About this property

Oceanfront, Acadia National Park w/ Excellent WIFI on MDI

Year-round modern house near Northeast Harbor, Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor - on Somes Sound, with extraordinary views throughout the house, in Acadia National Park. This thoughtfully designed unique property commands lovely south and westerly ocean and mountain views across Somes Sound. Surrounded by towering pines and affording plenty of privacy, Copper Top is sure to be a rental favorite with its custom woodwork, beautiful furnishings, and comfortable layout. Each bedroom has its own unique benefit--making it easy to decide who sleeps where. Bedrooms are nicely sized with closets, bureaus, seating and very comfortable beds and linens-- and each near a bathroom with powerful shower heads.

We are encourage longer-term rentals and we now have a 2-week minimum during July & August months. Please reach out if interested in a month or longer for the 2024 season. Winter 2023 and into '24 is now more equipped for working remotely w/2 desks, printer and excellent wifi. Updated: We added heat pumps, for bedroom cooling, in 2023.
CopperTop was designed and sited into a granite ledge and opens up to a stunning ocean/mountain view that includes "seal ledge", where seals can be observed cavorting on sun-warmed rocks. Refined interior finishes which include luxury mattresses, buttery red birch flooring, a master bath with a walk-in shower and a very large cast iron tub with ocean views. All bathrooms are tiled with great storage and lighting. A chef's kitchen with custom-built kitchen cabinets, honed granite countertops and high-end appliances, a variety of LED lighting that makes this cook's kitchen sing--roomy with lots of counter space and easy to whip out your best recipes. Wifi, Sonos sound system (play your own Spotify/Pandora music), fireplace and lots of extra open well-lit space. One end of the house includes a den with a wide-screen television and its own deck. You can also close off that end of the house w/large custom wooden slider doors-- allowing for study, TV viewing etc--and it also serves as a small living room area for that bedroom on that western end of the house. Downstairs has lots of light, generous ocean views and another bedroom suite with its own tiled bathroom and deck. That downstairs den can either function as living room area for the queen-bedded room or an office with 1 walnut topped standing desk and a small cherry desk and wifi printer and day bed--that room can also be closed off for privacy and quiet study with heavy wooden slider doors --left wide open for easy access to the downstairs deck and pathway to the ocean. The downstairs hallway also leads to a large laundry room and as well as a yoga/movie viewing/play room ---now functioning as another large (5th) bedroom--which also has an ocean and mountain view. We have added a 2nd wide screen TV in that 5th bedroom. Terraced granite steps take you down to the water's edge of Somes Sound--the only natural fjord on the eastern seaboard. The expansive upper deck is perfect for gatherings and sharing the magnificent view, the hush of the wind in the pines, and the call of resident loons, ospreys and eagles. There is also a hot outdoor shower to warm you up after an ocean dip. Copper Top offers you a front row vantage point to watch summer sailboat races and other boating activity, wildlife and harbor seals. We love to swim in Somes Sound, which is significantly warmer than the open ocean and afterwards, sprawling out on the sun-warmed granite rocks. Somes Sound is great perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding etc.

Old friends reunite
The property is spectacular in every way. Gorgeous chefs kitchen and we cooked quite a bit. Perfectly located close to hiking in the park and for exploring; its also short walk to Abel’s fantastic lobster pound. Angela is a superb host in every way and was so helpful before arriving and when we were in Maine.

An architectural gem on the sound
The property Coppertop is absolutely stunning. The architecture is a wonderful blend of natural woods and much glass providing a warm setting and bright view of Sommes Sound from virtually every room. The kitchen is very well appointed so we cooked in many nights as we didn't want to leave the property. It was very relaxing trip and close to Acadia and Bar Harbor if we wanted to venture out. Angela was very responsive to questions and her dining recommendations were spot on. We look forward to returning to Coppertop in years to come.

About the host

Hosted by Angela

Host profile image
We love Mount Desert island and enjoy sharing our special place on Somes Sound. In designing the house, it was our goal to create warm, welcoming and and highly functional space--allowing for a unique experience you, your family and guests. We took great pleasure in designing an efficient and well-stocked kitchen --while also attending to the visual esthetics of each room and considering every detail. Copper Top feels more like home, not a rental--which was my personal goal in supporting overall special experience.

Why they chose this property

Our house will attract people who want to be in nature but who also appreciate the comforts of well thought-out interior rooms and furniture. You and your family/friends might enjoy kayaking (currently a rental), watching eagles, observing seals and passing sailboats. And if you enjoy ocean swimming, we encourage you to walk down the stone steps for a refreshing dip in Somes Sound. Bring a book, binoculars or paints--you won't want to go anywhere else. Northeast Harbor is just down the road--4/5-minute drive or easy bike ride along Sargeant Drive (scenic). Bar Harbor is a 12-minute drive where you will find grocery stores, a natural food market and farmer's market (Sundays) and many shops and restaurants in addition to ferries to outer islands. What most people comment on is how our house/site offers the best of both; peace and quiet--away from the summertime madding crowds yet within easy proximity to all harbor towns and park trails. There are very few access points to Somes Sound making our site perfect for kayaking, canoeing, swimming and exploring.

What makes this property unique

The island carriage roads are very accessible and from the house, it's just a 3-minute drive to the best day hikes or walk from the house to Giant Slide which connects other a network of other mountains. Northeast Harbor is just a 8-minute drive away--wonderful shops and dining. Bar Harbor is about a 15-minute drive. Southwest Harbor is just across the Sound; 18 minutes drive. Mount Desert island offers a wide variety of activities with ferries to explore nearby islands, bike/walk carriage roads, golf, many fresh waster lakes and ponds, sailing and boating, fishing, great hiking. You might want to pick up a pizza or two and drive your group up to the top of Cadillac mountain for sunset dining! But you most probably won't want to leave the house with so much at your fingertips; exploring the tidal pools, lying on sun-baked rocks and truly relaxing.
Ps: Once you have decided on Copper Top, please give us a bit of information about your group; rental history on the island or elsewhere (if applicable), ages of any children and other basic information about yourselves--helps make the booking process go a lot more easily. We allow a maximum of 10 guests in the summer and a maximum of 8 guests for spring, late fall and winter months and a total of 6 guests off-season; winter and early spring (Feb, March, April). If your group is made up of friends, we do ask for first/last names of everyone and basic information. As you might imagine, knowing more about new guests helps in supporting an excellent stay for all. :)
