Wonderful place to stay with a beautiful view and beautiful house!

Loved our week on the sound! The owners have attended to every detail in their beautiful home and are very generous with their time and attention!! The house was plenty large enough for the 6 of us, the kitchen is large and has everything you need for preparing any meal. We used the lobster pot a lot! Having the half bath and laundry room is very convenient. The most amazing thing about the house is the view!! We enjoyed relaxing on the beautiful deck, fishing off the dock, seeing jellyfish and seals in the water and watching the tide come in and out. Being in the middle of the island was convenient as we enjoyed visiting every part of it and finding the locals to help with fishing supplies and fresh lobsters and the best places to eat and shop. We enjoyed Pretty Marsh, Long Pond, Southwest Harbor, the Seawall and Echo Lake on the “quiet side” and of course all that Acadia National Park has to offer and downtown Bar Harbor. Sand Beach and the trails around there were our favorite along with Cadillac Mountain. Thank you Mimi and Rick for an amazing stay!!

Beautfil, serene, peaceful.

My family and I have been coming to Hall Quarry, Seaweed for many years and we can't say enough about how beautiful and peaceful it is. Being right on Some Sounds and seeing dolphins come through and other ocean life is just amazing. Having coffee in the morning on the porch of Seaweed is pure joy as is having an evening fire amongst the stars. Mimi and Rick Mooers are wonderful owners of this property and we are so glad we found them. We look forward to returning this year and have chosen to see what the fall time is like at Hall Quarry and the beloved Seaweed. There is so much to do in the area from hiking to walking through Bar Harbor. It is a perfect vacation. Sincerely, Larry and Leona L.

Lovely cabin, extraordinary views, paradise!!!

We've stayed in the "new" Seaweed and it's predecessor for many years. Photos can't capture the panoramic views, smell of the salt air and the sounds of the waves breaking on the rocks. We commonly spot seals, small whales, cormorants and loons. We've watched eagles and osprey fly by. It's such a unique cabin as we often feel like we are not on land, but on the water. It's a beautiful, immaculately clean cabin with everything you'll need. It is close to Acadia and all it's beauty. Mimi and her husband Rick are great hosts, and always help to make our stay special. We can hardly wait to return this summer!

Perfection!

My family has been staying in Mimi & Rick's cottages for years, and every single stay has been amazing. Seaweed is incredible. This beautiful, peaceful setting is like no other. There are gorgeous views of Somes Sound and the surrounding mountains that can be enjoyed from the spacious deck, the picnic/patio area, or any window when indoors. The location is perfect, pretty much central to any spot on the island you would like to explore. The brand new cottage is very well equipped with everything you might need (and more!). It is spacious and modernized while maintaining a very cozy feel. It is kid friendly as well. Mimi & Rick are fantastic hosts, and we look forward to seeing them each year. I highly recommend this cottage! Would not change a thing about it.

Amazing Cabin - Wonderful Family/Owners

This was our second year at Seaweed and our 13th year renting with the Mooers & Musetti Families. We continue to return year after year due to their wonderful hospitality, the beautiful cabin and our love of Acadia. The cabin was rebuilt from the ground up and is such a gem! It is in a nice private location right on the water, with easy access to all Mt. Desert's charms. The property is kept extremely clean and well-maintained. Everything you could need for your visit is there and in perfect working order or comfort-level. The owners, Rick and Mimi are fabulous hosts and you can tell they care a lot about their property as well as the island they call home. I would highly recommend any property rental from this family. We continue to return year after year and start to count down the days to our next visit the day we leave.

About the host

Hosted by Mimi Mooers

Rick, Mimi, Colin and Riley Mooers and also Mimi's mom, Sharon Musetti are the owners of these cabins. Mimi and Sharon have had several years experience running and cleaning cottages. Mimi's husband, Rick, and children, Riley and Colin, have come into the business in recent years but have stepped up and have allowed the rentals to run as family owned and operated.

Why they chose this property

You can sit on the porch and watch seals, porpoises, and loons play in the water in front of the cottage. You are so close to the water, when sitting inside in the living room, you get the feeling you are on a boat, because at high tide you don't see land, and water surrounds you.

What makes this property unique

From the sun coming over the mountains to the spectacular views of Somes Sound, a photo does not give the beauty of the surroundings that Seaweed has to offer.
