About this property

PLEASE REVIEW the cancellation policy specific to Somes Harbor House: Once the online Reservation Request becomes fully executed and payment has been made, should the Tenant be unable to occupy the rental property for any reason except the fault of the Lessor, the Tenant is responsible for the full rent. If the Knowles Company and/or the Lessor can sublet the premises for the same period covered by the lease agreement to another Tenant, monies received from the second rental will be paid first to the Lessor to fulfill the balance of the original lease. The remainder, if any, will be paid to the original Tenant as partial or full reimbursement, less The Knowles Company commission.

Located off the main road in the historic town of Somesville providing central access to Mount Desert Island, making it perfect for those who want to explore Acadia National Park, Southwest Harbor, Northeast Harbor, and/or Bar Harbor. Just five minutes away you will find both Long Pond and Echo Lake for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, motorized boat access, and enjoying a day at the beach.

FIRST FLOOR: Kitchen area with granite countertops and cooktop stove. French doors open up into a cheerful Dining Room. Half bath, and a bright and sunny comfortable living room space with access to a spacious private deck.

SECOND FLOOR: Up the stairs will lead you to two charming bedrooms, one with a Full bed and the other a King. Shared between both bedrooms is a beautifully designed full bath with a shower/tub combination.

OUTDOOR SPACES: Enjoy the peacefulness of the private backyard and the pleasant back deck with peeks of water views.

AMENITIES: Well-appointed kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, and other common kitchen appliances, high-speed internet, satellite and internet TV, washer and dryer, air conditioning, and a propane grill.

NOTE: Due to its location on the main road connecting the north and south ends of the island, there is a fairly steady stream of cars traveling past the house at 25 mph. Although a long fence and shrubbery between you and the road create a nice sense of visual privacy, some background road noise is to be expected.

Comfortable, Clean, and Private

Despite being on on one of the Island's main routes, the house feels fairly secluded due to the large yard and surrounding trees. The front bedroom does get some road noise, though I didn't find it to be an issue and the beds in both rooms are comfortable. Being centrally located, nothing on the island is too far away. The only drawback is that parking in Bar Harbor itself can be tough depending at certain times. At least 2 of Acadia's carriage road entrances are also within a 15-20 minute bike ride.

Mount Desert Island Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at the Somes Harbor House. Great central location, very comfortable and charming house. Loved the back deck and our dog enjoyed it as well. There was an apple tree on the corner of the property and we saw a buck one morning enjoying the fallen apples. Short drive to all the great adventures on MDI. There was some street noise but was fairly warned in the listing and homeowners had solutions. A+ experience.

Great Property

Absolutely enjoyed our stay at this house. The property was very clean, and had many supplies to make it feel more like home. The information binder was very helpful for settling into the area. Great central location a short drive from shops, restaurants and Acadia. We would not hesitate to stay at this property again if we are in the area.

Perfect

It was a good location to all the park. A very cute old New England home. There was a problem with a window A/C unit still in place which was causing cold air into the bedroom, however as soon as I told the property manager they came and took it out. Very fast response. We really appreciated it.
