The Coach Stop Inn - Bar Harbor, ME
When I went up to Acadia with my best friend, Esther, about 5 years ago, we randomly found this little Bed and Breakfast on the main road before you enter the park. It was called the Coach Stop Inn and we just fell in love with this simple, quaint little Bed and Breakfast.
I knew I wanted to go back here when Mike and I were in town and had heard it was under new ownership. I was nervous that this change of hands would change everything, but it was just as wonderful as I remembered it… now under the expert skills of Deborah and her adorable pup, Leon.
My first day I enjoyed cherry turnovers. These were SO good. Expertly flaky and the cherries were just sweet enough to retain their tartness.
Another day there were poppy seed muffins to start. I couldn’t believe how good these were. I’m usually not a huge fan, but I could not get enough of these. Even at this moment I am drooling a little bit remembering how good these were. Love at first bite.
On almost every morning, Deborah served a martini of fresh cut fruit with a flavored balsamic vinegar. All were delicious and beautifully presented.
Another day we had yogurt with fruit and granola and it was delicious.
Instead of fresh fruit one day, we were served delicious smoothies.
One of the first main courses were eggs and home fried potatoes. It was delicious and tasted so fresh.
We had a hearty breakfast one morning with egg stuffed in some sort of baked good and stewed tomatoes. I wish I remembered exactly what this was… but it was too long ago :(
On our last day we had pistachio stuffed french toast. OMG was this good! It was a lovely way to end our stay there.
I just love this B&B and I’m so glad I got to go back. The food is great and it feels so homey. Deborah is an excellent host, the rooms are comfortable, there are fresh baked cookies every evening, and the main house has a really nice main room with books, games, a piano, and a TV with DVDs. If you are in the area, I highly recommend staying here!
