Affordable Vacation Home Near Acadia National Park

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely a great place to stay and quiet. First time in the area and I had plenty of hikes in the area with out crowds. Go to Long Pond and hike up to Beech Mt from West view to get some steps. The codes and the expectations were clear."

Driftwood Cottage: Bass Harbor, ME

10/10 Excellent

"We couldn’t be happier with our stay at Driftwood cottage! It worked perfectly for our large family. The house is very thoughtfully stocked so a family with kids (or pets) could stay comfortably for a week- a pack and play, kid potty seat, step stools, kids dish ware, and even has a swing set! The toys, art supplies, and Maine-themed children’s books went a long way too. Cooking accessories and pantry stock items, laundry supplies, and coffee were also provided. We loved the large flat grassy yard and the option to use the fire pit and the large front deck for dinners and morning coffee. The house slept 7 of us comfortably and was beautifully decorated with a nautical theme. The location in Bass Harbor was lovely- close enough to the ocean to hear the channel markers ring gently but also private and rustic enough to relax and rest. The drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia took about 35 mins, but was incredibly pleasant- crossing through quaint local towns and harbors on the way with local restaurants and shops, plus gorgeous views. The hosts were incredibly responsive and kind. The price was incredibly reasonable for all the resources, especially for a large family during peak tourism season. We would definitely stay here again!"

Luxury 3/2, Wheelchair access, Hot Tub+Lift, Yard, Fireplace Walk to Lighthouse

"Great"

Quiet Family & Pet Friendly Home! [Owls Nest]

10/10 Excellent

"Exactly as pictured, clean, pet friendly, and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Enough beds to accommodate our large group and everyone enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings."

“Brookshire Cottage” Acadia National Park “Pet Friendly” Mt Desert Island ME

10/10 Excellent

"The house was spotless and has a charm to it. Very cozy and there was plenty of space for my family of 6. Bass Harbor lighthouse is a 4 minute drive away and there are many attractions within 30 minutes like Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The host offers a lot of accommodations and the house is fully stocked in every room (kitchen, bathrooms, living room and bedrooms). Can’t imagine having found a better home for our vacation. Lovely place and would stay here again!!"

Peaceful, clean, spacious, comfortable on 2 acres. Free Acadia pass w/4nights!

"Lots of space, great for our family, thanks!"

Lighthouse Cabins Maine

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous cabin/tiny home in beautiful setting with great information, games and vending plus free laundry. Walk to restaurant and Bass Harbor lighthouse. Assortment of tasty and healthy breakfast options. Host spent considerable time sharing recommendations in area and Acadia with handwritten notes and suggestions. Firepit was perfect evening relaxation. Would definitely book again!"

Lux Cabin 2/2, HotTub, Wood Fireplace, Soaker Tub, Firepit, Walk to Lighthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely, fresh, and cozy place. Loved the hot tub, the deck was beautiful and I wish we had time to use the nice fire pit surrounded by the trees. Beds were comfortable and showers great. The TV is quite high and due to space the couches are not set back enough. I’m not sure with the space if you could improve it much. We got used to it. It was a great place to unwind after exploring the park and the lighthouse and seawall are just around the corner."

Spacious Cottage Overlooking Bass Harbor with Sweeping Front Lawn
