A little quaint manor abounding in charm and hospitality. We loved the breakfasts, afternoon treats, friendly service, and large, adorable decorated rooms.
Wonderful stay with a delicious breakfast. Location is close to anything you may need right on the outskirts of town, without all the hustle and bustle.
The Cleftstone Inn is a beautiful property. It's an older hotel but it's been updated and the rooms are really nice. Parking is right outside the main entrance. They have a homemade breakfast that varies from day to day that was really delicious. Acadia is just a short drive away so it's really convenient. We would definitely stay there again.
We had a fantastic time at The Cleftstone. The staff was accommodating and friendly - Steffen and Corey were awesome. The whole Inn is super clean, classy, and homey. We stayed in Room 14 for our honeymoon and it was gorgeous! We also can’t say enough about the breakfast. It was insanely good!

Vacation to remember
We had an amazing stay. Staff pleasant and accommodating with any need. Breakfast was fabulous enjoyed every meal. In walking distance of shops and restaurants.
We loved our stay at Cleftstone. Stephen, the Inn Keeper, was attentive, friendly, & helpful as was every staff person we encountered. The breakfast was scrumptious. Wish we had more time to stay longer. Bar Harbor is a wonderful place and Cleftstone made for a delightful respite from leaf peeping and Maine shore sight seeing. Thank you so much!
We stayed in room 18. It is a hike of steps so pack light. The breakfast was great. The staff was friendly and helpful. Just make sure you know what your room is when you book.
Lovely old period house with an eclectic layout. Rooms 1 (we were in 1) and 2 backoff reception and the lounge, so you go to sleep with the last guest and rise with the earlist. The Inn was understaffed but they did do their best.
This was the absolute cutest property of our week in Maine. Every room was beautifully decorated and the details made everything so charming. By the way, the best sleeping pillows too! They also served breakfast in the morning and it was delicious! This Inn is off the beaten path of Bar Harbour which is nice during high season. We loved everything about it. If going to Bar Harbour, it's a must!
The Inn is beautiful with a great lication. The room was clean, newly remodeled and comfortable. We stayed four nights and breakfast the first morning was excellent. i was expecting the breakfasts pictured on their website, sadly, those items were never offered. We bought breakfast the third and fourth mornings after the second day's was extremely disappointing.
Only got to stay 1 night but everything was so enjoyable! Very clean, comfy beds, updated amenities but still had a vintage charm. The girl at the front desk (Sam) was so welcoming and quick to help - answering questions and offering to print my Acadia parking pass for example. This was my first time staying at an Inn and needless to say, I’m eager to visit again!
Will stay again. Stefan runs an excellent property. Needs more A/C to handle the hottest days of the year but he and his staff run a wonderful old inn newly renovated .
