Wonderful!
4.9/5 -

Very clean, Gougeous views, welcoming host
We will return!!
Great property in a wonderful location.
I spent 4 wonderful days at the Command Post in early May. My expectations were exceeded! It’s a serene location overlooking Somes Sound. It’s well situated on the “quiet side”, just north of quaint Southwest Harbor. Bar Harbor is a quick 15-minute drive. The large bedroom picture window faces towards the east so each morning you’re greeted by a sunrise over the mountains & sound. If you’re looking for tranquility this is the place to be.
The house itself is very comfortable, cozy and importantly…. spotless. It’s obvious that Mimi & Rick take great pride in offering a clean and well maintained home with many thoughtful touches and little details that make a difference. There are comfortable lounge chairs, a bedroom bench, and towel hooks & additional light switches that are conveniently located. The kitchen appliances and laundry machines are spotless and look new. The bathroom (toilet, shower, vanity) are all super clean and well maintained. The carpeting is soft & clean. Again it’s the details that make a “rental” feel more like your home while visiting.
I’m very particular when it comes to rental homes, hotels, etc. Without any hesitation I would highly recommend the Command Post if you’re looking for a quite location, great views and a cozy, comfortable and clean home from which to explore Mount Desert Island!

Beautiful cottage with waterfront views and access
Love at first sight for this beautifully kept cottage with all conveniences, including washer/dryer & dishwasher. Wraparound porch looks out on Somes Sound--spent many hours reading and watching boats, birds, and deer go by. Kept our kayak at the owners' dock, and had fresh cooked lobster brought to our door by their son. Hall Quarry location is perfect--everything on MDI is easily accessible. The owners are terrific and will help with anything you need--we have been coming back for 5 years and have booked for this coming summer. Highest recommendation!
Command Post Keeps Us Coming Back Every Year
There is nothing not to love about Command Post and we go back year after year. The view of Somes Sound, and the mountain beyond, is just gorgeous -- views are great from the living room or from the deck. You can lie in bed and watch the stars and then watch the sun rise over Somes Sound. The Mooers family is so very friendly and incredibly welcoming and they keep Command Post in top notch condition and always clean and tidy as can be. It's a quick drive to anywhere fun in Acadia National Park or into Bar Harbor for dinner. This is a truly special place owned by very special people.
Idyllic setting, great view, well-equipped cottag
Captain's Quarters is a small house, perfectly located overlooking Somes Sound in the Hall Quarry area of Mt. Desert Island, just north of Southwest Harbor on the "quiet side" of the island. The facility is well equipped and comfortable, with a new bathroom, full kitchen, nice living room/dining room, and bedroom. There are wrap-around decks to allow for taking advantage of the views, which are spectacular. The hosts, Rick and Mimi Mooers, do everything one can think of to make your stay as comfortable as possible. They've thought of every detail and equipped the cottage amply with all the equipment and supplies needed to insure a great stay. I highly recommend either this cottage, Captain's Quarters, or any other one maintained by the Mooers, as you will have a great time, and never be disappointed.
Perfect Place to Stay!
The Command Post was the perfect place to stay. Great location and views. It's located on the quiet side of the island with easy access to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Nice kitchen and bathroom. Comfortable king-size bed.
Very clean! My husband and I highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again.
Map
Located in the center of Mount Desert Island, we are just minutes away from all attractions. With Somes Sound within walking distance, you can enjoy the beautiful sights and water activities such as boating and fishing, and if you are really adventurous, a breath-talking swim in the ocean. Should you not like cold salt water swimming, Echo Lake is within 1 mile of the house.
Other Activities: kayaking, canoeing
