Amazing place to stay!
The historic house is beautifully kept inside with claw-footed tubs and knooky bedrooms. The "Castle" upstairs is open and spacious and comfortable, with everything you need for your stay! The owners, Bill and Tina, were absolutely lovely, and were also very responsive and accommodating. Their lobsterman son was kind enough to bring us home lobsters to feast on! Amazingly kind...and delicious! It was an amazing stay! We highly recommend staying here! We hope to be back someday! Thank you very much, Bill and Tina (and Todd and Murray;)!!

Quaint, convenient and private
We really enjoyed the stay here in Somesville for our weeklong vacation. The historical home was perfectly located at the center of the island for our family’s various excursions. Everything was only minutes away and we could always stop back to the property between activities. The owners were great and coordinated fresh lobsters via their son. Overall a great stay.

We loved it!
As soon as we walked into the house; our 4 teenage boys exclaimed their love of the house! It was honestly perfect, the Reiff's are so wonderful and the quintessential hosts to boot. They guided us around during our stay and the location of the house was perfect. We hiked Acadia and fished and visited around the Soutwest Harbor and Bar Harbor. After visiting in the town of Bar Harbor we were so happy we stayed a few miles away in Somesville. The house is a gorgeous historic home/inn; super homey yet still chic, and very well cared for! The house contains all the amenities you would want. You will love it! Thank you Tina and Bill! Much love!
