Our second time at this property! It is centrally located to so much of Acadia. Close to shopping and restaurants in Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor, so many hiking options, right on Somes pond - it's perfect. The house was great for our family of 4.

We had a wonderful stay! Lots of room in the living and dining room area for us to gather as a family but plenty of bedrooms to spread out for some peace and quiet. Gorgeous view of the pond and lovely babbling brook running through the property!

We were looking for a convenient place to stay while touring Acadia and this cottage was everything we had hoped for. Only a few miles from hiking and biking trails as well as places for kayaking. Restaurants were also within 10-15 minutes in several directions. Would highly recommend it and would stay here again!

Beautiful location on somes pond. We arrived to a hot house and the manager came out with fans and a small window air conditioner was set up. The AC unit was amazing which kept the house comfortable the entire week stay running at night. Rent canoe 1/2 mile from house. Half price is at 5pm. Beehive trail get there early as it is person to person up the iron rungs (scary). Use the bus system and park at visitor center for the only free parking. Beautiful island and home.

We loved our stay at Somme's Pond cottage, it was such a great location and easy to get to all parts of the island from there. It also had such a lovely view and surrounding area. Everything about the house was as expected and very comfortable.

We booked this wanting to stay in a quaint cabin in the woods and that’s exactly what this was! The kids loved exploring the creek and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Thank you for providing the setting for some amazing memories!

The property was exactly as advertised on VRBO. Great location just close enough to the amenities of Bar Harbor but a wonderfully quiet location in Mt. Desert. The sound of the flowing stream nearby is great to fall asleep to. Sunrise over the pond is spectacular. The mamagement company is great to deal with. They are very responsive and thorough informing you about the check-in, check-out process. Would definitely recommend this property as a vacation rental.
