Gracious. Comfortable. The Black Friar Inn is a uniquely restored Victorian home surrounded by a perennial flower garden. Mantels, bookcases, windows, and finely crafted woodwork from turn- of-the-century "cottages" on Mount Desert Island shape every part of the Inn. Seven romantic guest rooms are tastefully furnished with period antiques and beautifully decorated. Fine linens dress your queen or king-size bed, soft carpets pamper your feet, and each room has a private bath.

The Black Friar Inn rests on a quiet side street in picturesque Bar Harbor ~ just a short walk from a swirl of activity. Tour the bustling harbor filled with lobster boats, schooners, yachts, and cruise ships (the QE2 is a regular visitor). See the lovely Porcupine Islands. Eat a map of Bar Harbor showing the location of the Black Friar Inn - 35.3 K fresh lobster prepared in every imaginable way. Hear music ~ from classical to jazz, folk to rhythm and blues. Visit art and craft shows on the Village Green. And if you love antiques, Mt. Desert Island and surrounding communities are a treasure trove!

Acadia National Park is only moments from the Inn. The second most popular park in the United States, Acadia is a true gift. It offers the very best of Nature's treasures. Cold, blue waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. Dramatic, glacial cliffs braced against the sea. Thick, rolling fog. Lush, green, aromatic pine forests. Wildflowers in profusion. Tall, silent mountains. The morning sunrise. Evening sunsets. Rich, starry nights. And in the autumn, a stunning rainbow of leaves. Walk. Sail. Bike. Swim. Sea kayak. Photograph. Enjoy.
