Summary: This is our 5th time at The Nub, and it keeps getting better! Angela and her family keep the property in top shape, including making significant improvements (we loved the new carpeting this year!). The location is ideal, and we look forward to returning every year. We feel very fortunate to be able to spend time here. Thanks to Angela for the great communication and warm welcome!

Summary: We loved our stay at this beautiful cabin. Perfect for our family of four that doesn’t mind sleeping in one big room. The views are incredible and you’re able to see seals right off the deck! It’s in a great location minutes from Bar Harbor and Northeast Harbor. The host was incredibly responsive and even greeted us in person our first day there. Would definitely recommend!

Summary: We were fortunate to be able to stay at The Nub again this year, and it remains our favorite place to stay. Spending days hiking the mountains of Acadia and returning to The Nub at night is incredibly restorative. Angela is a great host, receptive to all of our needs, even those we didn't know we had! We hope to return again next year!

Summary: The property location is absolutely perfect for many reasons…. 1). All trailheads are within 15 minutes. We hiked Beehive, Jordan Cliffs, Beech Cliffs, and South Bubble. 2). Right on Somes Sound so every morning you wake up to an incredible view of the water (I would remove a branch or 2 to open up the view a bit more). It was September so we took one icy dip (Somes Sound Challenge) but enjoyed the rocks and searching for shells and other treasures. 3). Close to all the great Lobster Pounds. Our favorite was C-Rays. The house is small but perfect for our family of 5. The kids (6,9,11) loved having the second floor all to themselves. No rails on bunk beds so they spread out on the 4 ground level beds. Nice bathroom for them on that floor as well. Kitchen is loaded if you like to cook. Only thing missing was a microwave which would help when trying to heat up those amazing lobster pound leftovers. Plenty of games (checkers, backgammon, etc) to stay busy at nights. There is a TV but we never turned it on. Great wood stove in the main family room we used frequently. Kids loved the outdoor deck shower. Plenty of deck furniture, grill, etc. We spent a lot of time in the afternoon enjoying the deck space with a cold beer after the crazy iron rung hikes. Angela was awesome to work with. She left lights on for us as she knew we were arriving after dark and was super responsive to our questions prior and during through email and text.

Summary: A perfectly quaint cottage on the sound with every amenity you need for a relaxing stay. We loved the big deck to enjoy the sounds of the water (and seals!) and had everything we needed (and more) in the house. Angela was a great host - very responsive and offered excellent recommendations. Location is conveniently located to everything on the island. Would highly recommend!

Summary: This was our second time being able to stay at Angela’s Nub camp, and it was simply perfect! The Nub has everything you want with sights galore. Swimming and kayaking in the Sound within reach of seals is a memory that is really unmatched. The location is incredibly convenient too. After days of arduous and amazing hiking, coming back to the Nub was a perfect ending to the day. We really appreciate Angela’s communication and her ability to make our stay so comfortable. We hope to be back again next year. Thanks, Angela!

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at Angela’s property. It’s an incredibly special place on the Sound. We can’t wait to go back and swim and kayak among the seals! Angela is a lovely host and the house had everything we needed. We had a wonderful stay.

Summary: The location is almost as good as it gets if you want to be right near the national park as well as close to Bar Harbor for shopping, food, etc. The views, all day long are pretty and peaceful. We did a lot of hiking, biking and eating. The home itself is odd and Angela is more than willing to admit that. It's like someone took the 1970s and gave it a little nudge with an Internet connection. It's not that things were were broken or unusable, more that it felt like they were young antiques :). It was almost anachronistic. You have to see it to understand. We were only two people so there was more than enough room. I think it would've been fine for a family of 4-6 and stretching it for much more. If you don't mind not having a microwave or a TV (the listing says there's a TV but not that we saw), you'll be fine. The host is incredibly nice and acts as I would if I were a host; as a friendly person providing a home for people to enjoy, rather than being a stiff landlord. We had nice conversations with her on the way in and on the way out,

Summary: What a relaxing and restful week we had at the Nub! We discovered so many beautiful places around Mt.Desert Island, and we enjoyed peaceful times on the deck with the view over Somes Sound. The Nub is such a comfortable place with a warm rustic character.

Geoff G. Sep 12, 2021 09:53:31 AM

Summary: We just returned from a great week at Mt. Desert Island and Acadia. We were lucky enough to stay at this lovely home. The house is close enough to everything but also a beautiful, serene home base away from the crowds of Bar Harbor. Angela was very helpful and attentive. Would absolutely stay again.
