About this property

Harborside Cottage-overlooking Bass Harbor

Cozy, newly renovated, well appointed cottage overlooking Bass Harbor. The perfect spot for your island getaway. At the end of the day wind down at the water's edge and watch the boats come in. Or, rise early and sip coffee as the sun comes up. You'll love the peace and quiet of this property. This area of the harbor is tidal so twice every 24 hours the water will recede allowing you to see the harbor floor and the wildlife that searches for food when it's low tide.

The space
The property has 2 more cottages with the same layout- perfect for couples traveling together or small groups.

It's a quiet location on the quiet side of the island. It had decent access to Acadia National Park, but the drive to Bar Harbor and most locations in the park were 30 minutes. The shower is really small. When cool/cold outside, it can get quite cold in the cottage due to the lack of insulation and small heaters, but plenty of blankets were available. Management was very responsive to answer any of our questions.

Our recent stay ( September 2025) was fine but cottage was very musty. Pictures showed coffee cups which were none existent, just plastic travel mugs. The bed is a queen and very uncomfortable.Check out time was 10:00, wished it was at least 11:00.

Look no further, you won't find a more authentic Maine experience

This was our first trip to Maine and couldn't have picked a better location. The property was cozy, clean and roomy and had a wonderful view of the harbor. Serene and quiet, and loved to wake up to birds chirping. Lots of nearby Acadia trails and the downtown area has many nice stores and restaurants. The host was great and provided helpful tips. Highly recommend! e only went to Bar Harbor once assYou can

Simply serene

Ingrid and John beautifully maintain 3 lovely properties with amazing views. We had all kinds of weather; sun, clouds, rain, fog on our last day, and every day we enjoyed watching the tides and the gulls, occasionally a lobster boat going out or coming in, from the deck or chairs tucked between trees below. The location is great for hiking Acadia and enjoying amazing food nearby. Inside the cabin was super comfy. It was everything we had hoped for and really needed! Thanks Ingrid and John!

Great Quiet Side Stay

It had been years since I'd visited Bar Harbor/Acadia so my husband and I decided it was time to go back! The cottage was exactly as pictured in the listing, clean and updated nicely. The location couldn't be beat either. We were just minutes from Thurston's Lobster Pound and away from the crowds of downtown Bar Harbor. A wonderful little cottage, lobster and quiet. What else do you need on vacation in Maine?!

An effortless, comfortable get away

Newly renovated and well-kept property with all of the essentials you'll need for a pleasant get-away. The contactless access was a breeze because Ingrid was very responsive to text messages. In fact, within an hour of our departure she sent a text asking about something we had mistakenly left behind and quickly offered to ship it to us if that was our desire. I've already recommended the Tidewatch Cottages to my sister who I planning a trip to Arcadia next year.

Zen in the woods

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Harborside cottage. We loved the location in the woods overlooking the harbor. The cottage was very clean and well appointed. Communication with Ingrid our host was amazing. This is a hidden gem.
