Great Stay

Guest: carol (alloway)
Date of Stay: 10/01/11 Review Submitted: 10/11/11

I stayed at the Bass Harbor house last week. It rained the entire time, but the place was lovely. My husband, my parents (77 years young and I didn’t let the rain stop us). We shopped in Bar Harbor, ate more lobster than I knew possible. Took a ferry ride, went to Acadia Park and were close to everything. It was like our own little oases. I would recommend this place to anyone. Art, Carol, Norm and Marge South Jersey

Owner response:Carol and her family treated and cared for our house as it were their own. They are welcome back any time to our Bass Harbor House or any other properties!

Delightful Bass Harbor Retreat

Guest: Timothy S. (Portland, Maine)
Date of Stay: 07/02/11 Review Submitted: 07/12/11

I've rented many houses/apartments/condos over the years, but this house was truly the best of them all, something that the pictures can't fully convey. It's a startling case of the reality transcending the pitch. The owners anticipate literally everything that you might want, and the house itself is wonderfully comfortable. You'll bliss out in the screened arbor, surrounded by a lovely garden. When you tear yourself away to go back indoors, you'll fantasize yourself at home, if you lived with no clutter and tastefully appointed furniture in every room. Cooking was a delight in a kitchen with beautiful marble countertops and high-end appliances. The master bedroom bed has one of those independently adjustable matresses for couples with different firmness preferences. What can I say, you'll have trouble tearing yourself away on the final morning. Bass Harbor itself is one of the best, most authentically Maine villages on Mount Desert Island, with good local restaurants and the more varied offerings of Southwest Harbor only minutes away. I'm already making plans to return.

Peaceful, private and close to everything.

Guest: Mark & Peggy, North Carolina (Bar Harbor, Maine)
Date of Stay: 09/09/09 Review Submitted: 09/21/10

Kindred spirits live here - your Mexican tile was in our first Florida house - Mark said we've had every one of these colors in our homes - the woodstove was a test run for us - we'll buy one for our mountain home in NC...better than expected. Peaceful, private and close to everything. KUDOS to you both!

Thank you very much for sharing your comfortable house with us. We had a great week here on MDI and felt at home each night. This is a beautiful spot to relax and enjoy nature. We watched a deer behind the house and listened to the birds. We look forward to meeting you both on our next visit.

Cottage was welcoming the moment we walked in

Guest: The Hay Family, Cranford NJ (Bar Harbor, Maine)
Date of Stay: 07/30/10 Review Submitted: 09/21/10

Your beautiful cottage was welcoming the moment that we walked in and every day after that. We enjoyed all of the artwork and your interior design talents. The kitchen was great...we love to cook...especially our fresh caught fish and the great Maine lobster. We love Acadia!!! It is so relaxing and refreshing after dealing with a hot summer in NYC. See ya next year. Thanks again for a great week!

We enjoyed our stay in your charming cottage. The wine & flowers were a nice touch. Our kids loved the yard to run around in and all Maine has to offer. We hope to come back soon.

Exquisitely furnished & well-equipped. Your home helped us feel at home the moment we walked in the door. Your attention to detail, both in and outside the house made it a wonderful place to spend time. A quiet, cozy location really made it feel like a great getaway. Thanks so much!!!

Dinner, Movie & Hot Tub

Guest: Cammack Family - Waltham, MA (Bar Harbor, Maine)
Date of Stay: 07/24/10 Review Submitted: 09/21/10

We have never rented a cottage before...this was a wonderful way to see Maine! We enjoyed movies and dinners (and the hot tub!) in the evenings together and loved all the sightseeing in Acadia NP during the day. We had a lovely time.
