“Beautiful View!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

My wife and I stayed in the room"Dauntless" in September. The view was unbelieveable! The Ocean, Acadia Mountains and small Islands off Mt Desert Island. We saw some spectacular Sunrise and Sunsets from this room and deck. Great view from the king size bed room plus a cozy sitting room and private Bathroom with a Claw Foot Tub. The Inn has many beautiful Antiques that I understand has been collected by the owners family for over 50 years. The staff was very friendly and informative about where to go all over the Island, Cruises and what to do. There was a nice Continental Breakfast with homemade Blueberry muffins, fresh fruit, yogurt/granola, bagels/cream cheese, etc to hold you over before heading out to go exploring. We highly recommend this Inn.

Maine hospitality at it's finest. Location heaven. Amenities very comfortable. Can't wait to return! Great to be away from Bar Harbor with it's overload of cruise ships and jaded restaurant servers.

I stayed in the suite Dauntless for four nights. It has a beautiful view of the ocean and mountains from the comfortable king size bed. We saw amazing sunrises and sunsets. We could see all the mountains of the National park. It had a very cozy sitting room and the bath tub was a unique clawfoot type. The staff where very friendly and helpful about telling us places to go. We can't wait to go back next year!!! Thank you

“A place to get away from it all”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

This is a great option for those looking to be a bit removed from Bar Harbor. I agree with some of the other reviews here that the Moorings Inn is a quaint option. The bed was really comfortable and it was awesome to sit out on the lawn in the morning to watch the boats coming and going from the marina. The staff we encountered were very friendly and accommodating. As far as the "bones" of the our room, we attempted to open one of the windows and the blinds came tumbling down. As we tried to put them back up, we noticed that the bracket was hanging from the wall by a thread. Nothing a hammer and nail couldn't fix, but considering this is not an inexpensive lodging, you'd think these types of things would be taken care of. Every time i moved, the headboard did too. Not sure if it was attached to the bed frame or not.

Room Tip: I realize you can't control whether others are rude or considerate, but the Osprey room is right...

“Never ever again - rotten place”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed in the Island Queen room. When we arrived a was glad to stay only for one night. That was the most expensive and rotten place and we had on our two week tour throughout Maine. It was very disappointing when we arrived. We got this as a wedding present and the room looked totally different from what was shown in the internet
We have to admit - great view - but the rest, forget it. If the owner says they have antique furniture in the rooms - I have to disagree - they are old and something for the trash. Wires for TV etc. were hanging around - not hidden somewhere. We have seen much nicer, friendlier and cheaper places in much better shape. We know, the season is short, and everybody should earn money, but not like this.
The bathroom was of poor quality for an Inn of this standard.

If we ever come to Maine again, we will not stay in this place and we will not recommend it to anyone.

Dear Guest,

Island Queen is part of the lighthouse wing that extends from the main house of the inn toward the water. It is an appealing room with its amenities of kitchenette, king size bed, and ocean deck. However, it is not in the main house of the inn. Per your review we have had our electrician re-evaluate the wiring of that room, and are making any necessary improvements. As all of our rooms, suites, & cottages are uniquely different we really do welcome these concerns in person. We could then make the necessary enhancements and upgrade you to an accommodation that you are happy with.

Sincerely,
The Moorings Inn
