About this house rental

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.)


Keywords: On the Ocean. Single family home. Quiet, scenic, comfortable.

Great communication with the owner. Beautiful property. Quaint chalet. You can tell the owners take pride in it and it is very well taken care of. They genuinely care about the guests that stay and their chalet. They had lots information on things to do. Wonderful memories made. I really hope we can make it back here one day!

My wife and our two teenage daughters had a wonderful week staying at this house. As described, the house is right on Bass Harbor, which makes hiking around Acadia and going to the ocean very easy. We love 'the quiet side' of Mt. Desert Island and Warren's house is the perfect spot to enjoy it. We hope to come back!

This is such a lovely little chalet right on the water. On the quiet side of the island which is what we wanted. Absolutely loved just sitting outside and watching the changing tides. Several restaurant options nearby but everything you need to cook at the chalet too. Very clean and lots of information provided by the hosts. Easy check in and out. Will definitely stay here if we are able to return to Maine again.

Great location, near Acadia but away from the crowds. Nice views, that change dramatically with the tide. The chalet has all you need, and was clean and comfortable. Communication from the host was good as well.

17 years visiting Maine, last 5 yrs MDI area. The Elvin's Cottage by far the best overall stay! Cleanliness of the cottage, felt like staying in someone's home, not a rental. Communication fast, and friendly with many suggestions. Location, honestly the best for everything. We drove 1500 miles from GA, What's another 20 miles to Bar Harbor area. This year we came to relax, walk the carriage roads and Jordan's pond and eat Lobster everyday! Purchasing Lobster from Long Hill Lobster guy and wife, and cooking at the cottage, eating on the deck was the best! Along with take out from Thurston's. Plan on returning 2024
