In mid-March we decided to chase winter to Mount Desert Island and reserved five nights at The Saltair Inn. It was like coming home. There is something about a grand oceanside family home built in 1887 that puts you at ease from the first moment you walk through the door. Everything about the inn, sitting and dining areas, decks and porches, says welcome. Before we found our room, we found the view down the lawn to Bar Island and the water. Located in easy walking distance to Bar Harbor shopping and restaurants, the Inn is nestled among good neighbors, large rambling seaside homes that speak of quieter times, pleasant gatherings and history. Our room was a joy, the Acadia Suite, a sitting room with windows to the water, a large bedroom and a large welcoming bath with clawfoot tub and walk in shower. Attention to detail was everywhere, unique, lovely and special. A shared gas fireplace between the bedroom and sitting room warmed and brightened our mornings at the push of a button, another fireplace in the bathroom, just added special to our stay. Our room opened to a shared deck look out. We began our days with pleasant greetings, shared stories, answers to any question and a wonderful breakfast beautifully prepared and served by our hosts Matt and Kristi. Every day was different, every meal was special, starting our days with, juice, fruit and main courses that included: eggs Benedict, blueberry stuffed French toast, blueberry pancakes and eggs frittatas. There are lovely common spaces, comfortable couches, dining spaces and porch lookouts. Every afternoon special treats could be found on the dining room sideboard for nibbling. We spent most of our days out and about on the island, but also took advantage of our comfortable room for afternoon naps and morning views to the sea. Staying at the Saltair Inn felt like the beginning of a friendship, it felt like coming home.
