Affordable Vacation Home Near Acadia National Park

This historic home in the center of Bass Harbor village on Mount Desert Island has a front house, Harbor View Cottage (https://www.vrbo.com/1565813), 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 offers a quiet, rustic 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).
• 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.
• Large front and side yards provide plenty of room for children to play and explore.
• 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, 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. We also offer basic+ cable TV.
• 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.***

Just a nice place to stay, no real issues other than the thermostats were difficult to figure out, the kitchen roof leaks a little water when you shower upstairs, and the fridge shakes the house when the compressor turns off. Home owner was kind enough to mail me my souvenirs I souvenirs left, and everything was neat and tidy.

Fall trip to Acadia
College buddies and wives had a great stay on Mt. Desert Island. We liked the slower pace of this side of the island but was an easy and beautiful drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia NP. House is a good representation of homes in the area, nothing fancy but functional.

Perfect Place Perfect Area
It was comfortable and the area was just perfect! Super close to the light house and the Seawall picnic area where we went to stargaze. We watched the sunset 2 mins away from the house as well. Honestly perfect for what we needed!

Enjoyed our stay very much. We, however, wish the heater/furnace had been on. Also, need to make the television instructions more clear. Only mention streaming, and state there is no cable in your instructions.

Peaceful Bass Harbor
Great location, across the Harbor and a short drive to busy Bar Harbor. This is a n older traditional historic Maine home, very comfortable and cozy. Very peaceful. The owners provided everything you need, even a washer and dryer. My family and I really appreciated the activity and restaurant guides the owners provided. We followed their recommendations and it made our experience even better.

We stayed three nights at this home. It was clean and check in process very easy. All bedrooms are upstairs. Beds and pillows were comfortable. It is approximately 30 min drive to Bar Harbor. We also enjoyed dining in the restaurants closer to Bass Harbor.

Bass Harbor Hideaway
We enjoyed being on the quiet side of Acadia National Park! Our grandson enjoyed the outside property! Although the inside was a bit dated, we really enjoyed the 2 bathrooms and having 2 floors! It was warm and cozy! We especially appreciated all the extras - all the amenities were there and then some!!

Great property at a great location
Our stay in Bass Harbor was fantastic and Bobbie's place served as an excellent home base for the long weekend. It's described as a nice place that's maybe a little dated, but honestly we found it far more charming than some boring new condo and were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. We loved the weird, old, but very functional kitchen! It really reminded me of visiting my grandmother's house when I was little with simple furnishings, but everything is still very functional and comfortable. It's an old house on a quiet side of the island so even for a weekend in August we never saw a bit of traffic and nothing was ever longer than 30 minutes away. We were a party of four and we never felt crowded. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good home base for Acadia and anything else on MDI.

Family Getaway
Loved this getaway on the quiet side of MDI. Plenty of room for our family aside and the perfect escape. An easy drive to anywhere on the island with everything we needed, from groceries to dining to shopping, was within 5 minutes! We’ll definitely be back!!
