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 Heron Pool house worked perfectly for our three-generation family of nine—plenty of space for us not to be on top of each other. On the outside deck and from inside rooms, there were relaxing views of water with eagles flying overhead. The dock on calm water allowed us to bring a couple kayaks and go out, at a moment’s whim, for a fun spin in a kayak. The kitchen was well stocked. The blinking light near the entrance to the driveway made the house easy to find. The owners and the local manager were delightful to work with and promptly responsive to any questions we had. You can tell that the house has been dearly loved by the owners’ family. We felt honored to be able to enjoy and love it as well.

Great location for what we were doing in Acadia. The dock was great and the wildlife was fun for the family. The deck was a great gathering place every morning for coffee and to set up plans for the day. We had a large group and there were plenty of rooms so we could put people where they had privicy. We had a couple of hot days and the AC upstairs had some problems but they got fans for us and worked on making our stay an enjoyable event. The host and his local manager were very helpful and made sure things were open when we arrived and were in contact quickly if we had any questions. The house was clean and well stocked with towels bedding and anything we needed . We were able to cook onsite as well as find great dining withing a few minutes away.Great place to stay.

Lovely 1930’s home close to an ocean inlet. Quiet, spacious and easy drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Perfect place to gather with family and relax. Fully stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. We had some problems working the air conditioning units but eventually figured them out.

We loved the house! The dock and view of the sound were awesome. The location was wonderful, close to all the cute areas. Would definitely stay here again.
