About this house rental

Heron Pool is a lovely country home privately situated on Somesville Harbor. We just completed a major renovation in 2020 to fully winterize the house, add a solar system, install all new windows, doors and insulation with a new efficient heat pump to heat and cool the house.

Heron Pool is at the end of a long driveway with sweeping views of the harbor and mountains. The property shares a dock with the neighbors. Take in bald eagles, ospreys, loons, seals, deer, and more from the deck. Inside it is tastefully furnished with antiques, overstuffed couches, and plenty of space for your family. The main house has 4 bedrooms, with 2 queen size beds and 4 single beds. There is also a private cottage steps away from the house with a queen size bed and full bathroom. Have lunch in the garden at a teak table set over looking the water, swim off the dock at high tide, kayak the harbor or just snooze in a lawn chair. Bikes and kayaks can be rented locally, and Somes Pond is minutes away and much warmer to swim in than the ocean.

Heron Pool sleeps 10 comfortably and is truly a family home. It is ideal for kids with a wooden swing set, fields and shoreline to explore, all well set back from the road.

If you ever leave the property you can enjoy all that Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, SW Harbor and NE Harbor have to offer. The owner will send you a long list of suggestions for hiking, biking, kayaking or going to have a nice meal or ice cream. You may not be a Rockefeller but you sure can live like one. Make Heron Pool a part of your summer this year and for years to come.

From the property we observed a lot of wildlife, including white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, a bald eagle, osprey and heron. The house was charming, sprawling, light-filled, filled with lovely antiques and a well-supplied kitchen. It was easy to drive into Arcadia Park from the house. We enjoyed riding 3-bikes on the carriage roads, walking atop Cadillac Mountain, hiking along the Ocean Path trail, and walking next door to Acadia Repertory Theater for a play. The farm market at Beech Hill farm was also worthwhile. I hope we’re able to return to this great spot.

This house was perfect for our family girls trip with three generations. The kitchen was very well stocked. Five bedrooms gave us plenty of room to sleep comfortably. There are several sitting areas including a nice sun room and deck. The view was amazing and we enjoyed watching the tide come in and out. Best of all was the location.to Acadia. Great house to create lasting memories!

Beautiful old New England home with a million dollar view of an ocean inlet. Comfortably slept six adults and four children. We saw deer, blue heron, loons and one bald eagle. We had coffee in the Sun room overlooking the water in the mornings and in the evenings we sat on the deck listening to the wildlife. We heard a pack of coyotes, across the inlet, one evening. Short drive to Acadia National park and Bar Harbor. The owner suggested many things to do and great restaurants. Would love to come back and stay longer. Great place.

I chose this property due to the central location relative to Acadia National Park and being on the water. The kids loved fishing off the dock and we enjoyed coffee and drinks on the deck watching the tide changes. The house is so cute but updated. The rooms were perfect for two families of boys and girls as everyone had a nice space for themselves. We used the kitchen to its fullest cooking bacon and eggs as well as baked donuts. Candy was responsive to our questions and very helpful. I would recommend this house to anyone who wants to have an authentic Maine experience!

Great location. Lots of space to move about with the 8 of us. Loved the little cottage on the property which gave my husband and I some quiet from our adukt kids who stay up later than we do!

We had a wonderful stay at Heron Pool. Our family gathering was an opportunity to visit Acadia National Park and this property was a perfect fit. We were so comfortable in this lovely home, so spacious, clean, and well stocked, and the outside shower and use of the dock were icing on the cake. Entrance to Acadia is a breeze, and a trip into Bar Harbor is a hop, skip and jump as well. We all loved the stay! Thank you Robert and Robin for sharing your beautiful home.
