About this property

Treetop retreat with access to kayaks and rowboat near Acadia National Park

Check out the new video of The Treehouse at the end of the photo gallery! It gives you a much better feel for the property, quiet location plus it shows the close proximity to the water's edge and dock. The Treehouse is a second story 2 bedroom apartment, 28x32. It has a full bath w/ tub/shower combination, a heat pump with electric heat and cooling, a range and refrigerator. There is a washer and dryer on the ground floor as well as a second bathroom, accessible from the outside of building. These spaces are provided as additional amenities for tenants and shared with the cleaners and groundskeeper. The spacious living area has a vaulted ceiling and opens onto a deck through sliding glass doors. A gas grill is provided. The shore of Bass Harbor is just a short stroll down the driveway where there is a shared dock with two other cottages, a row boat and kayaks for our tenants use.
From this cozy space in an authentic fishing village visit Acadia National Park, Somes Sound(the only fjord on the east coast) and lots of shops, museums, and galleries in our 3 island towns. Countless artists and artisans are drawn to the region by its natural beauty. Out door adventures abound in this rugged landscape. Boat cruises, hiking, biking, and sea kayaking will reward you with spectacular scenery and views of wildlife.

Enjoyable stay

My partner and I were glad to stay here. We particularly enjoyed kayaking in the inlet that is at most a two minute walk from the property. About 30 minutes' drive from Bar Harbor where a lot of restaurants, shops, and some trails are, but quite close to other trails like Wonderland and a small town that is less crowded than Bar Harbor and has great food. Would happily stay here again!

Nice place to stay close to Acadia National Park in the quieter part of the island. A lot of nice restaurants close by. Treetop retreat was smaller than we expected but was plenty of room for our party of 4. It is a second story house so you must go up a set of stairs to access the house. Wasn’t bad except for when lugging heavy suitcases and coolers up. The beds were extremely comfortable. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed on our stay. Having access to the washer & dryer downstairs was a plus. We didn’t get time to enjoy the canoe & kayaks but love that it was an option. Host was very quick to answer questions. Thank you for sharing your vacation rental with us.

Nice place on the quieter side of Acadia

We really enjoyed our time in Acadia - this is a great location for the quieter part of Acadia, which we enjoyed a lot. Loved being able to take the kayaks and rowboat out on the water.

Great location for Bar Harbor and Acadia

We had a great time staying here and appreciated the nice accommodations for our family with three small kiddos. Great location for everything Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, but far enough off the beaten path that it feels secluded and away from the busyness that can surround both of those places. Would stay again.

Great stay, quieter side of MDI

We had a wonderful time over on the quiet side of MDI. Easy access to Southwest Harbor and Acadia. Easy to get to Bar Harbor but away from the crowds of people. Access to the dock and kayaks was a plus. Greatly enjoyed our stay!

A very charming, bright and cheery space. We enjoyed the quietside location away from the hustle but close enough to Acadia park. The views from the dock were beautiful. We had a relaxing stay. The host was very responsive in helping us with our needs.

Couple Getaway

My husband & I loved staying at this treehouse location. It was the perfect size, equipped with all we needed for our stay. It was about 30 min from everything we wanted to do while visiting Acadia. If we hadn’t stayed here, and opted for Bar Harbor, we would never have seen this part of the area. Plus, the kayaks were a fun activity. Would stay again!

Quite, Clean Stay in Bass Harbor

The property was the perfect spot for a family of four. There was plenty of space for all of us. The area was quiet and in a convenient location with the average drive to Acadia NP being around 30 minutes. There was also easy access to Southwest Harbor shops and restaurants. The kids also enjoyed the kayaks available for use down by the dock. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.

Perfect Maine Getaway!

The treehouse is a perfect summer spot. The photos do not do it justice; it is clean and tidy and the kitchen has every tool you could imagine needing (far from classic rental sparseness!). The location was perfect on Acadia's quiet-side, and the dock / kayak access was such a wonderful touch! Though it is a slight walk away from the house; the dock is not connected to the treehouse. Stacy was very responsive to all of our questions, within half an hour. I really have no complaints and would certainly recommend my friends stay here, or we stay here again!

Work/Hike from Anywhere Trip

Property was perfect for my first experience in Acadia. The area has a few other properties, but I didn't hear them even with the doorwall open to let in the fresh pine and floral smells from the outdoors. Had all the basics to cook, grill, and relax. Food, gas, and grocery were not too far either. Limited options being on this side of the Acadia, but it got me out of the house exploring more. The Wonderland and Ship Harbor trail are a 5 minute drive away to get your morning walk on and see the sunrise. The water levels were extremely low, so I didn't get to use the kayak amenity, but other than that it was a great retreat.
