No. The Inn is one hour drive from Bar Harbor. The Inn was pleasant and I enjoyed talking with the owner. Iwould recommend it.

Elsa's Inn was a very clean and pleasant stay and I would definitely return. Gail was very welcoming and pleasant to speak to as she shared information in regard to the surrounding area as well as the places to go see and things to do. The breakfasts served daily are gourmet quality and delicious. The Inn's location puts you about 1hr and 10 minutes from the Bar Harbor / Acadia area but with the scenery on the way to said locations you will not have an issue with the distance, especially in the fall with the beautiful foliage. It does get really quiet at night so you are able to simply relax and unwind. The rooms were super clean and they take you back in time, loved it!

Elsa's is still our favorite place to stay in the Prospect/Winter Harbor area. It's a cozy, comfortable and quiet Inn, with thoughtful and friendly hosts. The breakfast is reliably delicious. And its just a short drive from artists and their galleries and the Schoodic Penninsula area, which is both beautiful and awesome.

Cobwebs in corners of room and outside lights very bright so not dark in room at all. Shade is needed on bathroom window as you can see in and out no problem.
