Holland Inn and Cranberry Cottages, Bar Harbor, Maine

Holland Inn - a Bed and Breakfast in Bar Harbor, Maine. The inn is one of the newest in town, being fully renovated and created from scratch in 1997. The second building was brand new in 2002. The Holland Inn is the only first generation B&B [that we know of] in the village. It is crafted it in a comfortable, Non-Victorian style. Just minutes from Acadia National Park, the nine room inn offers an outstanding location just a few short blocks from the ocean, pier, and shops and restaurants that the town is famous for. The generous yard and gardens surrounding the bed and breakfast offer an out-of-town tranquility, while the location offers in-town convenience.

All rooms have private baths, cable tv, and A/C. There is wireless internet available in most areas. An exceptional full gourmet breakfast is included in the rate and special diets are always welcome. The inn has plenty of off-street parking.

There are five rooms in the main house. This house was first opened as an inn, brand new in 1997. The room names are derived from mountains and hikes on the island. You do not need to climb to the rooms. This building houses the inns' common areas. The living room, parlor, and sun porch each offer ways to peruse maps, menus and local information. The sun porch also offers a variety of games for your enjoyment. The "at home" feeling of the house and bedrooms, the innkeeper sharing local insight, and the joy and surprise of a new and different gourmet breakfast every morning really sets the Holland Inn apart.

In 2002, the property was expanded across the backyard, adding four brand new rooms, with the renovation of what is called the Quietside Cottage. This house sits just behind the main house with a big open yard and nicely landscaped paths to take you between.
Most of the rooms in this house are larger than the main house rooms and have significant sitting areas, some with a balcony or private patio. There are no common areas in the Quietside Cottage. The nine light-filled rooms all have private baths with modern amenities, A/C, and cable TV, all with an inviting country decor.Wireless internet access is available in most areas.
