Treetop retreat with access to kayaks and rowboat near Acadia National Park

Check out the new video of The Treehouse at the end of the photo gallery! It gives you a much better feel for the property, quiet location plus it shows the close proximity to the water's edge and dock. The Treehouse is a second story 2 bedroom apartment, 28x32. It has a full bath w/ tub/shower combination, a heat pump with electric heat and cooling, a range and refrigerator. There is a washer and dryer on the ground floor as well as a second bathroom, accessible from the outside of building. These spaces are provided as additional amenities for tenants and shared with the cleaners and groundskeeper. The spacious living area has a vaulted ceiling and opens onto a deck through sliding glass doors. A gas grill is provided. The shore of Bass Harbor is just a short stroll down the driveway where there is a shared dock with two other cottages, a row boat and kayaks for our tenants use.
From this cozy space in an authentic fishing village visit Acadia National Park, Somes Sound(the only fjord on the east coast) and lots of shops, museums, and galleries in our 3 island towns. Countless artists and artisans are drawn to the region by its natural beauty. Out door adventures abound in this rugged landscape. Boat cruises, hiking, biking, and sea kayaking will reward you with spectacular scenery and views of wildlife.

Couple Getaway
My husband & I loved staying at this treehouse location. It was the perfect size, equipped with all we needed for our stay. It was about 30 min from everything we wanted to do while visiting Acadia. If we hadn’t stayed here, and opted for Bar Harbor, we would never have seen this part of the area. Plus, the kayaks were a fun activity. Would stay again!

Beautiful tree house
We enjoyed staying and working at the Tree House. We kayaked each morning in Bass Harbor and went on more adventures in the afternoon. Tha location was perfect quiet and accessible to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The tree house was clean and very comfortable.

Treetop charm
A very charming, bright and cheery space. We enjoyed the quietside location away from the hustle but close enough to Acadia park. The views from the dock were beautiful. We had a relaxing stay. The host was very responsive in helping us with our needs.

Great cottage in the quiet corner of Acadia
This cottage is charming and comfy. It has everything you need, plenty of bedding, kitchen wares, towels, etc. The deck and patio set are great. The trees grew up taking away a potential view of the bay, but the trees do give the treehouse feel and privacy. We used the kayaks, dock, and garden areas quite a lot. The tide is very dramatic and the bay empties out, it will take a day or so to get used to that. The location is tranquil and out of the way, but there are quality restaurants and convenience stores within a mile or two. Just a couple of things, not a complaint, but informative, there is not a dishwasher so pack paper goods if you're staying as a family. Also, there is a long staircase up to the cottage. The steps are fine and there are handrails, but anyone in the party staying there needs to understand that you'll be doing these stairs to come and go, take out the trash, and do laundry, so you'll be doing them often. If we return to Acadia we will definitely consider this cottage again!

Nice place on the quieter side of Acadia
We really enjoyed our time in Acadia - this is a great location for the quieter part of Acadia, which we enjoyed a lot. Loved being able to take the kayaks and rowboat out on the water.

Perfect for a family
Very lovely quiet cottage. Only about 25 minutes from Acadia. It was perfect for our family of 4. I would definitely come back! Water craft availability was a nice touch! Thanks!
