About this house rental

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).

We had a great stay at Maria’s house. She was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The house is very cozy and warm. We also love the quietness of the location and only a half hour drive to Bar Harbor, about 20 minutes to Cadillac Mountain and 15 minutes to Bass Harbor Lighthouse.The kitchen is well stocked with almost everything you need to cook or grill. My 2 mini schnauzers love the yard and surrounding woods. It’s like staying in an enchanted forest with a harbor nearby. We will stay there again when we’re in the area. Highly recommended!

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.
