The property was well kept and inn keeper was lovely. We visited during the off season so the area was fairly quiet. I would absolutely stay here again!

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 staff was unbelievably kind and generous. Juliana was so helpful with giving us ideas of places to site see and places to eat! She made sure we didn’t have any allergies and was conscientious of our dietary restrictions and with that they fed us the most delicious breakfast. Every afternoon they had a sweet and savory dessert and again they were absolutely delicious. This was a true 10 out of 10 and we WILL definitely be back. Thank you all for an amazing weekend.

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!
