Perfect Place To Stay for Acadia Visit

Our family of 6 were very comfortable in this home. It had all the amenities we needed and the host was super helpful with local tips, etc. It is a short, easy drive to local attractions. Also a short walk to the nearby lighthouse. Peaceful property to relax inside or outside. Would definitely recommend!!

Wonderful Stay In Beautiful Bass Harbor

We were blessed to have found a perfect place to stay for our vacation. House was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed during our stay.

Comfortable and spacious

We very much enjoyed our stay here -- the house is spacious, clean, quiet, and exactly as described. We loved roasting marshmallows over the firepit and sitting on the back deck, either with the birds for coffee in the morning or watching the sun set over the trees in the evening. We love the quieter side of the island and hope to be back!

Great location and wonderful house

The house was away from the crowds but close enough to be convenient. It was perfect for our multifamily group and really felt like we were in Maine. The house is in a quiet area with lots of woods and away from any crowds, but easy to get to the activities and places we wanted to visit. It was the perfect balance of the what we wanted for our Maine trip. It was family friendly, spacious, clean, and comfortable. Would definitely stay there again on our next trip.

Came up with our family of four plus my mother, great house with lots of room for everyone to have their own space. The porch is beautiful and we really enjoyed just sitting out enjoying the sounds on the quieter side of the island. There was even a family of deer who came through several times. Short walk to the Bass Head Light and right on the Island Explorer route.

The house is in a great location for visiting all MDI and Acadia. It has large rooms and very nice yard. Tina and husband are great host, ready to help anytime for any unforeseen problem.

Comfortable and Homey

The house we rented was a welcome sight for us as weary travelers, as it is nestled in a forest with chirping birds and pine trees. We were close to the Seawall picnic area where we met our relatives and wasn’t far from SW Harbor where we went to the Gilley Museum and dined at some of the local restaurants. The house is nicely laid out for both privacy and socializing. It was a great find.

Had a wonderful stay

Tina was the ideal host, helpful and communicative. We had a great time staying here. There was plenty of space for our grown family of five. It is a perfect spot for reading and relaxing, playing cornhole or basketball, watching the birds and wildlife in the yard, and as a base for for exploring Mount Desert Island. The house was very clean and comfortable and the free park pass was a nice touch. The Hansens store is close by for provisions, and Gotts is just a minute further (they also have pretty good pizza). We were only there for a few days but already have many good memories from this trip!

About the host

Hosted by Tina

Host profile image
I love the quiet of my home and the nature around me. Close to the excitement in Bar Harbor but far enough away to be out of the crazy busyness. I grew up and have lived here my whole life. I live here on the island's off season. I pay attention to detail and hope you find that true of the cleanliness of the home. I hope that you will enjoy this home and will want to come back to explore more of this beautiful island, and feel at home.

Why they chose this property

This property is in a quiet neighborhood. You can walk to the Light house to catch a sunset or a quick drive to Seawall to watch the ocean waves and a sunrise. There are two, fairly easy, trails close by. This house is very functionable for 2 to 6 people and plenty of space to spread out and have your own place. The outdoor yard is big and has chairs to just sit and read a book or relax and just breathe. It is comfortable, clean and has a great back deck.

What makes this property unique

You can often sit on the back deck and hear the lobster boats returning from their days catch. Catching a fresh salty breeze from time to time on a lounge chair is my favorite. Now you can see the ocean through the trees and catch the sunset as it sets in the sky. Your can walk and enjoy the lighthouse w/out the hassle of finding a parking place. Walk down around the town to see the ferry coming and going from Swans Island and enjoy a meal at a local restaurant. It has a split level to have separation between 2 small families. There are often deer that lay in the back, sometimes w/their fawns.
