Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights in the United States have evolved in recent decades. However, LGBT Americans may still face some legal and many social challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents, particularly in states with large conservative populations, such as in the Deep South; in rural areas; and in some Native American tribal nations.
U.S. federal law does not explicitly include protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. In June 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that sexual orientation and gender identity are included under “sex” as a prohibited ground of employment discrimination in the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

In addition, our two big criteria were that it was a waterfront location and the rooms had to have private bathrooms. The Saltair Inn met both.
The views of the water were spectacular from both our room and the deck where we ate breakfast each morning. The views of not only the water but of the infamous Bar Island where we could see the high and low tide change allowing people to walk across to the island at low tide couldn’t be better. Each room is beautifully unique with a very spacious private bathroom. Matt and Kristi have done a wonderful job in the design and layout of each room complimenting the age and character of the Inn. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious.
We felt very welcomed from first moment we arrived. Both Matt and Kristi were laid-back and accommodating and truly care about you and your stay. They were extremely helpful with any questions we might have had about the town, restaurant suggestions, the National Park or anything that would help make our stay the best it could be.
While the stay was wonderful, Kristi’s breakfasts were incredible. It was great waking up to the smell of breakfast being made each morning. Every day she had something new and exciting on the menu but was eager and willing to customize something special if you liked. I can’t wait for the recipes in her first edition of the Saltair Inn cookbook!
We had a fantastic time at the Saltair Inn – The bed and breakfast was cute, clean and had everything we needed as a base camp for exploring Acadia National Park. Matt and Christi were gracious and accommodating hosts with great recommendations for activities around MDI. Would 100% come back again.
I would highly recommended staying at the Saltair Inn. Such a relaxing stay for us, and there is so much to do in Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Hiking the Beehive Trail was a favorite , bike riding down to Schoodic Point, eating lobster, and kayaking in the bay, were a few activities we enjoyed. My # 1 favorite activity was getting up super early one morning to see the sun rise over Cadillac Mountain. Not to be missed! …Stay at the Saltair. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy.

The Bayview Hotel in Bar Harbor is an excellent hotel. The hotel itself is small and privately tucked out of the way off the main road. All the rooms are oceanfront and have private balconies to enjoy sunrises and sunsets. The staff is extremely friendly and I really appreciated everything the hotel does to make the guests feel comfortable.
The hotel is tucked away off the road, feels special as you drive up. The lobby and common areas are newly renovated along with the rest of the hotel. I will say that you definitely pay for the view, which is stunning. Our room was clean and basic. It’s kind of in the basement or “lower level” with dehumidifiers in the hallway to keep away dampness I’d assume. Room was comfortable and large, carpet new and plush but again very basic. Balcony was large and again view to die for. I wouldn’t call rooms luxurious but still the stay felt very special. The staff or possibly the owners were so welcoming and friendly and accommodating.
The room was large with a view out to Frenchman’s bay and nothing but a lawn between you and the water. It was about a 12 minute walk into town over a smooth paved path (which we did a few times) but the free shuttle service provided by the hotel was great when the legs were tired from hiking Acadia trails all day.
They even had binoculars, walking sticks, backpacks and iPhone lenses to borrow while you were there. Overall we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Near to the town of Bar Harbor but still nice and quiet.
See the sunrise right from your private terrace.
