2 Bedroom House in Bass Harbor

This historic home in the center of Bass Harbor village on Mount Desert Island has a front house, Harbor View Cottage, and a back house, Bass Harbor Hideaway (this listing), both of which are available for summer rentals.
Bass Harbor Hideaway is clean, sunlit and comfortable, and is across the street and up the hill from Bass Harbor, a scenic marina filled with lobster boats. The home is quiet and rustic, with somewhat dated decor (see photos), offering a country outpost from which to enjoy all that Mt. Desert Island and Acadia have to offer.
The rental features:
• Two-story gabled duplex, sleeps four upstairs in twin beds, plus two on a pull-out couch.
• Living room, eat-in kitchen (full-sized appliances).
• New kitchen counters, cooktop and sink.
• Two bedrooms on 2nd floor with two twin beds in each (linens and towels included), plus two full baths.
• Small deck with a distant view of Bass Harbor, which is about 300 feet away.
• Washer/dryer and charcoal grill are provided.

• 1 mile from Bass Harbor Head Light.
• 12-minute drive to Acadia National Park.
• 10-minute drive to shops & restaurants of Southwest Harbor.
• Minutes to Echo Lake, hiking trails, swimming, boating, golf, tennis & fishing.
• Free island shuttle to Bar Harbor and other points of interest. Shuttle stops every hour. Visit http://www.exploreacadia.com/route7.htm for the schedule.
• 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 only spotty service. If you have Verizon or T-Mobile, you may want to make park and other reservations ahead of time.
***A Note on Cleaning: We follow our routine cleaning between tenants with EPA-registered disinfectants to kill germs on commonly used surfaces such as kitchen counters, appliances, doorknobs, cabinet knobs, light switches, faucets, toilet handles and television remote controls.***

Summary: We just returned from vacationing in New England and stayed 3 different places. This was our least favorite place. The house felt old, tired, and in need of a fresh update. The heater blasted us with scorching air and it was so difficult to regulate that we had to open the windows. This was our happy surprise; the windows were operable so we could get relief from the runaway heat. Overall, I would say it was just okay.

Summary: It was a very clean and lovely house with plenty of space and a great view! If I were coming back to this area again, I would absolutely stay here again. Very friendly and well-prepared hosts who had a plethora of things you could do on the island written out for you

Summary: The house was in a great location - close to Southwest Harbor, Seawall, all things Acadia National Park. The house has a well equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds and comfortable living room. However, it could use some tender loving care. Kitchen and baths are very “ vintage”. And we were blessed with cool nights so we did not need to use the fans in the home. They are all in need of a good cleaning. Would have liked a new sponge in the kitchen and travel sizes of shampoo and conditioner instead of large sizes. It’s a great little spot. The quiet side of the island for sure. Lots of deer in the yard at dusk.

Summary: This lovely spot in Bass Harbor was perfect! It was not only a beautiful home, but so convenient to the lighthouse and the Ships Harbor hike, and the Island Explorer bus to Bar Harbor/Acadia. We made the mistake of driving into Bar Harbor for a "quick lunch" and quickly discovered that parking was impossible. After we took advantage of the free bus, all of our trips to Bar Harbor (for a whale watch) and Acadia (for a hike at Bee Hive), we had no issues. Plus, the Ketch across the street was delicious!

Summary: First - MAKE SURE you put in the correct address! There is more than one Shore Rd on Mt Desert Island and we accidentally went to the wrong home - awkward! The Bass Harbor location worked well for us and the home’s beds worked. We had two kids in one room, and a kid + adult in the second room. My husband slept on the sleeper sofa and the baby was in his pack n play. We have a larger family so we adapted! We appreciated that the owners gave us some directions on their favorite things to see. Acadia was great! Wear bug spray.

Summary: This place was perfect for our two nights stay near Acadia. It’s about a 35 minute drive during the busiest week of the year. Our favorite restaurant was Thurston’s lobster pound across the harbor. And we really enjoyed a nature cruise around the corner with bassharborcruises.com

Summary: Our family absolutely loved our visit at this home! We loved how quiet the little harbor area was, despite how busy the island was for the 4th of July holiday, and the quaint old home gave great authentic Maine vibes. Host information was helpful, and they were attentive when we needed to contact them.
