Balance Rock Inn

$$$$, Bar Harbor


Fodor's Review:

This grand summer cottage built in 1903 commands a prime waterfront location. An expansive lawn and gardens full of annuals lead down to the ocean. Even if your room doesn't have an ocean view, you can enjoy it from a wicker chair on the porch. Rooms are spacious and meticulously furnished with reproduction pieces -- four-poster and canopy beds in guest rooms, crystal chandeliers and a grand piano in common rooms. All rooms have whirlpool tubs, and some have fireplaces. A buffet-style breakfast is served each morning. Pros: A lovely, old-fashioned place with a good breakfast. Con: A little on the pricey side.
