We felt at home instantly in this historic home in Somesville. The bedrooms were comfortable, with good light, and the living space and screened porch were so pleasant. Our family of 7 was very comfortable. Outside, the flat, grassy yard was perfect for frisbee and soccer. Also, our son loved taking the canoe out onto Somes Pond to fish. Overall, very happy with the property.

We had an incredible week exploring Acadia. The house was fantastic- full of history and charm, gorgeous views and well appointed. Brit was wonderful to work with. She had great tips about making the most of our Acadia vacation. It was hard to leave.

Lovely historic home with plenty of room in a serene location. The owner was great and easy to deal with. The house is situated in convenient area on Mount Desert Island

This June and July, our family (2 grand parents, 4 parents, 2 teenagers, 2 dogs) spent 2 weeks at the Babcock house in Somesville. We loved the 200+ years old house filled with antique furnishings., surrounded by a lovely field and gardens. A stately old Elm overlooked the yard. We had a couple of very cold days when we spent hours playing games in front of a fire in the spectacular fireplace. On hot days, we were able to kayak to Somes Pond to check on the Loon family there. We played croquet in the yard and, of course, visited Bar Harbor biking and hiking trails, and charming towns. We highly recommend Cafe, This Way in Bar Harbor and Cafe Drydock and Inn in Southwest Harbor. Brit Babcock, who managed the house was great fun, very accessible, and helpful. Her family sold their Mt Desert Pies at the bottom of the driveway and, as a family of 8, we ate an AWFUL lot of them. Rhubarb Strawberry was a favorite. As you can see, we loved the variety of adventures we had, learning about Somesville history, hiking, swimming, kayaking, and being with each other after a year of isolation. We highly recommend the Somesville house! Brit, thanks for the good time!
