About this property
Private Oceanfront "Coppertop" house, Acadia National Park
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 feature--making it easy to decide who sleeps where. Bedrooms are generously sized with closets, bureaus, seating and very comfortable beds and linens-- and each near a bathroom. All bathrooms are equipped powerful shower heads, towels, hair dryers, soups and grooming products.
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 2026 season. Coppertop is now more equipped for those who can work remotely w/2 standing desks, printer and excellent wifi. Update: We added heat pumps, for bedroom cooling and ocean breezes keep the center of the house very comfortable.
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 near a tiled bathroom and scenic deck. The downstairs den can either function as an en suite for the queen-bedded room or as a standalone office with 2 standing desks, a wifi printer and day bed. The downstairs hallway leads to a large laundry room as well another large (5th) bedroom--which also has an ocean and mountain view. We have added a 2nd wide screen TV in that 5th bedroom. From the downstairs den, you can access the terraced granite steps, that can take you down to the water's edge. The main upper deck is perfect for gatherings and sharing the magnificent views, 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. Coppertop 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 warm up by the sun-warmed granite rocks. Somes Sound is perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding and exploring the sea and all wildlife that is drawn into it.

About the host
Hosted by Angela
My family & I adore, like so many thousands, 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 for you and your family. We took great pleasure in designing an efficient and well-stocked kitchen --while also attending to the visual esthetics of each room--considering every detail. CopperTop feels more like home, not a rental--which was my personal goal in supporting a special experience.
Why they chose this property
Coppertop will attract people who want to be in nature but who also appreciate the comforts of well thought-out interior rooms and furniture. From our site, you and your family can enjoy ocean kayaking, observing eagles, seals and the colorful display of passing yachts & sailboats. If you enjoy ocean swimming, we encourage you to walk down the stone steps for a refreshing dip in Somes Sound--a lot warmer in the 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 an easy bike ride along Sargeant Drive (scenic). Bar Harbor is a 12-minute drive where you will find grocery stores, a natural food & farmer's market (Sundays) and many shops and restaurants. In nearby Northeast Harbor, you can step onto ferry for a day of explorations and lunch/dinner, or picnic, on the 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 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, or 10-minute walk, to the best day hikes and carriage roads--which connect to other mountain trail and carriage road network. Northeast Harbor is just a 5-minute drive with wonderful shops and dining. Bar Harbor is about a 12-minute drive. Southwest Harbor is just across the Sound; 18 minutes drive. Mount Desert island offers an enormous variety of activities--ferries to explore nearby islands, carriage roads for strolling, biking or running, golf, tennis and with many fresh waster lakes and ponds, sailing and boating, fishing and exception day hikes. You might want to pick up a pizza or two and drive your group up to the top of Cadillac mountain (w/reservation during peak summer season) 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 Coppertop, it helps the reservation process if you give us a bit of information about your group; your rental history, ages of any children, number of cars and other basic information about yourselves. We allow a maximum of 8 guests in the summer and a maximum of 6 guests for shoulder seasons. If you have 1-2 extra guests within these parameters, we do charge a nightly fee ($150) for each extra guest. Learning more about you helps us in supporting an excellent stay for you all.
