What a wonderful stay! Ned’s adorable cottage in Bass Harbor was the perfect New England escape. Nestled right on the water, it truly captures the charm of a working harbor. Watching the tides come and go, seeing the incredible wildlife and birds, and looking out at the lobster boats was such a special experience. It truly felt like authentic Maine lobster country!The cottage was beautifully appointed, with lovely artwork, thoughtful details, and everything we needed to feel at home. It had so much character and warmth, making our stay truly special. We loved the tranquility of Bass Harbor while still being close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.We came to MDI to run the marathon, and Ned was incredibly supportive from the very beginning, encouraging us before we arrived and checking in throughout our stay. After the race, he congratulated us with such kind words of encouragement. His genuine interest and thoughtfulness went above and beyond what we expected from a host. We loved it so much that we extended our stay an extra day! Ned took care of all the arrangements, making it completely effortless. That extra day was absolutely worth it!We honestly never wanted to leave. This cottage is a little slice of Bass Harbor heaven, and we can’t imagine a more perfect place to experience the magic of Mount Desert Island. We would return in a heartbeat!
