About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cozy, clean and located minutes from Beech Mountain and Acadia National Park.

Gardencourt is a duplex tucked away on a private lane off Beech Hill Road in Historic Somesville. Our quiet rural setting offers the perfect spot to come home to between adventures. The entrance is located within our fenced-in courtyard at 5A, where the charming interior has a local feel. Beech Mountain Trailhead in ANP is just 0.75 miles from your front door. The three best swimming/kayaking/canoeing lakes are right around the corner by car or bicycle. Farm-to-table freshness is just 0.3 mile from the home at Beech Hill Farm, an organic farm stand. Enjoy a sunset stroll along Beech Hill Road; drive 15 minutes into Bar Harbor with all that seaside town has to offer, or head in the opposite direction to discover "The Quiet Side" of Mount Desert Island. (Our favorite)

$50 MULTI-WEEK DISCOUNT!! There is so much to see and do! Our home comfortably accommodates up to 6 people and is tastefully appointed and fully equipped. Gardencourt is pet friendly, so bring the whole family for a multi-week stay to remember.

We do not allow smoking anywhere on our property.

Beautiful spot near Somesville
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gardencourt! It was bright and cheerful with a big kitchen table to gather around and a comfortable living area. The bedrooms were nicely decorated with comfortable beds. There was a private patio for lounging outdoors. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. There were plenty of soft towels. We especially liked the location. The house was on a very private street near Somesville, so it was central to all points on the island. It was a short drive to Southwest Harbor to Beal’s Lobster Pound or a little farther to Thurston’s Lobster Pound in Bernard. The Loop Drive was a short drive in the other direction. This property is the first floor of a house and the owners are sometimes living upstairs. They are delightful people, and we hardly knew they were there. They left a nice jar of jelly as a welcome gift. This is a great place for home base for a visit to Acadia National park!

Convenient location to everything on Mt. Desert Island!
We really enjoyed our stay at Gardencourt on the quiet side of the island! We found that Google Maps doesn't recognize the address as Pondfield Lane, but does recognize Pond Field Lane to give you the correct directions. It is centrally located, and driving to Bar Harbor and the Loop were easy drives within 15 to 20 minutes. We had a wonderful time driving to all of the little harbor towns on the quiet side, as well as walking on the trails. Echo Lake is a short distance, and we saw and heard the loons in the evening! Definitely stop at the lakes/ponds as they are beautiful! There are lots of restaurants and shops, especially in Southwest Harbor and Northeast Harbor, which are not as crowded as Bar Harbor, and parking is free! The Maine Granite Museum is less than a mile away and is very interesting! Gardencourt was very clean and well-equipped with everything we needed. We were welcomed with a jar of blueberry jam and a map of Acadia Park. Lots of other helpful info was supplied on the desk. We were very comfortable and saw deer and turkey just outside the kitchen window about every morning. If you like peace and quiet, we highly recommend staying here! Thanks Vanessa!
