Because Somesville is centrally located, you will drive less as you enjoy Acadia National Park-- the beaches, mountains, coastline, shops and restaurants. Cycling, hiking, swimming, sailing, canoeing, kayaking, naturalist programs, whale watching, and sightseeing boat tours are all a short trip away. There is a path from the house into the woods that connects to paths on several adjacent properties. The pathway system connects to the village post office, market, charming library, historical museum, great bookstore, antique store, town landing, and the island’s free Explorer bus system that connects all major villages and sights. Somesville also has a summer theater.

The two terraces are equipped with Adirondack chairs and enable you to get closer to nature, and to view the natural beauty and wildlife in more detail. Great location for fall visits to see autumn color. Home has a fireplace and central heating.

Quiet, lovely, comfortable home

chipskenmar Mount Desert , Maine
Review Submitted: March 14, 2010 Date of Stay: September 2009
We have stayed at Deer Crossing in autumn three years in a row. This is a beautifully appointed, very private, centrally located property on a lovely parcel of land in the most charming village on Mt. Desert Island. Furnishings are tasteful, bookshelves well stocked with interesting reading, kitchen more than fully equipped, and wildlife visitors plentiful. Birds, chipmunks, and deer are daily pleasures. We especially love the large porch and bluestone terrace overlooking the woods. An exceptional rental experience.
