Bluenose Inn Details
Nestled on Eden Street in Bar Harbor, the Bluenose Inn provides a welcoming retreat with sweeping views of the harbor and Acadia's surrounding landscape. It's a convenient base for exploring both the town and the national park. The property's roots trace back to 1884, when Mrs. William Morris Hunt built her summer estate, Mizzentop, on this site. The original stonework from her "palatial cottage" still forms the foundation, giving the inn a sense of enduring history amidst its elegant architecture. Guests here can enjoy classically appointed rooms, many offering water views, and unwind after a day of exploration. The Great Room Piano Lounge, with nightly live music, offers a cozy atmosphere, while the indoor and outdoor pools provide a refreshing break. The Looking Glass Restaurant is noted for its breakfast views. From here, it's easy to access Acadia National Park for hiking and scenic drives, or stroll into downtown Bar Harbor for shops and dining. The inn's location makes it ideal for experiencing the best of Mount Desert Island.
