About this property

Beautiful Seaside Home with Sweeping Views - Weekly Discounts Available!

Heron Pool is a lovely country home privately situated on Somesville Harbor. We just completed a major renovation in 2020 to fully winterize the house, add a solar system, install all new windows, doors and insulation with a new efficient heat pump to heat and cool the house.

Heron Pool is at the end of a long driveway with sweeping views of the harbor and mountains. The property shares a dock with the neighbors. Take in bald eagles, ospreys, loons, seals, deer, and more from the deck. Inside it is tastefully furnished with antiques, overstuffed couches, and plenty of space for your family. The main house has 4 bedrooms, with 2 queen size beds and 4 single beds. There is also a private cottage steps away from the house with a queen size bed and full bathroom. Have lunch in the garden at a teak table set over looking the water, swim off the dock at high tide, kayak the harbor or just snooze in a lawn chair. Bikes and kayaks can be rented locally, and Somes Pond is minutes away and much warmer to swim in than the ocean.

Heron Pool sleeps 10 comfortably and is truly a family home. It is ideal for kids with a wooden swing set, fields and shoreline to explore, all well set back from the road.

If you ever leave the property you can enjoy all that Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, SW Harbor and NE Harbor have to offer. The owner will send you a long list of suggestions for hiking, biking, kayaking or going to have a nice meal or ice cream. You may not be a Rockefeller but you sure can live like one. Make Heron Pool a part of your summer this year and for years to come.

WONDERFUL family friendly vacation home
Our extended family of 10 had an amazing vacation at Heron Pool. The house is so charming, with lots of little areas to hangout and also a big dining table where we could all sit together. The view of the trees and the inlet from the house is so beautiful. We rented kayaks delivered to the property and we enjoyed kayaking off the dock every day - we saw bald eagles, porpoises, and seals. On the warmest days, some of us went swimming when the tide was in. We walked to the nearby theater one evening to watch a play. We really liked the location - easy to adventure on both sides of the island. The hosts were so responsive to our questions and little things that came up.

Beautiful place
We really enjoyed our stay! The sunroom is the best! We stayed there a lot. I wish the upstairs queen bed had steps to get into the bed. The bed is really high. I also wish the path to the dock was easier to walk on. The property manager was the best and the owner was easy to text. We really loved it! We saw deer and an eagle from the deck.

Wonderful house!
Excellent location for visiting various MDI activities. Beautiful house with lovely furnishings. The kitchen was stocked with every kind of cooking tool imaginable. The dishes and flatware were fabulous. Very comfortable beds, great bed linens. Had numerous places to hang out with large family so you could have some private time when needed. The dock provided a wonderful place to swim. The outdoor table and chairs were wonderful for outdoor dining. Each bedroom had beautiful views. As did the other living areas. I do not usually write this effusively, but this place was fabulous!
