The Castlemaine is a delightfully old rambling inn with twisting
corridors and unexpected, sunny alcoves. The house was built by George
Newman in 1886 and later became the summer residence of the
Austro-Hungarian ambassador and his wife, the Baron and Baroness
Hengelmueler. Nestled on a quiet side street in the Village of Bar
Harbor, Castlemaine Inn is only minutes from the magnificent Acadia National Park and within
easy reach of galleries, shops and fine restaurants.
The Castlemaine Inn has twelve charming rooms
and four comfortable suites. Some rooms have queen canopy beds, queen
four poster beds and king size beds. Many rooms have fireplaces and
private balconies. All rooms have private baths, air conditioning and
cable television. Antique pieces are sprinkled throughout the Inn and
all rooms are decorated with fine linens.
A delightful continental buffet breakfast is served daily in our
cheerful morning room or on our veranda from 8:00 to 9:30 AM. The menu
features fresh fruit, scones, muffins and preserves, bagels &
cream cheese, cold cereal and hot oatmeal, coffee cake and bundt cake,
assorted breads and cheeses, orange juice, freshly brewed coffee (decaf
available) and teas (herbal available).
Spend the morning hiking, biking, rock climbing, kayaking, playing tennis or golf, or deep-sea fishing. Relax in the afternoon whale-watching, bird-watching, walking along the beach and shore path, or browsing art and antiques. In the evening, dine on lobster and clams at dozens of fine restaurants nearby. End your day at a music festival or on a scenic sunset cruise.
