Elsa's is still our favorite place to stay in the Prospect/Winter Harbor area. It's a cozy, comfortable and quiet Inn, with thoughtful and friendly hosts. The breakfast is reliably delicious. And its just a short drive from artists and their galleries and the Schoodic Penninsula area, which is both beautiful and awesome.

Warm and knowledgeable hostess. Personally welcomed each guest and showed us to our rooms. Breakfast served between 0800-0830 so we missed it both days as we had already left for adventures at Acadia National Park which is slightly over an hour away. Smelled delicious. Recommended local restaurants with good food. View was beautiful, room was clean and comfortable. Would stay here again and plan to enjoy breakfast and more conversations.

We stayed for 5 days at Elsa's Inn. If you drive its a ways from Acadia NP, but so close to the one side of the park that no one really ever goes to, Schoodic, its so worth being in Peospect Harbor. It's beautiful. Gail and the family are very nice and helpful. Breakfast was delicious! They allow pets (yellow lab), which was awesome.

Great place to stay at Perfect Harbor

This is a nice B&B if you decide to stay on Perfect Harbor during your Acadia visit. The host is very friendly and accomodating, ensuring you have a pleasant stay. Breakfast was fresh and hot. You can see the lighthouse right from the porch.
