The cottage was right on the water! Beautiful views of Sommes Sound. Comfortable cottage, bed was fine. Nice deck. Could you a better couch, tough to get up from the couch for us older folks, younger folks will have no problem though.

We had a great time staying at Simple Pleasures. Location allows easy access to everything on MDI. Being on the water is awesome. Cabin is well-equipped and as pictured. We hope to visit again.

This place was the perfect peaceful spot to end each day with a fire pit, glass of wine, sound of the Loons in the distance and the beautiful view of the Sound. The cabin itself was clean and comfortable and suited all of our needs. My wife and I enjoyed staying here very much and look forward to coming back! Highly recommend!

The cottage is quanit and quiet. Beautiful right on the water.Michael is great to work with too .I love it

A wonderful, clean and quiet stay at Simple Pleasure for 7 days with my husband, son (11) and dog. Perfect home for a smaller sized family. Well equipped kitchen, updated bathroom and bedrooms. All furniture, including deck furniture was newer and comfortable. The kayaks and row boat provided really made my son’s week. Fishing can be done right from the deck at high tide or from the dock when the tide is out. We even went swimming after a long day of hiking in the very cold ocean water. There is a hose behind the house to rinse off our pup. Also the host provided a lot of firewood for the fire pit, so no worries trying to get any. WiFi and direct tv work great. The host also provided ample towels for both the bathroom and beach towels for outside. Overall excellent experience and would definitely recommend this house!

Loved our stay in this charming cottage with idyllic views of Somes Sound. Lots of windows to watch the changing scene (fog, sunlight, or cloud shadows on the water and mountains, boats drifting and birds swimming and diving, rising and falling tide on rocks right up to the cottage) and provide a cool breeze. Cozy, clean and comfortable with unique ambience of private cottage in shipyard/harbor, still accessible to all of MDI. Nearby places and activities we enjoyed: drives to overlooks in Acadia National Park (Cadillac Mtn, Thunderhole, etc), biking along carriage roads (favorites Eagle Lake loop, Jordan Pond and Bubble Pond), shops and eating in Bar Harbor, nature cruise (seals, birds, porpoise, lighthouse) in Frenchman Bay, tea and popovers at Jordan Pond house, hiking and walking nature trails (Jesup trail). Wish we had more time for kayaking, whale watch cruise, lighthouse tours, explore more trails, and biking more carriage roads. We will have to come back! 🤗

My husband and I stayed here last week for a week. We were set to arrive later in the evening and Michael made sure the porch light was left on for us. We had no issues the entire week we were there and it was very peaceful and relaxing. We were mostly there in the evenings and to sleep since we were out and about exploring the National Park most of the time. It was very quiet at night other than the sound of the water and the occasional loon.

Peaceful and Beautiful cottage on Somes Sound. Had everything we needed and was close to Acadia National Park. Saw Otters and heard Loons while we sat by our fire in the evening. Just wonderful!
