Our group enjoyed so many features of your property....location, views, comfort and fast response from the owner! We even talked about when we return to Maine would we stay here again and the answer was YES!

Next time we will plan to stay longer! Everything was perfect!

The house was wonderful and the view was awesome! Fishing from the kayaks was a plus! Area hikes were close by. Traffic noise on the main road was a downer but once in the house or on the dock one did it notice. Great place for memories!

This property is somewhat centrally located on MDI, and gives you easy access to trails, lakes and mountains. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, plus there is a common bathroom on the main floor. There are plenty of nice quality, thick towels, as well as small size shampoo, conditioner, and soap in each bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped, and the living room is very comfortable. The mattresses are firm, and the pillows very comfortable. We really enjoyed the wildlife that we saw right in the back yard. There is a mink living in the stones behind the library, and we had 2 adult and 2 juvenile bald eagles visit on 2 occasions. Numerous ducks and seagulls bathe in the water at low tide. The star gazing is excellent from the back deck (turn off the house lights). We did not have the best weather for our visit, but the choices of things to watch on the TV seems endless. We also put together one of the puzzles, and drove around the Park Loop Road to get an idea of what activities we wanted to do. The Island Explorer picks you up right at the library next door if you want to explore the island that way. Highly recommend the e-bikes - we rode for 22 miles on the carriage roads and it was a lot of fun. You also will not find a more friendly and responsive host than Robard. He responded very quickly to all of my questions and was very helpful to us during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely property. Thank you, Robard, for sharing your property with us!

Lovely home, property and very gracious host Robard, who was not only pleasant, but also very responsive to some minor issues we inquired about. We elderly grandparents stayed in the lower level area. The stairs going up to the second floor were a little steep for us, but our son and family really enjoyed the privacy of having their own sleeping level, as did we. We will return to this private retreat as the kayaks and paddle boards provided beckon us to do so. Somes Sound is so very peaceful and soothing. And the family of 3 Bald Eagles left a lasting impression in our granddaughters’ hearts.

Robard was an excellent host and responded very quickly to any issues or concerns. The house was impeccably clean, with all the spices you would ever need for cooking including soft drinks, water and bags of various chips. The kitchen had the best view of the water when preparing food with 2 refrigerators, what a plus. The location was right on the Somes Sound with views everywhere including mother nature; eagles, hawks, geese, ducks, and of course sea gulls. The eagles and hawks were always there during low tide standing on rocks right in front of the home within 20-30 feet; it was just like the wild wild world of animals. The house is minutes away from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Hiking and shopping is great as well as lobster rolls. Our family of 6 and one little one had lots of room to relax in the very spacious home.

Our family of 4 had the most incredible stay at this beautiful home, which is perfectly appointed, immaculate and cozy, and nestled on the Somes Sound, so you have incredible, clear tidal water right at your backdoor and all the gorgeous landscape and animals that come with Maine: bald eagles, ducks, geese, alewives, deer. The property is tucked between a library and art gallery (both magnificent), which makes it all the more special, with an adjacent Somesville waterfall moving at all times, connecting various waterways and providing such a soothing environment outside. Somesville itself is a teeny community that makes you feel like you've stepped into a Robert Frost poem, yet only a few minutes away to Acadia and Bar Harbor, as wells as a bunch of fun spots for meals, hiking, sightseeing, shopping, etc. We fell in love with this special, idyllic place and know you will too.

We had a fabulous time at this beautiful home in Somesville. It was like a National Geographic show every single day: bald eagles, seals, geese and goslings, osprey, and the rise and fall of the tide. The home was well-equipped, and the beds and couches were very comfortable. The living room was a great place to watch movies in the evening. The location was perfect for visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia daily. Our favorite meals were The Travelin Lobster for THE BEST lobster roll, Abel's for whole wood-fired lobster, and Jeannie's Great Maine Breakfast. We would love to come and stay here again!
