About this property

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.

Beautiful view

The view from the back deck in the morning is beautiful! We loved our drive through the small towns with the fishing boats and sail boats. It was so nice to stay in a quiet area away from the heavy tourist area and yet close enough to drive to those areas exploring the lighthouses and communities.

Beautiful property with an excellent view.

Perfect location for all of my favorite stops! Bass harbor lighthouse, seawall, wonderland trail, echo lake, sand beach, thunder hole, ocean path, otter cliffs. Thurstons, charlottes legendary lobster pound, upper deck, seafood ketch, the little shack with homemade sweets is right down the way, Hansen’s seaside lobster and ice and ice cream (delicious blueberry pie and blueberry ice cream!) So many places and never enough time! Pretty marsh is beautiful, peaceful and has less traffic. Kayaking not too far from pretty marsh. Exactly as pictured. Our only complaint would be the small shower but at least we had one, right❤️ We will return❤️

I'd Book Again In A Minute!

My friend and I booked this rental for the first two weeks of September for a first vacation in more than two years. We were celebrating a special birthday and we could not have been more pleased. We loved the property and being out in such beautiful and natural surroundings made it so relaxing. The cottage was just as it was pictured on the internet and all of the furnishings were in such good taste and not "cheap" as you would find in some other rentals. The hosts were always available, caring and felt like family. We would give them a 10 rating if the scale went up that far. Thanks Ingrid and John for a special vacation in one of our favorite places-----Acadia!

Comfortable and Quiet Retreat

This little cabin was a perfect place to enjoy the peaceful side of Acadia National Park. The house was spotless and had everything we needed for a week at the park. And any requests that we had Ingrid immediately took care of. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Acadia in the future.

Lovely cottage with picturesque view of bass harbor

The driftwood cottage is very comfortable for two people. Very nicely decorated and everything feels fresh and new. There is lovely deck off back and path that leads to water. This part of the island is quiet and serene. I would definitely recommend the cottage.

Quiet and beautiful scenery

Overall the cottage was perfect for my husband and I. The deck was great for bbq and sitting outside enjoying the view. We used 4 mosquito coils at night and it really helped. We wanted a quiet place and this was perfect. 1/2 hour drive to Acadia was very pleasant. The cottage is just as it is shown in the pics, but the shower is small and screens and sliding doors didn’t slide well . We would stay there again

Off the beaten path on Mt. Desert

Driftwood Cottage was thoughtfully decorated with interesting art and Maine themed pieces throughout. It was well stocked with kitchen and bath items for our 2 week stay. The expansive deck provided enchanting views of the changing tidal basin and the family of ducks that passed by frequently. Even on rainy days, the cottage was pleasant and comfortable, perfect for completing an afternoon jig saw puzzle. The three cottages are strategically designed and situated so that each cottage feels very private while providing unique views from each deck. The area is very quiet yet only a short drive to Southwest Harbor. Ingrid was a perfect host with quick responses to our questions and requests.

Peaceful waterfront cottage

I had a great stay at Driftwood Cottage. The cottage was beautifully decorated, and the kitchen had everything I needed. It’s clear that a lot of thought was put into ensuring an excellent guest experience. I worked remotely during part of my stay, and the WiFi was strong both in the cottage and down at the waterfront sitting area. Bar Harbor and the main Acadia attractions are about a half hour away, but there are also some great shops, restaurants and hikes to explore closer to the cottage. Ingrid was a friendly and attentive host, and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!
