Large Secluded Pet Friendly Home Just 3 min. Walk To Harbor- NEW 2026 SPECIALS

"Our family thoroughly enjoyed our week at this home!Everything in the description is exactly as you will find it. We loved the service for 12 for our home cooked breakfasts and dinners. A rare find - 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms - made getting ready easy. We were just a short walk to both Island Cruises (highly recommend) and Seafood Ketch restaurant. There was plenty to do on the couple of rainy mornings we had - puzzles, games, and movies.Communication with Bob was very timely and efficient. Any question we had was promptly answered before and during our stay. This is an excellent choice for our family and we would stay again."

Gorgeous Newer Home on Mt. Desert Island, Minutes to Acadia

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved this house in Bass Harbor. We were there with our daughter, son-in-law and 3-year old granddaughter. Our granddaughter loved the double bunk bed room and loved climbing the ladders (with supervision). The kitchen is extremely well equipped. The adjacent dining room is large and convenient. We loved the transitions between the rooms with half walls and white painted woodwork. We spent time on the front porch and back deck. We had great weather while we were there and enjoyed sleeping with open windows. All 5 of us agreed that when we come back to Mount Desert Island, we’d like to stay here again."
