Ocean and Mountain Views of Somes Sound

Fantastic property, clean, quiet, beautiful view, and attentive host. Mount Desert is a truly special place.

What a great relaxing week! Mimi was so friendly and helpful. The cottage worked fine for me and I would definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay and love the view out to Somes Sound. This cabin was perfect for our quick vacation. Thank you, Mimi!

Command Post is the quintessential cabin that offers the best of both worlds: stunning and private view, quiet setting, rustic appeal and all the modern comforts one would want. Upon arrival we found Command Post airy, welcoming, and spotlessly clean. The view of Somes Sound is breathtaking, and within minutes of arrival we were on the back deck enjoying the lovely ambiance and a little light refreshment from the long drive. Mimi is a delightful and accommodating hostess who is quick to offer suggestions of things to do on the “Quiet side” of Mt. Desert Island. Her enthusiasm for the area is palpable! Other things of note: Comfortable king-sized bed with sunrise views (don’t even need to get out of bed!) Fully stocked kitchen (I’m a bit of a kitchen snob and found nothing lacking) Easy to use TV for nightly viewing if desired. Quick access to Southwest Harbor, local hiking trails and Echo Lake

Home away from home! The Command Post was beautiful, and comfortable, and had everything I needed. The view was amazing, watching a sunrise (and moonrise - a first for me) come up over the mountain each day. The area is quiet, and there are great restaurants and hiking trails nearby. It's a very short distance to Park Loop Road. The property owners were absolutely amazing and I really enjoyed getting to meet them. I would definitely go back!

Couldn’t ask for a better stay!! Clean, quiet, beautiful! All the comforts you need, in a location that’s close to everywhere you want to go on MDI.

We could not have asked for anything better. The place was clean, warm, and placed in a perfect spot to enjoy all views. We especially enjoyed the view we had to look down on the water with the mountains in the background. Our hosts were superb. They had shoveled the snow upon our arrival. We felt special.

Comfortable, well equipped cottage with a wonderful view overlooking Somes Sound and the hills on the opposite shore. Bed was very comfortable and you can sit up in bed and admire that view. Kitchen was well equipped with just about any utensil you would need. Very convenient location for exploring the island. Great place for a couple to stay.

Centrally located on Mount Desert island with nice water views. Comfortable place to relax after a day of hiking.

I’ve stayed in different properties in the Hall Quarry area for many years but the Command Post was by far my favorite. The place was impeccable clean and well kept. So much attention was given to utilizing every inch of space and I really appreciated all the storage. The water views are spectacular and I loved waking up every morning to that view! There’s a full kitchen which is great if you want to stay in and cook. I loved having a washer & dryer as well. The cottage is well insulated with a propane fire place that kept the place cozy on the colder nights. All the furniture is very comfortable. I can’t think of a single amenity that I would have wanted that was not already provided. I didn’t get to meet Mimi personally, but she was always available by phone or email and was lovely to work with! I hope to come back someday but it’s so popular that it’s hard to get. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay!
