About this property

Tranquil Views of Somes Sound and beautiful Sargent Mnt. at your door.

Seascape is a quaint three season "Maine camp" like cottage set amidst natural landscaping with wonderful ever-changing views of Somes Sound, the only natural 'Fjard' on the East Coast and beautiful Sargent mountain in Hall Quarry. Hall Quarry is located about halfway between Somesville and Southwest Harbor on Mount Desert Island, was once home to a thriving granite quarrying industry. Hall Quarry is a quiet and peaceful village that sits nestled in the hills on Somes Sound, a popular sailing and pleasure boating destination, offering protected deep anchorages and spectacular views all year long.

Relax in the most private setting (no neighbors around you to be seen) while you sip your coffee on the spacious deck and enjoy the great views, watch the deer grazing all around you and soak in the relaxing sounds of the motor boats making their way up the Sound. Seascape has 3 very comfortable and tastefully decorated bedrooms and an additional open sleeping loft and finished with two bathrooms. It will comfortably accommodate a total of 4 Adults and 2 Children maximum, regardless of number of beds.

It is delicately appointed with new furnishings. This property provides you with everything you need. The beautiful Granite fireplace is a perfect setting for cooler evenings. On the first floor there is a galley kitchen opening up to the cathedral-beamed dining room/living room open floor plan with floor to ceiling double sliding glass doors to the deck and your beautiful view (*ocean, not lake). There is a heat pump for addlt heating and cooling A/C needs. There is a bedroom on the first level with a queen sized bed, as well as a second bedroom with two twin sized new memory foam-gel infused mattresses. There is also a 1st floor bathroom with a tub and shower combination.

Travel up the stairs to the open sleeping loft which offers a twin day bed. Finally enter the master bedroom with slanted ceilings boasts a queen sized bed and leads to the en-suite bath with a small shower-stall unit. This bedroom has A/C. There is a washer and dryer on the 1st floor for your convenience.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a three season property, "Maine camp" which allows , The EXPOSED BEAM LOOK. (if you are looking for a "home" with insulated walls, sheet rock and sound proofing, this is not your property, as you will hear your family in the other rooms) Just the way I want my family vacations to be. We find this property most suitable for maximum 4 Adults plus 2 children for optimal privacy, so each couple can at least be on their own floor in such a close set up.

Please note: we are dog friendly, however, you must inquire first with breed $200 per stay.

We are a two miles to some of Acadia National Park's great hiking and biking trails, as well as great swimming at Echo Lake Beach. We are within 8 miles of downtown Bar Harbor and everything that our beautiful Island has to offer, without having to endure the crowds and noise of staying downtown. Take a careful stroll in front of our cottage, which will lead you to one of our previously worked quarries.

Beautiful Views

This is a great location with beautiful views -- sitting on the porch drinking coffee watching the sun rise over Sergeant Mountain was beautiful. Kitchen and living room areas were newly updated. Only reason for 4, rather than 5 stars are the bedrooms and bathrooms, which could also use updating. Upstairs bedroom has a very steep sloped ceiling so tall people be careful. And our friends who stayed in the room said the mattress could use an upgrade. Overall, though, this is a beautiful place to stay.

Relaxing stay in a peaceful location!

We enjoyed our stay at this property so very much! The home had plenty of room to relax and amazing views of the sound. We enjoyed waking up with coffee and sitting on the deck listening to the birds. Every day we saw deer around the property! The location is not far at all to Bar Harbor and so easy to get to Southwest Harbor (the town we fell in love with during our stay!). Thank you for sharing your property with us and we hope to stay there again very soon!

Comfortable, quiet, convenient to everything!

My husband and I came to Maine to hike in Acadia and relax for a few days. This cottage gave us the perfect home base during our visit. We enjoyed morning coffee, dinner on the deck overlooking the sound. Kitchen was well supplied with everything we needed. Linens were comfy, as was the mattress. We were 5 minutes from Echo Lake for hiking, with easy access to the quiet harbor towns south and west on the island, yet we were 20 minutes away from bustling Bar Harbor. About 15 minutes from the entrance to Acadia National Park. Perfect for the 2 of us.

Nice Location

We were two couples and we used the two queen bed rooms for nights in September. With one exception, the furnishings were comfortable and great looking. We did not use the kitchen, but it appeared to be adequately stocked for cooking anything. The water pressure was good and the hot water plentiful. The mattresses, linens and towels were great. Because I don't have a smart phone, or a phone at all, we didn't know the check in time. This wasn't a problem, however, because the owner arrived right after we did and told us it was fine to check in early. Check in time is 4pm, we arrived just after noon. One of the window screens in the downstairs queen bed room was missing, so the window couldn't be opened without letting in bugs. There were three closets in the home, all set up for curtains over them, but no curtains were present. This left clearly visible the vacuum cleaner, an extra lamp, and the breaker box. The curtains would have made a huge difference. The upstairs furnishings appeared to be garage sale rejects. The three painted white chairs were missing paint-some on the seat, and the others on the legs. One of the night tables had the surface marred with glass rings. The downstairs bedrooms looked great, this one looked bad. As advertised, the walls are thin. The floors creak. This makes sex upstairs, even silent sex, impossible! We used the heater and the ceiling fan, and both worked well. The view is just like shown in the listing-beautiful, complete with deer at sunset. Smell? Not for us! The owner obviously cares, because when we arrived a plumber was there to investigate earlier reports of sewer smell on the deck. He found nothing, and we smelled nothing. The location was easy to find, private and centrally located.

Great 40th Anniversary Gettaway

My wife and I along with my sister and brother-in-law, spent part of our 40th anniversary celebration at Seascape. We loved the layout of the cabin. Plenty of room. Quiet in the woods. Cozy. Beautiful view of lake and mountain off the deck. Good location. We appreciated our communication before with the owners. They were very helpful in preparing our stay. Thank you again Erica and Randy!

Rustic Charm

We loved the location! Southwest Harbor was just our speed and so many fabulous hikes nearby. My kiddos had a blast exploring the yard and spotting daily visits from the deer. The beds were comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the view was wonderful. The updated decor was cozy, and we enjoyed the rustic vibe.

My family always enjoy our stay at seascape in Maine. A great location with a great view of Somes Sound but yet an isolated cottage in the woods. Wi Fi .TV available for rainy days, ample space for cooking, fireplace and all amenities that you need plus pet friendly. A great place to stay that makes visiting Acadia a real pleasure.

Fantastic Location and Great Home

This property is a fantastic location making it possible to get to almost any location on the island in 15-20min and many fantastic locations within 5 minutes. The kitchen was fantastically stocked with spices, sugar, oil, etc. Plenty of room at the dining table and the living room. Minor issue (out of dishwasher tabs) addressed within an hour. Wonderful space for our family of 5. Also huge thank you for flexibility with schedule as a result of COVID quarantine restrictions initially.

Best Honeymoon!

My fiancé and I had decided that we wanted to have a sense of seclusion when planning our honeymoon. Neither one of us had been to Maine before, so we set out to create our own adventure. This cabin far exceeded our expectations. It was nice being able to sleep in, brew some coffee, and sit outside and read with a gorgeous view right in front of us. We would then drive into town, grab a bite, walk around, and take in the amazing scenery. There are stores close by to buy food and drinks to stock up your cabin stay! Loved, loved, loved it!
