We loved our stay at the Elvin’s chalet. The chalet was impeccably clean, tastefully decorated, and beautifully situated on the water. The kitchen was well-supplied for cooking, which was convenient. And Bass Harbor is quiet and peaceful—quite the contrast to Bar Harbor. We were looking for some place cozy and relaxing, and that’s exactly what we found. We would definitely stay here again.

Clean, well stocked chalet in a beautiful setting. Furniture is a little dated but overall a very nice place to stay on the “quiet side” of Mount Desert Island.

Elvin's Chalet was very cozy and extremely clean. The Elvins leave a very detailed binder that includes all the information you need to fill your days with hikes, activities and great food all around Mt. Desert Island. I really appreciated speaking with Mr. Elvin prior to our stay and receiving information and directions well ahead of our trip to Maine. We had a GREAT vacation!

This chalet on the bay felt like home. After a busy day of touring the beautiful sights around Bar Harbor and Desert Island, it was so nice to come home to a calm peaceful home and area. The owners were quick to answer any questions we may have about our vacation in the area. Loved it!

The chalet was clean, comfortable, and had a really homey feel from the moment we walked in. The furniture was soft and inviting, and the shower was excellent — one of those small things that makes a stay feel extra relaxing. The location and water view were the highlight. Waking up to the water never got old, and the whole setting made it easy to unwind. We would definitely stay again and would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable waterfront getaway.

This home is located on the quiet side of the island providing a very private and relaxing atmosphere and a great place to launch your exploration of the other areas of the Mount Desert Island. Warren and Judy have maintained their family's MDI home with meticulous care. Another hidden gem is all of the information they have complied in the form of written descriptions as well as maps, books, and brochures. One outstanding example was a book that we found in living room entitled, 'Time and Tides in Acadia'.We would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone who is considering a visit to MDI and wants to appreciate the authentic richness and history of the Tremont area / the quiet side.Thanks again to Warren, Judy and their family

Lovely and peaceful home

This chalet is adorable, right on the water! So peaceful, comfy beds, and perfectly located for Acadia. Warren was so nice, and we loved staying in their family home. You can tell it's a special place to them, and we're so glad we got to experience it.

Highly recommended. Great location, far away enough from the crowds elsewhere on the island, but still close to a few dining options and a few shops. The owners of this chalet really went out of their way to make sure that we were comfortable and pleased with our stay. Very pleased we chose to stay in their accommodations.

What a magnificent location on Bass Harbor. This location is just what we were looking for - quiet! We were able to kayak right of the property during high tide. The Chalet was clean and well equipped. The host answered any question promptly.

The property was as described and very clean. Very peaceful and a terrific view. I would say the location is mostly private (construction/ near by house). This house overall is very comfortable and felt like a 2nd home to me. The deck has terrific views of the harbor and the location is very near to Acadia.

Acadia vacation

We had a wonderful week in Acadia and loved staying at the chalet on the quiet side of the island. It was the perfect home base for our day trips around Acadia, and we enjoyed watching the harbor and the tide come and go from the deck. The house was very comfortable for a family of four.

Great location

Great location, near Acadia but away from the crowds. Nice views, that change dramatically with the tide. The chalet has all you need, and was clean and comfortable. Communication from the host was good as well.
