Introduction
Read More
Come experience the magic of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park at an elegant in-town 1886 waterfront Victorian Inn on the shores of Frenchman Bay. Three blocks from the center of town, Saltair Inn Waterfront Bed and Breakfast is set on over one acre of waterfront property. An expansive back lawn slopes gently from the rear of the house to the water's edge. Low tide reveals a sand bar connecting Saltair Inn Waterfront Bed and Breakfast property to Bar Island, from which Bar Harbor takes its name.
Constructed in 1886 by Boston architect Arthur Rotch, The Saltair has been carefully renovated to accommodate guests while preserving the original architecture and period elements of its Victorian heritage. Enjoy panoramic ocean views from the privacy of your own intimate suite. Each accommodation offers thoughtful appointments and amenities appreciated by modern travelers without compromising the historic legacy of the home. All guest rooms feature elegant private baths en suite and standard amenities including luxury bed linens, gas fireplaces, cable TV, CD players, and wireless internet access.
Grab a cup of fresh-brewed gourmet coffee before breakfast and stroll down the back lawn to the water's edge. Adirondack chairs set at the shoreline offer the perfect place to relax and contemplate which of Acadia's natural treasures you will enjoy that day.
Breakfast will include an offering of fresh fruit, homemade granola and other cereal choices, freshly baked muffins and pastries, juice, tea and coffee, and one of Matt and Kristi's favorite hot dishes such as Maine blueberry pancakes or a breakfast strata. Depending on current weather conditions, breakfast may be served on the rear deck overlooking Frenchman Bay, or in the formal dining room accompanied by a cheery fire.

The Area

A trip to Bar Harbor would not be complete without spending some time exploring the 47,000 acres of Acadia National Park. Surrounded by the park on three sides and three miles from the main entrance, Bar Harbor makes an ideal base camp. Explore the park at your own pace, or solicit one of Bar Harbor's professional guides, outfitters, mariners or instructors whose only goal is to help you make the most of the opportunities available in our unique environment. The 27-mile scenic Park Loop Road, 55 miles of carriage roads for walking, biking, and cross-county skiing through the heart of the park, and 120 miles of hiking trails ensure that you will never run out of new destinations.
The Village Green, town pier, and a variety of unique shops, galleries and restaurants are a five to ten-minute walk from The Saltair Inn. The Inn is convenient to everything in town, yet far enough removed to preserve the peaceful tranquility of its distinguished location in the Bar Harbor Historic District.
Since the mid-19th century when it was primarily artists, scholars, scientists, and writers who journeyed here for inspiration and tranquility, Bar Harbor has evolved into one of the most popular resort destinations on the eastern seaboard. Indoors or out, Bar Harbor now offers something for everyone. Shopping, dining, music festivals, museums, free concerts on the Village Green, and special community events are only a few of the activities to keep you busy within the village.
