About the host
Hosted by Stacy Just
We purchased 2.5 acres on Bass Harbor in 1974 and built our home and the cottages in the following years adding upgrades and renovations almost yearly. We are native to Mount Desert Island, have 2 grown children and 4 almost grown grandchildren. We enjoy boating the Maine coast, kayaking the local waters and walking the trails of Acadia.
Why they chose this property
This cottage is all wood, no smelly carpets, is located right at the water's edge on Mill Creek off Bass Harbor and is only 3 miles to down town Southwest Harbor and 25 minutes to down town Bar Harbor. Entrances to Acadia are all around us.
What makes this property unique
Sitting in the swing at the water's edge with morning coffee and again at the end of the day is a peaceful start and ending to every day. The white washed vaulted ceilings and glass front gives the combined living/kitchen a spacious feel and perfect spot for bird watching with our binoculars. Each bedroom will have its own private bath with completion of renovations in May for added privacy for all guests!
