No smoking, no pets.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Glad to be on ‘the quiet side’: Views are beautiful. Bass Harbor has been photographed for the cover of a National Geographic book about New England and has been the site of several movies. The lobster fishing boats are always interesting, and if you love wildlife, eagles soar over the harbor daily. We counted twelve herons in the low tide one September day and have watched loons, ducks, terns, and gulls work the harbor.Although we’re only thirty minutes from Bar Harbor, we are essentially very different. Bass Harbor is a small fishing village and working harbor on the southern end of Mount Desert Island. We’re called ‘The quiet side of the Island.’ There’s plenty to do here: The Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse, Wonderland and Ship Harbor (part of Acadia National Park) are only a mile or two away. At Little Island Marine, the small boatyard which shares the peninsula with the house, Island Cruises makes nature trips Monday through Saturday, and charters private fishing or sailing trips. Restaurants are within easy walking distance.See reviews on Tripadvisor.Top things to do in Bass Harbor* Visit Acadia National Park* Take an ‘Island Cruise’* Eat at long-time local restaurants* Rent a boat for the day at Island Cruises* Buy lobster/crabmeat freshTop things to do on a budget* Visit Acadia National Park* Walk through our lovely village* Enjoy watching eagles, etc.* Cook out on the deck, at water’s edge* Watch Maine’s 3rd largest lobster fleet at workTop things to do with a family* Explore the National Park* Spend the day at the beach* Have a cookout* Enjoy ‘Island Cruises’, 2-hr. boat ride
