Well equipped in every room including laundry, all kitchen necessities, bedding and towels. Please note that if you have issues with stairs at all this was only down side for one of our family members. Owners very responsive to any questions usually giving answer within minutes. Beautiful outdoor yard with firepit, grill and plenty of seats.

Perfect place for a week at Acadia
We really enjoyed our stay here for our week of exploring Acadia and MDI! The property is only 10-15 minutes from Bar Harbor and the main part of the park, with even quicker access to the quite side of the island and related Acadia attractions! The house certainly has its quirks given it is a historical house originally built nearly 200 years ago, but that only adds to its charm and feel! Bill and Tina were excellent hosts - top notch communication, very friendly, and quick to answer questions/provide any additional supplies needed.

Great stay, great location
We had a great time staying at the Mt Desert House. It is perfectly located right at the center of Mount Desert Island, with easy access to both sides of the island. Bill was a great host as well. We had a minor issue with the door keypad and Bill responded immediately and had it fixed that day. We would definitely stay there again the next time we visit Acadia.

Amazing place to stay!
The historic house is beautifully kept inside with claw-footed tubs and knooky bedrooms. The "Castle" upstairs is open and spacious and comfortable, with everything you need for your stay! The owners, Bill and Tina, were absolutely lovely, and were also very responsive and accommodating. Their lobsterman son was kind enough to bring us home lobsters to feast on! Amazingly kind...and delicious! It was an amazing stay! We highly recommend staying here! We hope to be back someday! Thank you very much, Bill and Tina (and Todd and Murray;)!!

Quaint, convenient and private
We really enjoyed the stay here in Somesville for our weeklong vacation. The historical home was perfectly located at the center of the island for our family’s various excursions. Everything was only minutes away and we could always stop back to the property between activities. The owners were great and coordinated fresh lobsters via their son. Overall a great stay.
