A Federal period building, the Blue Hill Inn has eleven guest rooms, a dining room, and two parlors. It retains many of its original features, including clapboards, nine over six windows, wide pumpkin pine floor boards, and six fireplaces.
Room 1 is a charming first-floor corner room with a king size bed that can be converted into two twins upon request. The room boasts original maple flooring and the tiled bathroom has a tub/shower combination. There is a window air conditioner.
This cozy second-floor room features a queen bed with a brass headboard. The bathroom has a tiled shower. The room is centrally air conditioned.
This second-floor room features a queen-sized bed, sitting area with an overstuffed settee, and windows facing south and west. The antique clawfoot bathtub is perfect for soaking in and has a shower as well. This room is centrally air conditioned.
Room 2 is a cozy second-floor suite. The Chinese motif wallpaper and original wide pine flooring complement the furnishings that include a charming twin-size daybed and writing desk in the sitting room and a dresser and double bed in the bedroom. The bathroom has a ceramic tile shower. This room also has a window air conditioner. Prices are for double occupancy (additional person is $30 per night).
A tall four-poster king bed, wood-burning fireplace, and antique clawfoot tub make this room a favorite. The room features original plank pine flooring. Wing back chairs offer comfortable seating. The tub includes a shower fixture as well. Room 4 also has a window air conditioner.
Established c.1927 as the first bathroom in the inn, the bathroom has a pedestal sink and an old-fashioned clawfoot soaking tub with a shower attachment.

5 out of 5WONDERFUL BED & BREAKFAST
September 23, 2012
Me and my partner stayed at the Blue Hill Bed & Breakfast on September 16th and 17th and we were impressed. The guest room was superb. The breakfast was out of this world with style and presentation. The evening appertizers in the living room were especially done and soooooo delicious.

We found the Blue Hill Inn by chance and hit gold. We only stayed one night but should have stayed 2 and skipped our disasterous stay at the Harborside Marina and Hotel in Bar Harbor. While the stairs are a bit steep and narrow, the charm more than made up for my huffing and puffing....we were traveling for 2 weeks with 3 heavy bags. The afternoon tea was wonderful...imagine my wife's surprise when they came up with a bottle of 12 yr old Glen Livvett scotch for her...with a very fair price. Our breakfast was 5 star. We wish we could have tried their optional evening meal and would have if we had a 2nd night. It was hot during our stay but the a/c worked fine. Do not miss this Inn and it's delightful staff/owner.

Policy
Reservation Policy
-
Deposit Amount Required: We ask for a one-night deposit to confirm a reservation. We do not charge a cancellation fee but please see our cancellation policy.
-
Cancellations: Unlike large chain hotels and resorts, we never overbook in anticipation of cancellations. As such, the room you select is reserved for you alone, from the time you book your stay. Each reservation is like a puzzle piece around which all the others fit. Cancellations on short notice make it extremely difficult to rebook vacancies. Your deposit is refundable in the event of a date change or cancellation up to two weeks prior to arrival. Within two weeks of your arrival, you are financially responsible for the amount due for your room(s) as booked, and we are unfortunately not able to accommodate cancellations, change of dates, shortening of your stay, or refunds of any kind. We regret that we have to be so firm with this policy, but we've found it to be crucial to running a small business successfully. If this policy is a concern for you, we highly recommend that you consider travel insurance, which is widely available and will compensate you in the event that unforeseen circumstances disrupt your plans.
