Welcome...

One of Maine’s Finest Bed and Breakfasts located near Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, and Ellsworth, Maine Built in 1898, the Sunset House has been a welcome sight to travelers in the village of West Gouldsboro.  Over a century young, The Sunset House has served the needs of travelers for many a year!

Owners are Carl and Kathy Johnson, who relocated from Cape Cod in 1989. Carl is an executive Chef with over thirty years of experience in the culinary field. Carl has been voted “Chef of the Year” by the Maine Chapter of the American Culinary Association.

Breakfast preparation begins at 5:30 A.M.  The Johnsons' own and operate the nearby Fisherman’s Inn Restaurant located only a short 6 miles away in Winter Harbor.  The entrance to the scenic Schoodic Section of Acadia National Park.
The Sunset House is uniquely situated to
enjoy both Sunrise and Sunset. Sunrise can be viewed over Jones Pond, a 2½ mile fresh water pond bordering the property. Swimming, Fishing, Canoeing and Kayaking can be enjoyed during the day.


You can listen to the water rambling over the rocks in the Mill Stream, or enjoy beverages while sitting on the porches. In the gardens, while taking a special “Time-Out”, smell the flowers, watch the humming birds drink nectar or enjoy the sunset over Jones Cove, which is tidal salt water. A favorite past-time  for guests is enjoying coffee at the breakfast table conversing and watching the many rarities of birds at the feeders located outside the window. A full country breakfast is served, while the menu varies, guests may enjoy yeast raised sour dough waffles, smoked salmon, and fresh herbed goat cheese omelets or French toast made with home made cinnamon bread.



Located six miles from the fishing village of Winter Harbor, guests can spend the day exploring the Schoodic Section of Acadia National Park, pick up some fruit wine at the Bartlett Winery and have a secluded picnic at the Petite Manan Bird Sanctuary which offers leisurely trails through woods, blueberry fields and a beautiful view of the water off the Rocky Coast of Maine. With Bar Harbor only 35 miles away, plan day trips and return in the evening to the Sunset House and recharge.



We at the Fisherman’s Inn are proud to serve locally grown and harvested foods as the seasons allow.  Doing so ensures that flavor and nutrition are at their peak and helps support the fishing and agricultural community.  Our philosophy even extends to the wine list by including selections from the nearby award winning Bartlett Maine Estate Winery. Relax and enjoy, “Real Food Done Well.”
