This property has a front house, Harbor View Cottage (this listing), and a back house, Bass Harbor Hideaway, which are both available for summer rentals. The houses share a very thick common wall and have separate entrances from the driveway for privacy.
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.

• 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.

Summary: We came from CA, MO, and NE to visit a tavern that has the same name as my late husband, Peter Trout. We wanted to experience the harbor areas, and the Atlantic was right at the end of the driveway. Bass Harbor, Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Cadillac Mountain sunrise, and Southwest Harbor were all close and shopped thru. Quaint cafe's and unique eateries filled us with fabulous seafood.

Summary: We so enjoyed our stay. We loved the quiet location of the house and the wonderful lawn in evening time looking out to the harbor. The house was great. We actually only had 7 people and there was plenty of room. The house had everything we needed. The very special aspect was that Bobbie provided recommendations of what to do and see. It was so helpful and we followed up on the recommendations daily. Thanks for the lovely stay.

Summary: This year’s family trip was to Acadia. We found a lovely house that accommodated 5 of us in the tiny town of Bass Harbor. Local fish restaurant is directly across the street. Other amenities, grocery store, are located in Southwest Harbor just 10 minutes away and Acadia is about a 30 minute drive to Visitor Center. House is very comfortable, clean, quiet, and kitchen is well stocked. We had a great time.

Summary: Had a great stay in Bass Harbor. The house is in a great location and has plenty of space. My young kids loved it especially the attic! Recommend it if you want to stay somewhere with a true small town feel. The owner was super helpful and very responsive to messages. High marks!

Summary: Our first trip to Maine to visit Bar Harbor and Arcadia. We found this place in Bass Harbor to be the perfect value for the size house we needed. There was a bed for every person! The drive to Arcadia and Bar Harbor wasn’t too bad and the Bass Harbor lighthouse is just up the road from this house! The sunset views from the harbor were fantastic. The house is charming and quaint and everything you would want from a New England cottage! Bobbie was super accommodating and friendly and excellent to work with. Wonderful memories were made here! Highly recommend!

Summary: The house and property are spacious. We were 2 adults and 3 kids. There would have been room for 5 more. The house is updated enough to make it cozy and comfortable, but they still kept the old New England charm of the place. We watched the water from the large front yard during sunsets and read books on the porch. Being in Bass Harbor instead of Bar Harbor suites us well. There were no crowds, but the house is close enough to Acadia for plenty of hiking and exploring. There is a great restaurant just across the street (Seafood Ketch) that was the best we tried. There are several other really good spots just a short drive away. I can’t think of a single thing wrong with this property. If we go back to the Acadia area, we will do our best to stay here again!
