Map & Owner's Profile
Newly Furnished Home in Bass Harbor Maine
Year Purchased: 2009
Why the Owner Chose Bass Harbor
Bass Harbor is the absolute idyllic spot when we think of Maine Coast. Not touristy like Bar Harbor, but close enough - about 15 miles. This is a quaint fishing village and Tall Pines Cottage is just a 2 minute walk to the harbor. Beautiful views to the west of the Western Mountains toward Bernard are an amazing backdrop for the harbor.
The Unique Benefits at this House
It's on a wonderfully quiet residential street, but only a 2 minute walk down to the harbor. In Bass Harbor (in walking distance) there are two restaurants, a working lobster pier, an antique store, ferry terminal to Swan's Island, a shuttle bus stop (the free Island Explorer shuttle) and close by is the Bass Head Lighthouse and some nature trails.
A gorgeous area with wide open ocean and lots of big rocks to sit on and enjoy the scenery

We visited the area from out of state for many years and just decided to buy a place we could call home during our summer visits!

What a wonderful place to stay!

My husband, I, and four children (ages 10, 9, 7, & 4) stayed at the Tall Pines Cottage in Bass Harbor Maine last week. The house was perfect! It had everything we would need (including the basic paper towels, toilet paper, sponges, dish detergent, etc.). There was a large walk in closet and master bath connected to the master bedroom. The decor was comfortable with a seaside feel. The kids were very excited because they saw a deer in the backyard their first morning! The house was impeccable in every way. We had never been up there and was originally concerned re: the location from Bass Harbor to Acadia but did not find it to be a problem at all. It was a beautiful house to come home to. I highly recommend it!

TALL PINES COTTAGE

I rented this cottage last year and liked it so much that I knew this was the place I wanted to vacation again for the fall foliage. The house is beautifully furnished and very very clean. This is important to me since so many vacation homes have odd smells and dirty furniture. Every single extra is included such as contact information, restaurant info, a landline phone, a little office/room with a desk for your computer. etc. My personal favorite was the sitting room on the second floor which allows great views and is a really relaxing place to just sit and read. The house is perfectly located on a residential street which is just far enough from the main road to be private but still close enough to get to Southwest Harbor and the shops and restaurants in mere minutes. By far this is the best vacation home I have stayed at (and I have rented lots!) in the entire Acadia region. Many thanks to the wonderful property managers for making this the perfect getaway!

Outstanding Vacation Home

We highly recommend this home to anyone that is looking for a quality vacation rental on Mount Desert Island. The house is spotless and the decorations and amenities were fantastic and just like home. The rooms were all spacious and bright. The rear 3 season porch was great to sit on in the eveing after a day of hiking and biking. Location is a stones throw from Bass Harbor and the drive was easy to anywhere on the island. The owners were excellent to work with and I would highly recommend this to anyone. When we travel we always look for rental homes and this one is by far one of the best we have encountered.
