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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Budget Accomodations at Champagne Prices
NOT what we paid for or expected from the pictures or the online description. I'm sharing the lesson we learned first, in case you don't make it through my complaint-o-gram: We decided to make the best of a bad situation while we were on vacation & called VRBO to complain when we returned home. VRBO said that we should have called them when we arrived. They assured me that, given the situation, they would have moved us to new, safer accomodations. I will remember that for the future. For the price we paid, this should have been way nicer. We got rooked . MOST importantly, this rental did not feel safe. The steep grade of the stairs was certainly not to code and there was no type of slip protection on the narrow boards. When they were dew-covered in the morning, they were impossible to safely climb up and down. We had an infant with us and it was very stressful every time we had to climb them. The surfaces of the unit were clean; however, all of the furniture was old & worn. The fabric chairs & sofa didn't smell clean. Another safety issue: there was a jagged bar of metal sticking out of the side of the sofa. I didn't see it & injured my leg on it on day 1. 7 days later when we left, I still had a bruise the size of a softball on my leg. That jagged, metal bar was also right at eye level when our 10 month old was crawling. We blocked it as best we could, but it made it hard to relax & enjoy our stay. The dishes were chipped & mismatched, sheets on one of the beds had holes in them, many of the towels needed to be thrown out. The "2nd" bathroom should not have been counted with this unit - totally inaccurate. It is on the first floor, completely separate from the unit, and opens to the outdoors. It is not fully finished out and there's some sort of weird sewage box right next to the toilet that makes crazy noises any time you use the water. It looks like the restroom & storage area for the many handypeople & workers that constantly come and go. And who's going to be able to get down the slippy stairs after dark or in the early morning to use it anyways? Another inaccuracy - that cute dock & boat picture? Yeah, that's nowhere near this converted garage rental. You walk between other nicer rentals to get to a dock that is so steeply inclined that most people wouldn't attempt it. There is no where to sit or hang out by the water because you're boxed in by the other rentals. Wouldn't stay here again if it were free.

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!

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.
