Quaint B&B
This was actually a B&B. Very nice and Olivia was very helpful and made a delicious breakfast every day.
Was within walking distance of center of town with restaurants.

Our two night stay was very enjoyable. The staff were welcoming and friendly, the bed and bedding was luxurious (to me anyway) and everything was super clean. Treats are offered every afternoon (brownies, cookies and the like) along with coffee or tea and each morning we were offered the choice of a savory or sweet option for breakfast. The breakfasts were delicious and ample! If we find ourselves in Bar Harbor again I can’t think of a single reason to look for any other place to stay. Loved it!

Beautifull place, staff was very friendly. the only issue was tgat our room was street level and facing the street so curtains needed to be closed all time for privacy.

You can’t go wrong with the Hearthside Inn! The staff were superb. The Inn is so charming considering the age of the home. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe there and around Bar Harbor. The Inn is ideally located within easy walking distance of the downtown area so you can leave your vehicle parked there. Breakfast was delicious & the room was CLEAN! If I had to give one thing to improve on, it would be the squeaky bedroom doors as that’s quite disturbing when guests using the hall bathroom are continually coming & going from their room (at a very early & late hour). That being said, I would absolutely stay at The Hearthside Inn again!

First trip to Maine and to Bar Harbor, and the Hearthside was a perfect place to start. We spent 2 nights at this beautiful and ideally located property and there really isn't a single thing I can say we were left wanting. Juliana is a wonderful host, the breakfast was a relaxing and delicious way to start the day, and everything about our experience was fantastic. Loved the proximity to everything, but also just far enough away to feel outside the busyness. There are some fantastic restaurants just blocks away that feel a little less touristy than some of the places on Main. Overall, a wonderful experience and perfect place to stay. Thank you Juliana and thank you Hearthside Inn.

I cannot recommend this inn highly enough! The inn was gorgeous and clean. The room we stayed in had a lovely private balcony and was beautifully appointed. The staff was wonderful, and the breakfasts every morning were amazing! There was a sweet and a savory option every morning, plus coffee and tea set up for early risers. They also had fresh baked goods in the afternoon, which was great for a post-hike snack. The inn is very centrally located in Bar Harbor, with Main Street in walking distance. It was also close to Acadia, about 10 minutes by driving. Overall a wonderful experience - I would definitely stay there again!

Cozy, quiet bed and breakfast. Savory and sweet breakfast options daily along with afternoon coffee and tea. Was such a great place to relax after exploring Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor.
We’d definitely stay again!
