Asticou Inn

If you simply can’t leave home without your sports jacket and Bermuda shorts, the Asticou Inn is your getaway par excellence. Located far from the riffraff of Bar Harbor, this classic resort is a throwback to a time when summer was a verb. Dating to 1883, it’s surrounded by formal English- and Japanese-style flowerbeds against a backdrop of craggy granite. Of course, there are plenty of modern amenities, too, in the form of WiFi and a heated pool, plus a well-maintained clay tennis court for spirited games.
