Anne's White Columns Inn

  • Inn Details

    Anne's White Columns Inn, an impressive Georgian structure, is located in the Historical Corridor in downtown Bar Harbor. Upon entering through the columned portico, one is greeted by the Victorian elegance of the foyer and salon. The huge fireplace is often crackling in spring and fall. The large wicker attired porch provides a peaceful setting for a leisurely breakfast, or your glass of wine and cheese during those long summer afternoons. The spacious grounds are a haven from the downtown activity but still convenient to the shops and restaurants.

    • Directions to property:
      Driving to Bar Harbor: Bar Harbor is easily accessible by car. From Boston (268 miles) - follow Interstate 95 through to Bangor (exit 45-A - 395), then pick-up on Rt.1A to Ellsworth, and follow Rt.3 to Bar Harbor. Another route would be to take I-95 to Augusta, take Route 3 to Belfast over to Route 1 to Ellsworth, then back to Route 3 into Bar Harbor. There is also the coastal route #1. It meanders thought the picturesque villages and takes quite a bit longer to reach Bar Harbor. By Air: Bar Harbor is serviced by a local airport, the Hancock County Airport, located just 12 miles from the village, and by Bangor International Airport only 50 miles away. Bus Service: During the summer months, Bar Harbor is serviced by Greyhound/Vermont Transit from Boston. Since schedules vary, it is best to check with the bus line.

    We spent two days at this in over Thanksgiving. The Inn keepers are warm and welcoming and the breakfasts are delicious. What better way to start your day than with a great cup of coffee and dessert before breakfast! We will be back.

    We have stayed at Anne's many times and would not stay anywhere else. It's location is perfect, the rooms are very clean and comfortable. Anne and Bob are excellent hosts. The breakfasts are outstanding and the wine and cheese hour is always entertaining.

    Ottimo per visitare Acadia NP, a pochi passi dal centro di Bar Harbor. Pulito, confortevole, ottime le colazioni e l'aperitivo serale a base di vino e formaggio.

    Finding a good in in Bar Harbor in the late fall can be a challenge. I was pleased with how welcoming the owners were and the helpfulness to make my stay wonderful. The room was comfortable and the inn was close to Bar Harbor's downtown. I would definitely return. Pam George


    Pleasant 3-day stay.

    Wife and I enjoyed 3-day stay, particularly the evening wine and snacks and conversation with hostess, and with owner, Bob, and other guests. Very convenient to walk to restaurants in Bar harbor. Nicely appointed room.
