My husband and I, with our 8 lb dog, had a wonderful visit to Skywater and Mt. Desert Island. The setting on Somes Sound is gorgeous, and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on the deck, watching the boats, birds, and beautiful scenery. The cottage is clean and quiet, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. Our major excitement was spotting a bald eagle sitting in a tree less than 100 feet away, perhaps hungrily eyeing our small dog on the deck! We put the dog inside and pulled out our binoculars - magnificent! We would love to return.
