2 Bedroom House in Somesville, Mount Desert

Located at the top of Somes Sound and midway between Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor, Azalea Knoll is a hidden gem - the perfect location for everything Mt. Desert Island has to offer. In 10 minutes, you can reach hiking trails, carriage roads, restaurants, and shopping.
A two bedroom house which can sleep up to 4, the home’s open floorplan, high ceilings and fully equipped custom kitchen reflect its quiet elegance. Two full bathrooms, including one with a jet tub. There are two decks, a porch and fire pit providing options for relaxation when not exploring the island.
Visitors who want to take advantage of the island’s bus system can pick up the Island Explorer right down the street (please check annual NP schedule).
Homeowners Karen & Colby began visiting MDI in the early 90’s. Their instant love of the island has led to a 25-year exploration of all things “Acadia”. They are eager to share their recommendations to help you build your own wonderful vacation memories!
Do note that we welcome multi-week stays but cap it at two weeks during the season.

Summary: Azalea Knoll is truly a hidden gem. The location is ideal! Peaceful yet perfectly situated between Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor, with quick access to trails, restaurants, and Acadia highlights. The home was spotless and thoughtfully designed, with high ceilings, a great kitchen, and multiple cozy spots to unwind after a day of exploring. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the deck and by the fire pit in the evenings. Karen and Colby were wonderful hosts. We’d absolutely return!
