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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!
