Just what we were looking for! Better lighting to play games in the evening would've been nice, and the kitchen could use better knives and skillets, but the beds were comfortable, and the pluses far outweighed the minuses.

We enjoyed watching ospreys hunting fish, quiet sounds of streams running right next to the property, and the convenience of being on the island to visit many attractions of the NP. We could make lobster dinner with their huge pots. More than plenty towels were supplied. ##### Akiko C. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Wendy V.

The property was exactly as advertised on VRBO. Great location just close enough to the amenities of Bar Harbor but a wonderfully quiet location in Mt. Desert. The sound of the flowing stream nearby is great to fall asleep to. Sunrise over the pond is spectacular. The mamagement company is great to deal with. They are very responsive and thorough informing you about the check-in, check-out process. Would definitely recommend this property as a vacation rental. ##### Nick L.

So quiet, beautiful, and peaceful. Loved falling asleep to the sound of the babbling creek right outside the window. The house is very comfortable and it feels like a home, not just a rental. Grocery shopping and restaurants are about 10 minutes away which made it very convenient after spending active days hiking and sightseeing! ##### missy p.

We arrived to a hot house and the manager came out with fans and a small window air conditioner was set up. The AC unit was amazing which kept the house comfortable the entire week stay running at night. Rent canoe 1/2 mile from house. Half price is at 5pm. Beehive trail get there early as it is person to person up the iron rungs (scary). Use the bus system and park at visitor center for the only free parking. Beautiful island and home. ##### Jamie Y.

Sep 17, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay in Acadia We had a great stay at the Somes Pond Cottage. Traveled with my 1 and 4 year olds. Having extra bedrooms for the boys makes a big difference when we travel. The house is an adorable cottage in the woods. The house is older and could use some updates however was overall clean, well stocked and exactly what we were looking for during our Acadia trip. The living space was bigger than we expected and the couch looked recently upgraded. As for traveling with kids, we found this house reasonably safe for a 1 year old to wander around. We only had to move a few decorative items. There is a set of carpeted stairs inside. We brought a baby gate which was a little tricky to work with the stair configuration however it stayed up and deterred the 1 year old from climbing repeatedly. We brought a lock for some of the kitchen cabinets which was a big help. My 4 year old loved exploring the stream outside. We also were able to bring our dog along! 15 minute drive to Bar Harbor and 25 minute drive to Sand Beach and most of the Acadia hikes. ##### Kelly C. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Carrie M. Jul 4, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Beautiful property This is my honest opinion about the property in general. We had a great time overall! Pros: Great location-babbling brook, pond and marshes Plenty of towels and extra blankets First floor bathroom was gorgeous! Huge windows provide amazing views Kitchen had utensils and cookware Plates, bowls and mugs were adorable! Carpeting upstairs was nice House was fairly clean (cobwebs here and there) The property managers were phenomenal and wonderfully helpful!! Gave us good recommendations on places to eat! The 2 larger bedrooms had large comfortable beds! Cons: 2nd floor small bedrooms and bathroom has a slated ceiling which is cute but hard on the head when you’re not used to it. The two smaller bedroom beds were uncomfortable. 2nd floor shower has a VERY deep tub to step into making it awkward. The driveway is primitive and tricky to turn around when there are 2 cars. Large ants were found crawling around occasionally in the house. The house is quaint but outdated in some ways. A little bit of updating would really make it more modern and more comfortable. Bring your mosquito repellant. We did not use the grill because of the mosquitoes. Overall, we enjoyed our stay! We appreciated the property managers quick and helpful text messages. ##### Carrie M. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Tracy L. Jul 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great property could use a few things to make perfect The house was great, beautiful property and views/wildlife amazing. Kitchen was well stocked and linens plentiful. We saw a deer and many birds. Some things could be improved though. The mattresses upstairs could use updating. The king bed upstairs is very soft, in one of the twin bedrooms the beds are rock solid, and the other twin bedroom the mattresses are squishy (may not even be real mattresses). The upstairs bathroom has a tiny tall tub. The exterior light was not working/connected. The downstairs bathroom could use curtains so that if people are using the bathroom the people in the driveway cannot see you. We had a great stay. Switches and outlets are quirky. These things did not ruin our stay but some improvements could help others. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dd5429b4-c01f-44eb-af9f-57bcf3076b4b-1751577296990.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/413a05a7-a229-46cb-9f62-5e359d85cf9e-1751577301923.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/08612c44-100d-4810-bdcd-433090c17857-1751577309078.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/29fbda5f-a454-4b6a-8f67-134b70277b3e-1751577308583.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tracy L.

The property needs to be maintained. When we walked in there was a cob web going from the window to the refrigerator, about 12”. Not a good first impression. The bedrooms had cobwebs coming off the beds. They stress to read the guest book immediately but it is outdated. The directions for trash how to use the tv etc have old and new directions together, and directions for items that do not work like the fireplace. The cable and internet was out when we arrived. I contacted Susan who looked into the cable and there was an outage. The internet was never addressed and we were without internet the entire time. This was inconvenient for people who had to work remotely. Most of the outlets upstairs do not work. This would be a great rental if a little more effort was put into maintenance. ##### Lisa Z.

It met this criteria. The property has been owned by the same family since 1962, probably passed down a generation or two. It is gradually being renovated. Some areas, such as the combo first floor bathroom/laundry room were in pristine conditions. Other areas showed their age or were awkward to use. We were able to cope. The property manager responded quickly to help if we had questions. The home was lovely to return to after a day of hiking. ##### Gwyned T. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lee M.

The back deck overlooking the lake makes it all worth it. We watched a family of Osprey as the parents hunted for the young. One morning a couple of minks showed up in the stream, and a Barred owl seemed to make its home in the woods next to the driveway. House itself could use a little TLC, but based I’ll take that in trade for the location and the cost. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ali W.

The pictures don’t do it justice! We definitely want to come back next time we’re in Acadia. ##### Ali W.
