The ‘quiet side’ of Mt. Desert Island, which includes Bass Harbor, Tremont, Seal Cove, and Bernard on the southern and western sides of the island, is much more rural in nature and only about twenty to thirty minutes to major park entrances. What Bass Harbor lacks in shopping, it makes up for in seafood restaurants and local color, as this is a village with a true ‘Down East’ flavor, as well as the famous Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse.
My extended family of 9 rented “The Hillside” property in June 2022 and had a marvelous time. We had the main house and the roadside cabin. The property was in good shape, great kitchen with all the amenities for the meal get together, excellent playroom and toys for the little ones, comfortable beds and decent bathrooms. We loved the quiet property with tennis, walks on the beach and pier, and even a quick jump in the pool (50F !) . 30-45 minute drive to NP and Bar Harbor, great local restaurants, also did lobster boat tour at Southwest Harbor. Great experience, would definitely recommend. We enjoyed the heat relief, being from Texas!
