hot. If you rent in the Fall we have a gas stove for keeping warm. The property is up the street from Bass Harbor Lighthouse. Ferry Terminal and hiking trails only 5 mins away! Located on the quiet side of the Island but only a short drive to Bar Harbor. Many great restaurants and stores on our side of island too. Decorated with a classic theme. The house was totally rebuilt and redecorated 3 years ago. We provide comfortable sheets and linens. This is very important to our family.

Charming Maine getaway

I have always wanted to visit this part of the US and it was everything that I hoped it would be. This property has been thoughtfully and lovingly decorated and stocked with everything you would need. Communication with the owner was quick and appreciated. If you are seeking to stay outside of the touristy Bar Harbor yet close to all options, this location is perfect.

Great location in Tremont Maine.The cottage was clean, beautifully decorated and well equipped. A perfect spot for exploring Acadia, Northeast Harbor and Bar Harbor. Would highly recommend a windjammer cruise on the Margaret Todd in Bar Harbor and dinner at the Little Fern restaurant in the Claremont Hotel. We absolutely loved our three day stay!

It was a nice stay, about a 30-35 minute drive to Acadia/Bar Harbor. Only thing to note is that only the living area had AC so the upstairs bedrooms got a bit warm.
