Historic Somesville, central location for Acadia. Come visit!

Juniper Cottage shares with our home and Hawthorn Cottage two lovely acres in Somesville, a historic village at the heart of Acadia National Park. It is just a short walk to the library, repertory theater, church, museum, and convenience store. Both ocean and lake are within walking distance also. The view from our property is of Cadillac Mountain, across thoughtfully landscaped lawns and gardens. Juniper's screened porch and gas fireplace make it a charming home away in any season. P.S., comfy new blue couch!

Cozy and quiet
Lovely cottage with everything you will need. On the quiet side of MDI, and a short drive to Acadia NP. Plan to buy your major groceries in Ellsworth, then to Beech Hill Farm nearby for the best produce you will ever eat. Wonderful restaurants in nearby Southwest Harbor. If you want a totally relaxing vacation this is the place.

Fabulous!
We enjoyed our stay here so very much. The cottage was as pictured and so clean and well equipped. We bought some groceries and cooked for a few nights, and the kitchen had pots, pans, and all utensils needed for our stay. We did appreciate the A/C unit in the bedroom to keep it cool at night, and the ceiling fan helped circulate the cool air without any problems or feeling it was too hot. The couch was comfortable, and the screened porch was the perfect spot for morning coffee, or an evening cocktail while reviewing our day and making plans for the next. This is not in Bar Harbor, and it took us about 20 minutes to drive there, but we enjoyed the quiet side of the island much more and still had everything we needed. There were maps and activity pamphlets left for us to help decide what to do and where to go. The flowers on the windowsill were a sweet touch as well. If we come back to MDI, we will definitely book here again, or refer to our family and friends. What a gem!

A sweet stay in Somesvile
I loved this light-filled, roomy cottage a half-mile off the main road in the village of Somesville. I had always stayed in Bar Harbor, but when my usual apartment went to long-term rentals this year, I decided it was time for a change. I truly didn't miss being in town, and found this location perfect for the places I like to hike. Everything was as described and well maintained. Fresh flowers were a nice touch. I've already booked for next year and plan to become a regular visitor the second week of June.

Perfect cottage!
Very comfortable cottage with everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Charming decor, comfortable bed, lovely screened porch. Full kitchen made it easy to eat in but location was not far from anything we wanted to do in the National Park or in towns.

Amazing hosts; sweet little cottage
Marilee and Ken were amazing hosts! They were there for any question we had, every item we needed - not that we needed much because they truly had thought of everything! The Juniper is a quaint and roomy little cottage. My only negative take away is the small and very uncomfortable couch was super hard to relax on. Unfortunately it’s time has passed. (A little sectional with a chaise attached would be perfect in that space!) Thank you for having us! We will absolutely be returning. Possibly this fall!

Lucky vacation
Someone's cancellation was our luck. This cottage is perfect. It has everything you need. Very quiet. Best spot is on the porch to enjoy breakfast or read a book.
