First time staying on the quiet side. Discovered new trails and great places to eat. The upstairs was very clean and spacious for all 7 of us. Loved all the outdoor space.
We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage has dragonfly-themed decor, even on the plates and cabinets handles. It was well-equipped with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay, including a fully stocked kitchen. 15 min walk to the lighthouse.
Our hosts provided everything needed for a wonderful stay. The home is beautiful and spacious and the location can’t be beat. Walking distance to the lighthouse and hiking trails. Perfect! Our group loved our stay here. Zero complaints.
This was our first trip to Maine, so when I booked the property it sounded like the location would be a good location and the house would be the size we needed. We were not disappointed with anything! The location was awesome, very quiet, close to some awesome trails and the water! The house was wonderful everything we needed and more! My grandsons loved the play set and toys!
Thank you for sharing your home with us.
The house worked well for our group of six ladies. The large kitchen and deck, complete with wooded back yard, were especially nice. The location was convenient, close to hiking trails, restaurants, and groceries.
One suggestion I would make would be to remove some of the personal items/knick-knacks in the bedrooms so that guests have more space for their items.
Perfect place for us, the kids and grandkids! The split level gives everyone their own private space but the kitchen and livingroom are large enough for everyone to gather together. The large yard and "pirate ship" playground were great entertainment for the kids when we weren't exploring the island. Location is great, a short walk to Bass Harbor Lighthouse. Absolutley one of our favorite locations and our host was very responsive to the few questions we had. Highly recommend the Dragonfly!
We loved our stay at this house. We love Bar Harbor but hate the crowds, so it was so great to be on the quiet side of the island. Bass Harbor is beautiful without the hassle. This very large house is in a great location for some of Acadia’s less famous (but still amazing) spots. The house had everything we needed for a stress free vacation. We loved the well equipped kitchen, big dining room table, coffee station, huge deck and those great mattresses! It really felt like a home away from home!
We throughly enjoyed our stay at Dragonfly Cottage! The house is lovely and was just perfect for our family. We absolutely loved the location because it was convenient to Acadia and all the activities we planned. It was away from the busy places and was quiet. The children loved the pirate play ship, the riding toys, and the toys inside. The kitchen was very well equipped and clean. As was the entire house. If you are looking for a great place to stay this one is for you.
What a lovely experience we had for the two weeks we visited. This home was located near bass harbor light house and just down the street from several lovely walks to the ocean. Plenty of rooms to accommodate the friends and family visiting together. Clean and charming decor. The large back deck overlooking a large back yard and woods was great for having relaxing cookouts. Located on the quiet side of the island. Convenient drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Owner was easy to reach with any questions we had. I would definitely rent this house again!!
This beautiful house was absolutely amazing!! Had everything you can imagine for your stay. Beds super comfortable. Also,gave us a nice welcome basket with lots of different treats in it.
Would definitely stay here again and recommend highly. Thank you.
We gathered from Boston, NYC, Ohio and Colorado for a very enjoyable family vacation at the Dragonfly Cottage. Our young grandkids were checking out the pirate ship in front yard before we had the cars unloaded, and the ship and the wheeled outdoor toys kept them very busy when we were at the house. Bedrooms on two floors let us put those small kids to sleep while the adults stayed up watching movies, working puzzles or just talking.
There is an incredible variety of restaurants in the area, but with preschoolers, seafood allergies and outdoor group activities that could be so much fun it was hard to make it for a restaurant reservation time, it was just easier to prepare some meals ourselves, and we very much appreciated the large, well-appointed kitchen, the grill on back deck, and the large indoor and outdoor eating areas that allowed us to do that. Having 2 washers and 2 dryers available was a big help, especially since the weather was considerably hotter than predicted, and sweaty clothes really needed washed after every hike or bike ride. This home was ideal for our family reunion and we'd highly recommend it for any group that comes to the Acadia area for the outdoor activities, but also wants some down time together.
This is one of the most comfortable homes we've stayed in. It's well organized and has anything you might need. The location is great to restaurants, great hikes, and the lighthouse. Wonderful!
We rented this place for a week at the end of the summer for a family vacation with extended family to explore Acadia and Bar Harbor. This was our 4th trip to Acadia but first time with a large group and staying in Bass Harbor. We had some hiccups but overall, had a decent stay. We discovered a new favorite restaurant for lobster rolls during this trip - Archie’s!! Highly recommend!!
Pros
-good, quiet area. The house is 30 minutes to Bar Harbor and Acadia but very close to Bass Harbor lighthouse, Echo Lake, Shipharbor Trail, Wonderland Trail and SW Harbor
-large spacious house with room for multiple couples
-ceiling fans plus stand up fans in all bedrooms makes it comfortable despite no AC
-plenty of space in the kitchen to cook, hang out and enjoy meals
-great back deck to have morning coffee and grill
-Washer and dryer on both floors, as well as toilets and showers. There is detergent and dryer balls, but we brought all of our own laundry products.
-a fantastic ship playground out front was a huge hit for the kids
Cons:
-upon arrival, the basement was not fully cleaned. There was a ball of hair in the shower, hair on the toilet seat, outside of the bowl and in the sink. The queen room had not been cleaned - the sheets had hair in them and a stain and some of the guests unfortunately found that out when they were ready to get into bed the first night.
-there were about 20 phorid (drain) flies in the basement sink and a couple upstairs in the kitchen sink when we all arrived.
-the pipe in the basement ceiling of the living room leaks water when the shower was being used
I contacted the owner late that night and she responded the next morning apologizing. I asked her to come clean the bathroom and queen room and to pour bleach down the drains to start the process of killing the drain flies. She came by that day to do everything. It definitely decreased the number of phorid flies while we were there. She was easy to reach and responsive.
There are a lot of decorations and trinkets around the house which doesn't allow space for guests to put personal belongings out so I would recommend to the owner to put their items away when they aren't living at the house.
Overall, this house is spacious, comfortable and in a quiet location. It's great for a large group and we enjoyed our stay.
Peaceful vacation house with awe-inspiring star gazing
Very peaceful vacation house in Bass Harbor, walking distance to the lighthouse and the Island Explorer bus into the National Park. The stargazing from the back deck was awe-inspiring. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the college kids enjoyed having their own space (including fridge and TV) in the basement. Like most coastal Maine houses, there is no air conditioning, but fans and open windows kept us comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!
While actually in Bass Harbor this home had everything you need to have a Great Family vacation. It is 2 separate apartments and made for a very enjoyable time for the Seniors downstairs and the younger family upstairs. Great location and every need taking care of.
We had a wonderful vacation in Bass Harbour! The house had all amenities we needed plus a great location near the light house, nature trails and close to Echo Lake.
If I could give this place more stars I would!! We’ve rented VRBO’s for over 10 years and this ranks amongst the best!! The listing is very accurate and it’s sooo clean!! We loved the deck which extended our outdoors time with early morning peace and outdoor eating! We also played frisbee golf and bocce ball around the house at night! The drive way and yard is a perfect place for families with young kids to play. The location allows you to walk to the lighthouse easily and the Ship Harbor hike with tidepools fairly close for a long walk or bike ride. You are close to Bar Harbor without being in the crowds all day. We highly recommend The Upper Deck Restaurant if you want to try lobster with a great ocean view. Enjoy all aspects of Acadia by staying here!
Dragonfly Cottage is beautifully decorated and suitable for large families. The entire home has an air of relaxation. My kids were enchanted with the pirate ship play area in front of the house, as well as the large driveway to run around. The kitchen is well-stocked with pans, utensils, and everything we needed for meal prep. I am going to miss the high-quality washer and dryer... Our hosts also left a note for us directing where to find games, puzzles, and other things for the kids.
We couldn't ask for a better location - the Bass Harbor Head lighthouse is just around the corner, as are a few easy hiking trails that are part of Acadia National Park. Some more strenuous trails are available within a few minutes drive as well. There are a couple of ice cream stands close by, some good seafood restaurants, and an islands cruise nearby.
We stayed ten days, and we didn't want to leave!
