Treetop retreat with access to kayaks and rowboat near Acadia National Park

Check out the new video of The Treehouse at the end of the photo gallery! It gives you a much better feel for the property, quiet location plus it shows the close proximity to the water's edge and dock. The Treehouse is a second story 2 bedroom apartment, 28x32. It has a full bath w/ tub/shower combination, a heat pump with electric heat and cooling, a range and refrigerator. There is a washer and dryer on the ground floor as well as a second bathroom, accessible from the outside of building. These spaces are provided as additional amenities for tenants and shared with the cleaners and groundskeeper. The spacious living area has a vaulted ceiling and opens onto a deck through sliding glass doors. A gas grill is provided. The shore of Bass Harbor is just a short stroll down the driveway where there is a shared dock with two other cottages, a row boat and kayaks for our tenants use.
From this cozy space in an authentic fishing village visit Acadia National Park, Somes Sound(the only fjord on the east coast) and lots of shops, museums, and galleries in our 3 island towns. Countless artists and artisans are drawn to the region by its natural beauty. Out door adventures abound in this rugged landscape. Boat cruises, hiking, biking, and sea kayaking will reward you with spectacular scenery and views of wildlife.

Perfect Maine Getaway!
The treehouse is a perfect summer spot. The photos do not do it justice; it is clean and tidy and the kitchen has every tool you could imagine needing (far from classic rental sparseness!). The location was perfect on Acadia's quiet-side, and the dock / kayak access was such a wonderful touch! Though it is a slight walk away from the house; the dock is not connected to the treehouse. Stacy was very responsive to all of our questions, within half an hour. I really have no complaints and would certainly recommend my friends stay here, or we stay here again!

Couple Getaway
My husband & I loved staying at this treehouse location. It was the perfect size, equipped with all we needed for our stay. It was about 30 min from everything we wanted to do while visiting Acadia. If we hadn’t stayed here, and opted for Bar Harbor, we would never have seen this part of the area. Plus, the kayaks were a fun activity. Would stay again!

Beautiful tree house
We enjoyed staying and working at the Tree House. We kayaked each morning in Bass Harbor and went on more adventures in the afternoon. Tha location was perfect quiet and accessible to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The tree house was clean and very comfortable.

Treetop charm
A very charming, bright and cheery space. We enjoyed the quietside location away from the hustle but close enough to Acadia park. The views from the dock were beautiful. We had a relaxing stay. The host was very responsive in helping us with our needs.

Great cottage in the quiet corner of Acadia
This cottage is charming and comfy. It has everything you need, plenty of bedding, kitchen wares, towels, etc. The deck and patio set are great. The trees grew up taking away a potential view of the bay, but the trees do give the treehouse feel and privacy. We used the kayaks, dock, and garden areas quite a lot. The tide is very dramatic and the bay empties out, it will take a day or so to get used to that. The location is tranquil and out of the way, but there are quality restaurants and convenience stores within a mile or two. Just a couple of things, not a complaint, but informative, there is not a dishwasher so pack paper goods if you're staying as a family. Also, there is a long staircase up to the cottage. The steps are fine and there are handrails, but anyone in the party staying there needs to understand that you'll be doing these stairs to come and go, take out the trash, and do laundry, so you'll be doing them often. If we return to Acadia we will definitely consider this cottage again!

Nice place on the quieter side of Acadia
We really enjoyed our time in Acadia - this is a great location for the quieter part of Acadia, which we enjoyed a lot. Loved being able to take the kayaks and rowboat out on the water.

Great location for Bar Harbor and Acadia
We had a great time staying here and appreciated the nice accommodations for our family with three small kiddos. Great location for everything Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, but far enough off the beaten path that it feels secluded and away from the busyness that can surround both of those places. Would stay again.

Loved our stay here!
We enjoyed this great location and open concept space. The upstairs has wonderful views and is comfortably furnished. We didn't pay enough attention to the listing about second bathroom being located downstairs and accessible only by going downstairs on the exterior. It was fine for the 4 of us to share the upstairs bathroom, but would be somewhat challenging with more people. The lower bath is also quite small and musty smelling, so it would be best only as emergency overflow. The beds were very comfortable and kitchen seemed well stocked. The area is scenic and we very much enjoyed our stay!!! Host is responsive and instruction/info manual was thorough. Thank you!!

Work/Hike from Anywhere Trip
Property was perfect for my first experience in Acadia. The area has a few other properties, but I didn't hear them even with the doorwall open to let in the fresh pine and floral smells from the outdoors. Had all the basics to cook, grill, and relax. Food, gas, and grocery were not too far either. Limited options being on this side of the Acadia, but it got me out of the house exploring more. The Wonderland and Ship Harbor trail are a 5 minute drive away to get your morning walk on and see the sunrise. The water levels were extremely low, so I didn't get to use the kayak amenity, but other than that it was a great retreat.

Quite, Clean Stay in Bass Harbor
The property was the perfect spot for a family of four. There was plenty of space for all of us. The area was quiet and in a convenient location with the average drive to Acadia NP being around 30 minutes. There was also easy access to Southwest Harbor shops and restaurants. The kids also enjoyed the kayaks available for use down by the dock. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.

Unique Place
This is really an amazing place to stay and I would come back. Great location and there is a short walk to the kayaks, and another short walk to another shore access spot. The only downside is if you have kids the deck is not super kid friendly, its high up and they could fall through the fence. We have an 8th month old and 3 year old and it was not an issue. The stairs a bit of work but staying in the tree tops was pretty cool. The main space was our favorite with many large windows. We even saw deer from the house, and some birds. You can paddle or row to archies Lobsters for lunch or dinner if they are open.

Pure Tranquility
We vacationed here with our 25 yr old son and his girlfriend. Two 6ft males and 2 women very comfortably enjoyed the entire stay. The property inside and out is noticeably well cared for and maintained. The listing is accurate on pictures dimensions amenities. Yet the experience being there is so much more. Nestled away on a quiet street completely relaxing even in the midst of peak season. We woke up each morning and watched mama deer and her baby wandering by nibbling on plants as close as the hammock. The view from the dock or garden is like beautiful changing artwork from sunrise to sunset. We paddled out to the harbor in the kayaks, leisurely floating watching the shorebirds diving for fish and all the colorful boats anchored or coming and going. Thurstons restaurant is only a mile or so from the cottage, right on the harbor delicious lobster meals. Bass Harbor Lighthouse is nearby and just beyond that is Shipyard Trail. We fished and spotted a baby otter in the tide pool also fishing, popped up with tiny fish in its mouth. We just thought it was the perfect location, close to all MDI has to offer, just enough distance from busy tourism to feel immersed in peace and nature. Not enough to room to share every highlight. For certain, the host, the cottage, the area of Bass Harbor were a big part of this being a great trip. I definitely recommend. Also footnote, I just turned 50, not an athlete but I climbed The BeeHive with my son. If I can do it, you can do it🙂. I say that only because I easily could have convinced myself not to. It was so worth it. No regrets
