The Maples Inn

The Maples is clean and comfortable.
Leigh & Matt make extra effort to accommodate guests.
Breakfast is amazing.
We loved hot apple pie, scrambled eggs & beacon.
One can easily walk everywhere in Bar Harbor.
We recommend the Maples when you visit Bar Harbor

We are currently on our way home from an incredible weekend in Bar Harbor. Leigh and Matt were prefect hosts with great attention to detail and thoughtful touches everywhere. We were in town celebrating our anniversary (it also doubled as a babymoon) and arrived to chocolate-​covered strawberries and macaroons upon check in. Leigh was so helpful in giving us information for our planned excursion to Acadia, and also helped us find great places for dinner both nights. Warm, hearty– homemade breakfasts each morning and homemade snacks each afternoon were such a treat. Words cannot do the breakfasts justice — they were amazing. The Maples is hands-​down one of the cleanest B&Bs I’ve ever stayed in. Every nook was absolutely spotless. The care that Leigh and Matt show for their guests cannot be understated. The next time we retreat to Bar Harbor as a couple, The Maples will be our place of choice.

My husband and I stayed here for one night this past Labor Day weekend. It was our first time staying at a bed & breakfast.
Leigh and her husband are sweet as sugar. They’re perfectly hospitable, we felt right at home.
The room was so charming and the breakfast was AMAZING.
We don’t plan on staying anywhere else when we visit Bar Harbor, ever!

We just spent 2 nights at The Maes Inn. It is conveniently located between town and Acadia. The place is spotless. The warm personal touches make you feel so welcome. From our names on our doors to the personalized menu, Matt and Leigh went out of their way to make our visit perfect!
Breakfast was divine! My favorite was the cinnamon French toast with Maine blueberry syrup. Even the sausage is homemade.
I’d never stay anywhere else.

Staying at Maples Inn Bed and Breakfast was truly a remarkable experience. We were greeted by the inn owner, Leigh, who gave a brief tour of the house and extensive info, as well as brochures, of Bar Harbor. We stayed in the Red Oak room, which was located on the third floor. Going up the stairs we came across a library, which had a «take one, leave one» policy, as well as some games you could borrow. Inside our room we had a private balcony, know as the tree house. Each room comes equipped with luxurious bath soaps, bath towels, and guest robes.
Every morning you are invited to have breakfast, cooked to order by the husband of the inn owner, Matt. After grabbing a cup of coffee, from the lobby area, you can sit down and have a look at your personalized menu. With more than four choices to choose from, you can’t seem to make up your mind. Accompanied with every breakfast, are either fresh scones or breads, also prepared by Matt. And in the afternoons, there are different cookies to munch on!
My only regret while staying at this wonderful inn was that I couldn’t stay any longer. I cannot wait to return!

We just wrapped up our fourth stay at Maples Inn, and we had a wonderful time. New innkeepers, Leigh & Matt went out of their way to make sure we had a great Bar Harbor/​Acadia vacation.
Matt prepared awesome breakfasts for us every morning. It was great have 3 or 4 options to choose from, but it was so hard to choose. Our favorite was the carne asada omelet with house made sausage. It was great to get a little Southwest spice while in New England, but everything else on the daily menus (blueberry French toast, fiddlehead omelets, etc) was great too. It is obvious that Matt and Leigh have a good time serving their guest and we really appreciated having fun with them each morning during breakfast.
The inn was spotlessly clean and well cared for. We stayed in the Red Oak room again. We love the little deck in the tree tops and hanging out up there after a long day of hiking in the national park.
Definitely consider staying at Maples Inn on your next trip to Bar Harbor.

I approach B&B’s with much trepidation; not sure of the physical space, the degree of privacy and most importantly, the owners’ personalities. At Maples Inn my fears were allayed — our stay there far exceeded all expectations.
Innkeepers Leigh & Matt have hospitality in their veins and their collective experiences run deep, well beyond their years. From the charming suite with working fireplace in their 1902 house, to the huge fluffy beds with crisp linens, personalized menus with choices of well-​executed entrees, the targeted recommendations on where to go & what to do, the waiting port in crystal glasses with homemade cookies at night, this husband and wife team have it going on. Their skills each perfectly complement one another. Wonderful aromas of baking throughout the day, Eggs Benedict with Lobster if you want, trading easy stories with warm humor, smiling faces and respectful interactions with their guests all made us feel like we may have left with two new friends.
We experienced personalized luxury that is very hard to replicate. When we return to Bar Harbor, we will not consider staying anywhere else. Somehow, in a short two-​day visit, the Maples Inn became our new home.

I highly recommend this B&B to anyone looking to stay in the Bar Harbor are (near Acadia Nat’l Park). We chose this place because of the great reviews and it surpassed our expectations!
I called to make the reservations and Leigh was super nice and courteous. I decided not to book immediately and said I would call back if we were interested and there was no pressure from her to reserve anything. I eventually called back and she was again very kind.
Upon arrival we were very kindly greeted by Leigh and given a «tour» of the cozy place. There was plenty of coffee, hot chocolate, tea and water available and even homemade macaroons!
Our room was just as described – very cozy and adorable. I absolutely loved it! They even put our names on the door which I thought was a super cute addition.
The amenities in the bathroom (soaps, robe, towels, etc) were all very luxurious! The bedroom was a great size and the bed was ridiculous comfortable.
Breakfast was cooked to order with our names printed in the menus. How cute?! The pancakes were delicious! My boyfriend doesn’t eat pork and they didn’t have turkey or chicken sausages so Leigh took a quick trip to the store to buy some. (:
They are located very close to «downtown» where there is a large selection of restaurants and shops.
I felt very comfortable throughout our whole stay, referring to the location, the room and with Leigh and Matt. They’re very friendly people who gave us great suggestions on where to eat and navigating the Park.

My husband and I had a fantastic stay at this B&B. The room was very comfortable. The inn is within close walking distance to everything (restaurants, grocery store, bike/​kayak rentals, shops, bus to Acadia) as it is on a quiet and beautiful street in downtown Bar Harbor. It is a short drive to Acadia, and the inn has countless guide books for the park and surrounding areas.
Breakfast was phenomenal, and the innkeeper is kind and knowledgeable about the area.
We wish we could have stayed longer!

Had a very nice stay here. The room was very clean and comfortable. We stayed in the Silver Maple Room on the second floor. Mark the owner is a very accommodating host and innkeeper. Breakfast was 8:30 every morning but he had coffee and tea, muffins and pastries out by 6:30 if you were an early riser. He is very very knowledgeable about the local restaurant and things to do scene. The inn is decorated with his antiques and things passed down from his family. Located within an easy flat 5 minute walk to downtown shops, galleries, restaurants, and waterfront. About 2 miles to Acadia National Park entrance. It’s located on a very quiet residential street. Leave your car here and just walk around and enjoy the village.

The definition of a wonderful B and B experience. Lovely room with a private deck, sparkling conversation with interesting guests (we wee invited to sample some New England brewed vodka on the front porch). Most of all, the owner (Mark) and his breakfasts are wonderful. A hearty recommendation from both me and my husband. Another plus… gay owned and gay friendly.

Maples Inn is the most delightful, charming B&B I’ve ever stayed at. My friends and I took a road trip up the coast, and we were only able to stay here for one night, but we wished it could have been much longer! The breakfasts here are delicious and beautiful, the rooms (we stayed in the Birch Suite) charming and lovely (the bed was so soft and comfortable), and the innkeeper, Mark, was super thoughtful and helpful, friendly but not overbearing. We absolutely LOVED staying here; I would plan a trip back to Bar Harbor just to be able to stay at Maples Inn!

Big house in town. Loved it! Good food. Nice guy! Parking is a little tricky.

I can’t believe there are only 2 reviews on this place! It deserves a lot more recognition than that.
My boyfriend and I stayed here for 5 days in the middle of July and it was such a wonderful experience. Before we even left, we were talking about coming back again!
It’s a great location because it’s right by everything and you can walk everywhere, but it’s on a side street that’s nice and quiet. The garden in the front is full of beautiful flowers and we spent every night reading and drinking wine on the big front porch.
Mark was the most hospitable, kind, and helpful innkeeper in the world! Anyone who feels unsure about the B&B experience should go for it at the Maples. He makes you feel very comfortable and welcomed right away. Not to mention, his AMAZING breakfast. Holy moly! I don’t think I’ve ever had such amazing breakfast food. Every day was something different and more delicious than the last. We woke up after only 2 hours of sleep (we had gone up Cadillac Mountain to watch the sunrise) just to have the breakfast. Mark always had great suggestions of things to do and places to check out.
The room and bathroom was not huge (we stayed in the English Holly room), but in a place like Bar Harbor/​Acadia you don’t spend much time in the room. We had been on a road trip for 2 weeks and all of our luggage fit in the room with no issues. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the rooms were clean and well decorated.
Stay here if you’re headed to Bar Harbor… you won’t regret it!

Quaint and quiet bed & breakfast just steps away from the touristy hustle and bustle of downtown Bah Hahbah. Excellent quality and value.
The Inn was spotless and tastefully decorated with antiques for a New England B&B. Our suite was SO cozy! I felt like I was sleeping at home in my own bed! The linens were nice quality and even though the shower was small (stall-​style) the bed and sitting room made up for it.
The Innkeeper was extremely friendly and nice… eager to make dining recommendations and reservations if needed.
We couldn’t stay for their gourmet breakfast, but I truly wish we could have!!! They were making macadamia pancakes! OH BOY!!!
Maples Inn is also gay-​friendly.+++
