While on a business trip, my husband and I stayed at the Ivy Manor for a couple of days. We were impressed right away with the Welcome we received from the owners. The room was simple and very clean. The location was perfect-within walking distance to all the restaurants and shops. Our breakfast each morning was so delicious. We plan to stay at the Ivy Manor as many times as we return to Bar Harbor!

We would highly recommend a stay at the Ivy Manor Inn. John and Christine are wonderful hosts and cannot do enough to ensure you enjoy your stay with them. The Inn itself is very appealing - elegant but quaint. The rooms are well furnished and the bathrooms are beautifully tiled. The Ivy Manor Inn is right in the heart of Bar Harbor and so within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants. An extra mention of Christine's gourmet breakfast must be made. She is obviously very talented and her food was amazing. As this is a new venture for John and Christine we wish them well and we will certainly be back. If you are going to stay in Bar Harbor this is the place for you - you will not be disappointed.

We spent a long weekend at the Ivy Manor Inn, and from the start, John, Christine, and their children went out of their way to make us feel at home. When we needed a late check-in, John was very willing to accommodate us, and Christine welcomed us with freshly baked cookies. Breakfast was delicious, and Christine tailored the menu to our diet and preferences. She also provided coffee and tea throughout the day, and when we mentioned that we'd brought a bottle of wine, she provided glasses and a corkscrew without our asking in advance. The inn is centrally located in Bar Harbor, close to shops, restaurants, and scenic points. The house itself is clean, charming, and comfortable. We will certainly return the next time we find ourselves in Bar Harbor. Highly recommended!

5 out of 5The Perfect Inn & Proprietors
April 08, 2013
An impeccable Tudor style Inn within walking distance to most everything in town. The Inn is absolutely gorgeous and I couldn't stop admiring the beautiful floors and decor and thinking about how comfortable I felt. Homemade cookies await you in your room upon arrival with complementary bottled water. How wonderful to wake up in the morning to the aroma of muffins and delicious coffee brewing. The dining rooms are elegant yet comfortable with beautiful table settings. The owners John and Mary Poole are so welcoming and go out of their way to make guests feel at home. The room and bathrooms are clean with complementary toiletries. The beds are comfortable (king and queen size) and the sheets crisp with quality pillows. The exquisite guest bedrooms are furnished with quality period antiques, rich fabrics and wall treatments. The rooms are spacious, relaxing with, fireplaces, a sitting area, TV and yes there is WiFi. A beautiful fireplace highlights the elegant parlor with comfortable chairs and couches. This wonderful Inn with its pleasant proprietors makes it hard to go home! One evening John even invited his guests to taste and select wines for the upcoming dining season. Mary put out homemade hummus, cheese, sausage and crackers. . A wonderful seasonal restaurant is also on the premises and I can’t wait to try it. The Inn is ideal for individuals, couples, or friends and holding an event. Although this was a business trip and the Inn was booked for me, I intend to return for a weekend getaway. Linda A. Reissman
5 out of 5Wonderful stay, beautiful place.

We were the only guests, since it was the off-season. The people who run the inn were very nice. When we came in, they sat with us and told us about the area in detail, helped us plan out our trip. The rooms were gorgeous. Ours had a gas fireplace that kept the room nice and warm. The breakfast in the morning was delicious, specially made scones and eggs. They're planning on opening a restaurant, so they're trying out different recipes. I can't recommend this place enough. I loved it!

Despite having our rehearsal dinner here in 2004, my wife and I had never actually stayed at the inn in our fifteen or so visits to Bar Harbor. With the discovery that there were now new owners, we decided to give it a try. We spent a weekend here in March, just before everything in town had been dusted off for the season, which let us establish an intimacy with the town (I know in July I won't be able to diagonally cross the Mount Desert/Main Street intersection without a car in sight). Likewise, it's clear the new proprietors, John and Christine, want to get their feet under themselves before the season gets into full swing. They were very attentive, and a few small details added a touch of finesse. As another reviewer wrote, the same was true for us: cookies (and a welcome card) greeted us in our room ("Toulouse", room number 4). Also, wine glasses were left out for us; we were told to come and go as if it was our own house; and their two young children made a couple of cameo appearances, which left you feeling like you're part of the family. Christine is currently the cook, although a full-time chef is rumored to be waiting in the wings. Her food was outstanding, especially (for me) the ham and egg breakfast cups (with the former being said cups) and the cheese-potato side. This wouldn't surprise me if she was a classically-trained chef, but I had an inkling that she was just a talented home cook. I was proved right when we questioned her on it just before we checked out. It’s worth noting that the dated decor and countless knick-knacks are now gone, and the change is what was needed. With the move away from the expensive fine dining, which restricted the clientele, to a more accessible casual menu, it's looking like the inn will be the jewel of Main Street again this summer and hopefully for many more. We're already looking at booking for June, when a couple of my relatives from Scotland will be over on vacation.
5 out of 5Wonderful B&B
February 17, 2013
Tired of impersonal, sterile hotels? Want more than toast and coffee for breakfast? Then stay here. For the same price, you'll stay in a charming, historic house in the center of town. It's lovely and comfortable and the new proprietors, Christine and John, will make you feel right at home. The rooms are mostly located away from each other, so you won't hear anything--no slamming doors or blaring TVs--but a quiet and romantic retreat. Each room is different, with its own unique charm. There is a sitting area with fireplace downstairs, and a beautiful, intimate bar, where you can relax with a glass of wine at the end of the day. The dining room is airy and bright, and the back patio, where you can take your breakfast in the summer, is not to be missed. The Ivy Manor isn't fully opened at this point (it's still February), but the meals I've had here are first rate, even lavish. Cheers! Paul
