Great location, across the Harbor and a short drive to busy Bar Harbor. This is a n older traditional historic Maine home, very comfortable and cozy. Very peaceful. The owners provided everything you need, even a washer and dryer. My family and I really appreciated the activity and restaurant guides the owners provided. We followed their recommendations and it made our experience even better.

We stayed three nights at this home. It was clean and check in process very easy. All bedrooms are upstairs. Beds and pillows were comfortable. It is approximately 30 min drive to Bar Harbor. We also enjoyed dining in the restaurants closer to Bass Harbor.

We enjoyed being on the quiet side of Acadia National Park! Our grandson enjoyed the outside property! Although the inside was a bit dated, we really enjoyed the 2 bathrooms and having 2 floors! It was warm and cozy! We especially appreciated all the extras - all the amenities were there and then some!!

Our stay in Bass Harbor was fantastic and Bobbie's place served as an excellent home base for the long weekend. It's described as a nice place that's maybe a little dated, but honestly we found it far more charming than some boring new condo and were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. We loved the weird, old, but very functional kitchen! It really reminded me of visiting my grandmother's house when I was little with simple furnishings, but everything is still very functional and comfortable. It's an old house on a quiet side of the island so even for a weekend in August we never saw a bit of traffic and nothing was ever longer than 30 minutes away. We were a party of four and we never felt crowded. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good home base for Acadia and anything else on MDI.

Great view of the harbor. The unit was clean and functional.

Loved this getaway on the quiet side of MDI. Plenty of room for our family aside and the perfect escape. An easy drive to anywhere on the island with everything we needed, from groceries to dining to shopping, was within 5 minutes! We’ll definitely be back!!

This was a clean and modest lodging located very near parts of Acadia National Park and about 30 minutes away from the main park. It was reasonably priced compared to other lodging options in the area. The house is older but for the most part is well maintained and clean. So why four stars instead of five? A few reasons: 1) The pullout mattress is very uncomfortable. My wife and I woke up every morning with aches. As advertised, this is the only bed in the house where you can sleep with a partner. 2) The pullout couch/bed is located in the living room where there are no curtains to block out the rising sun from coming in the sliders located on the room's east side. The sun rises as early as 5am in Acadia in the summer! 3) The washing machine had a broken valve while we were there (June 2023). There was a sign that said the owner was aware of this problem, but people should be warned that until this issue is fixed, it took us a looong time to do a load of laundry. The same sign expressing awareness of the broken valve also asked users to turn off the valve for the washing machine when it wasn't in use, so we felt guilty putting a load of laundry in before leaving for our activities today. My wife ended up having to set an alarm to wake up in the night to turn the valve off and put the clothes in the dryer (again, because the washing machine took hours to finish a cycle due to the broken valve). Minor issues, but worthy enough to be mentioned.

Bobbie was great and her place is located near so many spots to visit! she also had a whole binder of recommendations- very organized. We enjoyed our stay

Very clean, loved the 2 bathrooms, roomey, very remote, quiet and convenient location. Excellent directions.

This place is exactly how it’s described. Nothing fancy, but clean and exactly what we needed for a few days visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia. It’s just a short drive to everything. And there is a great restaurant across the water called Thurstons that I highly recommend for your lobster fix! The house is situated on a quiet road and we enjoyed the space.

Great location

We had an amazing time here!! It was very clean and was exactly as described!

Although somewhat dated as specified in the listing, the house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We would stay here again.

The only problem with the place is that it had a smell to it. I think it was the carpet because upstairs didn’t smell. Parking was a tight squeeze also since it’s a duplex and two cars were already there. Other than that we had a fabulous time and we enjoyed our stay.

My husband and our two adult children enjoyed the excellent location and comfort of this house. The only recommendation that I would have is to supply a Keurig type coffee pot and to make it clear that there is no AC. Everything else was great!

Beautiful get away spot!

We love coming to Acadia, and this house was a gem. Check in and check out process was seamless and all information was provided well ahead of time, which is always appreciated. The property is so nice. It is the posterior aspect of a two family house and my family of four had ample room to spread out. The kitchen is equipped with everything that you need, and I always appreciate considerate host touches like having saran wrap, basic spices, etc. in case I forget things. We had a view of the harbor, which was lovely. So nice to have outdoor space as well. Our first night we walked to the restaurant across the street and had a great meal! FYI there is a designated patio space for each unit, though they are situated quite close to each other. (The other renters sat outside and smoked continuously throughout the day which was not pleasant for us, so we did not use ours very much unfortunately). But otherwise we loved the outdoor space as well as the garage to store our bikes. In summary I would rent this house again in a heartbeat! We hope to be back in a year or two.

We had a great 3-night stay in Bass Harbor, a great location for visiting the “quiet side” of Acadia (although we did it all including Schoodic). The house was very spacious and we appreciated the washer and dryer and fully equipped kitchen! We ate at the seafood ketch across the street twice and.had great meals, also went to Thurstons for lobster, but be warned there are only minimal options for non lobster eaters (check out the menu in advance!). Don’t miss The Bass Harbor lighthouse at sunset. Bobbi was a great communicator and we found everything to be exactly as described. Do note that the largest bathroom is downstairs and the 2 bedrooms are upstairs with a small bath. This was the perfect place for three of us on our first trip to Acadia! We would def stay here again.

Clean and well kept. Great location and enjoyable stay!

We very much enjoyed our stay on the quiet side of the island! The house came equipped with everything we needed. The hiking guide was super useful, so thanks for that! Plus, the binder with restaurant recommendations and suggestions for age appropriate activities was a bonus. The owners seem to have thought of everything!

Enjoyed our stay. The hostess was helpful, communicated very well with clear instructions. The house had a lovely view in the front, however, we were in the back unit which has no views but we didn’t realize it till we arrived. If you’re spending considerable time in Bar Harbor, be aware that it is about 35 minutes each way.

We recently stayed at the Bass Harbor Hideaway house to enjoy Acadia National Park. There are plenty of hikes within a 10 minute drive including a beach (Echo Lake). The iconic Bass Harbor Lighthouse is only a 20 minute walk! It'll take you about 30 minutes to get to Cadillac Mountain and Bar Harbor, but that is only because you have to drive slowly through some beautiful harbor towns. We enjoyed this location and if we come back to Mount Desert Island in the future, we would definitely stay again.

It was wonderful to be so comfortable in this spacious home We both loved the convenience of two bathrooms and a washer and dryer and how quiet it was. We loved we were close to Bar Harbor and Ells worth. Had a great time thank you so much

Clean, easy check in/out. Well supplied.

We had 6 adults and two grandchildren and we had both the cottage and the hideaway and everyone had their own space. Was very clean and comfortably used. Quiet and unhurried location. Great view of Bass Harbor.

This place was a great home to spend our week in. The kitchen has plenty of table ware and cooking gadgets. The stove left a bit to be desired but it worked ok. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the home was comfortable and I’d definitely rent again if we return.

Great location for taking trips into and round Acadia. Quiet, across from nice restaurant with view of harbor. Would like to return.

Had beautiful weather and chairs on the lawn were great to sit on and see the harbor views.

Perfect little cottage and home base for our Acadia trip. Great location with water views. Would definitely recommend
