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

Recently finished home on wooded, residential road in Bass Harbor, on the quiet side of Mt. Desert Island (renovations completed spring 2012). Home has a great layout and comfortably accommodates a large family, two families, or several couples. The kitchen, appliances, bathrooms, fixtures, and many furnishings are brand new. A gas fireplace in the living room can take the chill off a Maine morning or evening. Bedrooms include a king-sized master with private bath, queen-sized bedroom, and a bunk room which sleeps 4. There is a front porch and large rear deck off the kitchen. The home is tastefully decorated and well-appointed. The owners have young children and are happy to accommodate yours. Pets negotiable.

Come visit all that Mt. Desert Island and Acadia National Park have to offer, while enjoying spacious, comfortable accommodations at this beautiful cottage in the woods.



The first level open floor plan includes a tiled entryway, half bath, kitchen with breakfast bar and seating for 4, dining room with seating for 10, den/family room, and living room with a gas fireplace. There are three bedrooms upstairs, including a master bedroom with king bed, walk-in closet, and private bath. The master bath features a double granite vanity, tile shower and separate soaking tub. Also upstairs you will find a queen-sized bedroom and a large bunk-room with two sets of bunk beds to sleep four. Downstairs, the living room can accommodate two additional guests. Options include a queen-sized sofabed and a twin-sized pull-out chair-and-a-half. The home can accommodate a maximum of 10 people, but more comfortably 8. Mattresses and bed linens are all new. There is another full-sized bathroom in the upstairs hallway. Both upstairs bathrooms feature tile floors with radiant heat. The home has hardwood floors throughout, and the first floor also has radiant heat (a benefit for chilly spring and fall visits). A portable crib, high chair, and other baby and child items are available upon request. Please contact owner with your special needs.

Owners also have a smaller rental property in Southwest Harbor. Please view listing #3766383 for more information about that property.

Wonderful stay on the quiet side of MDI

We had a wonderful weeklong stay with members of our extended family. The house and property is beautiful, well maintained and clean. Kitchen is fully stocked with all items necessary to cook. Plenty of games, books, and some puzzles to keep people entertained at the house. The hosts have provided detailed check-in information on how to find the house, along with a book detailing check out and other important information pertaining to the rental. One thing to note, which the host mentioned they plan to make note of for future renters, is that the master shower can take a little bit to heat up on the first day. When I reached out about this they were very prompt in their response. We enjoyed everything about our stay here.

Wedding week

We stayed at Maria’s house for our elopement wedding weekend with our family and friends. It was absolutely perfect! Much bigger than the pictures make it seem. Very clean, comfy and homey. The kitchen is completely stocked to cook full meals and they even had a high chair for our little guy. Very quiet neighborhood, ample parking. We couldn’t have asked for a better home for our week in MDI, we will definitely be back!

Fantastic vacation home for a family.

Very nice home with an open concept. It was perfect for us. It had everything we needed and more. I traveled with my adult daughter, son-in-law, 13 month old granddaughter and adult son. We each had our own bedroom. The owner supplied us with a high chair and toys for our granddaughter. We all had a great time! Would definitely stay at this home again the next time we return to Acadia National Park. HIghly, highly recommend staying here!!! A family trip we will never forget!

It was ok but wouldn’t return

We booked our trip a bit late and this was probably the nicest place that was still available for the end of August. The host was nice and accommodating and even opened the windows for us before arriving to air the place out. I’m just super clean and overly picky so the things I mention might not bother most people. The house was not cleaned to my standards. We found dog hair all over and had to take our socks off at night and wash them separate due to how much stuck to them. We don’t have dogs so to us this is quite icky. We had our baby in a travel crib in the master bedroom but had to move her almost near the door because the big window on the front wall is cracked. The dressers and mirrors and furniture could use some updating. The walls and floors are in need of repair. The mosquitos are horrendous due to the house being located on a swamp/wetland area. The neighbors are awful. Loud and have dogs that roam around without boundaries (one nearly attacked my 4 year old). The location isn’t ideal but it’s doable. On the plus side my kids appreciated the toys and games. Overall we had an ok stay but I would not stay here again and instead find a cleaner quieter place.

Very quaint and beautiful property. We had a great time here exploring Acadia National Park. Bass Harbor light house is only 5’ away.

Fantastic, Comfortable Stay

This was a very comfortable, nice home -- well stocked, radiant heating on the first floor, with thermostat-controlled gas fireplace. Games and books for kids. Fantastic little glade of trees out front. House is private and set back from the road. The only thing about the listing is that we had the impression it was just a quick walk down the road to see the harbor, but it was much further than we expected. Overall, a great place to stay and we'd definitely stay again!

Amazing stay near Acadia!!

Our stay was amazing. We stayed 5 nights. This house was perfect for exploring Acadia and surrounding areas. We used this house as our base point. We explored Bar Harbor, Acadia, and Bass Harbor. The owners were super helpful with quick responses. We grabbed groceries on the way in. Kitchen staples were already available which was amazing! Highly recommend this property. We loved the Chart Room for a waterfront dinner. We loved exploring downtown Bar Harbor. We were not fans of Ketch kitchen near the house-their service was poor and food was cold. Enjoyed this property thoroughly

Clean, cozy and comfortable

Maria was super easy to work with. This home is very well apportioned with cookware and a propane grill to prepare your own meals (including pop overs!) as well as basics like cooking oil, olive oil, coffee maker with filters etc. The home is in great shape and very very clean. We love the Bass Harbor side of the island because it’s quieter. The neighbors were a bit noisy 2 of the 3 nights we were there until about 10:30pm, but not a deal breaker. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this listing or stay there again!
