The view and location is worth the fee alone! It is a privilege to have someone share their home with strangers let alone such an incredible location, the view from the living area, the trees, the ocean and sky, the birds along with the deer, just beautiful. This is not the tourist area of Bar Harbor, it is where the locals live and privacy abounds.

Beautiful home on the water! Great hosts. Beautiful sunsets, chairs on the beach and quiet. Easy walking distance to the Bass Harbor light house. The apartment had everything we needed. Enjoyed the gardens and overall peace. Highly recommend.

My husband and I stayed here for the week of 6/23-6/30/18. Dianne and Andrew, the owners, are very gracious and friendly, ready to offer advice or answer questions on where to find the best lobster dinner or what to see on the island. Nestled at the end of a long driveway, this is the perfect place to relax, slow down, and take in the beautiful scenery. It is located on the edge of Bass Harbor, where you can watch the lobster boats checking their traps, enjoy the cool breeze coming off the water, and take in the serenity of beautiful sunsets. We even saw a deer swimming across the water and climbing up on land! The apartment is on the second floor with a huge picture window facing the water. It comes fully stocked with anything you might need, and everything was very clean and comfortable. The two-car garage is included in the rental, where you have access to a washer and dryer. We really appreciated this, since my husband had spent a week fishing on Lake Champlain before we traveled to Maine, and had a bag full of laundry! Although we were attached to the main house, we enjoyed the privacy of the backyard and felt like we were in our own little paradise. We especially enjoyed watching the antics of two little squirrels in their efforts to get to the birdseed in the feeder. Dianne has numerous flowerbeds and an impressive vegetable garden on the property, which added to the tranquility of the setting. Even though we were on the "quiet side" of the island, it was just a short drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Public buses are available at no cost, although we did not take advantage of this. Overall, we had a wonderful time during our week here! If you are planning a vacation to Acadia National Park, this is definitely the perfect place to stay!
