Fall trip to Acadia

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at ACC cabin. It was very clean, the views are great, there’s a fire pit and a paddle board with life vests provided. It did become difficult with our group of seven having only one shower but this is clearly stated in the description. Overall, it was a great place to stay on the quiet side of Acadia!

Beautiful Getaway on Somes Sound

This lovely cabin directly on the sound has amazing views and easy access to the water should you want to dive in. John, the owner, was super helpful, and he has a paddle board for your use and a great fire pit by the water. We truly enjoyed our stay, including the location, views, great beds, beautiful great room and kitchen. Looking forward to our next stay.

Another fabulous stay at Acadia Cove

Once again, we enjoyed the mountains, sea, and forest of Somes Sound and Acadia. You won't find a more peaceful, tranquil house, while still being just minutes away from restaurants and shops in Southwest Harbor. We do miss having a TV, as we'd like to be able enjoy watching a movie or baseball game together as a family, instead of individually and separately huddling over iPads, but other than that it's ideal.

Wonderful vacation spot

Can’t recommend this place enough. The views and location are a dream! We came to visit Acadia National Park which was an easy drive, but we could easily have enjoyed a vacation never leaving the cabin. Our kids loved heading down to the shore and going out on the paddle board. We loved reading in the hammock, or drinking coffee by the water or on the deck. We saw all kinds of wildlife, the weather was beautiful and John was very responsive. We would gladly come here again if we get the chance!

A little slice of Heaven!! Great location

We loved our stay at this cabin while visiting Acadia National Park! The location was perfect for relaxing and just a short drive into Bar Harbor for dinners etc. It is a great central location if you are visiting ANP and close to many of the sights on our must do list!! We also loved Southwest Harbor as well. But the scenery at the cabin was so nice we opted for dinner IN and smores a couple of nights! Highly recommend!

Beautiful Property and Cabin

We had such a wonderful stay! The cabin and property was perfect for our group of 6. The cabin was clean and kitchen fully stocked. We had a fire pit and paddeboarded right off the property. Owner was very helpful with everything. Quiet and great location on the “quiet side” of the island. Highly recommend this property!

A bit of heaven

This was an absolutely wonderful place to stay. The view of the sound and the sun rising up over the mountaintops in the morning are second to none. The wildlife only adds to the beauty of the place. The owner, John, was very informative and provided great information about the local area. We were happy we made the choice we did.

Wonderful week at Acadia Cove

This house is on a beautiful piece of property right on Somes Sound. Definitely away from the hustle & bustle of Bar Harbor. There was plenty of room for our party of 7, nice kitchen & living area, spacious bedrooms, and great deck with a view of the sound. The quaint town of Southwest Harbor is only a 8-10 minute drive away with a fantastic bakery & several wonderful restaurants! Echo lake beach for swimming is only a couple miles away. Very good communication with owners and some minor issues were immediately dealt with. We enjoyed our week at Acadia Cove!

Peaceful home on quiet side

Beautiful views from majority of rooms looking right onto Sound. Most mornings you can sit down by waterfront and watch seals swimming. Sunrise is beautiful to view from anywhere on property over the mountain. Kitchen is well stocked - to include pasta maker which we made use of multiple times. Easy access to all that Acadia has to offer.

This home is in a perfect location for exploring Acadia, Bar Harbor, and the surrounding areas. It was clean and well stocked.

Peaceful getaway

The property is serene and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay because the picture windows overlooking the sound were mesmerizing. Sitting there we were able to view ospreys and eagles and lobstermen. The kitchen was well equipped and the heaters worked well on the cool evenings that we happened to have. The long driveway to the house and the house itself were in excellent condition.

A Week on Somes Sound!

We had a wonderful time spending a week in the Acadia Cove Cabin. The house was beautiful and it was apparent they took great care in window placement to provide awesome views whether on the first or second floors. The access to the sound was very convenient especially having our kayaks with us. John made himself available if needed and was very prompt in getting back to us if we had questions. The location was private and peaceful with fantastics views of the sound and nearby wildlife. We would stay again for sure!

A beautiful house at an even more beautiful location

Acadia Cove Cabin is in one word perfect. It is right on Somes Sound, with a beautiful view across the Sound, both from the living room and the deck, and also below at the waterfront, with the Adirondack chairs, fire pit, and hammock. The house is easily to get to, also because of the very clear information provided by the host, John. The house itself is gorgeous too, with plenty of space, everything you need, comfortable beds, a very well-equipped kitchen, and it is immaculately clean. Acadia Cove Cabin is very well located for visiting Acadia National Park, including hikes nearby, and it is close to Southwest Harbor, which has some of the best restaurants (such as Red Sky and Beal's Lobster Pier). We will definitely want to come back here when we visit Acadia again.

Hall Quarry Treasure

As someone who has spent multiple years vacationing on MDI. I've found my favorite part of the island is Hall Quarry. It's location on the upper end of the "Quiet Side" means you are fairly centrally located while being out of the main congestion of the island during high seasons. The house is beautifully sited at the base of Acadia Mountain perched above a granite shore's edge on Somes Sound. With an easterly view, mornings are special in the cottage. One can awaken to watch an Acadia Park sun rise above Norumbega Mountain as the local lobstermen pull their traps at daybreak on the tranquil tidal waters of Somes Sound not more than 100 yards offshore. The cottage, recently built, and although modest in some respects, is well appointed & maintained, hosting a beautiful and fully functional kitchen along with a comfortable and spacious open living / dining area. The bedrooms are modest and without views, intentionally locating the best views and most captivating spaces in the public areas (kitchen/dining/living) with soaring ceilings and expansive views of the Sound, Sargeant Drive, and the tree line mountains of Acadia National Park beyond. If you wish for peace, tranquility, & privacy; even when the Park is at full capacity; this rental tops my list.

Perfect Getaway

My wife & I loved the Acadia Cove Cabin & the 5 days of peace & relaxation it provided. We found the location to be ideal for exploring both sides of Mt. Desert Island….20 minute drive to Bar Harbor, 10 minutes to Southwest Harbor. The cabin itself is in a very quiet, secluded location directly on picturesque Somes Sound. The views from the deck & rear facing windows were amazing. One morning after returning from catching the incredible sunrise on Cadillac mountain we saw 4 deer passing through the back yard. The cabin itself is new construction with a well thought out design providing modern amenities & appliances while maintaining a very rustic feel. It is spacious, clean & comfortable. Some highlights of cabins features we enjoyed: great shower(2 shower heads with great water pressure…nice after a long day of hiking), WiFi to allow us to stream movies off of our laptop at night, comfortably firm mattress, grill on deck for burgers & steak tips. Having never been to MDI before our only hesitation before booking was if we wanted to be closer to downtown Bar Harbor but after this trip we are grateful to have booked on Somes sound….we really enjoyed the vibe and slower pace found on “The Quiet Side” of MDI. Would definitely come back. The owner John is very welcoming & accommodating…he obviously takes great pride in his property & providing his guests with a great experience.

About the host

Hosted by John Douglass

This new house replaced an earlier vacation home. The property has been in our family since the 1880s and we are related to Cyrus Hall, for which Hall Quarry is named. We have another home on the 9 acre property (not visible from Acadia Cove Cabin) and a family member is usually nearby during the summer rental season.
