Elsa's Inn on the Harbor

Some of the most memorable Maine experiences begin with a simple pleasure: watching the fishing boats come and go across a quiet coastal harbor.

At Elsa's Inn on the Harbor in Prospect Harbor, that view is part of the experience. Overlooking the village's working waterfront, this historic bed-and-breakfast offers visitors a welcoming place to slow down and enjoy the character of Downeast Maine.

A Historic Inn by the Sea

Housed in a home dating to the 1850s, Elsa's Inn combines the charm of a traditional coastal inn with the setting of a small Maine fishing village.

With six guest bedrooms, the inn offers a more intimate alternative to a large hotel. Its location along Main Street puts guests close to the sights and sounds of Prospect Harbor, where fishing boats and the changing tides remain part of everyday life.

A Window into Coastal Maine

One of the inn's greatest attractions is its view of the harbor.

From the waterfront-facing grounds, guests can enjoy the scenery of boats at their moorings, the wooded shoreline, and the activity of a working fishing community.

The gardens and white picket fence add another layer of coastal charm, creating an inviting setting for visitors who appreciate the quieter side of Maine.

Explore the Schoodic Peninsula

Elsa's Inn provides a convenient base for discovering the villages, scenery, and outdoor experiences of the Schoodic Peninsula.

Visitors can spend their days exploring nearby coastal communities, visiting local galleries and shops, enjoying fresh seafood, or discovering the quieter landscapes of the Schoodic region.

After a day of exploring, the inn offers a peaceful return to the harbor and the unhurried pace of village life.

Whether you're planning a coastal getaway or looking for a comfortable home base while exploring Downeast Maine, Elsa's Inn on the Harbor invites you to experience the region from the heart of a working waterfront community.
