Wonderful stay at Rock point

We loved our stay at Rock point cottage! We were so lucky to find Rock Point Cottage while searching for our Acadia adventure. Our family of 5 was extremely comfortable in Paul’s 3 bedroom cottage on Somes Sound. We were easily able to explore MDI and Acadia while having a base camp within 20-minutes of most of our destinations. The cottage had everything we needed for cooking meals and sleeping soundly while planning all of our excursions. The bathroom on the second floor was an added bonus for my young girls staying upstairs. Paul was beyond accommodating offering assistance recommendations if needed throughout the stay. We look forward to returning in warmer months to take advantage of the outdoor fireplace and dock, Rockpoint is truly a hidden gem.

Wonderful

Rental was very clean, well appointed, quiet and Paul was incredibly nice. The pride and efforts the family puts forth are very evident. Paul also provides the freshest lobster at a steal. Highly recommend!

Sisters trip

My sisters and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rock Point cabin overlooking Somes Sound. The view from the deck was amazing and the weather was so nice that we spent hours every day enjoying scenery and wildlife while we played cards and other games on the table out there. We had fun getting the lobsters from Paul at the dock and they were delicious. The kitchen was very well stocked, the beds were comfortable and the living room furniture was also very comfortable. We only watched the television a few times but the instructions were very easy to follow. I have stayed at many VRBO houses that have three or more remotes and no information on how to use them, so it was nice having clear and easy instructions. We loved hiking in Acadia every day and enjoyed coming back to the quiet of the cabin. Thank you Paul for being a wonderful host.

We absolutely loved this place

This was our second year! Peaceful and relaxing with beautiful views. Everything we needed for a comfortable week long stay was there. The cottage was cozy and our two children loved having the loft to themselves. Thanks for another memorable family vacation!
