We had the most lovely stay! The cabin and view exceeded our expectations, along with the prompt and friendly welcome. We brought kayaks and paddle boards and spent loads of time on the sound, enjoying the wildlife and peaceful setting. It was easy to launch right from the beach, even for our kids (ages 8, 10, 13, 15). The fire pit by the water was the perfect way to wind down each night as the sun set. The location is central to everything, especially our favorites (Echo Lake, Acadia Mountain, Beech Hill Farm!). The house was clean, well stocked, and the hosts were great. We can’t wait to return next summer!

The host checked in and made sure our trip was going well. The home, the accommodations were wonderful. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable; after long days of hiking in Acadia, this made rest so much easier. The picture window overlooking the sound was the favorite part of our morning.

Great cabin

Loved staying at John’s cabin. It’s in a beautiful location and just a few minute drive from all the beauty Acadia has to offer. I wish I could have stayed longer. It was such a relaxing retreat for me and my friends.

We enjoyed our stay at Acadia Cove. The view of the water from the living room was beautiful. The kids enjoyed exploring the beach below and the stargazing was great. The house had everything we needed.

Our long weekend at ACC was exactly perfect. The cabin is beautifully designed, decorated simply, and had above and beyond what we needed. The water views with the fall trees were breathtaking. The space is very private, and while we noticed there were other properties close when we walked down to the water, we didn’t see or hear other humans for the entirety of our stay. We couldn’t have hoped for a more perfect space or experience, and know it will stay with us for a long time.

Beautiful Getaway on Somes Sound

This lovely cabin directly on the sound has amazing views and easy access to the water should you want to dive in. John, the owner, was super helpful, and he has a paddle board for your use and a great fire pit by the water. We truly enjoyed our stay, including the location, views, great beds, beautiful great room and kitchen. Looking forward to our next stay.

About the host

Host profile image

This new house replaced an earlier vacation home. The property has been in our family since the 1880s and we are related to Cyrus Hall, for which Hall Quarry is named. We have another home on the 9 acre property (not visible from Acadia Cove Cabin) and a family member is usually nearby during the summer rental season.
