Amazing place to stay!
The historic house is beautifully kept inside with claw-footed tubs and knooky bedrooms. The "Castle" upstairs is open and spacious and comfortable, with everything you need for your stay! The owners, Bill and Tina, were absolutely lovely, and were also very responsive and accommodating. Their lobsterman son was kind enough to bring us home lobsters to feast on! Amazingly kind...and delicious! It was an amazing stay! We highly recommend staying here! We hope to be back someday! Thank you very much, Bill and Tina (and Todd and Murray;)!!

Quaint, convenient and private
We really enjoyed the stay here in Somesville for our weeklong vacation. The historical home was perfectly located at the center of the island for our family’s various excursions. Everything was only minutes away and we could always stop back to the property between activities. The owners were great and coordinated fresh lobsters via their son. Overall a great stay.

We loved it!
As soon as we walked into the house; our 4 teenage boys exclaimed their love of the house! It was honestly perfect, the Reiff's are so wonderful and the quintessential hosts to boot. They guided us around during our stay and the location of the house was perfect. We hiked Acadia and fished and visited around the Soutwest Harbor and Bar Harbor. After visiting in the town of Bar Harbor we were so happy we stayed a few miles away in Somesville. The house is a gorgeous historic home/inn; super homey yet still chic, and very well cared for! The house contains all the amenities you would want. You will love it! Thank you Tina and Bill! Much love!

Great place to unwind after an adventurous day!
Tina and Bill were great! The house was conveniently located to Acadia National Park (10 minute drive) and local restaurants/eateries. Carriage trails and water activities were within walking distance. Tina and Bill's son (Marshal) provided us with fresh, local lobster...yum! My only criticism would be the air conditioning. It was unseasonably warm during our stay and the unit seemed unable to really keep up. Fans were located throughout the house when we arrived keeping the air moving. I would definitely recommend this place over a hotel if you're looking for a little more elbow room to relax after hiking, biking, swimming, etc. I would stay here again! Thanks, Greg

Wonderful week!
Much is covered in other reviews and the place deserves its high marks! The place was an easy and fun home base for our week in Acadia over July 4th. We loved it and when in the area again, we’ll definitely stay here. It’s next to Somes Sound, we paddled daily in the canoe & kayaks and would see seals and porpoise. A few fresh water ponds and lakes were close for swimming. We biked to a nearby farm for fresh produce & bakery. Bill & Tina are awesome hosts. And, the lobster from their son’s boat was amazing! We hiked & biked all over mount desert island, but found so much fun close to this place! We’ll be back!

Perfect place to stay!
The property is old, but so cute and has so much charm. We had coffee every morning at the patio table and chairs, very nice! We saw deer, a weasel and many birds right on the property, very cool! It’s so close to Acadia National park, maybe a 10-15 min drive. We were able to use the kayaks and canoe in the bay across the street and saw seals, porpoise, and eagles. The boys had fun fishing from the dock area. At low tide you will find crabs at the shore. Lots of fun right at the property! Tina answered every question we had right away and we even got fresh lobster from her son who has a lobster boat! She helped us boil the lobster and we had a great meal at the property! Their dog Murray is SO CUTE and such a good boy, we all loved playing with him. The property was stocked with everything you need, the beds were comfy and there were plenty of places to sit and relax in a quiet spot. We had young adult sons who are very tall, plus teenagers and we all fit just fine! Beautiful property!
