This house was perfect for a week-long family reunion. It is so spacious and thoughtfully laid out that several families can have space to relax and common areas to hang. We loved the beautiful sunsets on the deck and paddling in the water. The host was very easy to communicate with and the caretakers were extremely responsive. The house is secluded and private but close to everything in Acadia and bar harbor. We absolutely loved our stay here!

We were 4 generations on a family vacation. The property was excellent: beautiful sunsets, plenty of room to spread out, included kayaks, paddle boards and life jackets. Excellent shore to scramble around on and view the tide pools. Full game closet for the rainy days, reliable internet and wifi.I communicated with Sam the owner a number of times, he was always responsive and helpful. The location is perfect, close to everything on the island. We enjoyed our stay immensely and definitely recommend this property.

Fantastic Stay

We just arrived home after our stay and amazing is an understatement. The house is the most well stocked VRBO I’ve ever stayed at, especially with things for families with small children. The location was perfect with a short drive getting you to several great places around the island. Definitely recommend. Pick this place for the sunset views alone.

Family Getaway

The house is perfectly located on a beautiful sound that gave an amazing way to begin and end each day. From the wildlife to the sunsets, it created an amazing backdrop for a great family vacation. The house was well equipped and provides comfortable accommodations for the entire family. Located right across the street from a trailhead for hiking and convenient to bar harbor, but not in the all the traffic. The owner and caretaker were super responsive and made the entire visit seem less. Great place and would recommend.

Incredible Maine

We could not have loved this home more — with 7 adults and 3 toddlers, we all had our own space inside while nestled in an idyllic park-like environment. Kitchen had everything we needed for many family-style meals around the huge eat-in kitchen table. Communication with the owner and on-site caretaker was a breeze both before and during the trip, and they made sure travel cribs were available for the kids so we could travel without. Can’t recommend this home enough!

This is an absolutely beautiful location with a comfortable house and many amenities. Regardless of age or interests, everyone of us enjoyed our stay. The rocky shoreline was a big hit with our younger set, while the adults marveled at sunsets from the deck. We had easy access to Acadia; bird watching throughout MDI; a boat trip to see nesting puffins and playful seals; hiking to Cadillac Mountain to watch the to the sunrise; and a catered dinner on the deck. This was a very special vacation for all of us.

We had a great time at the house. Beautiful views from the windows and the deck. Unbelievable view of the sunset right from the deck. House has everything you need for a large group. There were 10 of us at the house. Very cozy bedrooms. We were very impressed with owner's ability to adjust and accommodate our needs on the fly. We will rent it again in the near future.

I appreciate Oleg's 4 star review, which I am confident would have been 5 stars had I not committed a VRBO rookie mistake. He and his group were gracious about my somehow not being aware they were coming! A late afternoon call from the caretaker said " some renters are here, reservation in hand." Oleg's wife and I talked and quickly figured out the solution. I put all 5 couples up for the night in a nice Bar Harbor Hotel, paid for dinner, and refunded 25% of their rent. I believe I atoned for my error. The linchpin of the recovery was the cleaner. She was able to deploy someone the next morning and and prep the house. Christmas bonus for sure. I do appreciate Oleg deducting only one star and not publicly shaming me for my mistake. Thank you Oleg. Thank you Tatiana. I'm delighted you enjoyed your time in the house.

Stunning Sunsets and Brilliant Stars

This home was the perfect place to come back to at the end of a day playing on Mount Desert Island. We so enjoyed sitting on the deck after biking and/or kayaking, watching first the sun set and later the stars reflected in Somes Sound. The house had everything we needed to make us comfortable and welcome. I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you for opening your home.

The owner and caretaker were very accomadating towards any needs we had, especially in the face of unexpected circumstances.

The Best Family Vacation Ever

This house was perfect for our family vacation in every way! The house was spacious, comfortable and beautifully equipped with everything we could possibly want or need. The views are spectacular from every spot on the property and the entire property is amazing! We had such fun kayaking, swimming, hiking, paddleboarding, cooking and playing games that we didn't need to go anywhere else. We did, of course, because there is so much to see and do on Mt. Desert Island and this house is perfectly situated for everything.Also, I can't say enough about our host, Sam! He was so welcoming, responsive and helpful! We loved this house and the surrounding property so much that we're all trying to make our houses feel the same way. An impossible task but we'll work on it until we have the chance to rent this house again!

Vacation Perfection

We have been fortunate to rent a number of vacation homes all over the world and this was one of our favorites. The location of the home could not be better. Directly on Somes Sound, it is in the middle of Mount Desert Island and close to restaurants and shopping in Bar Harbor and the numerous attractions of Acadia National Park. We also kept busy at the home site itself with kayaking, swimming (the water is much warmer here than on the coast), paddle boarding, nature walks, and enjoying the picturesque sunsets on the deck overlooking the water. The caretaker was helpful, attentive, and available for our needs. The owner was very quick to respond to messages and questions. The spacious, well maintained home is a perfect blend of modern convenience and rustic comfort. It is obvious that the family cherishes the home and we are grateful that they shared it with us.

The perfect Acadia vacation rental

The property exceeded my family’s expectations and provided the perfect location to enjoy all that Mt. Desert island and Acadia have to offer. The rooms are comfortable and provided ample space for everyone to spread out. The kitchen was perfect for cooking and allowed for our large party of 10 to eat meals together. The kayaks allowed us to explore the sound and hunt for schools of mackerel in the morning. The large deck and wooded property were perfect for bird/nature watching, including waking up to the sounds of loons each morning. Samual was incredible to work with during the booking process and was very responsive to all our questions during our stay. He clearly enjoys being able to share a place he and his family love with others. In addition, Garrett (the onsite grounds keeper) provided quick, in person help when needed. My family has a long, multigenerational history visiting the island, and we had a truly wonderful and magical week that meant a lot to everyone.

Amazing property on Some Sound

This home sits on the kind of land you can no longer buy. It is on 15 choice acres right on Some Sound with magnificent views from almost every window. It is roomy and comfortable with the patina of age and lots of character. You can tell it is the well-loved house of an extended clan who gathers here each summer. It reminded me of my grandparents’ home, in all the best ways. It is not cutting-edge or fancy but it is very lovely. We enjoyed every minute of our mid-October stay. Taking their boats out on the water was a particular highlight of our stay. Sam was my main point of contact from the family and he could not have been nicer or more responsive. I would highly recommend this home.

Great Gathering Spot

The house is just as it looks in the pics. You can tell from the minute you walk in that there have been a lot of fun times had here. The location is amazing and the view from almost every room is spectacular. We had several fires out on the point as the sun set over Somes Sound, which I will never forget. The owners were easy to work with and the property manager was great. We did use Chef Greg one night, which I'd highly recommend. Having said all this, there are some rustic elements. This house is a grand old dame, but she's probably due for a facelift, particularly when it comes to the bathrooms. Don't hesitate to book this place. We are a family of 8 that created some priceless memories here that we will never forget. Thanks to the Hargraves family for sharing this treasure with us.

Mainely Magical

After this crazy year, our family was very excited to gather in Maine. Small Cove Point did not disappoint. The setting is spectacular. We saw bald eagles, osprey, loons and seals in addition to amazing sunsets and stars from the porch. The kayaks and SUPs were a much enjoyed amenity. The well maintained house has a very homey, quaint feel with lots of the interesting memorabilia that you would find in a home that has been in a family for generations. Seemingly perfect for this area. The bedrooms are spacious and allow nice separation. The kitchen is nicely updated and well equipped even for our family of cooks. At SCP, we felt like we were just the right distance to everything MDI, hiking, biking, dining, ferry trips and shopping. One evening we even put our name on the list at Able's, came back to SCP, had our cocktail, and they called us when our table was ready! Only regret-we wished we had stayed two weeks.

Wow, Robert. What a nice review. Thank you. We are delighted you had such a nice time on MDI enjoying all that the island and our house offer. That deck is something special. I'm told Abel's has upped their game this season, that the offerings and preparation are a cut above. Next time you come I'd consider paddling over for lunch during a rising tide. You are welcome back anytime. Thank you for being such considerate guests.

Special Location

Small Cove Point is a truly special place. The house is warm and comfortable--like returning to a family retreat (except not our family, but we were grateful to borrow the experience for a while!) The view from the deck or out the picture windows is stunning. The beach was perfect for our little people to dig and wade and explore. We launched kayaks with ease. We ate at Abel's (more than once) and appreciated easy access to the quieter towns on MDI, while still being close to Bar Harbor when we needed groceries or wanted to go there for some other reason. We hiked into Acadia across the road. The split bedrooms allowed our two families quiet and privacy--particular great to have a quiet room down the hall for our littlest to nap without worrying about our elementary kids' shenanigans. The kitchen had everything we needed. The caretaker greeted us, showed us around, and then left us to ourselves. He seemed like such a nice guy and we appreciated knowing he was there if we needed a hand with something. Our only sadness is not being able to book next year! Recommend highly--we'd love to return sometime.

Sarah, thank you for the nice review. We’re glad y’all were able to settle in for 2 weeks and really get a feel for the place. The beach and rocks (mermaid island) are fun for kids. The deck is one of my favorite spots. So calm and peaceful. Mt Desert can be a special place. You were wonderful guests and are welcome back. Two weeks is a rare treat. Hope you find a great place for next year.

Come see for yourself what makes Small Cove Point so special! Commissioned by our grandfather in 1961 and built of native pine, Small Cove Point is where our entire family gathers during the month of August to reconnect, unwind, and just have fun amidst the spectacular beauty of Acadia National Park and its environs.

This is a property used by all 14 of us in August: 6 kids, 7 adults, and 1 grammy split between the Main House and the Cottage. We bring our dogs, one of which sheds fur mercilessly. (No, we do not allow pets, no matter how sweet, well trained, or well behaved. This is non-negotiable and based upon past experience).

It is clean, well-cared for, and well equipped. The furniture and upholstery are updated regularly, including recent mattresses, sheets, blankets, pillows, and towels. We also installed a modern HVAC system in 2021: each room has individual heat and A/C controls. It is a wonderful house, a wonderful property, and a wonderful place to be. While you may find clues that others have been there before - a finger smudge on a window for example - please know that everything is clean, tidy and squared away.

The cleaners are thorough and use antibacterial products. Yet you may come across a dog hair in the living room, mismatched silverware, Tupperware without a lid or a chipped china plate. You may also find canned goods, an unopened box of quinoa or gluten-free spaghetti, a bottle of hot sauce, maybe a half bag of perfectly good coffee. Help yourself.

We work hard to ensure that this well-loved and well-used home is well maintained. Please remember that while you are a paying guest you are a guest nonetheless. I will work hard to correct any deficiencies.

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

Simple, comfortable, and ready for you. This is a wonderful gathering place for friends and family, with a large living room/dining room, fully stocked eat in kitchen, and expansive deck. Where else can you be on the water and surrounded by granite mountains? There is plenty of room to spread out: in the house, on the property, and throughout Acadia. Take a swim in front of the house, watch the wildlife and boats from the deck, take a hike in the Park, a stroll through Northeast Harbor, a water taxi to Isleford (Little Cranberry), Great Cranberry, Swans Island or Frenchboro (Long Island).
