About this house rental
This historic home in the center of Bass Harbor village on Mount Desert Island has a front house, Harbor View Cottage, and a back house, Bass Harbor Hideaway (this listing), both of which are available for summer rentals.
Bass Harbor Hideaway is clean, sunlit and comfortable, and is across the street and up the hill from Bass Harbor, a scenic marina filled with lobster boats. The home is quiet and rustic, with somewhat dated decor (see photos), offering a country outpost from which to enjoy all that Mt. Desert Island and Acadia have to offer.
The rental features:
• Two-story gabled duplex, sleeps four upstairs in twin beds, plus two on a pull-out couch.
• Living room, eat-in kitchen (full-sized appliances).
• New kitchen counters, cooktop and sink.
• Two bedrooms on 2nd floor with two twin beds in each (linens and towels included), plus two full baths.
• Small deck with a distant view of Bass Harbor, which is about 300 feet away.
• Washer/dryer and charcoal grill are provided.
• Large front and side yards provide plenty of room for children to play and explore.
• 1 mile from Bass Harbor Head Light.
• 12-minute drive to Acadia National Park.
• 10-minute drive to shops & restaurants of Southwest Harbor.
• Minutes to Echo Lake, hiking trails, swimming, boating, golf, tennis & fishing.
• Free island shuttle to Bar Harbor and other points of interest. Shuttle stops every hour. Visit http://www.exploreacadia.com/route7.htm for the schedule.
• High-speed broadband WIFI at speeds of 300 Mbps downloads / 10 Mbps uploads (typically fast enough to stream). Performance may vary based on the number of devices being used.
• Note: AT&T cell phone service works well in Bass Harbor, but Verizon and T-Mobile offer only spotty service. If you have Verizon or T-Mobile, you may want to make park and other reservations ahead of time.
***A Note on Cleaning: We follow our routine cleaning between tenants with EPA-registered disinfectants to kill germs on commonly used surfaces such as kitchen counters, appliances, doorknobs, cabinet knobs, light switches, faucets, toilet handles and television remote controls.***

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!

6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2024
We just returned from vacationing in New England and stayed 3 different places. This was our least favorite place. The house felt old, tired, and in need of a fresh update. The heater blasted us with scorching air and it was so difficult to regulate that we had to open the windows. This was our happy surprise; the windows were operable so we could get relief from the runaway heat. Overall, I would say it was just okay.
