My mother and I had the best stay at Heathwood Inn when we visited Bar Harbor this summer. The staff is amazingly nice and they even prepared for my last breakfast the famous pumpkin waffles I had seen in the comments and nicely asked for - if possible (they are so delicious). It is also very easy to move around the island as one of the island buses can stop right in front of the Inn, allowing you to explore Acadia without a car and struggling to find parking. Yass!
Room was comfy with snacks and lovely linens . The sauna was a nice extra when the weather was pretty chilly and windy out in town all day . Even though we had breakfast off site , we ended up really liking how it got us up and out into town and we liked the little drive as the fall colors were spectacular
Everything was fine except the pillows are awful. Please invest in some new pillows. I can recommend some affordable ones if you want. The shower is tiny.
The room was clean and fine although the bed was far too soft. We were locked out of the building as our code did not unlock the door. There was no answer to the posted phone even though we called multiple times over two days. Please note there is no breakfast on the property but guests do have a voucher for a very good breakfast 15 minutes away.
Clean room and comfortable bed. AC unit old and hard to know how to control.
Furniture was dated. Outdoor lighting needs to be improved for safety walking to and from car at dark was almost treacherous - there were stones and steps and no sidewalk around to the entrance. There was a motion light that came on very late in the process. Also very hard to find the entrance to the driveway off of the main road.
Very helpful when I miss booked dates. Room was fine, comfortable, clean. "fireplace" was a plug in that did not work; shower door was off track. But it was also billed as a B and B. Turned out that the breakfast was a 14 min drive into Bar Harbor. And all the hosting was remote. Feel that using B and B as a descriptor is misleading.
This was a very mediocre stay. There was no human contact for service, the parking lot was very dark at night, there were no chairs in the room, and the room was overpriced
The room was very comfortable and quiet. The staff were very helpful with questions and everything we needed was provided. Nearby are some great restaurants on the way in to Bar Harbor. If you want to be in the thick of all things Bar Harbor though, you may want to book a place closer to the actual town. Itâs not a long drive to get there from this property though.
