About this house rental

Situated in Bass Harbor, this attractive house for $841 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. This historic home in the center of Bass Harbor village offers a way to experience the beauty of Mount Desert Island away from the crowds and tourist buses. Come and enjoy authentic cottage living at a fraction of Bar Harbor prices. The property has a front house, Harbor View Cottage (this listing), and a back house, Bass Harbor Hideaway (VRBO #351747), that are both available for summer rentals. Harbor View Cottage overlooks Bass Harbor, a scenic marina filled with lobster boats. The Cottage offers a view of the harbor from its lawn, living room and two of the bedrooms, including spectacular Maine sunsets. Harbor View Cottage is spacious, sunlit and comfortable--a quiet, elegant outpost from which to enjoy all that Mt. Desert Island and Acadia have to offer. It features: • Three bedrooms, plus a finished attic living space. The bedrooms include one with 2 twin beds, a second with 2 twin beds, and a third with 1 king-size bed. Two of the bedrooms overlook Bass Harbor. There are also 4 additional twin beds in the attic. • There is a full bath on the second floor, and an additional shower/sink/toilet in the finished attic. • Living room, dining room, eat-in kitchen (full-size appliances). • Linens and towels are included. • Washer/dryer and charcoal grill are provided. • Expansive front yard with plenty of room for kids to run around and explore. Yard includes a fire pit for roasting marshmallows. • 1 mile from Bass Harbor Head Light. • 12-minute drive to the nearest Acadia National Park destinations. • 10-minute drive to shops & restaurants of Southwest Harbor. • Minutes to Echo Lake, hiking trails, swimming, boating, golf & fishing. • Free island shuttle to Bar Harbor and other points of interest. Shuttle stops every hour on the hour, and picks up near the base of the driveway. • High-speed broadband WIFI at speeds of 300 Mbps downloads / 10 Mbps uploads (typically fast enough to stream). Performance may vary based on the number of devices being used. • Note: AT&T cell phone service works well in Bass Harbor, but Verizon and T-Mobile offer spotty service. If you have Verizon or T-Mobile, you may want to make park and other reservations ahead of time. Got a Large Group? The back house, Bass Harbor Hideaway (vrbo #351747), sleeps 4-6 people. For groups of up to 16, you may want to consider renting both houses. **We are following our routine cleanings between tenants with EPA-registered disinfectants to kill germs on high-touch surfaces such as kitchen counters, appliances, doorknobs, cabinet knobs, light switches, faucets, toilet handles and television remote controls. We also air out the house between renters.** Keywords: #Acadia #islandliving #harborviewcottage #MtDesertIsland #MaineVacation #southwestharbor #quietside

Exceptionally well equipped comfy and cozy yet spacious home. Beds were great, and there were 8 singles and one king, great layout. 2.5 baths with a bathroom on all 3 levels. Airy sun room, plenty of parking. We felt at home the moment we walked in. Games and cable tv, everything in tip top shape (no missing pieces or remotes!) even found chargers and extra batteries in the desk! All-in-all a great place to stay.

We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the owner's help with our post-hurricane questions. They were very responsive. Great seafood restaurant just across the street (Fresh Ketch).

We loved our vacation in this wonderful, spacious home. It has everything you could need and Bass Harbor and Bernard were fun areas to explore more thoroughly. We already love everything about Mount Desert from decades of visiting. Missing the sunsets and the bell buoys now. Thank you, Bobbie! We hope to return.

A beautiful location and view with plenty space. It's an older property with rustic interior and appliances but the location, charm and view are great!!! Easy to get to the park and around the island. Have stayed twice and would return!

My group of 6 friends stayed for a long weekend. The location is amazing right on the water. Bobbie was very communicative. The kitchen is nicely stocked. A small note for larger groups — there are 2 showers and the hot water seemed to run out after 3 people showered, so keep that in mind for scheduling. Overall would recommend 10/10
