Relax & Refresh
Welcome to historic Somesville, Mount Desert Island, Maine
Our cottages are located in Somesville, Maine, a historic village surrounded by Acadia National Park and centrally located at the top of Somes Sound, between Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor.
The Somesville library and bridge are just a short walk from our cottages
We have a post office, library, church, museum, and convenience store, all within walking distance of our property. You can also walk to Acadia Repertory Theatre for live performances, to the library to sit by the ocean, or to Somes Pond for great swimming. We have two lovely acres of lawn and gardens set well back in from our road, peaceful and quiet surroundings often with an eagle or osprey above. Each cottage has its unique features, so we encourage you to look through our photos. Do come visit!
