Founded in the 18th century, this picturesque village sits along the shores of Somes Sound, a stunning fjard that cuts through the island, offering breathtaking water views and a peaceful atmosphere.
Somesville is known for its iconic white footbridge, a favorite photography spot that spans a tranquil mill pond, reflecting the village’s postcard-perfect beauty. The town is rich in history, with the Somesville Museum & Gardens preserving its legacy as the first European settlement on the island.
Despite its quiet, residential nature, Somesville is centrally located, providing easy access to both Acadia National Park and the surrounding towns of Mount Desert Island.

Summary: Perfect spot for the two of us right in the middle of Acadia. Everything was very clean and comfortable and the kitchenette was stocked up! We would love to come back.

Summary: The studio is clean and in a great location to access Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. As described in other reviews, the ceiling is slanted and walls are thin. My husband bumped his head a few times and we could hear children playing in the other units. These two items did not hinder our experience.

Summary: Great accommodations with parking, accessible, nicely decorated, small but just enough for two. Only complaint is the noise from neighboring visitors. Would recommend to others.

Summary: We enjoyed our visit at the Zen Den. Location was great and it is nicely appointed for a small space. We did however find the slanted ceiling a challenge and bumped our head several times a day. That said, the host makes the most of the space and otherwise we had a nice stay!

Summary: The space is beautifully designed, combining modern amenities with cozy touches. It was very clean and the location couldn't have been better—nestled in a peaceful area, yet just a short drive to Acadia National Park and local attractions. The hosts were also fantastic, providing clear communication and thoughtful touches.

Summary: The apartment is spotless very chic UpToDate with everything. It is tiny but perfect for those who want to be outdoors all day long like us. My only problem was the noise it is situated right along a busy road and it took some time to get used to the cars

Summary: The location is really great for visiting both sides of the island. Quick drive to almost everything. The space is likely more accommodating for shorter/smaller guests, as I am a 6' male and I bumped my head a few times on the angled ceiling. Was in no way a deal breaker, however this limited my ability to stand tall in about 50% of the space. Great amenities with full service free laundry downstairs. Felt very safe and enjoyed the stay! Unfortunately, other guests did not respect the trash policy and dumped food and other waste directly into the bins outside, which smelled bad. I also think it would be nice if the yard space was a shared space, as I didn't see anyone taking advantage of the space during my stay, yet it was off limits for the zen den visitors. I think making the yard a shared space would encourage socializing and make for a more enjoyable experience.

Summary: Great stay. Had all the amenities we could need. Nice quiet and peaceful spot away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area but an easy drive to and from.

Summary: My partner and I came to Bar Harbor to hike, bike the carriage roads, and have a comfortable clean place to rest each night. This property is perfect for travelers planning to be out and about most of their stay. Perfectly sized for two and has just what you need. Very helpful to have washer/dryer in site. You can grab laundry detergent from the gas station just down the street. Great communication. Very clean. Will definitely be back again.
