Cleftstone Inn Details
Nestled on Eden Street in Bar Harbor, the Cleftstone Inn provides a distinctive stay just moments from the village center and the entrance to Acadia National Park. Originally completed around 1881, this grand 19th-century mansion once served as the summer retreat for Joseph Pulitzer. Its architecture and ornate details evoke the gilded era, offering a tangible connection to Bar Harbor's rich past. Following a comprehensive restoration, guests can now enjoy accommodations that blend historic character with modern comforts. Common spaces invite relaxation, perhaps on a porch overlooking the grounds, providing a quiet retreat after a day of exploration. From here, it's an easy stroll to Bar Harbor's shops and waterfront, or a short drive to the scenic trails and coastal vistas within Acadia National Park.
