About this property

Our house is located on the “quiet side” of Mount Desert Island with gorgeous water views of Bass Harbor and a working waterfront. The sunsets are spectacular; just ask all the folks that pull up to take pictures! The house has plenty of room to spread out and to entertain with an open concept living space that includes sunroom, dining space and kitchen. The front lawn is perfect for a barbecue or to just relax and watch the boats come in and out of the harbor. We are close to Acadia National Park and on the free, seasonal bus route. Steps away from the Swans Island Ferry. Your leashed, well-behaved pets are welcome.

Perfect vacation

We had a wonderful time staying at Lauren's house. It was comfortable and well equipped. Lauren was gracious, helpful and responsive. We hated to leave!

Peaceful Retreat

We couldn’t have asked anymore from our host. Lauren was very responsive from the first inquiry. She constantly stayed in communication with me. I ask for an odd request to store a camper. She was able to help with finding a solution for me. The home was so very comfortable and cozy. Everything we needed was there. We stayed for five weeks and loved each and every moment. And the sunsets from the front of the house are mesmerizing. Thank you Lauren for making our time there comfortable and memorable.

Absolutely beautiful!

The home is in a great location, was very clean, well equipped, and had everything our group of 7 needed. It was comfortable for all of us and the water view is great. Acadia NP is not far, Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor are quaint little towns worth a visit. The bakery in Southwest Harbor is a must! Thank you for everything and we may be back.

Sunsets Cottage

Quiet small fishing harbor area. Away from the main island attractions, but still within easy driving distance, and away from overcrowded Bar Harbor. There is only one restaurant currently open in the village of Bass Harbor, and we were underwhelmed by their offerings. Southwest Harbor (10 miles) has very good restaurant choices.
