About this property
Tides cottage on quiet tidal inlet with kayaks and fire pit
TIDES COTTAGE WILL NOW HAVE 3 BEDROOMS AND 3 BATHROOMS! We have added a master bedroom with private bath at the back of the cottage with the twin bedroom now having it’s own private bathroom! Pictures will be added when the renovations are complete in Mid May. Be sure to watch the video at the end of the photo gallery to see the true setting of the Tides Cottage. Tides Cottage is a waterfront gem located 3 miles to down town Southwest Harbor on the quiet side of MDI. There are several entrances to Acadia nearby, Seawall, Wonderland and Ship Harbor to name a few. Our Cottage has a heat pump providing electric heat or cooling on those hotter days. There is a wood burning stove and wood is provided. The vaulted ceilings, white washed pine walls and a glass front make the living area very spacious, and the perfect place to watch the changing of the tides. Newly remodeled kitchen with quartz countertops. Bedding and towels are provided. We are on the western side of Mount Desert Island, home of Acadia National Park. There is a shared dock with two other cottages, row boat, and kayak at the water's edge for use of our guests. Tides has a gas grill, picnic table, and container fire pit in a private yard. The ocean facing deck offers additional seating. Tides is relaxing retreat at the end of the day and the perfect jumping off point for exploring all that our beautiful Island has to offer

About the area
Bass Harbor
Located in Bass Harbor, this cottage is on the waterfront. Atlantic Brewing Company and Bubble Rock are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those looking for area attractions can visit George B. Dorr Museum of Natural History and College of the Atlantic Natural History Museum. Bar Harbor Whale Watching and Naturalist's Notebook are also worth visiting. Make sure you get close to the area's animals with activities such as game walks and birdwatching.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Stacy Just
We purchased 2.5 acres on Bass Harbor in 1974 and built our home and the cottages in the following years adding upgrades and renovations almost yearly. We are native to Mount Desert Island, have 2 grown children and 4 almost grown grandchildren. We enjoy boating the Maine coast, kayaking the local waters and walking the trails of Acadia.
Why they chose this property
This cottage is all wood, no smelly carpets, is located right at the water's edge on Mill Creek off Bass Harbor and is only 3 miles to down town Southwest Harbor and 25 minutes to down town Bar Harbor. Entrances to Acadia are all around us.
What makes this property unique
Sitting in the swing at the water's edge with morning coffee and again at the end of the day is a peaceful start and ending to every day. The white washed vaulted ceilings and glass front gives the combined living/kitchen a spacious feel and perfect spot for bird watching with our binoculars. Each bedroom will have its own private bath with completion of renovations in May for added privacy for all guests!
