Coach Stop Inn


Bar Harbor, ME   Offered for sale at $1,425,000
 

Coach Stop is known to be Bar Harbor’s oldest inn, originally a stagecoach stop and Halfway Tavern in those early days. It was used to host early newcomers to the island - newcomers who came to build homes, establish farms and build fishing schooners. Travelers arriving by boat and wanting to go inland to visit or look for a place to settle would also take advantage of all that such a tavern had to offer – rooms, drink and companionship. Regular stagecoach service began in Maine after the Revolutionary War. The stagecoach routes followed the old post roads and so it was natural to have the taverns used as stage stops and they were often the first “post offices” in the area. This made them popular gathering places for local people to come and get the news and visit with their neighbors.

The current Bed & Breakfast is possibly the oldest house still standing, being the only lodging establishment to survive the Fire of 1947. Beautiful wide plank hardwood floors and original beams are throughout the first floor in the parlor, dining room and first floor guest room adorn this traditional Cape.

This beautiful inn has 6 guest rooms, each with private en suite bathrooms. Three guest rooms are in the main inn and 3 have exterior entrances with decks. There is also a guest parlor with gas fireplace, dining room and a kitchen with two ovens and commercial dishwasher. This inn sits on 1.63 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds.

There is a stackable washer/dryer in a closet between the two spacious guest bedrooms, and the garage has additional laundry as well. A perfect combination of being onsite, while enjoying your privacy.
