Located on the southwestern tip of Mount Desert Island, Bass Harbor is a charming and authentic Maine fishing village known for its scenic harbor, working lobster boats, and rugged coastal beauty. Unlike the busier towns on the island, Bass Harbor offers a quiet, laid-back atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a more off-the-beaten-path experience.

One of the area’s most iconic landmarks is the Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse, perched on a dramatic rocky coastline and offering one of the most photographed sunset views in Maine. The village is also home to some of the island’s freshest seafood, with local lobster shacks serving up the day’s catch straight from the harbor.

Outdoor enthusiasts can explore nearby trails in Acadia National Park, including Ship Harbor and Wonderland, both offering easy coastal walks with stunning ocean views. Bass Harbor is also the departure point for ferries to Swan’s Island and Frenchboro, perfect for adventurers looking to explore Maine’s offshore communities.

Happy with our stay and the property. A little smaller than we realized but okay for 4 people. Convenient location, easy access to Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mountain, trails.

Overall, the accommodations were newly updated, bright and clean. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with everything needed for the stay. My only suggestion would be to provide a couple of lawn chairs for outdoor seating. We had to move to kitchen chairs onto the small deck to enjoy the outdoors. I am sure future visitors will thoroughly enjoy the accommodations.

Beautiful views

Close to Bar Harbor, convenience store at end of road with everything you need even quick delicious meals. House was perfect for our family. Disappointed that the dock wasn’t out to be able to dip our feet and hang out on and have the choice to swim. It was part of the listing and reason why I booked it.

Adorable Cottage on the Waters Edge

We loved our stay! We were there 3 nights and had a great time. Kitchen is huge and has everything you need. Place was very clean, parking in front of your cottage. There are 3 of them at the end of this private road and i would say, Seaside is the newest one built. Only thing I can say is it is about 25 minutes from Acadia National Park and pretty much everything we did was in that location. I think i liked the fact we werent in the craziness of the town. We would definitely stay again!!!

Enjoyed our stay

Great location to kayak, see the sunset at the lighthouse and a short drive to access the park and Bar Harbor. The cabin was clean and quiet and had everything we needed.

Acadia on the "quiet side"

The location was amazing with a view of the harbor and a walk-down dock. It was quiet and peaceful and yet had easy access to Acadia and all of the trails. Tremont is a quaint, friendly township which we enjoyed visiting. We had deer visit us, seagulls, and a pair of bald eagles. The cottage was well equipped and very clean and we could envision renting all 3 cabins for a reunion.
