Our stay exceeded any expectations we had from the photos and descriptions. Every detail from the beautiful decorated room to the gourmet breakfast. A storm and rain started that evening so we lit a fire. With the fire log blazing in the fireplace, the room was cozy and inviting. Only disappointment was that we couldn't book for another night (room taken). Diane & Bill, Sparks, NV

The owners keep the home in tip-top shape. Very clean and the breakfast is consistently outstanding. They are helpful with restaurant information and Acadia National Park. We keep coming back to their inn. Well worth it.

We stayed at Hearthside B&B for 4 nights at the end of September, and we highly recommend it to anyone. Susan and Barry are wonderful hosts who made us feel truly at home. Every little detail was taken care of during our stay at Hearthside B&B--the rooms were cozy and beautifully decorated, the common areas warm and inviting, and the breakfasts superb. Susan and Barry also went out of their way to prepare gluten-free foods for my husband who cannot eat gluten (including delicious gluten-free brownies every afternoon). Susan and Barry are also very knowledgeable about the area and all it has to offer; they are always glad to provide recommendations and their living room is filled with very helpful guides. Hearthside is also very conveniently located right in the center of town, but still hidden away on a quiet street. Bar Harbor is a beautiful place, and Hearthside B&B is a true gem. Highly recommended if you are looking for a quiet, tranquil, relaxing place to call your home while you are enjoying the beauty of this region.

It was our first visit to a bed and breakfast and the owners were pleasant and helpful with what to do in the area. The rooms were decent sizes and you could not hear any of the other guests. The B&B is on a quiet street within walking distance to many shops and restaurants. We would be willing to return!

We have visited Bar Harbor many times and keep returning to Hearthside B&B. Susan & Barry are wonderful. Their humor and hospitality make it a very enjoyable place to stay. We consider it our home in Maine.

This was a perfect B&B experience. The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated, comfortable and immaculate. The beds were very comfortable. The hosts were the perfect combination of welcoming and accommodating without being intrusive. Bar Harbor and Acadia are destinations that rival any in the world and the Hearthside is convenient location from which to enjoy them. There is a wealth of information at the B&B and from the hosts to help plan sightseeing and take advantage of all the area has to offer. All this and we haven't even begun to talk about the fabulous breakfasts or the option to have a picnic lunch packed!

My husband and our friends stayed for 2 nights to enjoy Acadia and all that Bar Harbor has to offer. The rooms, service and breakfast were incredible. The inn keepers gave us fabulous recommendations for restaurants and activities. Overall our stay was wonderful!!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Hearthside B&B. Susan and Barry are the greatest -- very fun and down to earth. We took their recommendations on some really fun activities like kayaking and walking across the sand bar to Bar Island, as well as their recommendations on restaurants, and we were always pleased! We stayed for a long time and Susan and Barry prepared a different breakfast every day -- and every one of them was delicious! Afternoon tea was lovely, too, and there were yummy cookies and hot chocolate as well. Our room was beautiful and cozy (we snuck peeks at the other rooms and they were beautiful, too). The location is fantastic -- right in the middle of town but on a small, quiet street. We highly recommend this B&B and we will certainly return there for our future visits to Bar Harbor.

It was my wife's birthday. Like most guys I never know what to get or do. So I left it up to my wife Kim. She had never been at a B&B and wanted to spend her birthday weekend at one. After searching for some time online, it was suggested from another inn that i/we try Hearthside Bed and Breakfast. We are truly glad that the Hearthside was suggested. From the moment that we stepped foot into the grand foyer of the Hearthside we both knew that this place was going to be very relaxing, comfortable and cozy. Inn keeper Susan was a hoot.......very good warming welcome as well as having a great sense of humor. Her breakfast cooking was divine as well as the treats that she put out around 4pm for our enjoyment. Both Barry and Susan were very hospitable and we loved their stories of their years of experience as Innkeepers of the Hearthside. Our Room ( Romeo and Juliet ) was outstanding!!! We did however sneak a peek of the other rooms too and all were equally as elegant as ours was. Kim and I so enjoyed our time. We both rested well and were very comfortable with our soundings.........Thank you again very much for such a wonderful stay Barry and Susan Schwartz............we are looking forward to our next visit..........very soon........

This was our first bed & breakfast experience, and it could not have been better. Innkeepers Barry and Susan maintain an immaculate inn, and go out of their way to ensure guests are taken care of. Breakfasts are incredible down to every detail in the preparation and serving of breakfast. When I did not partake of a particular breakfast item, and they asked me why and I told thme I was allergic to one of the ingredients (cinnamon), they made sure that each morning there was at least one home baked item item for me to choose that was cinnamon-free, even to the extent of offering plain or cinnamon-raisi bread for their french toast. The room we had was one of their smaller ones, and while a little tight on space, it was comfortably furnished with warmth and imagination. We would definitely stay at Hearthside Inn again. Innkeepers Barry and Susan were also very knowledgeable about goings on in the area and how to get places.

The Hearthside B&B gave us exactly what they stated on their card - "Wonderful Times and Treaured Memories". We stayed in the Prince Albert room. They have afternoon tea and snacks at about 4pm and refreshments available until 9pm - which was not something we expected but a lovely treat - well we "Brits" do love our afternoon tea! The location was close to the town but on a side street far enough away to not hear the noise. Our room was on the top floor but was comfortable and very clean, with more than ample storage space. Although our bedroom did not have an ensuite the private bathroom across the landing was well laid out and worth the walk! Barry and Susan were extremely helpful and advised us on a local day walk at nearby Acadia park, and the packed lunches at $8 each were brilliant. They made us feel extremly welcome and we enjoyed sharing knowledge on the walking and sites to see back in our homeland of Wales, which they are keen to visit when they are next over. The whole place was very cosy, clean and inviting,and we also met many nice fellow guests during our stay, who were regular visitors. Breakfast each day came with plenty of choices and was always filled with good company around the large and homely breakfast table. We would highly recommend this B&B! and if we are lucky to re-visit, what is a beautiful part of the world, we wouldn't consider staying anywhere but the Hearthside when we return to Bar Harbor.

One of the best b&b's my husband and I have been to. Outstanding in every aspect.

The Hearthside B&B was even better than those in Ireland, but very similar in hospitality and overall feel. We stayed in the Winston Churchill room. They have afternoon tea and snacks at about 4pm and refreshments available until 9pm. The location was close to the town but on a side street far enough away to not hear the noise. Our room was large, very clean, had more than ample closet/drawer space, a fireplace with a new log each day, a large personal bathroom, and a private covered porch. Barry and Susan were extremely helpful and have many useful resources to take with you on your daily outings. They always greeted us when they saw us, but it wasn't at all uncomfortable like some B&Bs can be. They let us store our bikes in the basement and we came and went as we pleased with the bikes. They offered to help us find parking if their lot was full, accommodated us when we had to leave early in the morning (we didn't even give them warning) by provding the hot breakfast quickly. They will also pack you a bagged lunch for $8 if you ask the night before. The whole place was very clean and inviting, breakfast was absolutely delicious and there were plenty of choices for picky eaters. Beautiful dishes, cloth napkins and matching silverware were a nice touch. The Eggs Benedict was to die for! I would highly recommend this B&B! I wouldn't consider staying anywhere but the Hearthside when we return to Bar Harbor.
