Located off the main road in the historic town of Somesville, providing central access to Mount Desert Island, making it perfect for those who want to explore Acadia National Park, Southwest Harbor, Northeast Harbor, and/or Bar Harbor. Just five minutes away, you will find both Long Pond and Echo Lake for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, motorized boat access, and enjoying a day at the beach.

FIRST FLOOR: Kitchen area with granite countertops and cooktop stove. French doors open up into a cheerful Dining Room. Half bath, and a bright and sunny, comfortable living room space with access to a spacious private deck.

SECOND FLOOR: Up the stairs will lead you to two charming bedrooms, one with a Full bed and the other a King. Shared between both bedrooms is a beautifully designed full bath with a shower/tub combination.

OUTDOOR SPACES: Enjoy the peacefulness of the private backyard and the pleasant back deck with peeks of water views.

AMENITIES: Well-appointed kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, and other common kitchen appliances, high-speed internet, satellite and internet TV, washer and dryer, air conditioning, and a propane grill.

NOTE: Due to its location on the main road connecting the north and south ends of the island, there is a fairly steady stream of cars traveling past the house at 25 mph. Although a long fence and shrubbery between you and the road create a nice sense of visual privacy, some background road noise is to be expected.

    We absolutely loved our stay, it was not only a lovely home but it was in a great location for all of the hiking trails in Acadia or to go to bar harbor. It was also a wonderful home for our dog who got to enjoy the yard and the fenced in portion which was great for letting her out at night and not having to worry about any animals. Overall it was a wonder place to stay and we will definitely be booking again!

    This is such a great house with a perfect location to all the points on Mount Desert Island! The home is comfortable, beautifully decorated, clean, and well-supplied - just as described in the listing. While on a main road, the property is private. There is even a little, fenced-in area where the dog could be let out alone. The backyard is spacious and allows for children and the dog to play. Perfect home; perfect vacation. Can't wait to return again!

    I cannot recommend this property enough! My wife and I stayed here for a week for our one year wedding anniversary, and we had the best time exploring Acadia National Park, MDI, and all it has to offer, and this place was the perfect headquarters for our adventure. First of all, it is right in the middle of MDI (Mount Desert Island), so most major sites are no more than a half hour drive. The most major areas, such as Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Southwest Harbor, and Northeast Harbor, are within 15-20 minutes. As far as the house itself, its absolutely charming. We both fell in love with it as soon as we walked in. It has absolutely everything you need, and you will get plenty of communication leading up to your stay. If you do have any questions, there is a great binder in the living room explaining everything. The bedroom has an extremely comfortable king size bed. I saw some other reviews complaining about the traffic noise, but with the A/C going, and I also had a fan, I didn't even notice it. Even one night that was a bit chillier and we didn't have the A/C going, I still didn't notice it. That being said, if you are sensitive to noise, there is also a white noise machine in the room, and the owners also have a bowl full of ear plugs as well! The backyard is amazing, and we saw a family of deer multiple times!We cannot wait to come back, and again, we cannot recommend this place enough!

    We loved our time here. This house is the perfect distance from Acadia and Bar Harbor. We spent most evenings sitting on the deck and saw lots of wild life, including a family of foxes and a bald eagle in the back yard. Overall, this was a beautiful home with everything. we needed. to enjoy the week! We would stay here again!

    This house was amazing! We had such a great stay. Everything was just like advertised. The location was perfect for visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia. The house was pristine. There were plenty of extra supplies when/if we ran out. We can't wait to stay there again.

    This house really goes out of its way to meet guest needs. I had a very minor hiccup which was addressed immediately and thoughtfully. I could not recommend this place enough!

    What a lovely house and such thoughtful touches! I wanted to stay around Somesville for ease of traveling the quiet side as well as main attractions of MDI. It’s a great location, private, with plenty of parking and the house was comfortable with lots of charm. A great place to stay!

    Husband, myself and our dog stayed in this wonderfully appointed home. Super clean, our host thought of everything we could possibly need. Centrally located we could be in Bar Habor, ANP or Southwest Harbor within 15 minutes. Yes, there is some road noise in the front bedroom, but that subsided as the evening lengthened. We did not feel it was an issue and hope to return to this home again!

    We loved our stay in this older but clean and welcoming home in the beautiful area of Somesville, centrally located to everything on Mt. Desert island. The kitchen and full bath were both large and well-stocked, the living room was spacious with comfortable furniture, and the deck was delightfully sunny in the morning for coffee and shaded in the afternoon. Our dog especially enjoyed the large yard for roaming and play. We used only the front (king) bedroom but had no issue with road noise since the air conditioning window unit muffled sounds. We would definitely stay at this lovely property again on our next visit to MDI.

    We loved staying here with friends, it’s a great location for easy access to the east & west sides of the park. It was super clean and comfortable as well. We appreciated the deck and the small fenced in area for our friends dog. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend to others! You can hear car traffic from the main road, but the location, comfort, and cleanliness of the home is worth it. Thank you for a great stay!

    This is a beautiful, high quality and comfortable house. It was great for our dog as there is a big (unfenced) backyard he could run in and a small fenced in area we could let him out to do his business. We loved our stay and this will be our first choice if we come back to Bar Harbor. The house is next to a well traveled road, with our bedroom being approximately 25' from the road. Even so, we slept great, as well as we ever do at home. During sleeping hours the traffic is light to none. The beds are very comfortable and with a fan on barely noticeable. The people we rented from were also easy to work with and very accommodating. Definitely, recommend staying here.
