Wonderful stay in Bass Harbor. House was exactly how it was described.
Check in was so simple, kitchen was equipped with all the amenities as described. WiFi was great in the house but a little weak when on the deck. We were close to Bar Harbor, but Bass Harbor had great stores, restaurants and cafes. Hiked a number of trails close to the house. Just a short walk to the lighthouse.

The cottage was just as listed and worked well for us. The view was AMAZING! The stairs down to the beach were great and we loved combing the beach.

Oceanfront Gem
This home was a well-equipped quiet escape for our family trip to Acadia. We enjoyed relaxing on the back deck at the end of the day watching nature and the harbor activities.
