We had a wonderful stay! The property had everything we needed and more. Everything felt like new and was very clean. The outdoor seating area was especially lovely and perfect for relaxing. A few items were not operational, but they did not impact our stay at all. Overall, a great experience – we would happily stay here again.

Check in was very easy. The house was beautiful and had plenty of room for us. We didn’t realize until the second day that the Bass Harbor Head lighthouse was right down the road. We had to check it out the morning we checked out. Checking out was also easy.

The location on the “quiet side” was great. There’s a corner store within walking distance. The nearby town of Southwest Harbor has a few shops and restaurants. Definitely recommend Beal’s Lobster Pier for an unforgettable experience. Echo Lake is a short drive away, and a great place for a swim. The kitchen was well equipped. Plenty of towels, pillows, etc. The house was cozy and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Why they chose this property

Traveled to Maine with my children and friends! Started vacationing in Maine 20 years ago. Came to Southwest Harbor to sail! Best friends have a large Hinckley sailboat. Maine is the best place for sailing. My favorite spot on the Island is Bass Harbor. Best sunsets on the island. Great access to the ocean and harbor. Being on the end of the Mount Desert Island is truly a magical experience.
