Avoid this place at all costs. It's supposed to be a B&B. Upon arrival the hosts are nowhere to be seen. In fact the hosts never show up at the property. You're basically on your own. Most of the rooms are on the second floor. There is no elevator and the staircase is narrow and hard to maneuver with large suitcases. The room has two old fashioned heavy wood chairs that are very uncomfortable. The Inn itself is far out of town. There is no BF at the inn. you have to drive all the way into town to a small restaurant. The BF consists of eggs bacon and pancakes. There is no OJ, yogurt, cereal or oatmeal. We were happy to finally leave. read more

First of all this isn't a Bed & Breakfast. There are beds & cornflakes+ cereal bars. There's no friendly host You check in electronically, make your way to a dark hallway where you enter a code to enter. Be sure to have your phone flashlight ready. The "innkeeper" is very gracious & will hang up on you until you quit trying to ask a question. The "Finnish sauna" would, if it worked, create steam in the shower. This place is a poster child for false advertising. Find another place. read more

A little concerned here. About a half hour before check out, I was loading the luggage into the car, and a full grown man walked into our room while my girlfriend was in the bathroom getting dressed. He claimed he was checking the smoke detector and didn't know anyone was in the room. Not sure how anyone would fail to realize that the room was occupied, the door was locked, the TV was on and her belongings were on the edge of the bed. Mind you, the bathroom door is made of glass and completely see through. She felt incredibly uncomfortable and carried that with her the rest of the day. Checking the smoke detectors is obviously something that would be important to someone running an Inn, but couldn't it have waited 28 minutes? Was is that important to barge in a locked door with a naked women on the other side? read more

Best B&B ever, hands down. My husband and I have been coming to Bar Harbor 4 years in a row, and we always make a point to stay at Heathwood. 3 reasons why you should visit, too: 1) The food. Delicious, creative homemade breakfasts - always a huge spread with fruit, two kinds of baked goods, and one dish of eggs/sausage. Coffee and juice are plentiful. After breakfast, there are always cookies and extra baked goods sitting out in the foyer/dining room if you want a snack with your afternoon tea/coffee. 2) Rooms are extremely comfortable and homey, and very clean. 3) Karen, the innkeeper, is extremely friendly and attentive, and always gives the best advice on what to do, where to eat, and where to find the less-traveled yet most amazing trails. She always chats with incoming guests to find out what they're looking for in their trip to Maine, and gives great suggestions on how to get what they want out of their vacation. Honestly, what else could you want in a B&B? read more

A great place if you're looking to be close to Acadia- Lena's Breakfast is AMAZING! We stayed in the Master's Suite.... Which came complete with a very nice private bathroom and private deck. We loved sitting out after a night in Bar Harbor and look up at the stars. A beautiful place to stay if you're looking for a weekend retreat. read more

Couldn't believe how amazing the Eden room! Dana and Lena have really worked hard to cover every detail to make sure that our stay was absolutely perfect. The accommodations were more than adequate. Breakfast will blow your mind! Stay here! read more

We felt so welcomed and comfortable during our stay! Dana and Lena were extremely hospital, kind, and gracious hosts. The homemade breakfast was delicious, the room was beautiful, and the location was fantastic-close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia without being in the midst of the chaos. Highly recommend! read more

Wife and I stayed 3-nights and had a wonderful stay at this B&B. Dana and Lena are great host and a great team Lena works hard to meet the dietary needs for the delightful breakfast she prepares for the guests. She worked a bit of magic during our stay to handle the diabetic needs of us yet balance the expectations of the other guests. This older farm house is on the north side of the island and about 9-miles from Bar Harbor. This keeps it quiet, a perfect place to unwind and enjoy the Acadia area. It was an easy drive to go to the park, visit Bar Harbor, or explore the surrounding areas. Dana keeps bicycles for the guests use, nothing fancy but practical bikes for gentle use. Dana is a great source too for those wanting to canoe or kayak on the local waters, helps being a native to the area. Bottom line is stay here if come by auto and want to avoid the crowds! read more

We stayed 2 nights at Heathwood Inn & Suites in July 2016. Pro: Owners are very nice and helpful. Facility is very clean. Con: Appearance I would describe it as Flea Market decor. I've posted a photo of items in a corner of the parking area & a photo of the common room, also used as the dining room. The fridge you see is directly in front of the entry door. We had the Eden room - also dated odds and ends for decor. read more

The room was very nicely decorated and comfortable. The breakfast was fresh, healthy and quite good. It was a short drive to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We would definitely stay here again. read more

Wow! What a pleasurable stay at the Heathwood Inn. First of all, any inn that is on the long and winding road title is definitely a winner. It is a very romantic setting, a nice beautiful white house with a small cottage where the inn owner Karen stays. The inside of the house is decorated in a classy, tasteful traditional style and the room that we stayed in was furnished very well as well. The pictures on the website did not do justice to our Acadia room! As for the brunch- this may be your sole reason for staying here. Great frittata in the morning as well as homemade peach muffins and sausage bread. YUM! I will definitely come here again. read more

I have mixed feeling about this place. The Eden room is beautiful and the food is fantastic. However, I'm not sure the owner likes it when young people stay there? Just the vibe she gave off. We stayed there for our honeymoon and went back again for our 1 year anniversary. We were planning to come back every year cause we love Bar Harbor, it's very special to us. However, the day before our last day there was some confusion about the checkout time. My wife had planned a special surprise for our last day that was going to run later than the checkout time. She was kind enough to give us a late check out but only after accusing us of leaving a small blue stain on a very awkward part of the bathroom wall that guests likely wouldn't even be touching. And telling us how messy we left the room a year ago. Granted we probably did, but it was our honeymoon. Who wants to clean on their honeymoon? We didn't have a party and trash the place by any means. So, my suggestion is definitely stay here if you're a quiet older couple who can't help but clean up after yourself. Don't stay here if you're a younger couple who wants to leave one or two things on every flat surface. I am still sometimes in awe that she would speak to anyone like that who is a.) A paying customer and b.) Celebrating their 1 year anniversary. But I'm sure she's a nice lady and we just got on her bad side. Oh well. Staying somewhere else next year. read more
