2024 Reviews: Open Hearth Inn Reviews from Real Guests.

Comfortable place to stay. Staff goes out of their way to help. Older units but clean and well kept. Everything worked. Have access to their laundry room and house for no extra charge. Even had a free bbq. Felt very much like home . We had made reservations at a different place but came by here and they helped us out immensely

Excellent Spot for a weekend getaway. We planned to stay in a cottage but ended up getting upgraded to one of the lodges #17 as there was an issue with the cottage from the previous guests. Peaceful and rustic . Great location just outside of Bar Harbour. Staff were super friendly and helpful. They are not always on site but just a text or phone call away . Very clean! Hot tub was an added bonus on a cold night ! Loved the Nautical Theme. Lots of history at this place .. it truly is a gem. Our pup loved it too!

Stayed for three nights, got in two days of great hiking, stayed in unit number 3 of the more than 200 year old main building and we had an awesome time! We had a late arrival after choosing to eat in Bar Harbor and the self check in was easily done. We were happy to learn that our room also had a separate sitting area with a microwave, coffeemaker, and small fridge. To save money we took advantage of the outdoor grill and deck eating area and grilled ourselves a nice meal all while chatting with a friendly couple from Atlanta. The grocery store was only 2min away as well as a few lobster pounds/bbq options. The entire building and grounds were quite clean. Our hosts, Billy and Tiger, could not have been any more helpful and welcoming, were busy running the place but made time to talk with us. If I needed anything, they we just a phone call away. The location (in Trenton) was perfect for getting to the trails (especially on the “quiet side of Acadia”) and for access to Bar Harbor for dinners. We would stay again in a heartbeat! Need a bonus? Tiger makes the best blueberry and strawberry muffins!

We loved our stay in the lodge. It was nice to be out of the hustle & bustle of town. Our room was clean & comfortable and we appreciated the kitchenette. The hot tub was so nice after a long day of hiking!

It may depend upon which one of the cottages you get but Cabin 11 has a horrible mildew smell in the bathroom which got worse as the stay went on based mostly I'm sure, on the towels and shower curtain not drying the entire stay. Not sure why that was since the cabin did not seem that damp inside. Also the pillows were extremely flat and are in dire need of replacement. The shower in that cabin is extremely small as well. That all being said, it is in a great location. If you want a camping/rustic/roughing it type of experience, these cabins are for you, however I would not stay here again myself.
