Further details for this holiday cottage rental in Bass Harbor, USA

The Full bedroom is ideal for children, teens, a nanny, second couple or grandparents. The third bedroom includes 2 twin beds and is designed with children in mind as well. The home is fully equipped with all the basic amenities to make your stay comfortable and convenient. It provides a cool respite in the summer and a cozy and inviting place to gather in the cold winter months. Ideal for cross country ski vacations on Mount Desert Island Carriage Roads. ***We are members of the Southwest Harbor/Tremont Chamber of Commerce.

There is no shortage of activities available on Mount Desert Island. 120 miles of impeccably maintained carriage trails provide ideal conditions for biking, hiking, or cross-country skiing. The many ponds and lakes and quick access to the ocean allow for swimming, sailing, motor boating, beachcombing, and other activities. On rainy days, visit a local historical library, museum, or gallery.

In the winter, go ice-fishing, head north for the dog sled races for a day, or go snowshoeing, snowmobiling, or sledding! If you enjoy the outdoors, this is the place to be! The scenic views are breathtaking any time of the year. Play golf, take a garden tour, watch a local performance, and have a great meal! Ledges Cottage is ideally located on a quiet circle about 5 miles from the center of Southwest Harbor. It is conveniently located 1 mile or less from the nearest convenience store, post office, town office, and the working docks. In addition, the Bar Harbor Airport just 15 miles away makes your flight into town a breeze. (Bangor Airport is located approx. 50 miles away).

Ski: For those interested in cross country skiing, there are plenty of well-groomed carriage trails available on Mount Desert Island. During the winter when the Park Loop road is closed, many skiers also take advantage of the opportunity to ski there as well, and the views are spectacular!

Golf: 5 miles away

Exceptional stay and reasonable price!

Michelle and Sharon Syracuse, NY
Review Submitted: November 4, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
I have been vacationing in Maine for the past 10 years. This place was by far the best place I have stayed as far as cottages are concerned. Cozy, spacious, with a full kitchen, washer and dryer and a wood stove! We really enjoyed the wood stove each night using the wood provided for us at no charge! The master bedroom was cozy, spacious with a comfy king sized bed! The BEST part of our entire vacation though was the FREE Lobster Boat tour that Wayne and Jackie offer to everyone who stays. It was a good couple of hours where we got to see Bass Harbor Lighthouse from the water, a bunch of seals, how they haul lobster traps and so on. The scenery itself was worth it. The owners were very friendly and we enjoyed getting to know them. They went above and beyond to accommodate us and make our stay enjoyable! We will definitely be looking them up next time we stay in Maine! And if you stay try the small restaraunt in Bass Harbor called Sea Ketch. It was excellent!

Great Maine Experience

Georgia Leaf Watcher Jonesboro, Georgia South East USA
Review Submitted: October 13, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
The cottage was everything I expected. We loved the boat trip out with Wayne on the boat. The lobster we had from the trip was awesome. Wayne and Jackie provided information about the area, as well as menus for the island resturants. The cottage was clean, and well maintained. We enjoyed visiting the different villages on the island. I went to see the fall leaves. This area of Maine is perfect for early leaf peeping. We visited in early October before the weather begins to turn really cold. I would recomment this cottage to anyone looking for a comfotable place to stay while visiting Maine. The matresses on the beds were above average, very comfortable. Jackie and Wayne made us feel right at home. I would recomment the resturaunt, Alice and Wimpy's for great seafood. The people in this area are friendly and give great service. The stores in this area offer a good selection of products. I especially liked the variety of coffees to choose from in the convenience stores as well as the food markets. I would love to go back and visit this area of Maine again, and I would stay at the same cottage again.

Our best vacation on MDI

Review Submitted: June 8, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
Our stay at the Ledges Cottage was by far the most memorable of our many visits to MDI. Aside from being clean, inviting comfortable and affordable, we were greeted warmly by the owners. We knew if we had any questions they were available but they always gave us our privacy too.
The bedrooms were extremely comfortable, everything was there that we needed, even a safety rail for our toddlers. They were all a nice size too, especially the master, which was very large, comfortable and inviting.
We like the quiet side of the island, there is so much more to MDI than Bar Harbor. It is still very close to town if you need anything.
The complementary tour on the Lobster Boat with Wayne was one of the best memories of any of our trips to Maine. It has always been our favorite vacation spot and a first hand peek into the life of a Lobsterman is a rare opportunity. Our kids had a ball, they didn't stop talking about it for months and learned a lot!(so did we)
On our next stay on MDI, the Ledges Cottage will be a must do for us, our daughter calls it "Our other house on vacation."

The Best Vacation in Maine that we ever had..

Lives in PA United States
Review Submitted: May 21, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
The 3 bedroom home was clean and well maintained. There was plenty of room for my family of 5 plus my mother in law. MDI has plenty of amazing activities for children and adults.. We had a blast ! The most enjoyable thing that we did though was the Lobster Boat ride with the Rich Family. I couldn't believe the Lobster Boat ride was free !!! They are a lovely family and are a great source of information about were to go and what to do.. We can't wait to go back !!! I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did.

September Vacation

wideglide Canton, Ohio
Review Submitted: May 20, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
Our recent stay at the "Ledges" was fantastic! very comfortable for our four adults. quaint, cozy and secluded.
It had all the ammenities one could want. a perfect "command central" for boating, hiking, fishing, sight-seeing, and great food and many more attractions! The pictures do not do the cottage justice, plenty of room, for adults or children great beds, everything one could ever want.
