We had a wonderful stay! Lots of room in the living and dining room area for us to gather as a family but plenty of bedrooms to spread out for some peace and quiet. Gorgeous view of the pond and lovely babbling brook running through the property!

Great Location
We loved our stay at Somme's Pond cottage, it was such a great location and easy to get to all parts of the island from there. It also had such a lovely view and surrounding area. Everything about the house was as expected and very comfortable.

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!

The cottage looked small from outside but very roomy inside. We enjoyed watching ospreys hunting fish, quiet sounds of streams running right next to the property, and the convenience of being on the island to visit many attractions of the NP. We could make lobster dinner with their huge pots. More than plenty towels were supplied.

Quiet Getaway in Acadia
We were looking for a convenient place to stay while touring Acadia and this cottage was everything we had hoped for. Only a few miles from hiking and biking trails as well as places for kayaking. Restaurants were also within 10-15 minutes in several directions. Would highly recommend it and would stay here again!

Location was fantastic for seeing wildlife (osprey, eagle, loons, deer) as well as ease of getting around the island. Just what we were looking for! Better lighting to play games in the evening would've been nice, and the kitchen could use better knives and skillets, but the beds were comfortable, and the pluses far outweighed the minuses. Would gladly come again!!

Quiet Getaway in Great Location
Our second time at this property! It is centrally located to so much of Acadia. Close to shopping and restaurants in Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor, so many hiking options, right on Somes pond - it's perfect. The house was great for our family of 4.

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.

Peaceful nature paradise
The location and setting of this house is amazing! So quiet, beautiful, and peaceful. Loved falling asleep to the sound of the babbling creek right outside the window. The house is very comfortable and it feels like a home, not just a rental. Grocery shopping and restaurants are about 10 minutes away which made it very convenient after spending active days hiking and sightseeing!

Absolutely loved being on Somes Pond in this home. Everything was wonderful - clean, spacious, linens and kitchen fully stocked. This is a peaceful location yet close to everything you want to do in Acadia and Bar Harbor. We definitely will be returning. Large home with plenty of space and spectacular view. There is nothing I would change. It was perfection.

Wonderful location. A little challenging to find . Amazing view and full of nooks and crannies where you can read a book or work on a puzzle. The stream is right near the house and amazing to hear as you drift off to sleep. The kitchen is small but well equipped. Hope to return soon!

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.

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.

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.

Great location on the pond
Beautiful location on somes pond. We arrived to a hot house and the manager came out with fans and a small window air conditioner was set up. The AC unit was amazing which kept the house comfortable the entire week stay running at night. Rent canoe 1/2 mile from house. Half price is at 5pm. Beehive trail get there early as it is person to person up the iron rungs (scary). Use the bus system and park at visitor center for the only free parking. Beautiful island and home.

Great property could use a few things to make perfect
The house was great, beautiful property and views/wildlife amazing. Kitchen was well stocked and linens plentiful. We saw a deer and many birds. Some things could be improved though. The mattresses upstairs could use updating. The king bed upstairs is very soft, in one of the twin bedrooms the beds are rock solid, and the other twin bedroom the mattresses are squishy (may not even be real mattresses). The upstairs bathroom has a tiny tall tub. The exterior light was not working/connected. The downstairs bathroom could use curtains so that if people are using the bathroom the people in the driveway cannot see you. We had a great stay. Switches and outlets are quirky. These things did not ruin our stay but some improvements could help others.

A 5 Star Review for a 5 Star Cottage
This home is amazing! This spacious 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home was everything we'd hoped for and more. Having been hikers to this island for many years (and generations), we've stayed in many locations and Somes Cottage tops them all. We were greeted with impeccable cleanliness. There are large windows facing the pond so you get amazing views from anywhere in the house. The babbling brook behind the house attracts all sorts of wildlife and, turkeys, herons, ducks, and geese visit the pond each day. The location is central to anything you may want to go and do - hiking, kayaking, dining out, shopping, etc. And there were many amenities included that we enjoyed - rocking chairs for reading, board games for rainy days, a washer/dryer on site, large comfy beds, a fully stocked kitchen, etc. Overall, a fantastic stay, and we can't wait to return!

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.
