About this property

Bass Harbor Oceanfront Chalet: Peaceful, Private, Great On-The-Ocean View

  • This is a charming Chalet-style home with 200 feet of shore frontage on Bass Harbor, with views of the working harbor and outlying islands. The Chalet sits on a private, wooded lot (screening you from neighbors), with a large 12' x 24' deck overlooking the harbor and tidal stream. The Kelly Preserve sits across the water from the Chalet, providing plenty of quiet and serenity.

    Relax on the deck and watch lobster boats, sail boats, canoes, kayakers, and the Swans Island Ferry within the harbor, or enjoy the view from the comfy living room, dining area, or the ocean-view bedroom. Kids will love to feed the ducks that visit the shore, and you'll enjoy the sunsets from our shore as well. They are spectacular! The Chalet also has secluded and spacious off-road parking.

    The property is adjacent to Acadia National Park, which offers beautiful scenery and these recreational opportunities: mountains, ocean views, fresh water lakes, and hiking trails. Also available are naturalist cruises and hikes, whale watching, kayaking, biking on carriage roads, and fresh seafood! There are many restaurants within three miles.

    Note that we rent only Saturday-to-Saturday (in increments of 7, 14, 21, etc. nights.)

    Note also that the two bedrooms are on the second floor and the bathroom is on the first.

Lovely and peaceful home

This chalet is adorable, right on the water! So peaceful, comfy beds, and perfectly located for Acadia. Warren was so nice, and we loved staying in their family home. You can tell it's a special place to them, and we're so glad we got to experience it.

Highly recommended. Great location, far away enough from the crowds elsewhere on the island, but still close to a few dining options and a few shops. The owners of this chalet really went out of their way to make sure that we were comfortable and pleased with our stay. Very pleased we chose to stay in their accommodations.

Great location

Great location, near Acadia but away from the crowds. Nice views, that change dramatically with the tide. The chalet has all you need, and was clean and comfortable. Communication from the host was good as well.

Great house in a beautiful location!

My wife and our two teenage daughters had a wonderful week staying at this house. As described, the house is right on Bass Harbor, which makes hiking around Acadia and going to the ocean very easy. We love 'the quiet side' of Mt. Desert Island and Warren's house is the perfect spot to enjoy it. We hope to come back!

Wonderful Vacation Chalet!

My husband and I spent a very comfortable and cozy week at the Elvins Chalet! We celebrated his birthday and our anniversary during the week. The Chalet had everything we needed including privacy on the deck in front of the Harbor!! We visited Acadia National Park and took several day trips exploring the island. Would definitely return!

Peace on MDI

This is such a lovely little chalet right on the water. On the quiet side of the island which is what we wanted. Absolutely loved just sitting outside and watching the changing tides. Several restaurant options nearby but everything you need to cook at the chalet too. Very clean and lots of information provided by the hosts. Easy check in and out. Will definitely stay here if we are able to return to Maine again.

Exceptional in every way!

17 years visiting Maine, last 5 yrs MDI area. The Elvin's Cottage by far the best overall stay! Cleanliness of the cottage, felt like staying in someone's home, not a rental. Communication fast, and friendly with many suggestions. Location, honestly the best for everything. We drove 1500 miles from GA, What's another 20 miles to Bar Harbor area. This year we came to relax, walk the carriage roads and Jordan's pond and eat Lobster everyday! Purchasing Lobster from Long Hill Lobster guy and wife, and cooking at the cottage, eating on the deck was the best! Along with take out from Thurston's. Plan on returning 2024

What a magnificent location on Bass Harbor. This location is just what we were looking for - quiet! We were able to kayak right of the property during high tide. The Chalet was clean and well equipped. The host answered any question promptly.

Acadia vacation

We had a wonderful week in Acadia and loved staying at the chalet on the quiet side of the island. It was the perfect home base for our day trips around Acadia, and we enjoyed watching the harbor and the tide come and go from the deck. The house was very comfortable for a family of four.

The property was as described and very clean. Very peaceful and a terrific view. I would say the location is mostly private (construction/ near by house). This house overall is very comfortable and felt like a 2nd home to me. The deck has terrific views of the harbor and the location is very near to Acadia.
