“Thornhedge Inn presents a serene escape moments from Acadia National Park, with the kind of personalized activity planning only an on-site owner can offer. The morning's gourmet breakfast, featuring local flavors, is a highlight, extending into an evening wine and cheese gathering that fosters a relaxed, community feel. I particularly appreciate its Frommer's recognition as a top Bar Harbor stay-a nod to its historic charm and dedication to guest comfort.”
