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.
Lovely house that was very clean and best of all no noise. Truly felt like we were away from everything while still being convenient to nearby coffee shops. Every night on our way back to the house we saw deer and other wildlife. House was convenient to hiking trails and all the harbor towns ( northeast harbor, southwest harbor and bar harbor). Wish we could have used the outdoor fire pit and facilities more but a northeaster was coming through. Definitely will rent again.
Ripples was perfect for our family. The boys loved sharing the kids’ bedroom and my spouse and I loved having a bedroom retreat. Having a washer and dryer on the same floor is so helpful! Plus, the porch was so pleasant when there was a nice evening breeze.
