Amazing location and great house. It was stocked with amenities, and the host was super easy to work with. We had a family of 8 and room to spare. I’d highly recommend!

This is a beautiful home. Whoever built it, put a lot of love and thought into the design. It’s extremely comfortable. We were only a party of 3 and we used the master en-suite and the 2 upstairs bedrooms. There was AC in every bedroom and we all slept well. The house is equipped with everything you need, including in the kitchen.The house is a 5 minute drive to the Acadia Mountain trail and we hiked up, clockwise. There are amazing views up there.

This house was beautiful! We loved the location on Somes Sound. It was a short walk down to the water where you could explore the coast a bit. The house itself was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed. The furniture, especially the beds, were great! We happen to be there during some very hot weather. The two upstairs bedrooms have AC but the main level does not. They dropped off a few extra fans that were helpful but it did get warm in the house during those 90 degree days. Other than that, we really loved this house!
