About this house rental
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.

The location was excellent and on the whole the house was good. We did have a problem as we did not know there were stairs to the first floor bedroom. This caused a problem for my husband as he can no longer do stairs. We loved the deer and got two wonderful views of the bald eagle. The weather was great and the kids enjoyed the dock.

We greatly enjoyed our stay Heron Pool. There were several small issues that we encountered but the caretaker was able to resolve them quickly. We met our host and he was wonderfully welcoming and made us feel like part of the family.

So I want to start by saying this place is just magical. It's out of the way enough that there was no traffic or noise, but still close to everything you'd want to see on Mt Desert Island. We had deer come visit twice a day, and the views are straight out of a postcard. There is everything you could possibly need in the house, and the rooms are very comfortable.We brought my 80 year old dad and 74 year old mom here for my dad's birthday with the kids and grandkids. We ran into a few difficulties. There are stairs everywhere -- even the downstairs bedroom we had my parents in has two steps to it, which was not great for the elderly. The path to the dock is also very steep and hard to navigate, so they never went down there, which was a shame. On the kid side, the swingset is very close to breaking -- the wood is rotting and splitting -- so after the first day we didn't let the kids on it. There are also so many breakable things in the house. I breathed a sigh of relief when we left without our kids harming anything.So if you have older kids and not older adults, this place is absolutely perfect, and I totally recommend it!
