The Ledgelawn prominently dominates the view down Mount Desert Street, and is a favorite subject for photographs and historic walking tours. Now is you chance. Don't just photograph the Ledgelawn; stay here.
We have 33 guest rooms, all with private baths, cable TV, phone, and A/C. Many of the rooms have a fireplace, sauna, whirlpool tub, porch, or patio. All rooms are individually and tastefully decorated, representing the aura of a time gone by, yet with the comfort and convenience of the finest lodging establishments. Rooms range from grand to cozy, so there is a perfect match for every price range. Certain rooms are also pet friendly, and we welcome your well-behaved pet.
Today, you can enjoy the ambiance of times gone by, in one of the few remaining summer mansions open to the public. We invite you to visit Acadia National Park, to hike the mountains, bike the carriage paths, kayak or sail among the islands, and relax after each day of adventure at the Ledgelawn Inn
We participate in Maine's efforts to recycle, save energy, reduce waste, protect our air and water, and preserve habitat for all living creatures. Ask us about our environmental policies, and join with us in preserving Mount Desert Island's natural and historic heritage.
