern bathroom amenities. But what makes this B&B special are the innkeepers, Roy and Helene. Helene is a wonder chef that cooked up the most wonderful breakfasts. We looked forward every morning. Roy is an expert on Acadia National Park and the surrounding areas. He helped us every day right after breakfast to plan our day. He has a gift of getting to know his guests and recommending the perfect day. We had such a great time that we can't wait to return. We met many guests that have returned year after year, some for as long as 15. We will also be coming back year after year to the Ullikana.

The B&B was absolutey perfect. Roy and Helene do a fabulous job of making you feel right at home. Breakfast is amazing. When it's nice, you sit in what I'll call a court yard overlooking Bar Harbor (the water, not the town). Conveniently located adjacent to downtown shopping and dining, but off the beaten path so there is no traffic around the B&B except for those staying. Roy has a deep knowledge of Acadia National Park and is thrilled to be asked for recommendations. Would we go back ... in a heart beat!

This was our first visit to Ullikana B&B but it will not be our last. The Inn and its owners are delightful! It is a well-maintained property in the heart of Bar Harbor, and within easy walking distance of many fine restaurants. The breafasts are wonderful thanks to Helene's talents as a french chef. You will not be disappointed!!

Innkeepers Helene and Roy are wonderful. They could not have done more to make us feel right at home. We're headed back next year - and bringing family.

Best location in town, near to the center and sea view from garden. Helpful innkeepers and clean rooms. Only thing is that in some rooms the private bath is opposite whats a bit inconvenient especially in the night.

Excellent place with very kind innkeepers. Breakfast is awesome and the free wine and cheese in the afternoon a very nice detail. Recommended!

Incredible hospitality of the owners, Roy and Helene. Amazing gourmet French-inspired breakfasts prepared by Helene every morning. Great views of Frenchman's Bay, Bar Harbor. A comfortable, quiet, relaxed place to stay.

Beautiful Inn in a wonderful quiet waterfront location in downtown Bar Harbor, very short walk to the shops and restaurant. The innkeepers were among the nicest and most responsive we have ever experienced in all the B&B's we've stayed in. I would highly recommend the Ullikana to anyone visiting Bar Harbor.

Beautiful location, outstanding staff, would definitely return to Ullikana.

We stayed at Ullikana for 8 wonderful nights and were very sad to leave when the time came. The breakfasts were delicious every single morning, a nice mix of sweet and savory delights! Roy was very helpful with picking hikes to do in Acadia NP or what to do the one day that it rained while we were there. All of the staff members were super friendly and always smiling. The afternoon snacks and wine were a great way to mingle with other people staying at the Inn and a good way to share stories and suggestions of what to do at the Park or around town (and the yummy cheese, crackers and tapenade. We plan to come back to Bar Harbor and will definitely be staying at Ullikana!!!!

Staying at a "preferred inn" property, we expected a level of plushness that sometimes missed the mark. The setting was perfect, and the innkeepers were very accommodating. However, no complimentary robes, which was a disappointment. And, the complimentary spring water bottles that greeted us were not replaced each day, and the same was true for the commentary toiletries when they were used up. For the price, we expected those to be spot-on. Breakfasts were delicious.

We thouroughly enjoyed our stay at Ulllikana. The lodging was charming and practical. Your breakfasts were excellent but we did not get a chance to try the wine & cheese (our fault). Your advice and suggestions for touring the island and traveling thru Maine were very useful. Our only problem was making the turn off Main Street to access your propwerty! But we plan on returning, so next time, we will know how to do it.

We stayed in the Yellow House for several days and loved it. Our room was comfortable and well furnished and extremely quiet. The location is fantastic and Roy offers wonderful advice about Acadia. The food is also excellent. My wife maintains that it is the nicest place we've ever stayed and i'd have to concur.

The room was nice.......the accommodations what I should have expected..... The wine and cheese at 5 pm was below expectations; quality, presentation and ambiance were average at best Breakfast in the morning was average at best Pricey for the overall experience

We just returned from a week long trip to Maine. We stayed two nights in Bar Harbor at the Ullikana on a friend's recommendation. Ullikana exceeded our expectations and we felt immediately at home as soon as we entered the Inn. Our room had a lovely porch overlooking the harbor. Peaceful and restful after our long days of hiking/biking/kayaking in Acadia. A healthy, tasty breakfast is served on the outside patio with views of the harbor. Sad to leave, but all good things must come to an end. We will return!

Outstanding B & B. Roy was terrific and very helpful with planning our activities. Helene's 3 course french breakfast everyday was great but not so helpful for your waistline. Would highly recommend this property.

There is not enough I could say to explain how wonderful the stay was. Quiet but close enough to all the action of Main street. Felt right at home and then some. Cannot wait to go back!

Very welcoming property and extremely well located. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Our room got a "3" only because it was really small, but we knew that it would be when we reserved it. We would HIGHLY recommend this B&B. Roy and Helene and their staff were wonderful! We will stay here again if we ever get back to Bar Harbor.

We had a very relaxing stay. The breakfasts were excellent. The place is beautiful and Helene and Roy were awesome hosts.

The Ullikana Bed and Breakfast is wonderfully situated in Bar Harbor, but on a quiet street. The Innkeepers, Helene and Roy were friendly and cheerful. They had all sorts of information and brochures about Bar Harbor and dining. I was looking for an inn with a little more contact with the innkeepers, however. Helene and Roy keep the inn running really well, but I would have preferred a little more informality. Breakfast was served by servers and it seemed that the guests generally kept to themselves. So if you're looking for privacy in an inn, Ullikana is quite genteel. I would have preferred something a little more casual.

We spent two nights at the Yellow House and had a wonderful time. Our room was bigger than we expected and very nicely decorated. The attention from all the staff was great, not over the top and very helpful. We would gladly stay here again.

My wife and I had a great time on our visit. Ullikana B&B was far enough away from the hustle and bustle that we could relax. Plus, the short walk to the water made it easy to enjoy the best part of the town. The breakfast was great both days we were there. Our hosts were very friendly and courteous and made us feel welcomed. Thanks for a great visit!

My family of 5 have been coming here for 5 years and would not think of staying anywhere else. The breakfasts are great tasting with excellent presentation, Rooms are charming and outdoor sculptures create a relaxing atmosphere. its like coming home but without the work

Fantastic innkeepers and owners and wonderful location. Wine and chees social a wonderful way to end the day after biking Acadia Carriage Trails. Beautiful view of Frenchman's Bay.

Inn is well located close to both the Harbor and downtown. Very quaint staff very helpful and knowlegable. I would stay here again if in the area

Spent a few days in the Yellow House. Great location , great breakfasts and wonderful hosts.

Great place to stay! The rooms were gorgeous. The service was great. It is a romantic place to relax. Will be visiting again.

The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful gardens and a lovely terrace surround the house where wine and cheese and crackers are served in the evening and breakfast. The terrace overlooks the harbor.The house is decorated with artwork from friends and local artists

Wonderful location to walk through town and yet feel like you're in a secluded, private setting. Breakfast is incomparable, as is the personalized attention and service. Well worth the price. Can't wait to go back next year.

We loved staying in the Audrey room - lots of character/charm! And the B&B is centrally located in Bar Harbor with easy access to great restaurants and things to do. Would stay here again for sure!

Large rooms that were well kept and clean. Terrific breakfasts provided by gracious hosts.

I wish there was a category above outstanding. A class act. The best bed and breakfast we stayed at during our week in Maine. The breakfast was great but they also had wine and cheese in the afternoons. This gave you a chance to meet the other guests. They also had a computer available for the use of the guests.

We will definitely return. The accommodations met our expectations of what a B&B should be. The breakfast was fabulous! We met some of the other guests at the wine and cheese mixer, whose company we enjoyed during our stay. Our hosts were very welcoming. We stayed in the Yellow House which was quite nice. Next time, we will try to get a room in the Ullikana.

Inn keepers and Sid were the best... they made us feel welcome and at home. They were happy, warm, friendly.... that makes a big difference with me. Location is the best in bar harbor and breakfast is a gourmet treat... Loved it.... I loved playing with the wood-burning fireplace every evening... The wine and cheese afternoons were a special treat. Wonderful 3 nights!

we had a great time. The Inn is located near downtown Bar Harbor... making it easy to walk everywhere. The staff was helpful and the food was good.

We have stayed at Ullikana/Yellow House for the past several summers, and have found it to have consistently excellent accommodations. Roy, Helene, and their staff are always warm and welcoming; and we always feel like we are back with friends when we stay there. Their 'General Manager', a Labrador Retriever, makes sure everything is up to snuff (sorry, pun intended). We mostly stayed at Yellow House, across the street from the Ullikana building. The Inns are at the end of a quiet street, but within an easy walk to the shops and restaurants on Main Street, the town dock, the village green, and the popular shore path. Therefore one doesn't need to drive to everything. Acadia National Park is a short drive away, with limitless activities and stunning views. Ullikana is an excellent place to stay.

Staying by the river was simply amazing. Everyone working there was wonderful, engaging, and helpful. And the food, wow. My wife and I will be back to celebrate future anniversaries.

Nestling behind the busy main street of Bar Harbour we found the Inns of Ullikana to be a haven of peace and tranquility. The location, service and food were of the highest quality and I wouldn't hestitate to recommend this little piece of heaven.

The Ullikana and Yellow House are right in the heart of downtown Bar Harbor. Since the inn is tucked away just off Main Street, it's peaceful, and many of the locals don't even realize it's there. The rooms are comfortable and distinct, and the personal service is unparalleled. Take a few minutes after the gourmet breakfast (on the patio with a view of Frenchman Bay) and ask for directions, help with activities, or dining suggestions. The owners and staff are so helpful, and the stay will last with you a lifetime. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Bar Harbor.

We are visiting at least one national park each year. The Ullikana is a great base for exploring Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor's downtown. The Inn is a bit hard to find, especially in the dark. Hint: It is located behind a bank drive-through. The breakfasts were superb with our own table for two (the first morning) and friendly & interesting folks in the indoor dining room (the second morning).

Their private road to the parking lot was full of large potholes. Bathroom sink was too small and low to use. Room temperature controls did not function properly. Winds rattled the windows producing load noises at night. We made reservation through BnB Finder and tried to use BnB Finder gift certificate but they would not accept it saying they don't participate. Location was excellent and breakfast was adequate.

We enjoyed the stay primarily due to the location and the great condition of this wonderful old summer home converted to a B & B. Ullikana is very well located within a short walking distance from the town shopping and eating district. We felt very safe and comfortable.

We highly recommend the Ullikana and will be returning next year. Due to capacity that weekend we stayed in the Henry room, the smallest at the Ullikana, but we knew this going into it and were not disappointed. We did tour the other rooms and they looked spacious and phenomenal. If you can afford it book room #7. Helene's breakfasts are phenomenal and the service and hospitality Roy provided made for a fantabulous stay in Bra Harbor.

Roy was a terrific guide to the area. Took time with everyone!

My daughter and I were delighted with our stay at the Ullikana in Bar Harbor, Maine. Our room was very comfortable and our stay was relaxing. The owners are friendly and helped us make our sightseeing plans. The morning meal was gourmet and served on a terrace overlooking Frenchman Bay. Who could ask for more!

The fantastic breakfasts made by Helene gave every day there a special start. Both Roy and Helene, and all the staff, are warm and caring and that's what really sets Ullikana apart from other nice B&Bs.

We have been visiting the Ullikana annually for the past several years, and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else in Bar Harbor. Roy, Helene, Cyd, and Louie (the Lab) make each of us feel like family. They, along with other charming staff members, serve wonderful breakfasts, they always have great hiking suggestions, they help us unwind after active days with wine and cheese and beautiful views, and they keep us up to date on the best places to eat dinner. All go out of their way to accommodate individual or group interests and preferences. A visit to the Ullikana is a uniquely wonderful experience.

This was a lovely, quiet, well-appointed inn, close to all amenities and a quick ride to beautiful Acadia Park. Hosts were delightful and the breakfasts, sitting in the garden, with a view of the harbour were sublime. Late afternoon wine was a real plus after a day in the out-of-doors. We hope to return. Early fall is a particularly pleasant time of year for this area.

Wonderfully bright, clean and beautiful accomodations with fabulous views. Gracious hosts and delicious breakfasts. We will be back!

We stayed in Agamont room in The Yellow House, it was a large room, nice if a little old fashioned. It had a great shower cubicle and free standing bath. It was clean and comfortable. There was a pantry,downstairs so you could make tea and coffee which was lovely, Free wi-fi. The Inn Keepers were great hosts, very welcoming and friendly. The only thing I didn't like were the communal breakfast tables, a little too noisy for a morning for us! Breakfast was plentiful, a bit strange for the English taste buds, but you won't go hungry! We loved Bar harbour and The Inn was in a central location. the Acadia National Park was outstanding, and would love to visit again.

Stayed 3 nights in room 7 in Ullikana. This was our first time staying in a B&B and we absolutely enjoyed it. Cyd the inkeeper was awesome! The room was clean and the private deck was worth the extra expense. Helene's muffins in the morning were wonderful. We couldn't have asked for a better first time experience. Highly recommend it!! D&L from Illinois

The Ullikana Inns are wonderful This is our 11th stay there, always in the Yellow House. One could not ask for, nor find, better innkeepers thas Helene & Roy.

Although Bar Harbor has many lodging options, my wife and I have been staying at the Ullikana \ Yellow House for 12 years running now. September is a beautiful time of year to visit Acadia National Park (just minutes from downtown Bar Harbor), and the Ullikana innkeepers, Roy & Helene, make it a memorable experience. They are a very hospitable couple and make each guest feel welcome in this northeastern island paradise. Helene's breakfasts alone are worth the stay. I highly recommend choosing to spend part of your Maine vacation at either house.

Every year we come back to Bar Harbor we stay at the Ullikana Bed and Breakfast. The atmosphere is unique and enjoyable. Breakfast is to die for as they serve either inside in the dining room or outside on the patio overlooking the harbor. The care taken for each breakfast course and dish shows how much time goes into giving each guest a wonderful experience. We have returned each year at least once, if not multiple times a year for the last 5 years and would not think of staying anywhere else in Bar Harbor. When we go it is a sad day as it feels like we.are leaving family and friends.

it was a great place to stay. the veiw was outstanding. the morning meal was even better then i ever could imagine.the rooms were great and the people at the b&b were the greatest.

We loved our surroundings, absolutely loved the breakfasts, and were incredibly impressed with the service and friendliness of the staff. I think that was the issue which stood out more than anything - absolutely every staff member was courteous, accommodating, incredibly helpful and accessible.

The rooms are very nice with great period furniture and really nice appointments. The staff is pleasant and attentive. The breakfast is first class. The inn is within walking distance of all the attractions of Bar Harbor. We stayed in the "Library". It has a great (and almost private porch) and a large bathroom (no tub but large shower). Next time, I'd book a room not so close to the reception area. (Actually, I think the Library is the only one with any problem, slight as it is.) Usually breakfast and wine/cheese are served outside on a beautiful terrace, but during cold or inclement weather the gatherings right by the door to your room can get noisy if you are trying to rest. The rest of the rooms?.... not problem! That said (and assuming you have any other room or the weather is good and you have the Library), expect great service, wonderful food, beautiful furniture and a stay well worth the money charged.

This stay was our second at the beautiful Ullikana B&B and I can't say enough positive about this place. The accommodations are gorgeous and comfortable and the staff are welcoming and very helpful. If you need advice on Bar Harbor dining or sightseeing they are always eager to recommend something. I look forward to returning next year.

Stayed in the Yellow House as part of a New England tour in August 2011. The room was airy and comfortable, Helene's breakfasts were excellent and, with good weather, were taken each day in the garden terrace. Roy's local knowledge and daily weather forecast were invaluable. Location of the inn's close to the town centre was very good but a signpost on Main Street would have helped - look for the two banks and go between them, a street name for The Field or a finger post to the inns would have helped on a busy August afternoon!

Staff very helpful / amazing breakfast / great place for visiting Bar Harbor / wonderful !!!

Of the many fine B&B's we have stayed at, Ullikana is the most outstanding. The place is beautiful, the location ideal, and the breakfasts are extraordinary. Best of all Helene and Roy feel like members of the family.

The Ullikana is truly a gem in Bar Harbor- the atmosphere is upscale serenity with character, the rooms are lovely and unique, the service is always impeccable, breakfasts are consistently delicious and of the highest quality. We love it here!

We stayed three nights at the Ullikana B&B. It turned out to be everything we had hoped for and more. The room and entire yellow house was charming. The hosts were wonderful, interesting people who helped us with everything from reservations in hard to get places, recommending restaurants that were off the radar, and directing us to fabulous beauty in Acadia and around the area. Helene is a perfect chef...the food was skillfully prepared...delicious but not too fussy and heavy. The setting of the Inn is the best in town! Beautiful views of the bay and within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants. We would return!

This is a lovely property just a block away from the congestion and noise of the main street of Bar Harbor. The inn is spacious and well maintained. Our room, which had a view of the water, was just as advertised. My only complaint was that the inn seemed understaffed--we had to go to another building to find someone to help us check in, and there didn't seem to be anyone to offer advice on tours, attractions, etc. except at breakfast and then that person had more than he could handle. Maybe the owners assume that their guests already know where to go, what they they want to do, etc., but when I go to a B&B I expect more local expert advice than the Ullikana seems set up to provide.

This is a fabulous bed and breakfast in the middle of Bar Harbor at a very reasonable price. Helene provides the most fabulous breakfasts - easily equivaltent to the most opulent accomodations in Quebec. The staff are courteous and efficient and the house is spotless. If you want convenience , fair price, excellent breakfasts and hospitality - this is the place. Roy will even give you a detailed description of all the hikes you can do.

Ullikana is a charming B&B in a key location (walking distance to all the shops and restaurants in downtown Bar Harbor). The inn also has some great history. The inn keepers are fabulous. It is clear they take much pride in running their B&B. Roy himself takes time out every morning to offer suggestions and tips on what activities to do during the day. The breakfasts are homemade and absolutely scrumptious. I highly recommend Ullikana!

We love there but one thing we do not like separate rooms bed and bathroom. We learned what we want both are one room. Your place is so beautiful. Thank you Liz

A gorgeous inn in a gorgeous town. The staff and hosts were supremely friendly, the room (Jack's Room in the Yellow House) was beautiful and clean, and they served much more than your average breakfast fare for a B&B. The Inn's guest pantry is a very nice touch! Close to everything -- water, shops, restaurants, etc. Would definitely return.

My wife and I stayed in the Library Room which was on the first floor and opened up to a porch overlooking the beautiful gardens and the Yellow House B&B with its outdoor sculptures. Location is great as the back yard w/ the breakfast area overlooks the harbor and the B&B is one block away from the downtown area. Definitely hope to stay there again.

Away from the madding crowd. Quiet, peaceful terrace. Terrific hosts.

This is a lovely inn that has been restored so beautifully. The rooms are very comfortable and breakfast is delicious. The owners and staff are very gracious and kind. The location is perfect - a five minute walk from Main Street and overlooking Frenchman's Bay.

We had a wonderful time at Ullikana, staying in Audrey's Room, a hand-painted and spacious room at the top of the stairs. Breakfasts are excellent and the staff and owners unbelievably helpful.

We stayed in the Malvern room in the Yellow House, across the way from the Ullikana. We're not crazy about the Victorian look so we appreciated the bold reds and blues of the room, the 4 windows letting in the cool breeze and the comfortable bed. The breakfasts were amazing, each one starting with a muffin warm from the oven and fruit. The main dishes ranged from a German apple pancake to, my favorite, spinach crepes. It was all really well done. We also appreciated the happy hour. The staff provided crackers and cheese and a wonderful roasted red pepper spread that made a tasty combination along with red or white wine. The grounds are beautiful and the staff were all so helpful and accommodating. There was a problem with our shower one day and Roy was kind enough to give us that night free, which was not necessary but was appreciated. Great location. It was pricey but probably the nicest B&B we've ever stayed in and we've stayed in many all across the country. We hope to come back and stay again someday!

The Inn has a really nice and relaxing view of Bar Harbor harbour. The innkeepers made sure that there is info on all activities in and around Acadia National Park and the towns and villages of Mount Desert Island. And one can alwats ask for more. The Inn next door has a good restaurant (Ten Tables).

My husband and I just returned from Bar Harbor, Maine. We spent 3 nights at the Ullikana in room 4. The room was very spacious, lots of closet and drawer space; however, the bathroom for our room was across the hall.....which we knew before we booked the room. This really was not a problem. The inn is conveniently located to the downtown area so you can walk everywhere. The breakfasts were wonderful and served outside on the terrace and everyone associated with the inn was wonderful. They helped us with restaurant selections and Roy was very helpful as we tried to determine which hiking trails to do in Acadia National Park. We would definitely return to the Ullikana if we ever return to Bar Harbor.

The Ullikana Inn is among the finest B&Bs I have stayed in. The innkeepers, Roy and Helene, are warm and welcoming, the breakfasts are fantastic, and the site where breakfast is served (overlooking the harbor) is a delight. If you are going to Bar Harbor, the Ullikana is the place to stay.

We loved everything about our stay. The owners were extremely kind and gracious.

Exceeded all expectations! Breakfast was delicious, the B&B was charming and Helene and Roy were very helpful... and Louie the dog was a riot to watch during breakfast.

We enjoyed ourselves tremendously in Bar Harbor, thanks in large part to Ullikana. Roy & Helene are fantastic hosts and gave us great advice on hiking, restaurants and the island. The breakfasts were amazing, too! We will return.

The innkeepers were kind. The rooms were nicely decorated and very comfortable. The location is great...right in town, without any of the noise. Great Place to Stay.

We travelled in companionship with another befriended couple. They had a beautiful comfortable suite, we had a small room that was much less pricey. Small, but craftfully decorated. Henry's room is a recommendation if you want to stay in a B&B but at a more affordable price. Breakfast is good and healthy, in three courses first a muffin, then some fruit, and then something along the line of a crèpe filled with egg or apple or clotted cream - good. Best of all the relaxing athmosphere of Ullikana, with its reading room - I wouldn't mind spending a rainy day inside the mansion - and its beautiful secluded spot near the busy main street. The owner & innkeeper Roy gave very helpful tips for our stay.

This is a wonderful property. The staff were very friendly, helpful with restuarant recommendation, directions and any request we had. The room we stayed in was spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. We walked to restuarants and the harbor. I would highly recommend this property.

With in moments we were walking the halls of the Inn as comfortably as we would in our own home. The location was hardly a 2 minute walk to the center of town or the beach in the opposite direction, yet was very private. We felt like friends with the staff and owners. And the other guests were very friendly also. It was a truly amazing experience and will be back as often as possible.

We recently spent 5 nights at the Ullikana and had a wonderful experience. Roy and Helene could not have been more gracious hosts. All of the staff greatly exceeded our expectations and the breakfasts were fabulous! No detail was overlooked. We cannot wait to return!

Spent 5 wonderful nights at Ullikana. Property was wonderful and perfectly located in town, but quite. Innkeepers and their staff could not have been more grcious and enjoyable. They were great resource for helping to plan appropriate hikes, biking and other activities. We will be back.

My wife and i stayed at the Ullikana 15 years ago for our honeymoon and loved it. We returned to stay at the Yellow House (same owners, right next door) to spend a weekend and attend a friend's wedding. Both are beautiful old Maine summer "cottages" (more like mansions) with very comfortable shared spaces and quiet and comfortable en suite rooms. Everything is clean and beautiful but not new (and that is good). The two homes are quiet and have wonderful gardens decent sized lawns around them. What we also love is that you can easily walk to everything in in the commercial distrcit of Bar Harbor. Lots of great places to eat and nice shopping if you want it. The shore path starts right in front of the Ullikana. Breakfast is amazing every morning. Roy knows everything about Acadia National Park and spends time in it EVERY DAY. We hope to be back much sooner.

The innkeepers Helene and Roy and all the staff are very nice. Roy knows the Acadia Park very well and gives good information. Ullikana is very well located.

Although the period furniture and bathroom were --- as expected --- less luxurious than a room at a fancy hotel (the shower water temp fluctuated and the bed was a little firm for our tastes), it met and exceeded our expectations as far as atmosphere, beauty, and service went. And they went a long way. From gourmet breakfasts and afternoon wine & cheese to free bottles of olive oil and VOSS water to the owners themselves, who stood with us at a big map of Acadia and told us which hiking trails were the most splendiferous, the service lacked nothing. And the beauty of the house, grounds, and rooms, which (having seen them online) were what brought us here, lacked not a whit either. We felt rather regal. Thanks Helene & Roy!

Our stay at the Inns at Ullikana, in Bar Harbor, Maine was delightful. We felt like very special guests at the owners' home. Their innkeeper was as pleasant and helpful as anyone could desire. The chef/owner was more than accommodating to special nutritional needs, and the food was delicious. And the owner/host was helpful beyond hopes, and the room was just right for our needs. We would return to the Inns at Ullikana for our next visit to Bar Harbor. without hesitation.

The most romantic Inn.. with the nicest people. A cheese/wine snack, amazing breakfasts (best omelette I have ever had).. amazing view. Would stay here for as long as possible!

Everything about our stay was wonderful! The hosts and staff are extremely attentive but not pushy. The rooms were meticulously cared for and comfortable. Breakfasts are sublime. A wonderful romantic getaway.

We had a wonderful first Bar Harbor experience. The homes were beautiful-the staff was warm, welcoming and accommodating-the breakfasts were excellent. We would love to return one day.

Just a lovely place. Didn't do any dining so just rated satisfactory. Proximity to downtown is a real plus.

If you're trying to find another reason to visit the already sublime Bar Harbor, the Ullikana Bed and Breakfast is all you need. Roy and Hélène are gracious hosts and they will make you feel like a guest of honor. When you arrive you will have the option of staying either in the Ullikana or the Yellow House, which are both beautiful and historic houses. The bedrooms are tastefully decorated and spacious. Furthermore the overall feel of both houses is welcoming and comfortable. You will truly feel like you are staying in a home and not a hotel. The Ullikana is also a short walk from all the restaurants in town, and even better it is right by the water. The breakfast Hélène makes is spectacular and it is just what you need to embark on the journey that Roy will gladly plan for you. I wholeheartedly recommend you visit.

We have stayed every summer at the Ullikana since we discovered it some years ago on a trip to Bar Harbor. We have stayed in many of the rooms at both the Ullikana and the Yellow House and loved them all. Everything about them is unique and wonderful, from the house itself, the owners and staff, the wonderful art that fills every room, the location looking out over the water, Helene's breakfasts, etc. We have been made to simultaneously feel like we are both special guests and family, not an easy thing to do! We love this place and recommend it unequivocably to everyone. Helene and Roy have created a home away from home that you won't want to leave. Thanks for sharing it with us!

The inn is beautiful and ideally located. The room was very pretty with a deck overlooking the water. Breakfast was excellent. The owners and staff were very helpful. All in all, it was an outstanding experience. We have already made reservations for next year.

My wife and I stayed for the first time at the Ullikana Yellow house. The breakfasts were delicious and unique on each of our three days. The clientel at breakfast were great, and morning discussions were varied. Roy had great advice on Arcadia and let us use some CD's on the park as we took the auto route. I would've like to have had a TV in the room, but we managed without by using my laptop and the Inn's WIFI. We're looking forward to a return visit.

The Inns are charming and perfectly located. I would definitely stay there again. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality. It was really enjoyable meeting all of the other guests. Martha Ann Wishnev

My wife and I stayed at the Ullikana for four nights and had a wonderful time. The innkeepers were extremely friendly and helpful. The evening wine and cheese gathering with the other guests was enjoyable. Our room was excellent. We had a great stay!

We've been going to Acadia National Park for years to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Sadly the B&B that we had stayed changed ownership. The "heart" of a B&B is in the owners. Roy and Helene are the "heart" of Ullikana. They made our anniversary a wonderful stay and we hope that we can keep returning each year.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Ullikana! Helene and Roy were gracious hosts and always ready to help with sightseeing and restaurant recommendations. The breakfasts were delicious, and it is especially nice to be able to sit outside on the back patio to enjoy the food!

Friendly and cordail atmosphere. We were made to feel like a close friend of the family by the owners, the staff and even the household dog. The feel of a country setting but just 100 yards off the main street with restaurants and shopping. Roy was a treasurehouse of knowledge about the park and he guided us well in selecting hikes and rides. The mid-June timing found the park like a private retreat and town uncrowded but active.

We booked Room 7, based on the web site description - and it was just perfect. We loved our little balcony, overseeing glimpses of the harbor. We put restaurant decisions in the hands of our hosts, and both restaurants were top notch. Breakfasts were unique and excellent. The perfect touch was a small box of chocolates on our bed with a note congratulating us on our 50th. It was a very memorable spot, and we hope to return.

Lovely inn for Memorial day in Bar Harbor. My only suggestion is to have music in the room (CD player)

Our recent stay at Ullikana was blissful. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by the lovely Syd to our last morning spent relaxing in the dining room chatting with other guests and enjoying another amazing breakfast from Helene, we felt so at home! Roy was so helpful each morning as we planned our time at Acadia National Park. He helped us plan our hikes, recommended we enjoy lunch at Jordon Pond House which was so delicious and even recommended a few off-the-beaten-path locations like Thurston's Lobster Pound. His warm demeanor and knowledge of the area helped us really feel like we got the most out of our time in Bar Harbor. We will definitely come back again and again. Ullikana is a gem.

The Inn Staff are exceedingly capable and friendly, making you feel comfortable while still allowing for plenty of privacy and quiet time. The room was lovely, cozy and simple, with great, new amenities and plenty of hot water. The breakfast was delicious, if a bit of a sugar-overload, but don't be afraid to ask for some eggs if you crave something different-- they will happily oblige.

Prime location in Bar Harbor, splendid breakfast, personalised hospitality by Helene & Roy, charming and warm atmosphere. Clearly a place to go back to...

Gracious, accommodating staff - immaculate, beautifully decorated rooms with tastefully displayed, occasionally funky and fun peices of art superb beakfast - fabulous presentation, delicious and filling beautiful home both inside and out with lovely views of the harbor

We had a wonderful time. The rooms were beautiful, the Inn was wonderful. The breakfast was just amazing

My wife and I planned a last-minute weekend getaway and we were delighted with Ullikana. We would definitely go there again.

I am never one to repeat and always looking for bigger/better. Not the case with the Ullikana and the Yellow House. We will only consider these Inns when booking a trip to Bar Harbor. Roy and Helene are hosts beyond compare. The staff is as genuine as the hosts, always ready to help in any way possible. The breakfasts are a delight to the taste buds.

Roy and Helene at The Ullikana were wonderful to stay with. Early morning knocks on the kitchen door got me my coffee and a friendly welcoming "Good morning" For all that commercialism and tourism takes away from Bar Harbor, The Ullikana replaces with charm, quality and ambiance. My wife and I look forward to our next trip where the beauty of Acadia and the charm of The Ullikana will fill a day and evening with memories .

We wouldn't stay anywhere else in Bar Harbor. A friendly, welcoming place. Roy, Helene and their staff couldn't be nicer or more helpful.

My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon. After our experience at the Ullikana we will never stay at a hotel again! Everything about this place was amazing; the staff, the food, the accommodations...very welcoming! I would highly recommend staying at the Ullikana if passing through Bar Harbor!

We stayed here during a visit to Bar Harbor to celebrate our 25th anniversary. It was very convenient to the shops, but in a quiet location. The staff was very attentive and friendly, and the breakfasts were very good. We would stay here again.

My husband and I had a brief but highly enjoyable stay at the Ullikana Bed and Breakfast. The staff were hospitable. The location was perfect. The breakfast was amazing! Our only regret was that we didn't book a longer stay.

This was an exceptional location and value at a beautiful house. Across from the ocean with views from the patio and rooms 6 and 7. Just a short walk to downtown shops and dining. The hosts were delightful and breakfast was fabulous. A home run!

The Ullikana is - without doubt - the nicest B&B I know of, and we have stayed at many in the US. The rooms are beautifully appointed and immaculately clean. The breakfasts are a treat to behold - imaginative and simply delicious. Roy and Helene and their staff are kind, attentive, thoughtful, warm hearted, gracious and very helpful. We stayed in the Yellow House this time - every comfort of home is there, we could not have been more comfortable and delighted with our stay!

Sooooooo wonderful! Just the perfect place to relax and enjoy life.....Helene's cooking is spectacular and Roy is the perfect host! Service was very personal and friendly...couldn't have been any better!

It was a great stay; Roy is the commensurate host and Helene's breakfasts on the terrace are wonderful. Roy's knowledge of everything from the best restaurants to every trail in Acadia let us make the best use of our short stay. Even the guests of Illikana are one of its assets... all are friendly, engaging and make good conversations. We are coming back in the fall.

We went to The Ullikana 8 years ago and absolutley loved it. We decided to come back for our anniversary and were so delighted to see Roy and Helene again. The two house are beautiful with wonderfully kept grounds. It was so nice to sit in an adirondack chair and look out to the water to see the boats passing. The bedrooms are quaint, warm and very inviting. The gourmet breakfasts are outstanding to say the least. Everything is made fresh! You can't beat the location. The B&B is located right downtown so shopping, eating and activity planning is right at your finger tips. We plan on returning again and again!

We have enjoyed Roy and Helene's hospitality twice so far. Both experiences were magnificent. Not only are the inns (main house and yellow house) beautifully appointed, with a warm and charming feeling, but the rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious. The eclectic decor is fabulously put together. In a quiet, hidden corner, tucked away behind the large, commercial hotel, is this slice of quiet contentment, salve for the tired soul. Breakfast is an extraordinary experience, where you sample delicious, gourmet dishes out on the patio, overlooking the harbor, pampered by impeccable service. Roy and Helene redefine the meaning of hospitality with their friendly approach, raising the bar on the standard of good innkeeping. All you can hope for in a bed and breakfast.

Great location in Bar Harbor. The staff was friendly and helpful. I will stay here again when vistiting Bar Harbor.

We have now stayed in both the main building and in the Yellow House and both are just wonderful. Breakfast is exquisite, healthy and just the right portion size to leave you satisfied. We'll go back again.

the inn keepers were very nice. Roy was super knowledgeable about Acadia and very available to give info.and guidance. Helene accomodated me each am with a vegan breakfast. We were dissapointed however that the O.J was frozen. Fresh squeezed please!

My husband and I spent five wonderful days at the Ullikana B&B. The location was perfect, great harbor views but at the same time private. Roy and Helene were perfect hosts, always giving us advise on were to go and what to see around the island. Breakfast were perfect and very varied. The best muffins I've ever tasted!!! We stayed in Audrey's room, it was very comfortable, spacious and beautifully decorated. You feel you are home. We highly recommend you stay at the Ullikana. We'll be back.

Our 5 night stay at the Ullikana celebrating my husbands 50th birthday was perfect. The inn is so charming and comfortable. Roy and Helene, as well as their amazing staff were the perfect hosts! We have stayed at many 5 star resorts and the hospitality, friendliness, service and helpfulness of the staff is amazing! Helene's gourmet breakfasts each morning were a treat for the eye as well as the palate. I will miss her delicious culinary talent! The Ullikana was a wonderful respite, a step back in time reminiscent of a stay with a favorite aunt and uncle. We cant wait to visit again!

We were treated so kindly, thoughtful, and graciously the whole entire time. Everyone is so pleasant and courteous. Can't say enough!
