Summary: We had the most fantastic stay at The Mount Desert House! Bill and Tina’s home/property was perfect for our family vacation to the Bar Harbor area. The kids were able to play in the yard with their awesome German shepherd, Murray. The outdoor/cookout area was perfect for hamburgers on the grill followed by an evening fire in the fire pit. Bill and Tina were the kindest and most courteous hosts we’ve ever come across in all our years of vacationing. They truly made our stay remarkable! The home had plenty of room to spare for a family of five and it was fully stocked with all the kitchenware essentials, quality bedding, and everything else we possibly could have needed. We were able to spend the day zipping around the local area and then spend very comfortable evenings relaxing in a home that is meant for comfort and enjoyment. Many thanks to Bill and Tina for making our experience in Maine one we will never forget! Cheers!The Peters family-Jon, Amber, Violet, Gibson, and Hazel

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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;)!!

Summary: 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.
