We considered ourselves "seasoned" having stayed at over 40 B&B's around the country. We were greeted warmly by Pat, the innkeeper. She showed us the Echo Lake Suite in the Carriage house. I was a bit disappointed as it didn't have a... read more

Beautiful inn conveniently located in center Bar Harbor. We spent 3 nights in the Otter Suite on the very top level of the house (not open during winter) with a separate sitting area (which couldn't be locked as there is an emergency exit, didn't... read more
Innkeeper Response
The Otter Cliffs Suite is a three room suite: bedroom, private sitting room, and bathroom. The sitting room provides all the guests on the third floor with access to the fire escape; for this reason the sitting room door cannot be locked (guests keep the door closed for privacy). Both the bedroom and the bathroom have deadbolt locks for total security. This arrangement meets the AAA's stringent security standards. We make a particular effort to provide creative, nutritious - and often unusual - breakfasts; something different each day. Our web site contains sample menus.

The Graycote Inn is charming, spotless, a "green" B&B (which we applaud) and within easy walking distance to all of the best that Bar Harbor has to offer. The inn offers a beautiful garden for strolling, a delightful front porch with... read more

Review Graycote Inn, Bar Harbor, ME

Photo Album

The Graycote was built in 1881 for the Rev. Christopher Starr Leffingwell, the first Rector of St. Saviour's Episcopal Church. The house is sited on nearly an acre of landscaped grounds, giving you a quiet place to relax. The Graycote Inn is designated an Environmental Leader by the State of Maine. Graycote was the first lodging property of any type in Bar Harbor to be so designated. It is the only Green Certified B&B on Mt. Desert Island.After a busy day in Acadia National Park or in one of the villages on Mt. Desert Island you can return to the Graycote for some light afternoon refreshments.
The Graycote's large side yard provides you with a beautiful spot in which to relax in Adirondack chairs or hammocks - or play a game of croquet.During spring summer and early fall you will have breakfast served to you on the breakfast porch and in the dining room. Maine ingredients are used whenever available. Our coffees are roasted in Bar Harbor. Your wild blueberries will come from Downeast Maine of course!
During the winter you will be served breakfast in the dining room with a cheerful fire burning in the fireplace.The Cadillac Mountain Suite is the largest of our suites. It is located on the first floor - ideal for guests with restricted mobility.
The Somes Sound Suite is a large suite on the second floor of the inn. Situated on the southwest corner of the house it is a very bright room.The Hulls Cove Room is located on the third floor and offers you a king bed, full bath, and a private balcony overlooking our side yard.
