Angela and her family keep the property in top shape, including making significant improvements (we loved the new carpeting this year!). The location is ideal, and we look forward to returning every year. We feel very fortunate to be able to spend time here. Thanks to Angela for the great communication and warm welcome! ##### K b.

We loved our stay at this beautiful cabin. Perfect for our family of four that doesn’t mind sleeping in one big room. The views are incredible and you’re able to see seals right off the deck! It’s in a great location minutes from Bar Harbor and Northeast Harbor. The host was incredibly responsive and even greeted us in person our first day there.

The Nub House feels private and tucked away, with beautiful views of Somes Sound (sunsets are particularly spectacular), while being close to everything on MDI. The house was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked, and the property owner, Angela, communicated well. We couldn't have asked for a better base from which to explore Acadia NP and the island, or a better place to relax at the end of the day. ##### Thomas B.

This was our second year at the Nub house, and we loved it as much (or more) than the first. The location is perfect--an amazing view, nice breezes, and lots of quiet and privacy. The house is thoughtfully equipped--we cooked most of our meals there, either in the kitchen or on the grill--and the washer and dryer are a nice amenity. We would happily be back again, and again...this is such a neat house, minutes from great hiking, biking, kayaking! ##### Sean T. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate D.

We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoons on the deck after a morning of exploring. It was calm, quiet and a perfect oasis to recharge before heading out again. The house has a nice cabin feel and is perfectly appointed with all of the things you need. The stairs to the loft are a bit steep for young children (ours are 5 & 3), but we managed just fine. We will definitely be back to enjoy all of the beauty MDI has to offer! ##### Kate D. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Collin L.

It is soo cozy for those cold autumn nights, with a wood stove and comfy couches. And the views/sunsets from the deck over the sound on a clear day are one of a kind. Would love to come back here with a family or friends since there are beds for many more than just the 2 of us. Angela was very thoughtful and checked in with us when we arrived. She even left us bouquets of flowers, a few bottles of bubbly, and other snacks for our stay. So sweet! ##### Collin L. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa N.

The home is located in a beautiful wooded landscape with the ocean right off the deck. Our four children enjoyed the freedom of exploring the rocky coast and discovering sea creatures at low tide. The cottage was incredibly clean and stocked with everything we needed. Angela was so kind, helpful, and quick to respond when we had a question. The home is a great location to explore both sides of MDI…the bustling Bar Harbor/Acadia and also the quiet side towns. The loft with bunks and desk area was fun for the kids. We enjoyed the creative design of the home which is a true wonder of wood! We would love to stay again. ##### Melissa N. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rob L. Oct 21, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful location and very friendly host The location is almost as good as it gets if you want to be right near the national park as well as close to Bar Harbor for shopping, food, etc. The views, all day long are pretty and peaceful. We did a lot of hiking, biking and eating. The home itself is odd and Angela is more than willing to admit that. It's like someone took the 1970s and gave it a little nudge with an Internet connection. It's not that things were were broken or unusable, more that it felt like they were young antiques :). It was almost anachronistic. You have to see it to understand. We were only two people so there was more than enough room. I think it would've been fine for a family of 4-6 and stretching it for much more. If you don't mind not having a microwave or a TV (the listing says there's a TV but not that we saw), you'll be fine. The host is incredibly nice and acts as I would if I were a host; as a friendly person providing a home for people to enjoy, rather than being a stiff landlord. We had nice conversations with her on the way in and on the way out, ##### Rob L. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean T., Potomac, MD, USA Jul 24, 2018 #### A great house in a great location We (myself, wife, and 4-year old son) had a perfect week staying at the house. The location is ideal--right on Somes Sound, literally overlooking the water. Additionally, it is very convenient to Southwest Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Bar Harbor, and of course Acadia NP. It's definitely quieter in this area of Mt. Desert Island, which makes for a relaxing getaway. The house is comfortable, cozy yet spacious, with enough space for people to spend time together or for someone to curl up semi-privately with a good book. The deck overlooking the water is great! it's big, and ended up more as our 'living room' for the week, since the weather was so glorious. Everything in the house was in great working order--the galley kitchen is very well-equipped and we used it multiple times for breakfast and a few times to cook dinner. For someone who likes to cook, the house is great--the cookware is high quality, the grill is in great shape, and there is a nice selection of knives, utensils, etc. The house was clean, efficient, and very nicely decorated. We loved how private the house was--you could spend a week here in near solitude, but were only minutes away from the National Park and nice small towns. Having stayed in a number of rental vacation homes over the years, we were really impressed by how well-organized the experience was, which made check-in and check-out a breeze. All in all, this is a fantastic place for a family to spend a week (or more), and we look forward to coming back! ##### Sean T. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott W. Sep 24, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Perfect Way to Experience Acadia The property location is absolutely perfect for many reasons…. 1). All trailheads are within 15 minutes. We hiked Beehive, Jordan Cliffs, Beech Cliffs, and South Bubble. 2). Right on Somes Sound so every morning you wake up to an incredible view of the water (I would remove a branch or 2 to open up the view a bit more). It was September so we took one icy dip (Somes Sound Challenge) but enjoyed the rocks and searching for shells and other treasures. 3). Close to all the great Lobster Pounds. Our favorite was C-Rays. The house is small but perfect for our family of 5. The kids (6,9,11) loved having the second floor all to themselves. No rails on bunk beds so they spread out on the 4 ground level beds. Nice bathroom for them on that floor as well. Kitchen is loaded if you like to cook. Only thing missing was a microwave which would help when trying to heat up those amazing lobster pound leftovers. Plenty of games (checkers, backgammon, etc) to stay busy at nights. There is a TV but we never turned it on. Great wood stove in the main family room we used frequently. Kids loved the outdoor deck shower. Plenty of deck furniture, grill, etc. We spent a lot of time in the afternoon enjoying the deck space with a cold beer after the crazy iron rung hikes. Angela was awesome to work with. She left lights on for us as she knew we were arriving after dark and was super responsive to our questions prior and during through email and text. ##### Scott W.

Swimming and kayaking in the Sound within reach of seals is a memory that is really unmatched. The location is incredibly convenient too.

Everything was pristine and the views of the sound were stunning. The location is an ideal combination of remote for relaxing privacy and convenient for short drives into town and Acadia.

Sep 4, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Family stay We stayed at The Nub with our four children. It was the perfect location — a short drive from Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Southwest Harbor, multiple hikes and lakes/ponds. It was also the perfect setting— Sommes Sound is beautiful and the kids loved being in the water. Angela was very helpful in planning the trip and was readily available for any questions we might have. We had such an enjoyable time and look forward to staying again sometime soon! ##### kate m.

The homeowner was clear and pleasant. We hope to return. ##### Carla Y. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Olivia B.

The location in relation to ANP was amazing. Short drive to carriage trails, hikes and all the park had to offer. The deck overlooking Somes Sound was the highlight of the trip! So quiet and peaceful. We rented kayaks and enjoyed paddling all week right from the house. We hope to return to MDI again and will definitely stay at the Nub again. Thank you Angela for letting us rent your fantastic home! ##### Cory F.
