"We especially loved the beds. We didn't expect to find a hotel with a Select Comfort bed, but we really appreciated it since that is what we sleep on at home. But this bed was even more comfortable because it had a feather bed and really luxurious sheets... good ideas for our bedroom at home!" Beaufort, SC

The old mansion has been turned into a very tranquil inn, the public areas are beautifully restored, the bedrooms are a delight, the bed has the option of hard or soft mattresses, the sheets are superbly soft. Breakfast is served in a delightful room. The staff were most helpful and courteous, and the location was perfect. A true delight." Portland, OR

"Each night we slept with the window open and enjoyed the cool breeze that came in off the ocean." - Connecticut

"Tucked down a quiet side alley just off Bar Harbor's main drag, the Balance Rock reaches for and achieves a gracefully upscale Long Island beach house feel....You enter a sitting room, which looks out onto the sort of azure outdoor pool you'd expect to find in a Tuscan villa." - Frommers

"The panoramic view of Frenchman's Bay will likely inspire three R's (probably all three, but certainly at least one): romance, relaxation and rejuvenation.... Sometimes in the hectic lives that we may live, the inn is a rock to come home to -- whether it's the first time or the tenth. Just reserve an extra day to soak it all up." - Stacy Lytwyn Maxwell, Romantic Inns and Hotels

"There is so much to do in Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, that one can easily spend weeks at a time, or return year after year - biking, hiking, rock climbing, camping, kayaking, fishing, whale and seal watching, lobstering, sailing, boating, diving, golfing and mini-golfing, exploring Native American history and museums, galleries and shops, music festivals and entertainment, and simply exploring and enjoying the exquisite scenery of ocean, wilderness, mountains and lakes." - Karen Rubin, Family Travel Network
