Come and enjoy authentic cottage living at a fraction of Bar Harbor prices. This property has a front house, Harbor View Cottage (this listing), and a back house, Bass Harbor Hideaway, which are both available for summer rentals. The houses share a very thick common wall and have separate entrances from the driveway for privacy. Harbor View Cottage overlooks Bass Harbor, a scenic marina filled with lobster boats. The Cottage offers a view of the harbor from its lawn, living room and two of the bedrooms, including spectacular Maine sunsets. Harbor View Cottage is spacious, sunlit and comfortable--a quiet, elegant outpost from which to enjoy all that Mt. Desert Island and Acadia have to offer. It features: • Three bedrooms, plus a finished attic living space. The bedrooms include one with 2 twin beds, a second with 2 twin beds, and a third with 1 king-size bed. Two of the bedrooms overlook Bass Harbor. There are also 4 additional twin beds in the attic. • There is a full bath on the second floor, and an additional shower/sink/toilet in the finished attic. • Living room, dining room, eat-in kitchen (full-size appliances). • Linens and towels are included. • Washer/dryer and charcoal grill are provided. • Expansive front yard with plenty of room for kids to run around and explore. Yard includes a fire pit for roasting marshmallows. • 1 mile from Bass Harbor Head Light. • 12-minute drive to the nearest Acadia National Park destinations. • 10-minute drive to shops & restaurants of Southwest Harbor. • Minutes to Echo Lake, hiking trails, swimming, tennis, boating, golf & fishing. • Free island shuttle to Bar Harbor and other points of interest. Shuttle stops every hour on the hour, and picks up near the base of the driveway. • High-speed broadband WIFI at speeds of 300 Mbps downloads / 10 Mbps uploads (typically fast enough to stream). Performance may vary based on the number of devices being used. • Note: AT&T cell phone service works well in Bass Harbor, but Verizon and T-Mobile offer spotty service. If you have Verizon or T-Mobile, you may want to make park and other reservations ahead of time. Got a Large Group? The back house, "Bass Harbor Hideaway," sleeps 4-6 people. For groups of up to 16, you may want to consider renting both houses. \*\*We are following our routine cleanings between tenants with EPA-registered disinfectants to kill germs on high-touch surfaces such as kitchen counters, appliances, doorknobs, cabinet knobs, light switches, faucets, toilet handles and television remote controls. We also air out the house between renters.\*\* Keywords: #Acadia #islandliving #harborviewcottage #MtDesertIsland #MaineVacation #southwestharbor #quietside ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet -
