Command Post is the quintessential cabin that offers the best of both worlds: stunning and private view, quiet setting, rustic appeal and all the modern comforts one would want. Upon arrival we found Command Post airy, welcoming, and spotlessly clean. The view of Somes Sound is breathtaking, and within minutes of arrival we were on the back deck enjoying the lovely ambiance and a little light refreshment from the long drive.
Mimi is a delightful and accommodating hostess who is quick to offer suggestions of things to do on the “Quiet side” of Mt. Desert Island. Her enthusiasm for the area is palpable!
Other things of note:
Comfortable king-sized bed with sunrise views (don’t even need to get out of bed!)
Fully stocked kitchen (I’m a bit of a kitchen snob and found nothing lacking)
Easy to use TV for nightly viewing if desired.
Quick access to Southwest Harbor, local hiking trails and Echo Lake
