Judy and I loved our stay at Balance Rock Inn. Sherry & Mike and the whole staff were friendly and helpful. Our ocean view suite was fantastic. Loved the spa hot tub (also with a view!). Our suite had a porch with an unbelievable ocean view.... read more

Review Balance Rock Inn On The Ocean, Bar Harbor, ME

Photo Album

Gaze from the veranda past the glistening swimming pool, beautiful flower gardens and sweeping lawns framed with stately trees, to where the property connects with the historic Shore Path walk along the water's edge. One of many breathtaking Frenchman's Bay views from our property.
Enjoy good conversation in a stimulating setting. Room 114 has a romantic queen sized canopy bed facing the working fireplace, two inviting easy chairs and a writing desk waiting for you to do up those postcards. The private bath with hardwood floors has two separate vanity sink areas, a single necessaire, a 2-person whirlpool tub set under an oil painting of a schooner at high seas just off the coast. Or indulge yourself in the separate marble tiled shower with multiple shower heads - rainfall, massage and handheld.
Room 203 is a one room suite that is very romantic and largely popular with its hardwood floors and dark bayberry green decor. The king sized bed lies parallel to the wall on your right side. There are several large windows that offer a lovely view of the ocean. A handsome writing desk sits beside the single French door that leads out to a large deck that is bordered and shared with Room 202. A wonderfully sheltered and sunny place to enjoy a great view of the ocean! When you are reclining in bed, to your left there is a large sitting area with couch and easy chairs in front of the working fireplace. The private bath features a twin vanity sink with a smaller window view of the ocean, a shower and a separate whirlpool tub.Room 105: This first floor mini suite is just off of the main lobby. With its king sized canopy bed, dark blue decor and chandelier, it is one of the most romantic and the most popular rooms we offer. When you are reclining in bed, to your right there is a sitting area with couch and chairs facing the fireplace. To your left there is a second sitting area with two winged backed chairs and large windows with a wonderful view of the ocean. This large room (21' by 17') has a private deck overlooking that superb ocean view, which you can step off and wander down our rolling lawns to the historic shore path for a leisurely stroll along the ocean while also enjoying a peek at other "summer cottages." Your private bathroom with hardwood floors has an oversized whirlpool tub/shower combination, necessaire, sink and dry sauna.
Early risers can get their coffee fix and morning news before the lavish full breakfast of popular selections is served daily from 8 to 10am. Our energizing breakfast includes a selection of cold cereal including our own homemade Acadia granola, fresh seasonal fruit, yogurt. Hot entrees change daily. An example for one day Aunt Doris' Downeast Quiche, Parmesan Tomatoes, Sausage and Wild Maine Blueberry Pancakes. Fresh blueberry muffins are made daily, as well as other various bakery creations, such as tea breads, scones, coffee cakes, etc., and always home-style bread and New York bagels for toasting. Some guests like to have their breakfast on the porch overlooking the ocean.Join us for an elegant afternoon tea.
Set on a secluded tree-covered property with expansive views of Frenchman's Bay, this luxurious bed and breakfast Inn's name celebrates the "balance rock," a precariously positioned boulder on the nearby ocean shore, a huge remnant from an ice age.
