We selected this inn because we thought it looked charming in the pictures and we’ve always enjoyed staying at inns because it is usually a more personal experience. We couldn’t have been more wrong!  It was a remote check in using a code to unlock the door. The VERY SMALL front room was uninviting and very lackluster. The bed was the worst part. We stayed in the room pictured in the first photo. The mattress was really really old and it creaked every time one of us moved. Plus, the headboard banged against the wall. Needless to say, we didn’t get a lot of sleep the two nights we spent there. After the first night we put a towel between the wall and headboard, which seemed to give the bed more stability, but not much. The shower was one of the smallest I’ve ever seen and with the shower curtain drawn you couldn’t see a thing. I ended up taking a bath. The snacks they said they provided were a couple cheap snack bars, which other guests obviously took, because they disappeared.  They had little notes attached to everything. Don’t do this, don’t take that. Very bossy.  In addition it was about 7 miles out of town so very inconvenient. We never saw the hosts. It’s like instead of hosting, they just phoned it in. It was like a Motel 6, except not as nice.  Oh yes, and the price was exorbitant!   This was our first time to Bar Harbor.  We will know better next time.  Oh, and I mentioned we never, ever saw our hosts.

Don’t stay here!

We're on a trip of coastal Maine. Stayed 5 days and stayed in different hotels all along the coast. Paid the most for Heathwood Inn - and it was the worst place. Photos advertise a pretty nice looking breakfast (why we chose this place) but in fact they hand you a coupon to drive quite a ways North and eat at "Everyday Joes" - which is exactly as it sounds. Plastic plates, plastic forks, very meh food. No service, all serve yourself. Nothing available on that menu that looks like the photos for breakfast at Heathwood Inn. Rooms are so small my husband and I had to take turns moving around the room (and we are not large people). Called the number on the front door that said "if you need something, call this number" and asked for 2 extra pillows. Called around 6:30pm. Pillows never arrived. I could see the family walking around in their portion of the house but they could not be bothered to see to their guests. Didn't give us a receipt either. Never saw them, no greeting - ghosts for hosts. AND - the toilet paper is worse than at the airport - so rough. If I'm paying budget prices, this is what I expect. For top dollar though, I expect much more. Don't stay here.

False advertising

Outdated, invisible innkeepers, noisy window ac, old mattress, stuffy common room, breakfast 5 miles away. Very disappointing
Stayed August 2022, calendar in bathroom November 2021.
This place has seen better days. Lacking in hospitality, attention to detail

Stay somewhere else

Lobby smelled horrible - like spoiled milk. Not a great way to "welcome" guests. We almost considered eating the cost and finding a different accommodation. Thankfully, our room was clean enough and we were only there for one night. Completely outdated and not in a charming way (think grandma's attic). Owners have not reinvested in keeping the "B&B" updated. The carpets were stained, tiles in the bathroom were broken, toilet seat didn't match - all very jimmy-rigged. No one greeted us - we just picked up our key in the lobby. Also, no breakfast served, just a gift card to a restaurant 8 miles away that we didn't end up using. Overpriced and not recommended.

Wont be back.

We partially chose this Inn because we love B&B but this is not a B&B, no breakfast instead an envelope with a coupon to a greasy spoon located 6 miles away in Bar Harbor.  No host to welcome you,  envelopes with the  room name are displayed on a table with a key inside,   The front door must be left unlocked 24/7. It is in  a country setting but close to the main road, very noisy. I could get past all the tacky garage sale decor but  not the bed. The mattress was the worst, soft, lumpy, dangerous to a person's back. They call it no contact hosting, I say no effort, no pride and no respect for guests.

Needs love and update.

Very comfortable, everything was perfect! Location was great, away from the hustle of the city! The shuttle to Acadia picks up at the end of the driveway also. In room coffee was pretty good, plenty of amenities.  Highly recommended!

Excellent stay!

There were positives and negatives with our stay here.  We booked Eden and our room was beautiful and the jacuzzi tub…amazing!  Everything was clean, there were nice, cozy robes in the room and a cool fireplace/heater on the wall that gave a nice romantic ambiance.  Plenty of parking in the back. Because of covid, there is no breakfast served which we were fine with and completely understand. The owners have contactless check-in and check out, so we didn’t see them at all. We didn’t like the fact that they leave the inn lobby door unlocked 24/7.  It was our anniversary and they left us a baggy of trail mix and a few hersheys minis which was kind, but then I got an email to book our next anniversary with them and we’d get roses and/or a chocolate tray.  Would have been nice to get that our first stay.  We were surprised that the owners didn’t reach out at all, text or in person to see if we needed anything. We stayed for 4 nights and nothing. We ran into a guy on property who said hi from a distance, but didn’t say who he was or talk to us about our stay so we weren’t sure if he was an owner. So, overall pros and cons with this inn.

Pros and cons with this inn

Unfriendly, poorly decorated, out of date Inn with no personal contact with the owners.  Our upstairs room was so full of junk we could hardly move around the "decorations."  Could NOT sleep as the Inn is right on the highway and the noise of traffic never ceases.  Ear plugs didn't even do the trick.  No breakfast at all and still a high price.  We paid less at other Maine B&B's with breakfast and friendly hosts.  These hosts want to sell the property and it's certainly obvious.  Couldn't wait to leave.  Bad taste in our mouth with this property so don't stay here.

A B&B lacking a B but still overpriced

No contact check in- Rooms with keys in them ready for your stay- instructions on linens and towels and no interact in person. Do everything with texting OMG- it was great! Place is very quaint and located perfectly for restaurants and shopping. We did see the Inn owners out in the yard and did speak- very relaxing stay!

Bed and Breakfast post covid

This was a great house to stay in for 2 weeks. Very spacious, well-equipped kitchen, etc. It is a real advantage to be outside the mob scene in Bar Harbor itself in the summer, although it's a very short drive to go into town if you want to. Acadia National Park is the main attraction here and we spent 4 days exploring there, usually finding a nice place to eat at the end of the day. As with everything else, restaurants are crowded this time of year, no one takes reservations, and you have to get on waiting lists, so plan ahead. Also, the best time to go into Acadia is after 2:30 p.m. You still have hours of daylight left, which is plenty of time and the crowds are thinning by then. You need to reserve a time to visit Cadillac Mountain, so go on the Acadia website to do that. There are always plenty of openings for any time of day, but you do need a reservation. 

The only recommendations I'd make for the house is to improve the lighting and there is only a queen size bed, which was not that comfortable, but OK, even though we are used to a king at home. Dining room chairs were also uncomfortable. But these are very minor things weighed against all the advantages. I also enjoyed long walks along the path in the morning.
