This was our third stay in this house, first since the renovations. The home is beautiful, comfortable and everything has been thought of. The deck/dock was relaxing and that is where we spent our time when at the house. It offers amazing views of the wildlife and and the peacefulness of watching high and low tide was perfection. Lastly, the location was spot on. A quick 15 minute drive to all the major attractions of Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor. The host was helpful and always available for questions.

We had a fabulous time at this beautiful home in Somesville.

The home was well-equipped, and the beds and couches were very comfortable. The living room was a great place to watch movies in the evening. The location was perfect for visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia daily.

Small caution to anyone 6'4" and taller - there are beams that my husband had to bend under in the main and lower levels, but not really an issue. Hosts were kind and informative. Highly recommend! ##### Brenda C. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie K.

The expansive windows on each level of the home provided a panoramic view of the Sommes sound waterfront, allowing us to see the coming and going of the tide and fishing birds. We enjoyed a fantastic hike and scenic drive in Acadia National Park, just 20 minutes away. Bar Harbor, also only around 20 minutes' drive, was a great place for a nice meal out. The home itself was warm and cozy, with great heating, 3 spacious bedrooms, a well-appointed kitchen, and a wide-screen TV and great couches for family movie nights. The host, Robard, was incredibly helpful, shoveling show from a late-season snowstorm. The home itself was immaculately clean! We would love to stay in this home again someday! ##### Katie K.

We elderly grandparents stayed in the lower level area. The stairs going up to the second floor were a little steep for us, but our son and family really enjoyed the privacy of having their own sleeping level, as did we. We will return to this private retreat as the kayaks and paddle boards provided beckon us to do so. Somes Sound is so very peaceful and soothing. And the family of 3 Bald Eagles left a lasting impression in our granddaughters’ hearts. ##### Marianne S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leigh W.

We enjoyed 5 wonderful family days in a beautiful home in the heart of Acadia. The home was not only very clean, beautiful, and comfortable, but its location encouraged an active, easy, and pleasant encounter with lots of Acadia wildlife, especially birds, seals, and fish. Top this off with hosts that were eager to help if needed, friendly, communicative, and professional and you get a place that we would return to in a heart beat. We had wonderful views and were near all that was good in Acadia NP. My wife and adult children were very pleased! A+++! Needless to say, I can go on and on about what a great time we had. Our hosts, Mercedes and Robard, were greatly prepared and eager to meet all our needs. This place, location, and hosts make it a big prize winner for a family stay! ##### Leigh W.

Jul 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The most picturesque hamlet Our family of 4 had the most incredible stay at this beautiful home, which is perfectly appointed, immaculate and cozy, and nestled on the Somes Sound, so you have incredible, clear tidal water right at your backdoor and all the gorgeous landscape and animals that come with Maine: bald eagles, ducks, geese, alewives, deer. The property is tucked between a library and art gallery (both magnificent), which makes it all the more special, with an adjacent Somesville waterfall moving at all times, connecting various waterways and providing such a soothing environment outside. Somesville itself is a teeny community that makes you feel like you've stepped into a Robert Frost poem, yet only a few minutes away to Acadia and Bar Harbor, as wells as a bunch of fun spots for meals, hiking, sightseeing, shopping, etc. We fell in love with this special, idyllic place and know you will too. ##### Jennifer H.
