The rest of your adventure through Acadia is up to you, but this is a great crash point after hikes and trips to Bar Harbor or the other neighboring towns. Ashlee and Paul - the leagcy owners/ managers - are always on hand for questions or needs, making your stay seaamless and uncomlictaed - and have the freshest lobster right out of the water at an unbeatable price. Intriguing art and decor, well-seated deck, grill, TV, AC and separate heat in rooms great kitchen with everything you need including many non-perishables. Others with decades of devotion to this camp have contributed to the comfort of these cottages. Books, games, puzzles, and journals of memories past brochures for anything you want to do. Incredibly well-stocked right down to a paper-clip if needed. The colors over the mountains change by the second with an uncapturable palette of nature and sky. We saw seal and eagles and loons and chipmunks (and a beautiful skunk checking us out late at night through the glass). Amazing fireplace with provided wood, homey seating, exceptional views of the sound and wildlife. W/D, all other appliances and kitchenware including popcorn maker, blender, stock pots, service for 10+, dish towels, every utensil you would need. The walls are thin - you can hear everyone moving about at night, but the beds and bath, clean with well-supplied linens and towels make for a good night's sleep and showering. The bedrooms are kind of dark and tight, - the loft area is crampy, but fine for kids. The living area is glass-enclosed with views from within. The surrounding property is wooded, rocky outcrops decked with ancient Birch trees and deciduous pine trees.

We stayed at Rock Point, one of several of the properties, this one very close to the water with a private mooring dock. It is a quintessential Mount Desert Island experience on Somes Sound with a long tradition of history and devoted returnees at a very reasonable cost.

These observations are relayed by satellite to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which posts them on the Internet. Many also measure sea surface temperature, wave heights, and wave periods. They measure air temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed, and wind direction. The National Data Buoy Center operates a network of buoys and automatic land-based weather stations along the coast that gather meteorological and oceanographic data.
