The Central House

We spent a week there last month. Central house is charming and the name is spot on. The location is fantastic, just a block off Main street and less than a 10 minute walk to everything. The room was beautiful and we loved the front porch. The owner was readily available if anything was needed. This is the first B&B we have stayed in that did not have breakfast but there are lots of great breakfast spots you can walk to in minutes. Our favorite was "This Way Cafe". The only complaint was the room did not have dark curtains so it was light in the room early. We get up early anyway so not much of a problem for us but I can see how some might not like that. The common area has lots of books if you need one, I would have liked a couple quiet board games too (chess/checks, Scrabble, maybe a card game of two. We had a little rain so that would have been nice. Overall I highly recommend it.

We stayed four nights here (in July 2023) and had a great time. The room (202) was very comfortable and had its own AC unit. The location is fabulous - perfect for walking out to breakfast across the street, or dinner at any of the many restaurants down the street. The parking is a huge feature - it’s so hard to park downtown during peak season. We could walk to our Puffin & Lighthouse cruise, or walk to rent bikes for the carriage roads (highly recommend the e-bikes for this - we had so much fun!).

Excellent location in Bar Harbor a few steps away from shops and restaurants. Beautiful historic house. Rooms and bathrooms are very clean. Ideal place to visit Acadia NP while enjoying a good time in Bar Harbor

The Inn was perfect! Everything was nice and cozy, was greeted by our host with fresh baked cookies upon arrival. Coffee bar available as well as kitchen area for use. Couldn’t have been happier with our stay!!

We stayed here this past June for 4 nights and would stay there again. This place is just as the name implies. It's "Central" to everything Bar Harbor. Our bed was comfortable and the room service was excellent. We met some very nice people during our stay and Phil, the innkeeper, was one of them Keep up the good work!

The Central House, as its name would imply, is centrally located to anywhere you want to be in Bar Harbor. The rooms are clean and air-conditioned, the bed is comfortable, and the innkeeper is friendly. There is off-street parking for mid-sized cars and trucks, but if you show up with a larger truck or SUV, you might have difficulty parking. A very nice location and a very nice value.

The Central House is absolutely gorgeous. Beth was extremely kind and made our stay perfect. The house is aptly named: central to Bar Harbor. The rooms are clean, spacious, and the entire house is well maintained. The price is low but the quality is high. I would absolutely stay here again.

This place is the most adorable place to stay the night around Acadia and Bar Harbor. The owners are so nice and friendly and make sure that your stay is enjoyable. I love that is near all the food/bars/stores and a short drive from most of Acadia's trails. I would definitely love to stay here again if I come up to Acadia again.

We enjoyed our five day stay at The Central House on Cottage street in Bar Harbor Maine in June 2019. The location in town is marvelous and within walking distance to most of this quaint seaside town. We chose an upstairs front corner room with a window to the front of of the house and one on the side. It was a smallish room but had its own bath with a small shower. If street noise disturbs you, you might want to choose a room away from the front of this lovely old Victorian house. Because of the cool weather, we were able to sleep with the windows open at night. We found parking on the premises each day. Coffee available by Keurig available in the nice sunroom. The price per night for our accommodations Monday thru Thursday was great for the location. It was a little more expensive for Friday night but still a good deal.

A picturesque old Inn right in the heart of Bar Harbor, we found the accomadations classy and cozy. Free coffee and tea any time of day, wuth plenty of common sitting rooms. The staff is very knowagable and friendly. You are no more than a 10 minute walk from anything fun in town, and a less than 3 minute walk from the main shopping and eating district. We will deffinitly be staying here in the future.

Charming, easy walk to everything in Bar Harbor, exactly what we needed after a day exploring Acadia. 100% would stay here again next time we're in Maine.

I've stayed here several times. It feels like home with the best location! The innkeeper are amazing too!

Great place to stay within walking distance to everything in Bar Harbor. Bed was comfy, everyone was friendly, great price. Highly recommend!

Perfect central location to downtown bar harbor, reasonably priced, clean rooms, parking on site. Minutes from Acadia. Free Keurig. Lady running place is sweet.

Excellent location, friendly staff, great place to relax amid town. Nothing is far away. Significantly better coffee bar then any place I've stayed at recently.

Great place to stay when visiting Bar Harbor! Easy walking distance to all shops and access to Acadia National Park. Very friendly staff as well!

Central location to basically everything in downtown bar harbor. Extremely polite and accommodating staff, good rates, cute house and rooms. Would definitely come back again.

Cottage Street Bakery and Deli prices, service, and food is excellent. Best price for lobster dinner in Bar Harbor only $12.99.

Fair price. loved our room. fantastic customer service and we were right in the middle of everything. i would definitely stay here again!

Very quaint and cozy. In the heart of the town. Great location to everything. Parking available but limited. Very clean and nice looking rooms.
