Run by dominant matriarch Marion, the Mira Monte is a lovely friendly B&B where the guests get to sit and chat over breakfast and wine and cheese evenings. Whilst Marion is ever present telling tales of the past, it's her team of all female staff who are the absolute stars - from breakfast through to housekeeping. Only reason I can't... More

I came to New England for a nursing convention in Boston and came out a few extra days so I could visit Maine. I am so glad I did this and that I chose Mira Monte Inn as my place to stay while I was there. Bar Harbor was such a great town to visit and the national park next... More

First visit to Bar Harbor and the Mira Monte Inn was as described by friends. Great charm, I actually sat in a parlor and finish a book I start some weeks earlier. Victorian though out. Rooms were clean, comfortable with a small balcony giving sufficient room for two for evening cocktails. Morning room dressing was done before 10 am. The... More

My husband, daughter, and I spent 4 nights at Mira Monte and couldn't have been happier. We arrived in Bar Harbor without reservations at any of the local accommodations, but I wasn't worried since it was before the season. We checked at a couple of motels that didn't provide breakfast with the rooms, and then we stopped at Mira Monte... More

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Mira Monte Inn for the fifth time. It has come to feel like home. It has the lived-in charm and character one quickly settles into. The bedrooms are airy and spacious with private baths; many have their own patios. The furnishings are antique and Victorian cottage. The beds are reliably comfortable... More

The Mira Monte is one of the gems of Bar Harbor, a warm, welcoming place with great rooms, a great breakfast, and a great location. Owner and host Marian is loaded with local advice and stories, and makes the place special. After a great breakfast, its off for a day of exploring Acadia, Mt. Desert Island, and Bar Harbor itself.... More

First visit to Maine and Acadia National Park. We could have not been more happy with out trip (even the sun came out on the last day). Plenty to do in Bar Harbor - lots of restaurants and quirky shops. Fantastic scenery around the island driving the Park Loop Road and up Mount Cadillac. Bar Harbor was a perfect base... More

Marian has owned this B&B for over 30 years. Wine, and cheese is served every evening. Breakfast is fabulous with a lot of different offerings served buffet style. The main house has a large gathering room, and an enclosed porch with heat to have breakfast in addition to the dining room. It is only a 2 block walk to the... More

We were warmly received by Mira Monte staff from check in through our three night stay. Wine and cheese in the evening served by the staff welcomed us. Good conversation with guests and owner during this time helped us learn about where the guests came from and where they are going. It became our home while we shopped and toured... More
