Though our visit to Hearthside Inn was brief, it was thoroughly enjoyable. The inn’s cozy charm and immaculate room made us feel instantly welcome. Breakfast was fresh, delicious, and served with genuine warmth. Its quiet, convenient location was perfect for our short stay in Bar Harbor—we only wish we had more time to enjoy it.

Great stay for Bar Harbor and Acadia NP! The room was comfortable, the staff so friendly and helpful, and breakfast and afternoon tea goodies were all delicious. The location is central to great restaurants, the shuttle to Acadia, shopping, and the Village Green. Highly recommend!

Great breakfast, very comfortable bed, nice location. Note for those with physical limitations, there isn’t a lot of parking in front of the building and there are many stairs. Neither was a problem for us though.

The cutest little bed and breakfast. It was in the perfect location. A quick walk to all the restaurants and shops. Juliana was so sweet and friendly. The included breakfast offers two options each morning, a savory or a sweet option. Everything we had was great! The afternoon snacks and sweets were good. They always have cookies, baked goods, ice, and water sitting out. Our room was completely remodeled and absolutely beautiful. We would definitely stay again!

The location of the the inn was excellent! Walking distance to everything in Bar Harbor. The food, breakfast and afternoon snacks were all home made and wonderful. Unfortunately the coffee was consistently weak and watery so we popped over to get espresso at nearby A Slice of Eden. The rooms were well appointed but the mattresses are a little old or just soft and spring feeling ish. Not sure which but would appreciate firmer bed quality…. which would escalate the experience at Hearthside immensely. Overall a very good experience though I would probably opt to try another inn next time based on the mattress. Very sweet staff!

Hearthside Inn was an absolute gem to stay in. The customer service was wonderful and polite, the room was incredibly chic, cozy, and clean. Parking was easy all around Bar Harbor. We absolutely loved the location so we could walk around town after exploring Acadia. My fiance proposed on Cadillac mountain, so I truly will never forget our stay at Hearthside and we cannot wait to come back!
