Map & Owner's Profile
Newly Furnished Water View Rental 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 minute's 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 Single Family Home
It's on a wonderfully quiet residential street, but only a one 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!
