Absolutely wonderful!
Everything about our stay was perfect. Somesville is a great location from which to explore the island; our cottage was so cozy, well appointed and comfortable; and our hosts, Merilee and Ken, were two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. We are sad to be leaving, but we know we’ll be back!

Anniversary Trip
This was honestly the best vacation we have ever been on. The cottage had everything we needed and it was very cute. We were able to prepare full meals when needed. MDI is very beautiful and we can't wait to come back and explore more of the beautiful area!

Benefits of the quiet side
Somesville is uniquely situated for access to all that busy Bar Harbor and Acadia NP has to offer. But it’s so much more - laid back, tranquil and beautiful. Host Marilee generously shared that knowledge helping me to enjoy the history and explore natural wonders that best exemplify “the quiet side”.

Our Foggy Stay in Maine
This quaint little cottage was a wonderful home away from home during our foggy week in Maine. It is located on the quieter side of Mount Desert Island but was centrally located for either side of the island. It is deceivingly roomy for two and is equipped for a nice breakfast or dinner when we felt like staying in after a long day hiking. Our host, Marilee, was readily available for advice or anything we needed. I would definitely stay there again.

The best yet
Perfectly equipped, centrally located, cozy, comfy. Pleasant helpful owners. Couldn't ask for more and the location is perfect. Oh, and there were almost daily visits by deer, and on our last day, turkey. We plan to stay there again

Cozy Cottage
Cozy cottage on the quiet side. Minutes from Acadia National Park. Cottage has everything you need to prepare meals and great Wi-Fi. We advise you to have dinner reservations due to employment shortage, otherwise you will not get in. Lovely grounds with visiting deer in the evenings. You will not be disappointed, we look forward to our next visit.

A perfect location
We have rented this cottage twice and loved it. It’s tastefully decorated, the owners are friendly, it’s quiet and private and there’s several great take out restaurants very close by.
