This is a charming Chalet-style home with 200 feet of shore frontage on Bass Harbor, with views of the working harbor and outlying islands. The Chalet sits on a private, wooded lot (screening you from neighbors), with a large 12' x 24' deck overlooking the harbor and tidal stream. The Kelly Preserve sits across the water from the Chalet, providing plenty of quiet and serenity.

Relax on the deck and watch lobster boats, sail boats, canoes, kayakers, and the Swans Island Ferry within the harbor, or enjoy the view from the comfy living room, dining area, or the ocean-view bedroom. Kids will love to feed the ducks that visit the shore, and you'll enjoy the sunsets from our shore as well. They are spectacular! The Chalet also has secluded and spacious off-road parking.

The property is adjacent to Acadia National Park, which offers beautiful scenery and these recreational opportunities: mountains, ocean views, fresh water lakes, and hiking trails. Also available are naturalist cruises and hikes, whale watching, kayaking, biking on carriage roads, and fresh seafood! There are many restaurants within three miles.

Note that we rent only Saturday-to-Saturday (in increments of 7, 14, 21, etc. nights.)

Note also that the two bedrooms are on the second floor and the bathroom is on the first.

    The chalet was delightful. It was cozy, comfortable and had beautiful scenery. It was wonderful experiencing the tides ebb and flow daily. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a quiet getaway.Warren and Judy were great to work with and were available to contact if we needed anything.

    The chalet was clean and cozy, perfectly suited for relaxing by the harbor. This trip to Acadia, we decided to stay on the quieter side of the island and it was beautiful. The back deck was perfect to sit on and drink coffee while listening to the birds and waves lapping on the shore. The kitchen was well equipped and worked wonderfully for the times we didn’t want to eat out at a restaurant.We enjoyed the small-town pleasantries that nearby Southwest Harbor had to offer when we didn’t want to take the 40 minute drive to Bar Harbor or the major hikes of Acadia. Overall, it is a beautiful little chalet on the water and we had a wonderful stay!

    The property was as described and very clean. Very peaceful and a terrific view. I would say the location is mostly private (construction/ near by house). This house overall is very comfortable and felt like a 2nd home to me. The deck has terrific views of the harbor and the location is very near to Acadia.

    What a magnificent location on Bass Harbor. This location is just what we were looking for - quiet! We were able to kayak right of the property during high tide. The Chalet was clean and well equipped. The host answered any question promptly.

    Highly recommended. Great location, far away enough from the crowds elsewhere on the island, but still close to a few dining options and a few shops. The owners of this chalet really went out of their way to make sure that we were comfortable and pleased with our stay. Very pleased we chose to stay in their accommodations.

    This was one of the best places we have stayed on MDI. Close to our favorite lobster pound, Thurston's. We have always enjoyed staying on the quiet side of MDI, and this house was in the perfect location. There was really nothing missing that we needed. I just wished I would have brought my kayaks. Definitely next time.

    This chalet is adorable, right on the water! So peaceful, comfy beds, and perfectly located for Acadia. Warren was so nice, and we loved staying in their family home. You can tell it's a special place to them, and we're so glad we got to experience it.
