We are located on Rt 102A, just minutes to the historical Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse, Ships Harbor, Wonderland and Seawall, surrounded by the windswept Acadia National Park.

Enjoy our rugged mountains and woodland trails, deep thick forests and beautiful plush gardens.
Listen, enjoy and play in the pounding surf of the great Atlantic Ocean as it crashes against our islands rocky shorelines. Acadia National Park has lots to offer the hiker, naturalist, birdwatcher, artist, and nature lovers of all kinds.

This place was very clean, bright, roomy (for 3) and relaxing. The host responds quickly to messages and check in is simple. We appreciated the simplicity of the check out process as well. The location is on the "quiet side" of the island with quick access to the the Bass Harbor light, Wonderland, and Ship Harbor trails as well as Seawall.

Property was clean and well-stocked. Mary was responsive. When the power went out on the island, she even came to the property to check in with us. House is less than 10 minutes from Southwest Harbor, which has a cute little downtown and awesome restaurant (Drydock Cafe). We would definitely return.

The house was just as described. Very clean, organized, and comfortable. Mary was very communicative and easy to work with. House was a great location, convenient to Acadia, towns, and restaurants. Wish we could have stayed longer. I would definitely recommend staying here and would come back again.

This home was perfect for my family of three and there was room for more. It was situated very close to Bass Harbor so we walked down a block every night to watch the boats come in and saw spectacular sunsets from there. The house is very clean and well-outfitted with everything we needed. Definitely will rent again when we come back to Acadia.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay at this cottage and our interaction with our host, Mary. We loved being on the “quiet side” of Mount Desert, and still were able to enjoy beautiful hikes that were 5-10 minutes away. Mary was willing to bring us anything we needed during our stay—gas for the grill, toys and a wagon for our children. The cottage felt cleaner than most hotels I’ve stayed in. Would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for an Acadia vacation.
