Meet Chris!

Meet our innkeeper, Chris, here at Sand Bar Cottage Inn!

Always ready with a warm smile and friendly energy, Chris makes everyone feel welcome the moment they arrive. Whether he’s greeting you with his signature good cheer, hosting cozy live music evenings out on the garden patio, or swapping stories with guests on the porch as the sun sets, time with Chris is always a highlight.

Come say hi—you’ll leave with a new friend!

We love the Sand Bar Cottage! The inn is beautifully and warmly managed by Chris who greets guests upon their arrival. His warmth is carried through every detail of one's stay, and by every staff member. The rooms are beautiful! The public areas are lovely. The breakfasts are excellent with each day a sweet and a savory option. Lots of parking is available on their grounds. This B&B understands passion in service and the quality of their offering that differentiates them from other local options. The Sandbar is our home away from home while we are in Bar Harbor. You will not be disappointed.

I can't recommend Sand Bar Cottage enough. My girlfriend and I were looking for a quiet night in a busy place and we found it here. Chris, the innkeeper, was incredibly courteous and considerate. The location itself had incredible amounts of charm and offered an experience that would satisfy tourists from faraway, or (like us) those from other parts of Maine. The breakfast was incredibly delicious, by far the best I've had in any hotel / inn / cottage — utterly fantastic.
