Cabin in the Woods
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!

A great location!
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.

Great location
The location and views were great. The property needs to be maintained. When we walked in there was a cob web going from the window to the refrigerator, about 12”. Not a good first impression. The bedrooms had cobwebs coming off the beds. They stress to read the guest book immediately but it is outdated. The directions for trash how to use the tv etc have old and new directions together, and directions for items that do not work like the fireplace. The cable and internet was out when we arrived. I contacted Susan who looked into the cable and there was an outage. The internet was never addressed and we were without internet the entire time. This was inconvenient for people who had to work remotely. Most of the outlets upstairs do not work. This would be a great rental if a little more effort was put into maintenance.

Somes Pond Island House
We selected this property in order to be on Mt. Desert Island in a quiet and scenic location. It met this criteria. The property has been owned by the same family since 1962, probably passed down a generation or two. It is gradually being renovated. Some areas, such as the combo first floor bathroom/laundry room were in pristine conditions. Other areas showed their age or were awkward to use. We were able to cope. The property manager responded quickly to help if we had questions. The home was lovely to return to after a day of hiking.

wonderful place to stay
we've stayed in a myriad of places on MDI and this was one of our favorites. on a lake, canoe/kayak rental half mile down the road, for Long Pond. great location for getting to all parts of the island easily. house located back from the road, in beautiful mossy woods, "babbling brook" running past--a great sound "backdrop." very responsive rental agent. the slanted eaves in 2 of the 4 bedrooms might be a problem for tall guests. in general a very comfy house, with a long dining room table and plenty of views of the lake from the living/dining area (large--with long dining room table) and back deck.

Beautiful property
This is my honest opinion about the property in general. We had a great time overall! Pros: Great location-babbling brook, pond and marshes Plenty of towels and extra blankets First floor bathroom was gorgeous! Huge windows provide amazing views Kitchen had utensils and cookware Plates, bowls and mugs were adorable! Carpeting upstairs was nice House was fairly clean (cobwebs here and there) The property managers were phenomenal and wonderfully helpful!! Gave us good recommendations on places to eat! The 2 larger bedrooms had large comfortable beds! Cons: 2nd floor small bedrooms and bathroom has a slated ceiling which is cute but hard on the head when you’re not used to it. The two smaller bedroom beds were uncomfortable. 2nd floor shower has a VERY deep tub to step into making it awkward. The driveway is primitive and tricky to turn around when there are 2 cars. Large ants were found crawling around occasionally in the house. The house is quaint but outdated in some ways. A little bit of updating would really make it more modern and more comfortable. Bring your mosquito repellant. We did not use the grill because of the mosquitoes. Overall, we enjoyed our stay! We appreciated the property managers quick and helpful text messages.

Wonderful stay!
Although we had to cut our reservation short, the property was absolutely lovely. It is exactly what you would want for a family vacation. The sounds of the creek and the view of the marsh are spectacular. The house is comfortable, clean, and provides all the necessities. Susan was also extremely communicative and helpful during our stay.

Rustic Cabin with a Phenomenal View
Great location that gives easy access to both sides of Mount Desert Island as well as off-Island activities. The back deck overlooking the lake makes it all worth it. We watched a family of Osprey as the parents hunted for the young. One morning a couple of minks showed up in the stream, and a Barred owl seemed to make its home in the woods next to the driveway. House itself could use a little TLC, but based I’ll take that in trade for the location and the cost.

Fantastic stay!
We had a fantastic stay at the Somes Pond cottage. The surroundings are truly beautiful. The pictures don’t do it justice! We definitely want to come back next time we’re in Acadia.
