We spent a week vacationing along the coast of Maine. We stayed in B+Bs along the way. This property was in a good location in the heart of town. The property was old and had minimal staff and services - all to be expected with a mid-priced B+B. It was a good value for the money and we enjoyed our stay.
PS - Maine’s coast is amazing and we had a great vacation in Kennebunkport, Camden and Bar Harbor!

Lovely property, great location with walking access to all of Bar Harbor. Parking in Bar Harbor is very hard, so having a local lodge was terrific.

Central House was lovely. The chocolate chip cookies and delicious apples were a treat. The proprietor was very kind and helpful. I expected it to be a Bed and Breakfast, however, and was surprised and disappointed that there was no breakfast!

Had a late check in, so Phil texted us where to park and had the room key set aside for us. He also helped us print out our park passes which was a relief!

The name is apt. You can comfortably walk to any of the restaurants or shops in the area. It is NOT a b&b but it doesn’t claim to be. The rooms are comfortable and the common areas are nice with coffee, tea and hot cocoa readily available. Parking is a premium asset and it was easily accessible. Loved the location and would recommend it to anyone.

Pros - GREAT location - you can walk to everything. Our room was medium in size. Bed was comfortable. Quiet and cool. All electronics/digital connections worked fine. Nice. comfortable porch for sitting reading, browsing on phone, etc. On site parking was fine; we didn't have to move our car at all.
Cons - Soap bars were postage stamp size. There was one waste basket - in the bathroom - 2 would be the minimum I would think. No recycling we could see. Electric outlets were hard to access and probably not enough for 2022. No USB charging outlets.
Cons are kinda picky but there are many other choices of where to stay. That said, we'd definitely stay there again. It's in the heart of Bar Harbor, which is one of our favorite places on earth.

Great experience at the Central House! Location was perfect and incredibly walkable to all restaurants shops and buses to Acadia Park. We enjoyed sitting on the porch in the evenings after a long day of hiking. Phil was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area! Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Great stay at The Central House. It is a lovely historic home, very clean and comfortable, in an amazing location to walk around Bar Harbor. Great access to Bar Harbor boat, bike and bus tours as well (all walkable). We were made to feel very at home from the moment we arrived. We'll be back..... and soon.

We love the fact that the central house truly was centrally located. We could walk anywhere and didn't have to worry about finding a place to park. Location also made it easy to find Acadia national Park. Innkeeper Phil was fabulous.

While old and charming, the Central House is very clean and well maintained. Phil the innkeeper is friendly and accommodating. He responded very quickly to my request to extend my stay. My only complaint is that my room was very warm with no way to control it in the room. After the first night however I worked it out by opening a window and using the ceiling fan.
2.5
Staying in such a historic part of Bar Harbor just seemed right when picking a spot to stay during this trip. Being in the heart of downtown, but just out of all the crowds made it the perfect fit. Loved having breakfast on the porch while the crowd got going along the street!
