The Cleftstone Inn features 17 air-conditioned rooms equipped with plasma TVs, private bathrooms, and garden views, with select rooms offering balconies or fireplaces. A three-course breakfast serves fresh local ingredients, including blueberry muffins, fluffy quiche, and Belgian waffles with Maine maple syrup. The property houses Joseph Pulitzer's 12-foot tiger oak dining table and a rare amber glass collection in the parlor with a fireplace. Guests have access to a library with games, books, and free Wi-Fi, plus Abby's Retreat sunporch for wine and appetizers. The Cleftstone Manor sits 0.3 miles from the George B. Dorr Museum of Natural History and 12.5 miles from Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport.

“The Inn stands out for its dedication to Maine, from its blueberry coffee to its focus on local ingredients at breakfast. I was particularly drawn to its history, blended tastefully with modern updates in the rooms. The communal spaces invite conversation, enhancing the Inn's inviting, social atmosphere.”
