Elsa's Inn on the Harbor

Elsa's is a great place to stay in the Schoodic Peninsula. We wanted a home base to explore Acadia and discovered how great Schoodic is; less crowded, has an incredibly beautiful coastline and has good restaurants. Elsa's Inn was lovely - the rooms were very comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed, the breakfasts are yummy, the location is scenic (right across the water from a harbor with lobster boats), and it's within an easy drive to several restaurants, and great hiking. It's quiet and beautiful. Best of all is Gail, the host - she is very gracious and welcoming, very knowledgeable and helpful if you need tips, and clearly cares about her guests and Schoodic itself. Her yard is eco friendly, full of native plants and pollinator plants that were blooming beautifully when we visited. It was lovely to sit on the porch and chill in the evening. I highly recommend this area, and Elsa's.

Great place to stay Our host was very greeting and made us feel welcome. The view of the harbor was beautiful.

The entire area of the Schoodic Peninsula is a unique, welcome break from busy Acadia. Gail, our host, was a pleasure to talk to, providing us with interesting history and information of the area. The breakfasts were delicious! My only suggestion would be to consider replacing the mattress, or at least flip or rotate them, as ours was uneven and less comfortable than we would have liked. Otherwise, a wonderful place to stay that I would still recommend!
