Perfect Place for friends to gather

Our stay in Bass Harbor could not have gone any better. A beautiful large house that easily accommodated our 6 adults. The house is much larger than it appears in pictures, with all the amenities you will need. Our communications with Bob were excellent. Bob was a wealth of information on advising us things to do on our short stay. The only issue we had was the stay was too short!!! Thank you, Bob and Mary, for being such great hosts.

Bass Harbor Stay

Our stay was wonderful. House is as described, and area is so convenient to Bass Harbor activities. Most places in Acadia or Bar Harbor are within 30-40 minutes. Would definitely like to stay here again.

The Top VRBO Experience Yet

Communication with Bob, the property owner, was excellent and made the entire process extremely easy. The property was modern, clean and well stocked with anything you may need during your stay including equipment to cook lobster and seafood boils. The life safety features of the property to include well labeled emergency shut-offs, compliant smoke detection, and accessible fire extinguishers added peace of mind. Overall, an excellent experience!

Lovely Home!

We enjoyed this property so much! It was well stocked with everything we might need to make our stay comfortable. The owner was very responsive. A storm passed through just before check in and power/internet was out. Luckily everything was restored before check in but the owner, Bob, was proactive in letting us know so we could make plans for dinner etc. if needed. Close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Loved the deer greeting us every time we came back to house and when we woke in the morning. Highly recommend!

Acadia NP - Bass Harbor

An excellent stay for 7 adults. House was as described online. Bob was responsive and we took advantage of his supply of firewood. We also used one of his bikes for one of our several bike rides. The local Seafood Ketch restaurant was great for lunch and dinner. Cadillac Mountain was a highlight. Hikes were pretty much everywhere. Bar Harbor was extremely busy with parking difficult to find.

Thank you!

Bob and Mary were perfect. We appreciated the quick and accommodating responses that they provided. When we arrived at their lovely home, we couldn't help but notice the bottle of wine. We saved it for a delicious spaghetti dinner that my wife served a few nights later. The numerous and spacious rooms allowed our party of six with two pooches to easily fit. We would certainly like to return in the future!!! Thank you again, Bob and Mary!!!!

Family time together

Nice spot that was perfect for 8 adults. The kitchen and dinning room were the perfect layout of family dinners and cooking together. Bass Harbor is a nice little walk down the road and a great little working harbor. We had a great time.

Perfect place for our needs

Or stay was peaceful, the neighborhood is quiet and hard to see through the trees. Bass Harbor hasn’t changed much over the years compared to much of the island. The house is bigger than it looks in the photos and provided five of us with two dogs great accommodations for the long weekend. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Perfect Vacation

The property owner was very responsive and the home was comfortable and equipped with everything for a perfect stay. We loved Bass Harbor. There were sights and activities to take advantage of, but not touristy. The home's location provided quick and easy acces to Acadia NP. Our family of 5 ((plus a puppy) had plenty of room; the home was thoughtfully equipped with careful attention to details. We appreciated all the amenities (including the puppy) for a memorable visit. The hosts even provided a rack full of brochures describing things to do and places to see..... very thoughtful! We will plan to return!

Lovely home

Bob and Mary were very communicative and helpful. We thought the house was warm and comfortable for our entire family. One thing to mention is there is no air conditioning which was only an issue the first day. The rest of the stay the weather was cool so we were very comfortable. We are very thankful for all the information that was left for us, maps, hiking guides, fun things to do. Would recommend going to Peter trouts it was the best food! Thank you for everything :)

Summer trip

The house was nice and extremely well stocked. Nice pots/dishes/etc(especially the lobster pot and outside cooker). It was a nice secluded spot. The house isn’t flashy which makes it feel like a home away from home. Bob was an extremely good communicator and answered questions extremely promptly. He is definitely a super host. Note: if there is no wind the mosquitoes are very bad. This only happened the last day we were there. But there were bad everywhere we went that day. No reflection on the property just a heads up to bring bug spray.

A beautiful home close to the ocean

This is a beautiful home with all the amenities you could ask for. It was sparkling clean with plenty of room. The children especially enjoyed the downstairs with foosball table. The home is close to the ocean and we took a family nature boat cruise out of the harbor on a beautiful sunny afternoon. We would definitely stay her again.

An amazing house with fantastic hosts

We just returned from a long weekend spent in beautiful and scenic Bass Harbor, Maine. Our hosts, Bob and Mary could not have been more hospitable. They checked in without being obtrusive and their house is well-appointed with everything a guest could need. We were very comfortable there and everyone was happy. I highly recommend this house and these hosts.

Excellent stay for Acadia

We were looking for a place close to bar harbor as we were going to visit Acadia National park. This house was fantastic. The owners were so thoughtful, answered all of our questions and the house was so nice and clean. We had our 2 1/2 year old daughter and she loved the children’s room and the fact that it was stocked with some small toys. That was a lifesaver for us in the evenings after dinner. We had brought a few toys but since we flew it’s not like we could have bought a ton. We also walked 30 minutes to the lighthouse to watch the sunset instead of dealing with the parking situation so that was awesome. We had a mama deer and baby deer visit as we drank coffee one morning and it was so nice to just get away and unplug.

Great location, house and owner

Bass Harbor area seems to be much quieter than the Bar Harbor area. Location is great. House feels secluded, but is close enough to walk to harbor and restaurants. Short drive to lighthouse and several easy hiking areas. The house was very nice. It had plenty of dishes, pans, utensils, dish soap.... Everything worked great in the house, and we cooked dinner at the house 3-4 nights. The owners were helpful reaching out before the trip, checking in early and at the end, and offered to help at any point during the trip. They left a binder in the house with suggestions, and so we didn't need to reach out to them during our week. We would certainly rent this house again.

More than happy

Our stay in ME was our 2nd week of vacation. Bob and Mary's home was far better than our previous vrbo in Cape cod. The house was clean, accommodating, well laid out and in a great neighborhood. It made having the dogs very easy and we were able to do things with them, but also feel safe and comfortable leaving them at the house. The kids loved the "kid" room and all the adults were comfortable as well. Overall, we had a wonderful stay!
