Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Cozy, fully converted historic barn within easy walking distance to the rocky shore of Bass Harbor, a busy lobstering port. An ideal, pet friendly, home base while exploring Acadia National Park. The Seamist is located on "the quietside" of the island. Six minutes from Southwest Harbor and thirty minutes to Bar Harbor, the Seamist also offers guests private hot tub access!

Two guests maximum, not a suitable space for children. Please keep allergies in mind when booking. No smoking.

The space
Constructed in 1886 and originally used as a barn, The Seamist has a unique layout. The first floor includes the kitchen, living area, and dining table. The second level feels a bit like a loft and features the bedroom and bathroom.

Guest access
The Seamist is connected to a larger house in which the host resides, but everything is separate, including parking and hot tub access. You will have all the privacy you desire inside The Seamist, as well as a small space outside with a seating area.

While the buildings are connected noise is not an issue, no reason to feel the need to be quiet.

Other things to note
Dogs are welcome with no additional pet fee! Acadia National Park is very dog-friendly, and so is this Airbnb.

Air Conditioner is provided June 15th-September 15th.

My husband and I moved to Mount Desert Island, home to Acadia National Park, in 2016 after I graduated from college with my bachelor of science in biology. We have spent the past years exploring all of the beauty and might this little island has to offer. Between the mountainous hikes, soft sunset strolls along the carriage trails, ocean kayaking, whale watching, and sampling the local cuisine we never run out of things to do. The possibilities are nearly endless. We love the fact that we are able to share our beautiful little island with our guests in the Seamist cottage, a fully converted historic barn located in the quiet village of Bass Harbor. Here you will find peace, quiet, gorgeous sunsets over the bay, and access to the only lighthouse on the island. It is a truly spectacular place to live and a wonder to behold for those visiting.
