Absolutely wonderful!

Everything about our stay was perfect. Somesville is a great location from which to explore the island; our cottage was so cozy, well appointed and comfortable; and our hosts, Merilee and Ken, were two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. We are sad to be leaving, but we know we’ll be back!

Anniversary Trip

This was honestly the best vacation we have ever been on. The cottage had everything we needed and it was very cute. We were able to prepare full meals when needed. MDI is very beautiful and we can't wait to come back and explore more of the beautiful area!

Benefits of the quiet side

Somesville is uniquely situated for access to all that busy Bar Harbor and Acadia NP has to offer. But it’s so much more - laid back, tranquil and beautiful. Host Marilee generously shared that knowledge helping me to enjoy the history and explore natural wonders that best exemplify “the quiet side”.

Our Foggy Stay in Maine

This quaint little cottage was a wonderful home away from home during our foggy week in Maine. It is located on the quieter side of Mount Desert Island but was centrally located for either side of the island. It is deceivingly roomy for two and is equipped for a nice breakfast or dinner when we felt like staying in after a long day hiking. Our host, Marilee, was readily available for advice or anything we needed. I would definitely stay there again.

Ken and I are retired art teacher and theater costume designer. We have owned Hawthorn Cottage since 1980, taking over from Chauncey Somes, whose ancestors settled the island. We have especially enjoyed sharing our love of Mount Desert Island and Acadia with our guests all these years. We hope you will join our large number of returning guests in savoring the best of Maine.
