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

Highlight of the stay is breakfast included, which is offered at a restaurant in bar harbor. Otherwise conditions of the hotel matched my expectations, i.e. not much. The room is small, old and a bit smelly, BUT it is better than my stays past years, in same price range. So the issue is not with the hotel, but with the region which lacks quality hotels for reasonable cost Set your expectations right and you will enjoy the stay.

While the decor and fixtures are dated the room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Heathwood is close to Bar Harbor and Acadia - lovely 10 min drive with plenty of activity and dining options. Owners have a lovely common room with plenty of snacks. If we were staying longer for two nights I would seek out a larger, more updated option but this was a comfortable, quaint and charming two night stay for us at the end of a ten day trip.

We extended our stay in Bar Harbor so needed a place for 1 night. We really enjoyed the Heathwood Inn. We loved sitting out on the deck enjoying the evening. We would have had coffee out there in the morning but we didn't think to bring the chair cushions inside so they were damp! The AC unit was fairly loud and the street was somewhat busy during the night but we still slept pretty well! We had the Master room which was comfortable and clean.

Stayed in the Master room. Clean. Comfy bed. Coffee maker in room. Check in was easy. Check out even easier. Disappointed there was no on site breakfast, but the voucher for Everyday Joe’s was nice. I would book again. Easy to communicate with owners. Definitely made some memories there.

Not our cup of tea

We were very unhappy with the property. It is not as portrayed in Hotels.com…It is very dated in a not good way, somewhat run down. We received a text from the owner before our arrival that said breakfast would not be served but there would be a coupon on the bed for us to get breakfast in town. well that it was a disappointment as the bed and breakfast was described as having a phenomenal local foods breakfast. The text also had instructions about parking and the contactless check-in procedure. We followed the instructions went into the property and up to the room. It was musty and rundown and the mattress on the bed was so soft that we were both certain we could not sleep on it. We decided to leave and we found another place to stay in Bar Harbor. I was truly surprised at the actual state of the property versus how it appears online.

A disappointing experience at Heathwood Inn

This is not really a hotel (as the place was advertised): it's a B&B without breakfast. There's nobody on the premises. We didn't receive an email with instructions, even though I called Heathwood Inn beforehand and was told that the email is coming. There is no cell phone service in the house (it's pretty bad in the area around Bar Harbor), so I had to walk out to get the instructions on the phone. For 2 1/2 days out of the three that we stayed there, there was no Wi-Fi service (and no cell phone service). It was fixed in the evening before we were about to leave. The air conditioner in the room is so loud that you cannot use it at night. The building is set close to the highway, so at night you cannot open the window because of the noise.

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.
