About the home:
Tall Pines Cottage will be available for rent weekly from Saturday 3pm to Saturday 10:30am. Due to a slower economy, this year we are renting nightly with a 3 night minimum. Check-in will be from 3-6 and Check-out by 10:30. This very spacious home (built in 2001) sleeps 6 (three bedrooms with queen beds) with an option for 2 additional people on a sleep sofa. There is an eat-in kitchen, full size dining room with seating for 8; a spacious living room with wood stove; fabulous cedar porch; 2 car garage, gas grill and the home is just a 2 minute walk down to the idyllic fishing village of Bass Harbor. The house enjoys a view of the water and with just a 2 minute walk, guests can be sitting on the dock, or enjoying a Maine lobster dinner on the patio at Seafood Ketch restaurant.
This is a housekeeping cottage cleaned after each stay. Towels and linens are provided. Cooking utensils as well.
The Area:
Bass Harbor is the absolute idyllic spot when we think of Maine Coast. Not touristy like Bar Harbor, but close enough - about 15 miles. This is a quaint fishing village and Tall Pines Cottage is just a minute's walk to the harbor. Beautiful views to the west of the Western Mountains toward Bernard are an amazing backdrop for the harbor.
It's on a wonderfully quiet residential street, but only a one minute walk down to the harbor. In Bass Harbor (in walking distance) there are two restaurants, a working lobster pier, an antique store, ferry terminal to Swan's Island, a shuttle bus stop (the free Island Explorer shuttle) and close by is the Bass Head Lighthouse and some nature trails.
Other Activities:
Boating, Shopping, Kayaking, Wildlife viewing, Rock climbing
