About this property

Bass Harbor Oceanfront Chalet: Peaceful, Private, Great On-The-Ocean View

This is a charming Chalet-style home with 200 feet of shore frontage on Bass Harbor, with views of the working harbor and outlying islands. The Chalet sits on a private, wooded lot (screening you from neighbors), with a large 12' x 24' deck overlooking the harbor and tidal stream. The Kelly Preserve sits across the water from the Chalet, providing plenty of quiet and serenity.

Relax on the deck and watch lobster boats, sail boats, canoes, kayakers, and the Swans Island Ferry within the harbor, or enjoy the view from the comfy living room, dining area, or the ocean-view bedroom. Kids will love to feed the ducks that visit the shore, and you'll enjoy the sunsets from our shore as well. They are spectacular! The Chalet also has secluded and spacious off-road parking.

The property is adjacent to Acadia National Park, which offers beautiful scenery and these recreational opportunities: mountains, ocean views, fresh water lakes, and hiking trails. Also available are naturalist cruises and hikes, whale watching, kayaking, biking on carriage roads, and fresh seafood! There are many restaurants within three miles.

Note that we rent only Saturday-to-Saturday (in increments of 7, 14, 21, etc. nights.)

Note also that the two bedrooms are on the second floor and the bathroom is on the first.

ONE WEEK SPECIAL RATE! For the week of May 30 through June 6, 2026 the rate has been dropped from $290 per night to $210 per night, a $560 reduction for that week.

Why they chose this property

A quiet escape after sightseeing while still having an ocean view and not far from the Island's most scenic spots. Many amenities are provided, some of which were requested by previous renters. Our rates are very competitive compared to comparable properties.

What makes this property unique

Our property is on a 0.3 mile dead-end, paved road, so it doesn't see a lot of traffic. Parking is off road in our spacious driveway. Our property is lined with greenery (mostly white spruce) so there's a good measure of privacy as well. Several renters have commented that it serves as a 'quiet oasis' after a hectic day of sightseeing. Perhaps that helps explain the fact that we have MANY repeat guests. Some have returned for five, six, and seven years. One couple was with us for ten years!
