You will enjoy phenomenal sunsets, literally at the water's edge when the high Bass Harbor tide laps at the shore beneath your newly refurbished (and spectacular) deck. Gentle waves will lull you to sleep as if on a boat. This quaint 'camp' has everything, at close quarters, overlooking the working Maine lobster community at the scenic southwest corner of Mount Desert Island. MDI is of course home to Acadia National Park where trails, hikes, kayaking, mountains and more abound, and the Island Explorer bus goes right past your front door, easing access to all Acadia has to offer.

The back yard and beach may be shared with guests (or us) in the (larger) house up the hill from the cottage, but the cottage and deck are nicely private for your stay.
That said, we are available by phone, if not in person, 24/7, and are ready to help you solve any question or issue that might arise.
Other things to noteCottage is available Friday to Friday; this is our strong preference due to cleaning & restaging professionals' availability
