About this property
Downstairs APT, pet-friendly, firepit, close to ACADIA & Bass Harbor Lighthouse!
Welcome to Bass Harbor Hideaway!
All new appliances, mattresses, linens, furnishings, and a comfortable layout add up to a great spot from which to enjoy your Acadia vacation. Spit spot clean and, despite its lower-level location, is bright and sunny with plenty of personal touches to make it feel cozy. Several favorite eateries are near this home, including Archie's Lobster for a fresh Maine Lobster, only steps away or take the ferry to Swan's Island for a fun day adventure! Hiking in nearby Acadia National Park.
FIRST FLOOR: Enter through a private entry and step down to the lower level. To the left, a large, comfortable living space with a large screened TV, recliners, and a table that comfortably seats four. A newly re-done Kitchen features all new appliances, a washer-dryer, and plenty of counter space for meal prep. Step up to the small but serviceable Full Bath with a walk-in custom-tiled shower. Two Bedrooms, one with a Queen and one with a Double Bed, are cozy and bright. Worries about the lack of AC? Not an issue - given its lower-level situation, this space is quite cool in the summer, and additional fans will ensure your comfort when required.
OUTDOOR SPACES: Shared yard space with a homemade fire pit (extra points if you can guess what the fire pit was made from!), picnic table, and chairs for relaxing and stargazing: off-street parking, and plenty of natural green fencing to shield you from neighboring properties.

This was a beautiful place, close to the Bass Harbor Lighthouse and an easy drive to all of the island. The owner of the place is friendly and available if needed. We loved our stay and would stay again
We loved our stay at Bass Harbor Hideaway. Paula was kind and helpful and gave us the recommendation to try Archie’s, just down the road, and we loved it. We enjoyed staying on the Southwest Harbor and found great restaurants and hikes that were not so crowded as Bar Harbor. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
We loved our stay. The house was clean and the kitchen was equipped with everything you need (minus a dishwasher) to cook. They also have a washer and dryer. Close to many trails in Acadia and 30 minutes to Bar Harbor. Would gladly stay here again.
Quiet little place to relax after a busy day of siteseeing the surrounding areas. It is not too far from many of the popular attractions. It had everything we needed for a great stay.
The cottage was clean, in great order, and had everything we needed. It's in a very quiet location, which is just what we were looking for. It's walking distance to the local lobster pound, ice cream joint, and general store. Would happily stay here again!

Love this place. Great location. Extremely clean and just as shown in the listing. Easy check out and check in. Friendly and responsive host. Shower is not for tall people but they made the best use of the space they had. Would 100% stay here again.
We enjoyed staying on the quiet side of the park. There was still plenty of hikes & sights to see close by and just a short drive to the busy side of the park which we did as well. We enjoyed the accommodations at Paula’s Bar Harbor Hideaway. Paula was very accommodating and helpful with suggestions of things we like to do.

A nice, clean spot on the quiet side of the island, which is our favorite. Everything was as advertised and everything was in good working order. Would stay again if the opportunity comes up.

Kind regards,

Nice and very clean home. Perfect for our trip. Easy to travel to Acadia and Bar Harbor by car. Quiet space in Bass Harbor that also has some beautiful hiking nearby as well. Comfortable for space for our dog. Would recommend to other travelers looking to spend most of the time hiking

Beautiful space, immaculately clean, comfortable beds, lots of cozy extra blankets. This space had everything we needed, including clear communication from the host about things to be mindful of during Maine’s current drought. We weren’t able to use the fire pit because of that, which is very understandable! We loved being on the “quiet side” of the island and recommend that visitors check out Sail Acadia, only five minutes away, for a wonderful boat tour of the harbors!

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the clean, comfortable space and the peaceful “quiet side” of the island. We appreciate your understanding about the drought restrictions and are happy to hear communication was clear. Wonderful tip about Sail Acadia, too! We’d love to host you again.
Kind regards,
Marla and the team
Staying at this property was as expected. Great price, close to a few restaurants and hiking trails. It’s a bit further than we realized from some of the main Acadia attractions, however was a short drive about 20 minutes or so. The owner was available, but kept to herself. It was nice to know she was nearby in case we needed anything. It was a great stay and we recommend it!

Thank you for your 5-star review! We're glad to know you had a positive experience with the owner and accommodations at Bass Harbor Hideaway. Your feedback is invaluable to us.

The apartment was clean, quiet, well equipped. The Acadia national park is magnificent and reasonably close. That said I would strongly caution any “ large “ folks or anyone with mobility issues to understand that the stairs going down into the apartment are very tight as the inward opening door takes up the landing before you can reach the bannister.

Albert,
Thank you for your review and comments. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed Acadia and found the apartment to be clean, well-equipped and quiet!
All the best,
Marla J.
The property is obviously relatively new, and therefore very clean and modern. The kitchen and bathroom were very well stocked, the bed was very comfortable (despite the noisy mattress pad). Very handy to have a washer and dryer on site. The owner and upstairs resident was more than nice and accommodating. Would highly recommend if you want peace and quiet after a day of hiking the Park.

Tom,
Thank you for your nice review and feedback! Very nice to know that you found the accommodations pleasant and quiet.
Respectfully,
Marla J.
We stayed here while visiting Acadia National Park and it was absolutely perfect. Upon arrival the host met us and gave us a warm welcome. The spot was private and didn’t feel like our privacy was compromised. It took us about 25 minutes to get to Bar Harbor/ the national park. However, we were only 5 minutes from the famous Bass Harbor Lighthouse.
The host was very thoughtful and provided everything we needed for our stay down to body wash. Just note you want to bring your own drinking water as there is no filtered water here.
Overall we had an amazing stay and would highly recommend Marla’s place!
