We spent three nights here and enjoyed every minute of it. We are from the west coast and Patty was a great help on giving us ideas on what to see and do. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. We also enjoyed chatting with all the other guest - meeting people from all parts of the country.

... my boyfriend and i stayed three nights at the Cranberry Hill Inn, and were thrilled with our choice. the cranberry hill inn is walking distance to southwest harbor, so we could simply walk down to dinner in town and not have to get in the car. patti, the owner, was a font of knowledge about places to go and things to see, and she is an excellent cook. i can not say enough about the wonderful breakfasts that she prepared for us. our room had a sitting area with a private back entrance, and was very comfortable and immaculately clean. there were books and movies that we could borrow, which was a lovely touch.

the only caveat i would give is that our room (the Down East Suite) would not be a good choice for light sleepers or late risers. when we checked in, patti warned us that the walls were thin. we did not realize until 6:00 am the next morning, however, that our room, and out bed, was directly under the dining room. every noise echoed. as i am an early riser, this wasn't a problem for me at all. but light sleepers might want to ask for a room away from the common rooms. overall, however, i would definitely go back!

We recently had the pleasure to stay at the Cranberry Hill Inn. Owner, Patti Selig is so friendly, you feel as if you are visiting any old friend. Our room was spacious and had a nice view of the back garden. Breakfasts were delicious, afternoon cookies and tea were also a special treat. Only complaint would be the television in our suite - we were there during the lead-up to Hurricane Irene and the 9" tv was a little small to keep up with the storm. Patti was very understanding when we needed to cut our stay by one day due to the storm the need to be closer to our departure airport. Wonderful inn and innkeeper. We loved our stay.

This was exactly what we were looking for. We had been traveling up the Eastern Seaboard for a week and been staying in 3+ star hotels. Our plan was to spend a few days near Bar Harbor in a B&B, so we chose this Inn in Southwest Harbor (the other side of Mt. Desert island)...btw, the "we" is my wife, two teenagers, and I.
We booked the Captain Mayo suite. It was HUGE! We had our own private bathroom and the kids slept around the corner of the same room. The Innkeeper even made two separate beds for the kids (normally they would have had to share).
Patti (the innkeeper) and her husband were so gracious. We called ahead that we were going to arrive late, and they were very accommodating The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and filling. The food was fresh and obviously used local produce (berries...incredible). I just wish I had not been watching my weight, because I would have eaten more!
The main reason why we chose a B&B was to really get immersed in the local flavors of the area. The Cranberry Hill Inn delivered on that front, also. Breakfast conversation was interesting and enjoyable, and we got some good tips on what to do in the area.
If we ever make it back to Maine and the Bar Harbor area, our choice of lodging will be the Cranberry Hill Inn!
