Accommodation Information

Our accommodations include four cabins or cottages in the Bass Harbor area ("the quiet side of the island") in the town of Bernard, ME.  They are nestled in a secluded, wooded area, are just a mile from Back Beach, the local library, boat landing, and lobsters at famous Thurston's Wharf (which has been featured in several movies filmed in the area).  Southwest Harbor is less than 4 miles away.  Though not located in busy Bar Harbor, they are within easy commute to Bar Harbor.  The Island Explorer Bus system (which is free transportation to most anywhere on the island) pick ups and drops off nearby, making it easy to explore the island and Acadia National Park without having to fight traffic.  Nearby Southwest Harbor offers a wide variety of dining choices, as well as boat tours, kayaking, hiking, fishing and shopping.  Please note that neither smoking or pets are allowed at the cottages. 

Located at the entrance to the cottages, is green grass, flowers, fruit trees and a picket fence, all of which will add a warm charm and peaceful tranquility to your island getaway.  Homeport Cottage (below) is the staff cabin, meals center and group gathering & social area for our Acadia stay.  The large 18' high, open cathedral ceiling living room features a gas fireplace with plenty of room for gathering.  The covered porch, as well as the sun, rain & screen shelters we provide and an outdoor fireplace allow time to enjoy the warm summer August evenings.
