Elsa's Inn is a lovey spot for quiet scenic stays - the bed and pillows were lush and the rooms are furnished with beautiful antiques. Staff are super friendly and helpful, they went out of their way to assit me with a small issue. I will return whenever I am in the area.

Two-night stay. Actually, thought this was located in Bar Harbor but as it turned out preferred Prospect Harbor! Quaint and relaxing. Friendly hosts and wonderful breakfast. Just enough to start your day! We had Sarah's room and found the room size just perfect, and the bed was very comfortable.
