Summary: If you are looking for a stay that is filled with historical significance then Willowbrook is perfect! My family and I enjoyed staying in this home that has stood the test of time and is rich in local history. The location was very picturesque and was perfect for us.

Summary: Family vacation with 10 'senior' adults. The farmhouse was lovely/charming. It reminded us so much of the farmhouse we grew up with in NY.(Including bumped heads on slanted ceilings!;-) The owners have done such a nice job of keeping the setting of this historic house true. The location was perfect for watching the sunrise from the front porch, to walking across the street to the historic garden and bridge. One caveat thought is that because the farmhouse has been kept true to its history, this would not be ideal for anyone with mobility issues. We all agreed we would love to come back again. We loved it

Summary: We loved the location of the house, and its many bedrooms, as we are a diverse group of friends - not lots of couples.
Blakely S. Sep 18, 2024 06:02:35 AM
Summary: Great old house with tons of charm. There were so many rooms it took a few days to figure out where everything was! Ample kitchen supplies, nice backyard, great views. We had three cars and were able to park them easily in the yard. Four would probably be doable. Lovely place, we were all satisfied and would happily stay there again :)

Summary: Great property and location. Lots of character. It was very cool to realize that it all started there in Somesville.
Anne C. Aug 7, 2024 10:08:29 PM
Summary: Delightful historic home with updated, comfortable settings. My family thoroughly enjoyed the beauty and comfort provided by the owners!
Norine M. Aug 6, 2024 08:05:52 AM
Summary: Our stay at this property was very nice and was surprised to find its historic importance in the area as it was the home of the Somes family. This home was close to everything we wanted to do, plenty of room for everyone in our family of twelve, 7-78. Grandma and Grandpa remained on the main floor while the younger ones found plenty of beds upstairs to accommodate. My only home suggestion would be new mattresses. The yard was a great place to gather after a busy day, sit around the fire or have dinner from the grill, play games, and roast s'mores. Adirondack chairs would be wonderful around the nice large pit. With the weather so welcoming it was a nightly gathering space. Kitchen worked well with a table and chairs, laundry, all convenient in a busy home. Couldn't ask for a prettier or more convenient area, directly across from bus stop, pond, library and historical society, and just minutes to Acadia National Park, and downtown Bar Harbor. Very pleasant stay.

Summary: This house is perfect for a family vacation! It is well preserved with a wonderful historic vibe and yet comfortable and homey. Once we moved a few things to higher shelves we did not have to remind the little ones not to touch! The location is amazing with water views of Somes Sound and an adorable tiny library across the road. The historical society, art gallery and huge back yard gave lots to do without driving. Plenty of access to the park without the crowds of Bar Harbor. Just what we were looking for!
Robert M. May 28, 2024 02:50:10 AM
Summary: Incredible house with lots of room for the whole family. My only complaint was the living room furniture. Not a comfortable place to sit. But the kitchen dining room bathrooms and bedrooms were all perfect and the grounds were immaculate. We will be coming again. Thank you so much
Amy P. Sep 30, 2023 12:03:12 AM
Summary: The home was everything we had expected. It was very clean, and easy to check in to. We had a great time, and would stay here again!
