Literally everything was phenomenal. Absolutely wonderful service, and they even accommodated my food allergies/sensitivities. From the delicious breakfasts to the lovely evening flavored lemonades and baked goodies, everything was so thoughtful, lovely, and delicious. We thank you all for your wonderful hospitality! And we appreciate how close to everything the location is :) and the beds are so comfy!!

We had a wonderful stay at the Hearthside Inn! The room was spotless and very comfortable, and the customer service was excellent — the staff went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed. Parking was a bit of a walk, but they were very helpful in assisting us and offering good options. Breakfast was amazing, and the coffee was just what we needed to start the day. Highly recommend this inn for anyone visiting the area! Thank you again… from Calif!

We loved Hearthside Inn

We had a wonderful stay. We visited the first weekend of May 2025 and the staff was great. Our room was excellent and the breakfast was above and beyond. We also love the freshly baked sweet treats they provided in the afternoon. We will definitely be staying here in the future.

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.

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!

Traveling to Bar Harbor in off season is amazing. Parking is easy and you can explore all the hotels (though not all are open year round). We love Hearthside for its charm, attention to detail, cleanliness, value, and the amazing innkeeper on staff. Thank you Julianna for a great experience!

The service and food were both great at this property to start on a positive note. However the property itself is not well maintained. Carpet is pretty gross and covered in stains, wood needs maintenance and towels were stained yellow. For the upwards cost of $500 we were not impressed by the condition of the Inn. We usually book hotels and resorts based on reviews and with excellent reviews we were sadly disappointed by this one.

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!
