We absolutely loved this house in Bass Harbor. We were there with our daughter, son-in-law and 3-year old granddaughter. Our granddaughter loved the double bunk bed room and loved climbing the ladders (with supervision). The kitchen is extremely well equipped. The adjacent dining room is large and convenient. We loved the transitions between the rooms with half walls and white painted woodwork. We spent time on the front porch and back deck. We had great weather while we were there and enjoyed sleeping with open windows. All 5 of us agreed that when we come back to Mount Desert Island, we’d like to stay here again.

Very friendly and cozy!

The property is beautiful! Maria was very accommodating and communicative. The house is situated in a cozy spot in the woods but is within minutes of the ocean. When we come to Acadia we will be renting from her again!

This house was perfect for our family. My parents, my siblings, my wife, and my two toddlers loved the house. It is in a great location, a short drive to Acadia. The property is secluded and quiet, yet close enough to do quick day trips. The host provides an abundance of things for all ages. There are books, puzzles, toys, and games. My kids were always entertained. The host was very easy to work with and the description was best accurate. This house truly felt like a home away from home!

We had a great stay at Maria’s house. She was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The house is very cozy and warm. We also love the quietness of the location and only a half hour drive to Bar Harbor, about 20 minutes to Cadillac Mountain and 15 minutes to Bass Harbor Lighthouse.The kitchen is well stocked with almost everything you need to cook or grill. My 2 mini schnauzers love the yard and surrounding woods. It’s like staying in an enchanted forest with a harbor nearby. We will stay there again when we’re in the area. Highly recommended!

Wedding week

We stayed at Maria’s house for our elopement wedding weekend with our family and friends. It was absolutely perfect! Much bigger than the pictures make it seem. Very clean, comfy and homey. The kitchen is completely stocked to cook full meals and they even had a high chair for our little guy. Very quiet neighborhood, ample parking. We couldn’t have asked for a better home for our week in MDI, we will definitely be back!

ALL THE COMFORTS OF HOME

We've rented homes in Maine over the past 20+ years and found this home to be a top contender! This home is very nicely furnished, extremely clean, & well supplied ( like a home away from home)!! We couldn't have found a nicer place to stay on Mount Desert Island. It is located on the quieter side of the island which we enjoyed, and sits on a wooded lot located on a quiet street. The home owners are extremely responsive to any questions or concerns one might have. We felt very comfortable & safe living here for the week and enjoyed our stay. Would rent from Maria again & again....

Don't hesitate

I've been going to Acadia once or twice a year for twenty years. This was by far the nicest place we've stayed - plenty of room for kids and grandparent, as well as great access to our favorite places. The kitchen was easy to work in. The kids loved the puzzles when it rained. The neighborhood was quiet enough for the kids to ride their bikes. The yard was perfect for a game of catch when the kids needed some slow paced at home time. Overall, I'm looking forward to next year.

Wonderful stay on the quiet side of MDI

We had a wonderful weeklong stay with members of our extended family. The house and property is beautiful, well maintained and clean. Kitchen is fully stocked with all items necessary to cook. Plenty of games, books, and some puzzles to keep people entertained at the house. The hosts have provided detailed check-in information on how to find the house, along with a book detailing check out and other important information pertaining to the rental. One thing to note, which the host mentioned they plan to make note of for future renters, is that the master shower can take a little bit to heat up on the first day. When I reached out about this they were very prompt in their response. We enjoyed everything about our stay here.

Perfect Family Getaway in Beautiful Bass Harbor!We had the most amazing stay at this lovely home in Bass Harbor! We were two families traveling together, with kids ranging in age from 8 to 15, and this house could not have been more perfect for us.From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The house was immaculately clean, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. It had that perfect mix of cozy charm and modern convenience. Every room was thoughtfully furnished and inviting, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out, relax, and enjoy.The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need! We cooked several meals at home and appreciated how easy and enjoyable it was to do so. The living areas were perfect for games, movie nights, and unwinding after long days exploring Acadia and the surrounding area.The location was ideal—quiet, peaceful, and just a short drive to all the sights and trails we wanted to explore. Coming back to this house after a day of adventure truly felt like coming home.We made wonderful memories here—morning coffees on the deck, shared dinners around the table, laughter echoing through the house—and we’re so grateful for the time we spent in this special place.Highly recommend to any families or groups looking for a comfortable, well-equipped, and welcoming home. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you Maria!

Fantastic vacation home for a family.

Very nice home with an open concept. It was perfect for us. It had everything we needed and more. I traveled with my adult daughter, son-in-law, 13 month old granddaughter and adult son. We each had our own bedroom. The owner supplied us with a high chair and toys for our granddaughter. We all had a great time! Would definitely stay at this home again the next time we return to Acadia National Park. HIghly, highly recommend staying here!!! A family trip we will never forget!

Spacious and comfortable in an ideal location

We loved our stay and can’t wait to return. The location is magical and quiet, both on the street and the location on MDI. The house has a cozy warm feel with tons of space. It was very clean and bright and was perfect for our annual Acadia getaway.
