Great dog-friendly spot!
We enjoyed our stay here while in town for a family reunion! It’s a lovely, quiet spot and the house (clearly recently updated/renovated) is clean, organized, and well-stocked. We also appreciated how dog-friendly it was and loved being such a short walk from the Bass Harbor Light.

Another great stay!
We book this house twice a year. It's a private area, but located close enough to Bar Harbor & Acadia National Park. Our October stay is already booked!

Peaceful Getaway
We loved our time in Bass Harbor. The house had everything we needed. It was close enough to Bar Harbor and Southeast Harbor, but far enough away to be quiet. We loved exploring Seawall and the nature cruise we took.

Wonderful stay
The property was exactly as described. The house was very clean and fully stocked with necessary supplies (toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, cleaning supplies).

Great location and well stocked cottage
We loved being by Wonderland and the Bass Harbor Lighthouse for our trip to Acadia. It was perfect for our family. We made fresh local fish and pasta in the kitchen and it was very well stocked to do everything we needed. We played catch on the front lawn, the kids swang in the swing, and the we walked to the lighthouse for the sunset.

Amazing
My wife, myself and our dog have stayed at this house for a week the past two summers and we absolutely love it. The house is immaculate and the location is tremendous. Being able to hear the buoy and fog horn from the Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse just down the road is so relaxing. The house has everything you can think of for a great vacation.

Quiet/Private/Beautiful Home in the Woods
This house was perfect for our family of 6. We loved that the home was on a quiet, private road. Everything was clean and well organized. It was only about 30 minutes to Acadia highlights and Bar Harbor. We highly recommend this property!

Amazing National Park Getaway from the City
Driftwood Cottage was a fantastic getaway from Boston. The place was clean and gorgeous and had everything as advertised. The grill was supplied with propane, the hosts were responsive and helpful, and the beds were comfortable. The house is about 30 minutes from Acadia NP proper, but the surrounding area is just as remote and beautiful. The stars were brilliant and the area was quiet and filled with deer. I would highly recommend staying here and hope to return some time soon.

Beautiful Place
What a beautiful property in an unbelievable place. The house was immaculate. We have a special needs daughter that this place was perfect for. Abundance of wildlife in the area and the Bass Harbor Lighthouse was awesome. First time to this area of the country and we will be back. When we do, Driftwood Cottage will be our place to stay. Thanks for having such a great place and making it available.

Nice 2 night visit
Very clean property, we saw deer and turkey from the front porch while we were there! Easy walk to light house near by. Kitchen was well stocked for all we needed. They even provided laundry detergent for washing clothes- there was no soap in bathtub which is unusual, so bring your own just on case. Great place to stay near Arcadia National park.
