Yellow House Inn - A historic 1872 boutique property with seven light-filled rooms and private gardens in downtown Bar Harbor

Located on a quiet side street in Bar Harbor's downtown district, this historic Bar Harbor hotel occupies the city's second-oldest home, dating back to 1872. Yellow House Inn features seven unique guest rooms, each equipped with a private bathroom, sitting area, and smart TV. The property showcases original period details including hardwood floors, paned windows, and high ceilings, complemented by a wraparound porch with hanging ferns and modern deck furniture. A butler's pantry provides 24-hour access to gourmet coffee, teas, and snacks, while the dining room serves a daily elevated continental breakfast featuring fresh pastries, fruits, overnight oats, and egg dishes. Common areas include a sitting room with a gas fireplace and a landscaped garden with native vegetation, walkways, and a fire pit. Yellow House Inn stands just steps from the Shore Path's coastal walking trail and 15 minutes by car from Acadia National Park.

Pros

Original 19th-century architectural features maintained throughout the property

Daily elevated continental breakfast with gluten-free and vegan options

Complimentary backpacks and picnic blankets available for guest use

On-site watercolor workshops offered Tuesday through Saturday

Cons

Minimum age requirement of 16 years for guests

No pet accommodations available

“This adults-only inn offers a compelling blend of historic charm and boutique-hotel luxury, just a short distance from Acadia National Park. Its location provides both tranquility and quick access to Bar Harbor's dining and shops. The wine hour, painting workshops, and sculpture garden add unique character; it seems like a good base for those who want both seaside relaxation and cultural exploration.”
