About this cottage rental

Flip a coin into the waters of Bass Harbor from the deck of this charming and cozy 1BR cottage overlooking the working Up Harbor Marina below and the mountains of Acadia National Park in the short distance.
Sip your coffee before your hiking, kayaking and/or sightseeing adventures as boats, both working lobster and pleasure craft, crisscross the harbor below.
Harbor Cottage gives the best of both worlds: the tranquility of the quiet side of Mount Desert Island plus easy access to adventure!
The first floor is an inviting open living/dining space with a full kitchen alcove and a sliding glass door to the small deck for grilling or peacefully enjoying a morning coffee while watching the sunrise over Acadia and boats coming and going in the harbor.

Upstairs is a queen bed with commanding views of the harbor and off shore islands. Or stream your favorite shows on the bedroom TV. Please bring your own streaming codes.

The kitchen is fully equipped, the Wi-Fi strong enough for a working couple on the go, the TV waits for your streaming codes, and Acadia National Park’s 26 mountains to climb, lakes and ponds for swimming or kayaking, and all Mount Desert Island's 13 villages and towns, with their restaurants and shops are within a 20 radius of your doorstep awaiting exploration.

Harbor and mountain views, a marina and water access, and Acadia National Park just a few miles away define this comfy and peaceful oceanfront location.

From our dock next door you will have access to some of the best kayaking and canoeing in the area. You can explore the very calm harbor. Bring your own boats or we can steer you to local kayak or canoe rental locations nearby.
A short walk or drive will bring you to one of the highest rated lobster and seafood restaurants on Mount Desert Island.

Charming cottage with beautiful views of the harbor! Great spot to sit on the deck just watching the morning boat traffic with coffee in hand. Cottage was very clean, comfortable and well stocked. 100% would stay here again!

Wonderful location on Bass Harbor! We enjoyed the beautiful view of the harbor, watching the birds and sitting on the deck. Our favorite lobster place was a short walk away. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and had a nice kitchen. I enjoyed sleeping with the windows in the bedroom open for the cool breeze. We had a wonderful stay and hope to go back again.

We loved this cottage on the water. Great views of the harbor, even in the rain. Cottage was very well stocked and maintained. Jack always available to answer questions. Perfect for 2 people and a dog! And we appreciated being on the quiet side of MDI, yet a short walk from a great lobster place.

We had a great stay over the 4th of July. Every morning we enjoyed coffee on the deck, watching the boats go in and out of the harbor and listening to the birds. The cottage was simply decorated and had a well stocked kitchen and very comfortable bed. We were able to walk the a secluded rocky beach with our beagle and were a short drive from the cute village of southwest harbor. Excellent jumping off point for visiting Acadia and a lovely place to just be. Would recommend!

My husband and I were thrilled when we turned up at this absolutely charming cottage right on the water last Sunday for our week-long vacation. This property hasn’t been on the market long and the photos on the site haven’t been updated to reflect just how lovely and private this place feels even though it’s on a working harbor right next to a boathouse. It’s so quiet here you can hear the quiet: nothing but the sounds of water, gulls, and a few boats coming in and out. You really do feel like you’ve gotten away from it all. And Jack, our contact at the cottage, was terrific. He gave us a warm Maine welcome and plenty of fun anecdotes about the area. The cottage is tiny but it has everything you need for a relaxing stay. Our 16-year-old dog felt right at home, too. We will definitely be back! 10/10

The location cannot be beaten in my mind. Wonderful views of the harbour. Just sitting on the deck watching the sunrise and the boats moving about was magical. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean and very well appointed. Every need has been anticipated by the owners and all the equipment and materials you could ever want are there. Jack was very welcoming and friendly. If you want a perfect, peaceful getaway look no further. We will be back.
