About this farm stay rental

The Captain's Retreat farmhouse is located smack in the middle of Mount Desert Island in historic picturesque Somesville which is conveniently located to all of ACADIA National Park highlights! You can be hiking on a park trail, swimming in Echo lake, kayaking on Long Pond or enjoying a live performance at the Acadia Repertory Theatre all within a few minutes drive away! We are 15 minutes to Bar Harbor for whale watching, shopping and nightlife & 7 min to Southwest Harbor to experience a quaint traditional Maine town with local shops, lobster pounds, art galleries and dining. Beech Hill organic Farm is right down the road for ALL the best LOCAL produce, grass fed meats, fresh eggs, maple syrup and more! The farmhouse was purchased in 2017 and it has been renovated/updated to reflect it's original 1920's pristine glory. The farmhouse is on 3 acres with lots of wild blueberries you can pick in season and fun to explore! BRAND NEW 6 ft. cedar fence has been installed across the front of the property and a generator that powers the whole farmhouse for any island outages. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs and 1 full bathroom. On the main level is the the huge sunny farmers kitchen, dining room, living room and 1 full bathroom. You can relax or play on the large lawn, pick local blueberries in the woods or watch wildlife over Denning Brook all on property. EVERYTHING is BRAND NEW in the home.....from the pottery barn living room furniture, super comfortable beds with fine linens/quilts, plush egyptian cotton towels, chef quality cookware, a gorgeous french country dining table that seats 8....... all the comforts of a home....this not your typical rental cottage with saggy furniture and worn towels. Come experience a quintessential New England farmhouse on your well deserved vacation! Relax in style after a day in the park, enjoy a traditional lobster boil, make smores at the outdoor solo fire pit or gaze at the stars from the hammock. A bright sunny farmers kitchen with new appliances with a center island that can seat 6 is a great place to gather while cooking or morning coffee. Come savor all that Mount Desert Island has to offer from sunsets on Cadillac Mountain, sailing on Somes Sound, popovers at the Jordan Pond House, horse drawn wagon rides on the carriage paths, picnics at Sand Beach, and so much more!!! Well mannered dogs welcomed on case by case approval basis. Caretaker is located on property in the carriage house with separate entrances from the farmhouse and delighted to assist you in any manner and share their “secret spots on MDI” as well as give you complete privacy while you experience your dream vacation on Mount Desert Island!

This house was great and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Kids ages 11/9/5 enjoyed the house. They loved the little loft area in the bedroom for some quiet time and a little secret hideout. Kitchen was great for cooking our lobster and seafood dinners. We love to cook and the kitchen was well equipped. Outdoor space was relaxing and it’s own little retreat. We enjoyed the fresh blueberries on the property. Location was perfect for easy access to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and lake access for paddle boarding. One of our best vacations to Maine yet. Thank you for letting us stay at this beautiful home.

This older ‘farmhouse’ is well maintained, well appointed and very comfortable. Everything about the property is charming. The owners live in the attached “carriage house” and are absolutely respectful of guests’ privacy. You have full access to the beautifully landscaped yard with solo stove for evening fires, comfortable chairs and picnic table for alfresco dining or relaxing. I would give this property 5+ stars except for one problem issue. The property is located on the main road to Southwest Harbor and traffic whizzes by at 50+ mph resulting in considerable traffic noise. During the warm summer nights when you need to leave windows open, we found the level of traffic noise to be disturbing until midnight and again starting up early morning (5 am). On cooler nights, when you can leave the windows closed, and using the “white noise” machines provided in each bedroom, the traffic noise would not be an issue. Other than this one concern this place is 5+ stars all around.

Comfortable home-base for my family. The outdoor area is a wonderful space with plenty of room for my kids to run around. Loved chilling in the hammock and enjoyed grilling outdoors. There’s no a/c but gets cooler some nights. We all had a wonderful stay.

This was an ideal property for our family of 5. We loved being outside of Bar Harbor, but inside Acadia. Elizabeth has left a book full of resources and recommendations. The house was spotless and wonderfully equipped with everything we needed. We also enjoyed the backyard area for grilling and making s’mores on the solo stove. It was a picturesque spot, and we highly recommend Captain’s Retreat!
