This property is excellent for families to share. Every aspect has been detailed out very well including the hike sticks in the front (which our family thought was very thoughtful!). The only thing is the bathroom in the attic suits kids more than adults which means you need to plan your showers accordingly. The host is a pleasure to work with and has put very nice reminders across the property.(Take trash on a specific day near the kitchen trash for example or a reminder to keep shower curtains inside the bath tub etc. in the right area). Lastly there were so many books / material that was available inside the property about Acadia parks which we could use as well! In short, this is how you run a property where families come together and enjoy. Thank you for being such a great host!

We loved our stay at Bobbie’s place in bass harbor! We stayed with a family of 9 ranging from 10-70 in age. We all had so much fun, and felt very comfortable. The kids (10-18) all loved staying together in the attic. It was their own little space with their own bathroom up there. They also had a lovely view of the harbor from their windows. We were worried it would be hot, but with the windows open and fan, they all slept great! I loved the nice, big bathroom on the second floor with lots of natural light. The view from the lawn and family room were wonderful. It was so nice walking downstairs to that every morning. We enjoyed many family game nights. Having the shuttle to bar harbor pick up right next door was very convenient. It was quick and efficient, and nice to avoid the hassle of parking. It’s also a short drive to Acadia mountain trail and echo lake (so beautiful and warm). We were all sad to leave, and would love to stay here again if we make it back up to Maine again!

This is a perfect place for a large family to have space and enjoy each other’s company. It’s near enough to easily visit Southwest Harbor, Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, etc., yet off the beaten path. It is such a quaint cottage and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. I hope we’ll have the opportunity to visit again!

Fantastic stay

We had a wonderful time staying at The Harbor View Cottage. The property is spacious, comfortable, and perfectly suited the needs of our group of 9 adults. The view of the harbor is stunning, especially at sunset. The host was very responsive and provided great recommendations of things to do in the area. We highly recommend!

Bass Harbor Home

We enjoyed a lovely stay at the Bass Harbor home. The home was able to accommodate 8 adults nicely. While we mostly spent our time in Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, we did enjoy a nice dinner in the surrounding area and especially enjoyed an early morning walk to Bass Harbor Lighthouse for the sunrise.
