As part of our vacation to Bar Harbor National Forest, we decided to spend two nights at the Inn at Isle au Haut. The only way to get to the island is by Ferry. What a lovely ride on the Ferry seeing the fog and blue skies. The Islands vistas, rocks, pebbles are spectacular. The Inn was quaint and rustic. Fabulous Innkeeper and the food was delicious. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included in the cost. The room was sweet with a lovely view of the beach. The bathroom was small.

The trails are maintained. Bug spray is recommended for the ticks and mosquitoes. The Island population is 300 and the town consist of a few buildings. People go to the Island for the hiking. Hiking was moderate. Bicycling is easy and fun. Rarely ddid we see a car.

If you want to have a totally different experience, away from the tourist experience and luxuriate in the beauty of nature this is a 'MUST DO'.
Diana is fabulous. She strikes just the right balance of helpful inn keeper and watchful adventure adviser, without that smothering B&B feeling.
And then there is her food: She cooks all of your meals! The only word is 'FANTASTIC'.
(you will want to hire her for a private event or take her as your personal chef).
The inn is small, so make your plans early.

Diana creates smells from the kitchen that entice the guests throughout the day. When the meals are served, there is no denying the accuracy of the wonderful smells - her cooking is fantastic! The beds are comfortable, the view is spectacular and the Inn is charming, cozy and very inviting. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the porch, reading a book and watching the butterflies and lobster boats pass by. This is the perfect place to unwind and breathe in a slice of Americana... home cooking, fresh air and a million dollar view were what we found in this wonderful place.

The Inn at Isle au Haut is so comfortable...a perfect hideaway...experiencing the ultimate in hospitality! Diana Santospago is the perfect hostess! Her genuine warmth is so inviting- you feel like you are home. She is so pleasant, paying attention to all details. The three gourmet meals that she prepares daily, demonstrate her fabulous culinary talents.

Isle au Haut is unspoiled and so beautiful! Actually it is the most pristine place we have ever been. And we keep returning!! It is serenity at it's best! A piece of paradise orchestrated by an amazing innkeeper, Diana!
