Bass Cottage Inn is a wonderful home away from home while you explore Bar Harbor and Acadia. If you want a good night's sleep, an amazing breakfast and knowledgeable staff that make you feel at home, this is the place for you. I stayed here for 3 nights recently while hiking Acadia and exploring the Maine coast. The location was perfect as you can walk pretty much anywhere in Bar Harbor. Breakfast was delicious every morning, and the inn was such a comfortable place to return to after a long day. The staff, especially Jill and Rya (sp?) had great, off the beaten path, recommendations for me to check out. I can't wait to return in the near future!Walkability: Within walking distance to pretty much everything in Bar Harbor.

First time to Bar Harbor and driving in I was a little concerned with how “touristy” it was. It is tucked away and you would never know how close everything is. Loved the accommodations and staff. They were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a delight.

Great little spot. Cheaper than most of the blander offerings in the area. We stayed in the paprika room - large and comfortable. Friendly staff and an actual good breakfast with good coffee.Short walk to most of the local restaurants. If they have availability you likely won't be disappointed.

The location is perfect. Just a short walk to the beautiful harbor, Agamont Park, restaurants, shopping, and all the best of Bar Harbor. You can see the water from the front of the house. The staff are amazing and kind. The rooms are cozy and clean. The breakfast is amazing. Jill is an especially incredible host with extra insight into the best hikes and restaurants. She’s one of the best reasons to stay here. And Rebecca, Echo, and Will are also very helpful.

Had a wonderful stay for our 15 year anniversary. The location in Bar Harbor is great. You can walk every where in Bar Harbor and a 2 minute walk to the water. William was a great help with recommendations from activities to places to eat. He is definitely ready to drive the B&B's cars. Jill was also helpful finding a solution to a non-working a/c and fixing the situation. Breakfast was also good and nice to walk downstairs for breakfast every morning.

This is a five star bed and breakfast in every respect . . . almost.The property is absolutely gorgeous! Just two or three minutes walk from the cottage, and you're on the water!The sea breeze and scent of the water is palpable. And the spring flowers are also stunning.We were in the "geranium room" with the word "Jack" on the door.In this quaint suite the bedroom was huge and there was also a small adjoining sitting room with a TV and a gas fireplace.The bathroom was directly off the sitting room and was large and spacious.The entire suite was absolutely spotless and meticulously decorated.There were fine linens, sufficient pillows, and plenty of high quality towels and toiletries.While we would have preferred an in room tea kettle, there were beverages and snacks in the main house next door.So then why does this luxurious location only get four stars?Unfortunately, when selecting our room we were not aware of its undesirable location at the corner of the building, first floor. There is a huge bay window that runs a good portion of the exterior wall leaving us no choice but to close the blinds lest we remain on display for every guest to walk by and inadvertently spoil our privacy. The sitting room's windows suffer the same fate as does the bathroom. There is simply no where to "hide." We were also unable to open the windows and catch the cool sea breeze for the very same reason. And so we felt as though we were trapped in a dark dungeon.The property is highly recommended with the caveat that anything less than a second floor room will lack the privacy that should accompany luxury.Rooms: Be very careful about the room you select. All are not equal!Walkability: No need for a car, at all!Food & drinks: Excellent breakfast, made to order!

Wonderful place to stay here in Bar Harbor. Location is excellent. Help is fantastic. Food is very good. The only negative thing I would say is the common rooms are very warm and uncomfortable since there is no air conditioning.

Had a wonderful 3 night stay! Can’t beat the location, 10-20 minutes drive from multiple Acadia trailheads, but no car required to get to all the shops and restaurants in town. The staff are super friendly and the breakfast is delicious :)

Incredible bed & breakfast! Stayed in the Thyme room and it was extremely clean, cozy, and comfortable. Rebecca and Jill made our “thyme” extra special due to their amazing hospitality. You’ll enjoy the homemade breakfasts every morning and the convenience of being within walking distance to all Bar Harbor shops & restaurants, and within 30 minutes of the hiking trails in Acadia.
