    The tiny bathroom
    Serena G.

    Cute bed and breakfast located off a side street and close to the attraction of Bar Harbor. We didn't actually make it down in time for breakfast either if the two days we stayed since we were still on west coast time but we did get to try the muffins and they were great. This is a 3 story property and we were on the third story. We had the cute wanted room with the monkeys. The wall is slanted so the Roberson on the right side of the bed needs to watch their head when they get up. I should also mention that I am keen to a pillow top mattress and this bed was extra super duty firm. My back was not so happy. The bathroom was super cute. Shower was tiny!! We went during a holiday weekend so prices were way above what I thought they should be at $400/night. If you can stay here for like $200 a night that would be a better price point. Also if you e driven a vehicle, likeliness you'll get a spot is slim and you'll have to park down the street at a different hotel. You also won't be able to check in early anytime before 3pm so make note of that. But it was charming.

    Perfect location - a quick walk to Main Street and all of the restaurants, pubs and shops in Bar Harbor; the Ocean Trail is only moments away; Acadia National Park is a short drive (or bus/trolley ride) away. The Inn is located on a quiet little street, just far enough away from the tourist traffic so that your stay will be peaceful. Your hosts, Brian and Catherine are absolutely perfect - warm and welcoming, fabulous to chat with, and add to that Brian's skills in the kitchen - you are in for a treat!! Eggs benedict, homemade waffles, blueberry bread pudding, freshly baked muffins, fruit smoothies - plan on skipping lunch after every three course gourmet breakfast!! When you do get hungry again, talk to your innkeepers - they have excellent recommendations for restaurants both in town and with more local flavour! We stayed for three nights in the Glass Menagerie room - a sunny, cozy room with a private balcony. Comfortable bed, with loads of soft pillows. I also MUST make mention - the room and bathroom (not en suite, but private) were immaculate!! The cleanest bathroom I have EVER experienced at a B&B....the entire inn would pass a white glove test with flying colours!! After the initial "wow" wears off at most inns, you begin to notice the dust on the baseboards, the cobwebs in the corners, the cracks in the ceilings, &c - NOT HERE!!!! Whatever they pay their housekeeper, they should double it, she is worth every penny, hehe!! Impressive!! A wonderful long weekend. Thank you again to Brian & Catherine for becoming part of our incredible Bar Harbor memories!!

    Can I give this six stars? My boyfriend and I spent four nights here just this week and were over the moon about the level of hospitality and kindness we were shown while we stayed at The Hearthside Inn. Breakfast was prepared from scratch every morning and served to us by the inn keepers, Rick and Joyce. They asked us about our upcoming adventures every morning, made local recommendations, and asked us how it all went when we came home for the night. They hugged us goodbye when we left! I could tear up thinking about it. Coming from an East Coast city, where this kind of thing is virtually non-existent, I just can't say enough how thankful I was for the kindness and comfort given to us during our short stay. On top of that, breakfast was delicious and the accommodations were absolutely beautiful. You truly feel at home here.

    We had the best time at Hearthside!!! We went for our 1st wedding anniversary and this B&B exceeded our expectations. Brian and the rest of the staff are incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful ...and AMAZING cooks! Their fresh, warm muffins, pastries, and cookies were top notch and they went above and beyond with breakfast! The rooms were clean and the whole place felt "COVID safe" with masks and hand sanitizer all around and they've minimized commonly touched items which made us feel much more comfortable. Such a sweet place to stay and the best location right downtown, we walked to everything! Very highly recommend staying at this B&B and we can't wait to come back. It really made our trip feel special :)

    My friend and I stayed at this wonderful and heartwarming B&B in Bar Harbor for three nights. We went to Bar Harbor to see Acadia National Park. Brian and Catherine made our stay in town a wonderful experience. They gave us recommendations and guides where to go around the area. Location-wise, it is within close proximity, walking distance to be exact, to a lot of restaurants, souvenir shops, and the bay. Brian and Catherine accommodated our request to change room on the second and third night since our room the first night was booked for those days. Our rooms were clean and comfortable to stay at. Breakfasts were amazing. Thank you Brian and Catherine! We will be back for sure.

We stayed on the 3rd floor in the Beehive Suite. It was a bit of a trek going up and down as many times as we did, especially with heavy luggage, but we loved the room and the view!!!! And we never heard a single other guest during our stay. They have a great HVAC system that keeps the third floor very cool. And the bed and pillows were very comfortable. There is a parking space for a car for every room. When we arrived, we got a thorough welcoming from Matt. He showed us on a map some suggestions of where to eat. The inn is an easy walk from the town and about a five minute drive from the entrance to Acadia National Park. We didn't partake in breakfast, but saw many others enjoying it. They have a beautiful deck with plenty of seating, and Adirondack chairs in the yard to enjoy the stars. They keep the lights and music on all night, so no matter when you arrive home, you feel comfortable and safe. The only thing that we missed was access to ice. There is a tiny machine in the breakfast room, but that only makes enough ice for about 3 drinks for the whole place. We had to buy ice at the Circle K every day and keep it in our cooler in the room for our water bottles and cocktails. If you ever travel to Bar Harbor, this is the place to stay!!! Best view ever!!!

There's so much character and thought placed into designing every nook and cranny of this Inn. The front desk lady was very friendly and accommodating. Our room was quite small - barely fitting a queen size bed in the room, leaving minimal walking space. Our bathroom was also very small. It had a toilet, a small sink, and a very narrow shower. We didn't mind the size of the room because we spent most of our time hiking around Acadia. The staff at Maples Inn was very kind and shared some of their favorite hikes and their tips and tricks into finding the best experiences. The lobby also has a few snacks that are perfect grab and go for the trails. Their breakfast is also tasty, delicious and cooked on order! One thing to note is that they have 2 small, gravel parking spots on either side of the inn. They will also provide a parking permit for your car that will cover street parking during the dates of your stay at the inn. During peak season, I can only imagine how hard it must be to find parking nearby though.

    What a beautiful way to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary!…read more The Bayview Hotel provided us with a room overlooking Frenchman Bay. We enjoyed sunrise views 3/4 mornings. (The 4th one was from Cadillac Summit.) Our room was spacious with one of the most comfortable comforters I've felt. We had a keurig machine, microwave, and mini fridge in our room. Appreciated the heater in the bathroom. Loved being greeted by the geese family on property in the morning and afternoon just outside our balcony. Our balcony had a couple of chairs with a table. We noticed the room beside us had a couch and bar stools in their balcony. While our balcony had cobwebs in every ceiling corner (lots of spiders on the railing), we were still able to enjoy the majestic sunrise views. They serve a continental breakfast every morning at 0700. Mid-day they serve charcuterie, cookies, fruits with refreshing infused water, tea&coffee. By far this was the most serene accommodation we've had. Calm and peaceful. They provide Adirondack chairs overlooking the bay. Friendly staff~ Brad at the front desk was kind in printing our Cadillac Sunrise pass for us & greeted us every time we passed the front desk. The hotel is less than 8 minutes from the Waterfront and about 10 min to Acadia National park depending on which entrance you use. All in all would return and recommend.

We were not able to get tickets to see the sunrise, but we were able to see one from our balcony. We also enjoyed a delicious cup of coffee out there one quiet morning. The breakfast was very good with many options to have before heading out for the day. All of the egg dishes were outstanding. They also have a shuttle service that you can take if you want to go out for dinner in town. This was our first time to Bar Harbor and Bayview but it won't be our last.

We got a pair of super comfortable robes too! Now, let's talk food. Every day, you go downstairs into a cute little parlor/tea room. There's always a sweet option and a savory option, and everything is made fresh in house. I mean it when I say these were some of the best breakfasts I've had in my life! Pancakes, waffles, French toast, breakfast quiches... always with a healthy side of fresh fruit and some carb or meat. I seriously looked forward to waking up every day just so I could find out what the breakfast options were. My husband likes sweet and I like savory so we always each ordered one and shared. Again, seriously the best breakfasts I've had in my life!! As if that wasn't enough, they provide daily afternoon "tea time" snacks too! The baked goods were heavenly! We would 100% recommend it to friends and we plan to visit again one day!

The owner helped me get my suitcase up but still stairs and I don't get along well. I would have forgiven this but our room was a joke. 1. The decor was... eclectic. Meaning nothing matched. The wallpaper was peeling. The carpet was wrinkling and coming up in the corners. 2. No closet, no safe, no coffee maker (they served coffee in a sitting room... down the stairs) 3. The bed was designed by Torquemada. After one sleepless night my wife and I were ready to confess to heresy or treason. It was the most uncomfortable bed I've encountered in decades. The pillows smelled like they hadn't been washed. The bed wasn't level. The mattress was lumpy. We did not sleep ... maybe two hours. 4. The bathroom had a shower. Because of my handicap need to have my wife help me into bathtubs so I elected not to shower. 5. You would think that for $380 they could afford something better than Motel 6 soaps. Very cheap. So after one sleepless night we checked out. The owner said because we booked through Expedia we needed to deal with them. Expedia told us after a day that the owner would not waive their no refund fee so I'm out $380 for that second night. You're better off camping in a tent. Never again.

I can't negotiate that tub step in any more without assistance from my wife, so I opted NOT to shower. Regardless, the hotel supplied Motel 6 style soaps and stuff... I can live with that but not for $380 a night. 7. The place was a B and B and the owner prepared breakfast. It wasn't horrible, but was... meh. This could have been due to my bad mood after not being able to sleep all night., so I'll give that a pass. 8. We booked for two nights. We checked out after one night. Neither the hotel nor expedia agreed to a refund, so I'm out $380. For that money I warn the public STAY AWAY from Holbrook House.
