Somesville was the first village settled on Mount Desert Island in 1761 and is now a National Historic District. Walking or driving through the village is like stepping back in time, with sights of beautifully preserved examples of early New England architecture and a charming mill pond. The year round population of about 800 residents enjoy close proximity to Acadia National Park, Echo Lake, Somes Pond, and Long Pond. With its central location, all of Mt. Desert Island’s treasures are just a short drive away.
Magnolia Cottage was wonderful for our family reunion. With 8 adults and 6 children (including 3-month old twins) we had plenty of space. We had homemade meals almost every night, and expanded the dining room table to fit us all. Our favorite room was the sunroom. We brought a paddleboard and loved swimming off the dock. Amazing location, easy to get to everything. Thank you!
This was our 2nd time back to the Magnolia Cottage. The place is great and there is plenty of room for all to enjoy. We love the location and the dock / views. We will be back in the future.
It was great place to spend a week. We had all the amenities we were looking for in a 1 week staycation. Acadia National Park is just minutes away. The morning views from the house are just amazing.
This home worked great for our family vacation. We had 8 adults and 3 kids and this home was plenty big enough. It was a very convenient location to everything on Mt Desert Island. Great views and a very convenient dock to use.
We had a great time at this cottage, lots of space for people to spread out. So easy to get to great hikes around Acadia
