Notes
- To the side of the cottage we have a small shed for bicycles you might bring and for the charcoal and gas grills. We highly recommend the use of our wonderful Free island-wide bus system, the Island Explorer. These environmentally friendly new buses run all over the island and into the national park and you can even take your bicycles! There is a stop right by the beautiful white arched Somesville bridge, a five minute walk from our property.

Ken and I are retired art teacher and theater costume designer. We have owned Hawthorn Cottage since 1980, taking over from Chauncey Somes, whose ancestors settled the island. We have especially enjoyed sharing our love of Mount Desert Island and Acadia with our guests all these years. We hope you will join our large number of returning guests in savoring the best of Maine.
Marilee purchased this Cottage in 1980
