Amazing Sound View, located in Hall Quarry, Mount Desert! Hall Quarry is located about halfway between Somesville and Southwest Harbor on Mount Desert Island.
Hall Quarry is a peaceful and serene village that sits nestled in the hills on Somes Sound, the only natural fjard on the East coast and a popular sailing and pleasure boating destination, offering protected deep anchorages and spectacular views all year long.
Sound View is a very spacious, meticulously decorated and a comfortable home away from home set amidst a huge manicured yard, overlooking the most spectacular and amazing ever-changing views of Somes Sound, as well as beautiful Sargent, Bald Peak, Parkman and Norumbega Mountains. Relax in the most private setting while you sip your coffee on your very spacious deck and enjoy the breathtaking views! Watch the deer grazing all around you in the early evenings. Also take in our spectacular Maine Lupine flowering field in full bloom, along your view to the Sound (seasonally, usually Early June). Feel free to cut some to have them fragrant the inside as well.
We are just minutes (2 to 3 miles) to some of Acadia National Park's most popular hiking and biking trails, as well as great swimming at Echo Lake Beach. We are within 8 miles of downtown Bar Harbor and minutes to everything that our beautiful Island has to offer, without having to endure the lack of privacy with downtown properties and the huge crowds and noise from the cruise ship traffic while staying in Bar Harbor.
Sound View has 4+ lovely bedrooms and three bathrooms. It will comfortably accommodate a total of 10 (8 ADULTS / 2 CHILDREN MAXIMUM) due to bed configurations. It is delicately appointed with fine furnishings, upscale real down duvet bedding, linens, & housewares, etc.
This amazing property provides you with everything you could possibly need! The beautiful gas fireplace is a perfect setting for cooler evenings. On the entrance level floor, there is a fully stocked kitchen for the chef in you leading to an open concept living room and sun-room dining area, both with large sliding glass doors to the spacious deck and gorgeous view. Lots of windows throughout allows for wonderful natural light. We just installed a heat pump for heating and cooling, A/C needs in the living room, kitchen, dining area. Into the hall, there is a master bedroom with a king sized bed and a smaller en-suite bathroom, as well as a second bedroom with a queen size bed and a larger bathroom for the main floor to utilize. Both upstairs bedrooms offer a/c and ceiling fans, other fans are available in the property.
Wander downstairs where you will find two more queen sized bedrooms, one leading to what we call the twin room. It has a twin bed and trundle unit (sleeps kids only). Also downstairs is a great office space with a relaxing day bed and then a very spacious recreation room for lounging, watching television on the comfy sofas or playing ping pong or one of the great games we have included. It also has a full bath attached with a tub.
Our glorious views continue from every window. This house is perfect for extended families traveling together or multiple couples. There is a washer and dryer located on each floor for your convenience.

We enjoyed our family vacation - our 5 adult kids and us all had plenty of room and the location was so convenient to all the hiking trails we visited in Acadia, as well as Bar Harbor. The home was clean and comfortable.
The house was perfect for the needs of 6 adults and 3 kids ages 3-16. Great location between SW Harbor and Bar Harbor. Quiet....right near Echo Lake and Acadia hikes, and not far from Long Pond. Supermarket nearby, and great restaurants in both places
Beautiful and spacious property well located for all things Acadia national park. Owners are very friendly and communicative. Big kitchen for cooking and two refrigerators. Check-in and out were smooth.
We loved the house and location but dehumidifier leaked, no shampoo or soap in showers, which is unusual. No dishwasher pods. Great deck and nice to be away from town. Overall very comfortable.
This home was perfect for our family. The view out back is amazing! This home had everything our family needed and more. We very much enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend this house for others to stay in. This house was very close to Acadia National Park and downtown Bar Harbor. We even were lucky enough to see Deer outside a couple of times.
This place turned out to be a great place for our extended family of 9 to stay. It’s about 20 minutes from everywhere on MDI making it a great hub to see everything you want to see.
We had a wonderful time exploring Bar Harbor and the other harbors. The house was beautiful, great view, and very comfortable. We enjoyed our time and will definitely be back
The view is amazing! There were 8 of us staying, 6 adults, 2 children ages 8 and 9. The house was very clean and spacious. There were lots of games for the kids to play both inside and outside. The location was great - close to the entrance of Acadia National Park and not far from Bar Harbor. The upstairs bedrooms were very comfortable. The downstairs queen bed’s mattress sank in the middle a bit. The bunk beds seemed a little unstable so the kids did not want to sleep in them but there was plenty of other places to sleep - a day bed and another queen bed. The laundry facilities both upstairs and downstairs were wonderful. We were there for Thanksgiving and prepared a traditional Thanksgiving meal. There were plenty of pots, pans and dishes. The only tricky park was the can opener was bent and didn’t work. We had s’mores by the fire pit and the long forks were provided! We did stop and pick up a long lighter to get the fire going. We left it there so the next family can get a fire going . It was a perfect place for our family and we had a great time there!
The property was spacious, clean, well-equipped, and exactly as advertised. We were able to easily enjoy the attractions of Mount Desert Island, being centrally located, and had beautiful views and outside dining and entertaining spaces to enjoy the scenery at the house. The neighborhood was very quiet and it was really perfect for a quiet family get-away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
We had a wonderful time! The house was perfect for our family of 4 couples and two small children. We especially enjoyed the back deck and fire pit. We would definitely return to the same place if we come back to Acadia
This house was beautiful and spacious in a quiet setting yet close to everything! We enjoyed every minute and fell in love with Maine! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home!!
Nothing but good things to say. House was fantastic. Even better than the photos. Great location. Spectacular views. Hope to stay there again on a future trip.
Clean, comfortable, cozy. Just far enough away to be private but still close to Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor. Woke up to two deer on the lawn the last morning, which was pretty neat!

About the host
Hosted by Erica Merchant
My husband, myself and our two boys most recently acquired Sound View. My husband and children are all natives to Hall Quarry and I am originally from Massachusetts. We also reside in Hall Quarry, Mount Desert.
Why they chose this property
This property is very near and dear to my husband. It was his grandfather's property originally. It was then passed on to his uncle. A lot of great memories were made gardening and horseback riding with his grandfather when he was young. We were delighted we were given the chance to retain this property within the family.
What makes this property unique
Lots of property both inside and out to stretch out and enjoy!
