We arrived in Bass Harbor to find a small, comfortable and very clean cottage awaiting. Perfect for a couple or small family with not only all necessary appurtenances, but also a lovely view of the harbor. Although the beds were comfortable, we were content to fall asleep in the living room while gazing across the water. Although we've vacationed in Acadia on and off for over thirty years, this is the first time we were so satisfied that we never bothered to venture off the Quiet Side into Bar Harbor. Indeed, we didn't want to leave at all. Two Restaurants, The Seaside Catch and Mainly Delights are only a five minute walk from the cottage, and across the harbor one can almost always find a table at Thurston's. If you're bringing a dog, or as in our case three, the grounds are more than sufficient and there is a grassy dog kennel in the back. We intend to return every year until retirement, at which time we hope to settle in the area.
