In 1885 during
Bar Harbor's Golden Age, the Bass family built its summer "cottage" in a field overlooking Frenchman Bay. Like many visitors during that era, they came to escape the summer heat of the city, to enjoy the calm forests and salt air of Acadia.
Today, The Bass Cottage
Inn, Bar Harbor welcomes guests who come to
Bar Harbor for exactly the same reasons the Bass family did almost 120 years ago. Newly refurbished, The Bass Cottage
Inn has been reborn as a stylish ten guest-room
inn that amiably blends old and new. Period detail coexists happily with modern comfort and convenience.
The style is fresh and clean with a nod to history but without being overwhelmed by Victorian clichés. With tasteful décor and every attention to detail, the atmosphere is elegant yet casual. The Bass Cottage
Inn is both central and serene -- located in a peaceful enclave minutes from Acadia National Park and just steps from Frenchman Bay, fine restaurants and shopping. Come savor the intriguing contrasts of a gracious
inn that is both old and new. We look forward to seeing you here in
Maine this year.
