Stunning view! Fun to watch the lobster boats go out in the morning. The cottage was filled with light. Our only negative was the steep stairway, because we are older and have balance issues.

We were trying to escape the Florida heat and found this exquisite little jewel of a cottage to be the perfect solution. The cottage is bathed in sunlight with windows everywhere! The decor is professional and comfortable and incorporates the hues of the nearby sea.The feature wall in the bedroom that is adorned with blue and white plates was charming. And the fully equipped kitchen made it easy for us to have meals at home which was important to us. We enjoyed watching the sunsets from the west facing deck and gazed at the stars from the east facing porch. The cozy walled garden was private and bursting with flowers. The bed was comfy and we found the perfect sleep number so we were both able to enjoy the right firmness required. This cottage is located in bass harbor which is an active bustling fishing village. There are lobster boats coming and going and a constant supply of changing scenery. There is a local museum a couple of doors down the road which I found interesting. If you are looking for a special place to enjoy the rhythm of mt desert island, then this is the place for you. The service provided by the host was 5* with many extras one doesn’t see in a rental and issues were dealt with quickly and efficiently. We were even provided with a mid stay cleaning with sheets and towels changed and bath and kitchen cleaned!

Enjoyed our stay. Road a little busy with ferry traffic. Beautiful views from upstairs balcony. Just a FYI there is a large refrigerator in basement.

The house has incredible views, comfy beds, is very clean & steps away from a local restaurant serving top-notch seafood. The Host was extremely accommodating and called the day after we arrived to discuss what we needed. He even sent a check for sponges that we bought that were missing in the kitchen. That being said, there were a few things that made our stay less than wonderful, esp considering the price: 1. Too many detailed instructions from the host at numerous times in a somewhat condescending tone was stressful and unnecessary. 2. It was v. busy at the end of a private, well-traveled, gravel road where many cars came and went as well as a popular spot for neighbors to relieve their dogs and visit. Normally, this would be fine, but if you expect a quiet location away from the hubbub, this is not really it. 3. If you plan on doing a fair amount of cooking, be aware that the refrigerator is not a full-sized one and no freezer to speak of. Also, the grill is not a gas one so you will have to buy lighter fluid and clean out the charcoal using utensils you bring when done (unless there was a shovel and bucket that we did not see). 4. The studio w. no bathroom had no key to the back door so our teen had to walk out front in his pjs in the night under a bright street light to use the bathroom inside - we felt uncomfortable keeping the back door unlocked. Also, the armoire was moldy smelling and my son's clothes still have a moldy stench even after multiple washings.

Perfect place for a quiet, low key vacation! Beautiful view of Bass Harbor. Easy drive to all parts of Acadia National Park. Some trails and lighthouse are less than 10 minutes drive. Quiet village and beautiful cottage.

Adorable cottage with wonderful view overlooking Bass Harbor. Fully stocked with everything we needed. Bright interior with many windows and skylights. Super clean and what a cute yard and beautiful garden. Comfortable queen bed. Quiet location on the Quiet Side of the island. Walked to dinner several times, bought live lobsters a short distance down the road towards SWH direct from lobsterman's garage at very fair price.

The cottage was perfect for a short getaway just by myself. The bedroom was absolutely beautiful and dreamy with lovely views and a lot of natural light. The bed, comfortable with adjustable firmness. The kitchen had everything I needed to make meals at home and was comfortable to cook in. The location is excellent- close to Bar Harbor and Acadia, and all the drives are scenic. Roger was an excellent host and his communication is clear and helpful. My only critique (which is beyond control of the host) is that the house next door was extremely close and not of the same quality as the cottage making it a bit uncomfortable (especially as a solitary female traveler) to be outside or have window shades up on that side of the house. Other than that, the cottage was delightful.
