Crocker House Country Inn
Built in 1884, this handsome shingled inn is off the beaten track on picturesque Hancock Point, across Frenchman Bay from Mount Desert Island. It’s a cozy retreat, good for rest, relaxation, and quiet walks; it’s only about a 4-minute walk from the water’s edge. Rooms are tastefully decorated in country decor; new owners in 2021 have spruced up some linens and fixtures, but the place remains comfortable rather than lavish. The inn has a few bikes for guests to explore the point, visit the second-smallest post office in the U.S., or drop by the nearby clay tennis courts. Dinner is a highlight: it’s served in a fun atmosphere. Open daily May through October (weekends in several other months), the kitchen serves mostly traditional favorites, such as oysters Rockefeller, scallops, fish, pasta, steak au poivre, and lamb.
