Lovely house, great food, excellent hospitality from Gretchen. Thank you for letting us watch the baseball! We are now safe back in the UK and are missing the lobster and the friendly people of Maine. Thanks you for a great stay, we hope to be back.

“PENURY HALL - a perfect place to stay when on MDI”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2011

person found this review helpful

Penury Hall is a wonderfully Maine-like place full of mementos and antiques, with comfy beds, private baths and hearty breakfasts. It's convenient to restaurants, a wonderful museum (Wendell Gilley), and of course the spectacular natural beauty of Acadia.

Gretchen is warm and kind.

Lovely Room, Delightful Hostess. The BnB is quiet, but located near restaurants. Our Hostess, Gretchen Strong, was wonderful. She had wonderful sightseeing suggestions. It is away from the crowds of Bar Harbor. We loved it.

“Penury Hall = Cozy and Friendly”

Penury Hall is the best B&B to stay! It's situated in the middle of Southwest Harbor, at 1 minute walk of different restaurants and Sawyer's Market, a cute and old style market.
Gretchen is a wonderful hostess, she will help you plan your trip through all of the best activities and place you should go.
The rooms are quiet, clean and cozy and they all got their private bathroom. You'll even found some chocolate in your room, over the dresser!
It you plan to go to Bar Harbor in a cozy and friendly place, choose Penury Hall!
