The Inn was cute and cozy, very home-like. Homemade muffins were great for breakfast. My only complaint was the beds are old innerspring mattresses. They were not the most comfortable to sleep on. There was no microwave or AC, but we were cool enough with fans.
Clean, quiet property in a convenient location away from the crowds in Bar Harbor but convenient to everywhere. I wish the room had A/C since it was July. The mattress is very very soft.

Nice little place, we enjoyed our stay, convenient location & easy to get to. Small shower but you could get the job done, the beds could use an upgrade on the mattress but it wasn’t a deal breaker, breakfast was more than adequate to get you to lunch, I myself enjoyed it, will definitely be back to spend more time at Otter Creek!!!!!!
Very cozy , great atmosphere, very friendly staff and any requests taken care right away . Clean and comfortable. Close to trail , leading into park.great recommendations for local food / attractions
A wonderful experience. Rooms were well kept. The continental breakfast was fine. The staff was helpful and informative in giving suggestions for sites and activities. If we go to Acadia and Bar Harbor again, Otter Creek Inn will be our first choice for a place to stay.
What a cute mountainside place. Loved to hometown feel and friendly staff. The market next door(which belongs to hotel) is great- has everything including whole, fresh lobsters that they will cook for you!
Dawn was sweet and helpful, the room was clean, and there was a shop next door for all of your adventure needs. I will recommend to any friends or family coming to the area, we will definitely be back! Also amazing views just 10 minutes away. Say hi to Jimmy Wiggles for us.
Great place to stay near Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park! Amazing for families and picnics! Breakfast was really good! Blueberry muffins and the blueberry jelly from Maine so delicious with a warm croissant!!! I would live there the rest of my life
