Amazing honeymoon

This cottage was an amazing place to stay for our honeymoon. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with the cottage and all it had to offer. We saw deer almost every night and the cottage was super peaceful. The location of the cottage was perfect. On the quiet side of the island it got us away from the traffic but close enough to Acadia to get anywhere in 25 minutes or less. Absolutely amazing place to stay and would definitely book again!

Precious, cozy cottage in the center of the island

Somerville is a central, historic location. Cottage is cozy and the perfect size for two people. Shower is tiny, but nothing you can't deal with for a vacation. We loved staying here!

Great little cottage on MDI

Excellent stay! The location is perfect—close to everything in Acadia, yet just far enough to feel peaceful and quiet. Communication was fast, friendly, and incredibly helpful. The cottage is spotless and absolutely charming and the bed was super comfortable. Keep in mind it is a cottage not a big house - still plenty of room for 2 and so much better than a hotel. This was our first trip to Acadia, but fingers crossed we can stay here again for future trips.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hawthrone cottage. This was a perfect location for our visit to Acadia and the surrounding area. The cottage is peaceful and quiet, charming and cozy, secluded and conveniently located. It is clean and well kept. We enjoyed seeing the deer visit most every evening. Marilee was a wonderful host, very helpful, and easy to talk to. Check-in is straight forward. We highly recommend staying at the Hawthorne cottage.

July Honeymoon

Property was cozy and secluded, exactly what we wanted for our national park honeymoon! Kitchen was well stocked and temperature was easy to control. The water pressure in the shower could be a little better but in a small place like this it’s to be expected and didn’t affect our enjoyment whatsoever. Beautiful stay!

Great little cottage centrally located between the west and east sides of MDI; made travel to most locations around the island only a 10-15 minute drive. Quiet neighborhood and communicative hosts. I recommend Coffee Matter/Mother's Kitchen just up the road for your daily coffee and pastries.

Clean & attractive little cottage, in a lovely, quiet neighborhood of Somesville. Perfect for a couple, too small for 3. The host welcomed us with pretty seasonal (fall) bouquets from the yard, throughout the cottage, and showed us 2 local walks that we really liked.

Cozy, quiet cottage perfect for exploring the entire island.

While most pictures exaggerate the size of rentals, we were pleasantly surprised by the roominess, perfect for two adults. The location was ideal for short drives around the island, and was wonderfully peaceful at night. The manager also drew up several maps of the Somesville area, which allowed us to explore a nearby cemetery and nature preserve. I will definitely consider this cottage for future vacations.
