Lindenwood Inn

We enjoyed our recent three-night stay at the Lindenwood Inn, and you will, too. It’s a deluxe B&B with all the amenities. Booking online was easy, and we paid a 50% deposit, with the remainder automatically paid the night before we checked out. The photos on the website give a better perspective than I could do myself, so none are included with this review except for the great breakfasts! The inn is well appointed with a lot of Australian art courtesy of the owner, who hails from Sydney. But to summarize, we had a gorgeous king room with sitting area and wraparound porch. The bed and linens were luxurious and comfortable. There was ample lighting and a lot of sitting space. We had an in-room coffee maker (although we didn’t use it) and perhaps the best B&B bathroom we have ever had. The rain shower was super after a long day hiking. And the vanity had good counter space and storage for our toilet article kits. Breakfast, served 8-930 in the dining room or on the porch, was good all three days. Coffee and hot water for tea were ready in advance, and there was a daily selection of fruit and muffins. Each morning we were offered a hot breakfast. One day was Mexican eggs with peppers and cheese scrambled in; another day was perhaps the best Eggs Benedict I have ever had; and the final morning was French toast made with a baguette and stuffed with blueberries. The staff were efficient, but we had little interaction other than taking our breakfast order. Parking in the lot to the right of the inn is available but the spaces are tight; in the lot to the left it is easier. There are a few restaurants within walking distance. We tried Beal’s Lobster Pier and Dry Dock Inn (see separate reviews). One, Red Sky, looked good but booked up early, so call in advance if you want that one. Southwest Harbor is a small town, but commands high prices for lodging due to its location, and restaurants make most of their money in the summer, and some close for the winter. All in all, an excellent stay.

Great stay on all accounts. Rooms and common areas were clean, comfortable, and visually up to date. Owners and staff put their heart into what they do. Also really enjoyed the other guests. Very warm heated pool and hot tub were a bonus on the cooler days and post hiking. Great location in Southwest Harbor, off the beaten path but close enough to walk to a restaurant or whatever else you may need. Would definitely stay here again.

Milan is the best Innkeeper! He is personable, warm, welcoming and made our weekend visit memorable as it was a special anniversary. Since we adopted 3 children, this was the first time in 10 years that we spent alone on vacation. I chose the Lindenwood Inn based on reviews & location, the quiet of Southwest Bar Harbor away from the crowds. I booked a room via phone with Milan the same day as arrival. Milan greeted us and after having a nice conversation he took us next door to the Rosebrook House and showed us the 1st floor suite complete with living room, kitchen and a king size bed for my 6' 3" frame. Instead of spending one night we ended up spending the weekend. At night we spent time in the pool & hot tub which was most enjoyable. Loved everything about our breakfasts, from the seating with table cloths, juice, coffee, fruit, bread and a hot breakfast that would surpass the best restaurants along with the staff that was attentive & friendly. We spent the days at Acadia National Park, just a short 15 minute drive. One morning we walked to the boat dock right behind the house enjoying the harbor view & the boats. We are looking foward to another Costal Maine trip and a stay at the Lindenwood Inn. Thank you again Milan for all you did in making our memorable stay most pleasant.

Wonderfully cared for and cute historic B&B with plenty of comforts. Stayed in Room 7 (Penthouse) which was very nicely furnished and had a huge deck with loungers, gas firepit, and a hot tub. Pricey, but worth the money. We spent a lot of evenings after dinner on the deck just enjoying the views and relaxing. Outstanding views of the water. Service was excellent and Beth and Milan were extremely kind and looked after us. Walkable to dining in Southwest Harbor and 25 min to Acadia. Loved being on the "quiet side" of the island. Breakfasts were good with nice service, but we often left to hike before they started serving. Nice pool and hot tub which we did not use. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Great place as a hotel and B&B. The folks are friendly, helpful and the food is good. The outdoor amenities, besides Acadia National Park, include a pool and a hot tub. Right up the street are a few restaurants in the small business district.

We had a fantastic stay at Lindenwood. The accommodation is beautiful and comfortable and the location is quiet and peaceful, right at the sea but within easy distance to restaurants and shops (small shops within walling distance and supermarket 3 min by car). The best part, however, was definitely the staff. Enthusiastic, helpful and friendly, going out of their way to make our stay special.
