“Lovely views”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2008

people found this review helpful

We stayed in the Loft apartment of the Boathouse for 3 nights. Connie was welcoming and helpful on arrival and provided us with maps of the local area. The apartment is comfortable and the views over the harbor beautiful. We were lucky enough to see some great sunsets.

My two small criticisms are that the hotwater tank seems small as we ran out of hot water a couple of times when showering. The kitchen area could also be better equipped as it's very basic if you are trying to cook a proper meal.

The Bass Harbor/Quietside of Acadia is beautiful and if you are looking for tranquility and natural beauty I would highly recommend this area over Bar Harbor.

  • Liked — lovely views
  • Disliked — hot water running out and basic kitchen equipment

“Rooms to Let - Terribly Misrepresented and Hostile Propietor”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2006

I was shocked. The Bass Harbor Country Cottages and Country Inn should be called "Rooms to Let". We stayed in room 2 of the "Inn". There is nothing "inn-like" about the Bass Harbor Inn.
The propietor was hostile (and I should say I am an easy going avid traveler and have a 'let's make this work' attitude). The 'innkeeper' demanded our balance due upon arrival. My 'red flag' had gone up in the email reservation/confirmation we received that clearly showed that once you make your reservation, you can't get a refund no matter how far in advance you cancel UNLESS she can re-rent the room from her--i.e. I could tell that follks had demanded their money back in the past. We never saw her again over the next 3 days. We were sent to our room with a couple of extra coffee packs and that was it. We had to wash out our styrofoam coffee cups each day as we were only provided with one each for the 3 days we were there. There was no common sitting area in "the inn", the trash was not emptied (nor were we provided with information as to where to dispose of it on our own), the sink and tub were rust stained, the hallway had a stinky fake country apple mister that went off every 15 seconds. Thank goodness there was a fan in the room to help move that stink out. No breakfast nor muffin here.
Don't call yourself an inn and charge 90 bucks a night. Call yourself a boarding house and you could get away with 50 a night.
Having been to the Acadia region over a dozen times- the geography is the thing so we had a great trip and I wasn't going to let this get me down. I just don't like to be taken, and taken with a passive-agressive smile. Bad vibe.
