Yellow House Inn

Yellow House Inn is an adults-only bed and breakfast housed in an 1870s antique building, combining traditional B&B charm with boutique hotel touches as Bar Harbor's second oldest home. The property offers seven unique, light-filled guest rooms with private baths, including the first-floor Jack's Room, Malvern, Linzee, and the Standard King Room; guests can borrow hiking backpacks, yoga mats, and blankets. A daily elevated continental breakfast features fruit, a hot entree, and pastry, with gluten-free options available, though one guest noted breakfast may be limited to a boiled egg or small quiche slice on some mornings. The inn hosts a daily happy hour with blueberry margaritas and wines, plus painting workshops and watercolor instruction led by resident artist Sara on the wrap-around porch. Guests have access to a 24/7 pantry with snacks, protein bars, and juices, an outdoor fire pit, a garden, and complimentary Wi-Fi and on-site parking. Located on a quiet street just a 2-minute walk from downtown Bar Harbor's Main Street, shopping, restaurants, and the harbor, the inn is a 5-minute walk from Town Beach and The Abbe Museum, near Agamont Park and Island Artisans. Acadia National Park is a short drive away, and Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport is 20 km from the property. The inn's central yet private position allows guests to walk everywhere without needing a car, with the shore path easily accessible. The Yellow House Inn provides a serene, secure retreat despite being in the middle of Bar Harbor's activity.
