**Outdoor Sanctuary**

The backyard backs up to the inlet of the Somes Sound. Just outside is the dam where the fish are jumping the ladder to get upstream

You can lounge on a daybed over the stream, or kick your feet up on one of the many outdoor seating areas

A guest favorite, soak in our 7-person hot tub under the stars as you listen to the flow of the stream just 10 yards away

Roast some smores over the firepit and share stories with your group

Finally, cook using the propane BBQ grill or boil some lobsters in the propane-fueled lobster pot and enjoy the meal outside at the table

The hosts are so hospitable and communication was also prompt and clear. You can tell they really took care of the house with the nice touches and decor. It is an old house with a lot of charm so you need to expect some chipped paint, short stairs, etc. The kids loved the theater section! There were plenty of beds for us 12. There was even a sound machine. I appreciated the AC which you don't have in a lot of older houses in Maine. They provided a thoughtful guide with recommendations and had a treat bag waiting for us when we arrived. The location is close to a lot of trails and only 10 to 15 minutes to the entrance of Cadillac Mountain, which was helpful for Sunrise. It was only 15 minutes to Bar Harbor and it was nice to get away from the busy town. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The house was great, spacious and fun. The neighborhood was beautiful, including running water and a walkable And quiet cemetery/brook behind the house. The owners did everything I can imagine to make the home helpful and accommodating, including many small details throughout. It was a great home away from home. The location is very central to Mt Desert Island / Arcadia National Park.
