On the recommendation of a family member, we stayed at the Maison Suisse in Northeast Harbor last summer. I highly recommend it! We had a room on the second floor, at the front of the house and it was really lovely. Very clean, tasteful and well-kept antiques. Very helpful inn keeper. And they have an arrangement with a little restaurant across the street for breakfast, which is included in the price of the room.

Only warning is that last time I looked (maybe 12/06) it was for sale. But we're told that a lot of the inn keepers in that part of the world have a for sale sign up during tourist season. Just trolling for a good price maybe?
