Maison de vacances abordable près du parc national d'Acadia

The house is older but comfortable, functional, and clean. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of pots and pans and such compared to other VRBO rentals I've stayed at, which is very nice.

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!!

This was a clean and modest lodging located very near parts of Acadia National Park and about 30 minutes away from the main park. It was reasonably priced compared to other lodging options in the area. The house is older but for the most part is well maintained and clean. So why four stars instead of five? A few reasons: 1) The pullout mattress is very uncomfortable. My wife and I woke up every morning with aches. As advertised, this is the only bed in the house where you can sleep with a partner. 2) The pullout couch/bed is located in the living room where there are no curtains to block out the rising sun from coming in the sliders located on the room's east side. The sun rises as early as 5am in Acadia in the summer! 3) The washing machine had a broken valve while we were there (June 2023). There was a sign that said the owner was aware of this problem, but people should be warned that until this issue is fixed, it took us a looong time to do a load of laundry. The same sign expressing awareness of the broken valve also asked users to turn off the valve for the washing machine when it wasn't in use, so we felt guilty putting a load of laundry in before leaving for our activities today. My wife ended up having to set an alarm to wake up in the night to turn the valve off and put the clothes in the dryer (again, because the washing machine took hours to finish a cycle due to the broken valve). Minor issues, but worthy enough to be mentioned.

Enjoyed our time there. Laundry facilities were great. Kitchen facilities were great. Couldn’t get the tv work. No coffee. Liked proximity too seafood restaurant. Great communication with the manager. Easy checkout.

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.

This property was an affordable way to have an enjoyable stay near all the sights of Acadia. The ability to do laundry during our trip was a big plus as well as 4 twin beds for 4 adults with room to spread out. Generally we spent time exploring Acadia and Bass Harbor but having the house allowed a day of relaxation and puzzle assembly for some while others spent more time hiking. Owners were fantastic!! Would stay again.

Quiet place in bass harbor. Close to a restaurant and Acadia park around 25 minutes away. Very spacious with lots of amenities.

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.

Nicely equipped and clean

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.

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.

It was a very clean and lovely house with plenty of space and a great view! If I were coming back to this area again, I would absolutely stay here again. Very friendly and well-prepared hosts who had a plethora of things you could do on the island written out for you

Great view of the harbor. The unit was clean and functional.

The house was in a great location - close to Southwest Harbor, Seawall, all things Acadia National Park. The house has a well equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds and comfortable living room. However, it could use some tender loving care. Kitchen and baths are very “ vintage”. And we were blessed with cool nights so we did not need to use the fans in the home. They are all in need of a good cleaning. Would have liked a new sponge in the kitchen and travel sizes of shampoo and conditioner instead of large sizes. It’s a great little spot. The quiet side of the island for sure. Lots of deer in the yard at dusk.

The home was superb. My wife and I loved the spaciousness of the kitchen and dining room area. We also truly loved having all the normal things we would use at home (colander, different utensils, alum foil, etc) available. It truly felt like home. My wife especially loved the deck outside the living room for morning coffee or tea with the view of the harbor. As no one else was staying next door she was able to move the deck chairs further down the front lawn for some gorgeous sun and peace. We also loved how dark it was at night with little light pollution to see the stars. The home is close to everything we needed. We truly enjoyed it and would love to come back in the future.

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.

This home was perfect! We truly loved the views and the location! There were just a slight issue at check in but the host was quick to respond and solve the problem. Our 2 night stay couldn’t have been better!

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.

Our family absolutely loved our visit at this home! We loved how quiet the little harbor area was, despite how busy the island was for the 4th of July holiday, and the quaint old home gave great authentic Maine vibes. Host information was helpful, and they were attentive when we needed to contact them.

First - MAKE SURE you put in the correct address! There is more than one Shore Rd on Mt Desert Island and we accidentally went to the wrong home - awkward! The Bass Harbor location worked well for us and the home’s beds worked. We had two kids in one room, and a kid + adult in the second room. My husband slept on the sleeper sofa and the baby was in his pack n play. We have a larger family so we adapted! We appreciated that the owners gave us some directions on their favorite things to see. Acadia was great! Wear bug spray.

Wonderful experience staying right on the harbor! We were in the area during the busy 4th of July time and loved visiting Acadia and Bar Harbor. The best part was coming back to our quiet hideaway to rest up for our next day of exploring. There was an issue with our heat that was taken care of immediately. HIGHLY recommend this spot--oh, and be sure to check out Echo Lake, which is super close.

This lovely spot in Bass Harbor was perfect! It was not only a beautiful home, but so convenient to the lighthouse and the Ships Harbor hike, and the Island Explorer bus to Bar Harbor/Acadia. We made the mistake of driving into Bar Harbor for a "quick lunch" and quickly discovered that parking was impossible. After we took advantage of the free bus, all of our trips to Bar Harbor (for a whale watch) and Acadia (for a hike at Bee Hive), we had no issues. Plus, the Ketch across the street was delicious!

Our family had a great visit to Mt. Desert Island, staying across the street from a wonderful boat cruise and delicious restaurant. The nearby Seal Cove Auto Museum was also a must see. The house was exactly as marketed and perfect for our stay.Thank you!

This place was perfect for our two nights stay near Acadia. It’s about a 35 minute drive during the busiest week of the year. Our favorite restaurant was Thurston’s lobster pound across the harbor. And we really enjoyed a nature cruise around the corner with bassharborcruises.com

Had a 1 night stay with our family. Enjoyed the rustic feel of this. Good price and great location. Easy walk to Seafood Ketch restaurant.
