About this property
Fiona's Quiet Side Cottage—2 min to ocean, 1m to Bass Harbor Light
Escape the crowds and enjoy the quiet side of MDI—while still enjoying quick, easy access to all Acadia has to offer—in this cozy, darling cottage just a minute walk from the working harbor of Bass Harbor and a minute drive from Acadia and its stunning trails.
Quiet, well-appointed, and full of charm, this is the perfect getaway for a single person, a couple, or a small family. You'll love the keen attention to detail, high-quality and well-stocked kitchen, and massive fenced-in backyard for your pup. Enjoy the faint sounds of the fog bell in the harbor when you wind down in the comfortable queen bed, then sip your morning coffee (or espresso - we have both!) on the patio, or cozy up on the comfortable couch and watch the stunning morning light filter through the big, bright windows.
Enjoy a short 2 minute walk to the ocean, and beautiful views of the active, working Bass Harbor, where local lobstermen come and go. Drive just 90 seconds down the road (or walk!) to the only lighthouse on the island, iconic Bass Harbor Light, or to the stunning Ship Harbor Trail, a mellow 1.5 mile hike with breathtaking ocean vistas.
We take pride in providing all the amenities you'd enjoy in a well-equipped home. This is no 'bare bones' experience; our family loves MDI, and takes pride in providing a wonderful, comfortable experience for you and yours!
