Hearthside Inn was a perfect spot to stay in Bar Harbor for our visit to Acadia National Park. Comfortable and quiet, delicious breakfast entrees each morning, and very friendly staff/hosts. Street parking is scarce in Bar Harbor, so being able to leave the car parked here for easy walks into town for dinners and shopping was a bonus!

This place is wonderful. It's quiet (on a side street), but everything in downtown Bar Harbor is walkable. Wonderful gourmet breakfast and super helpful staff. We look forward to coming back again soon.

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!

A lovely B&B. We had a super late check in due to a series of unfortunate events, and they were super accommodating. Lovely atmosphere, right downtown, like the shortest walk ever, and a delicious breakfast. 10/10 will stay again.

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.
