About this property

Oceanfront Luxury Estate - Spectacular Views from Every Room

Private family estate with spectacular ocean views from every room. Located near the small, working harbor village (buy your lobsters right off the docks) of Cutler, Maine. Our property encompasses a large tract of land adjoining conservation ground for hiking and stargazing, silence and solitude. Back a private mile and half drive through fragrant spruce, firs and mosses, walk right out onto a large, privately-owned stretch of bold coastline.

This exceptional property hosts a heath (bog), pitcher-plants, grouse, bobcat and eagles. Whales and seals are regularly observed from the deck of the house. Moose are often spotted in the driveway. Watch the lobstermen pull their traps in front of the house. Soak up incredible sunrises and sunsets, misty fogs and sparkling seas. Storm spray can hit the windows of the house during a good Nor'easter..

- Approx. an hour and a half to Acadia Nat'l Park, forty minutes to Quoddy Head State Park, Lubec, Campobello Island and Roosevelt's summer home. Minutes to local restaurants, shops, University of Maine campus and bookstore. Spectacular hiking at Western Head and Bold Coast Trails out of Cutler.

This large home includes four finished levels. Bedroom one includes one king poster bed and spectacular views of sea and sky. Bedroom two includes two queen beds, en-suite bath with soaking tub, open shower, private balcony and views of treetops, sunrise and dramatic coastline. Bedroom three includes one queen bed, one daybed with trundle, walk-in cedar closet, spectacular coastline and sunset views and, access to second story balcony. Bedrooms one and three share full bath with open Italian tile shower and a soaking tub with picture window overlooking the open sea.

On the first floor, there is one queen bed, a full bath with step-in shower and a powder room

There is a walk-out, oceanfront lower level with two queen size, fold-out sofas, extra refrigerator and large deck.

Tastefully furnished throughout. Well equipped kitchen with custom cherry cabinets, tile floors, breakfast bar with seating, stainless appliances, gas range, open to dining area with large granite dining table and spectacular sunset and ocean views.

Great-room well stocked with books, music, puzzles, videos/DVD's, maps, and nature guides. Ceiling fans and stunning views in every room.

From the fourth floor OBSERVATION TOWER, watch the stars cross the sky and whales, lighthouse and ships in the distance. Open all the windows and fall asleep to the sounds of waves and foghorns (one twin bed).

Kayak/canoe rentals, whale-watching, puffin/arctic tern, and seal spotting trips available nearby.

The siting of this house makes it inappropriate for very small children.

Epic

Our family had an unforgettable stay at a breathtaking Cutler home. The gracious hosts welcomed us into a house that had everything we needed. Spacious living areas, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, and a large game room provided ample space for our family. Every angle of the home offered stunning views - from the panoramic ocean vistas to the serene forest panoramas. Multiple decks furnished with comfortable seating allowed us to fully soak in the beauty surrounding us.

Truly a special place!

We had a family gathering and this property was nothing short of perfect! The house has plenty of room for guests and absolutely stunning views from every window. But the best part has to be the property itself, the private hiking trails, the cliffs, the pebble beach, the heath, the list could go on. As an avid outdoorsman and traveler, I can confidently say this is the coolest and most peaceful property I have every been on! It is truly like having your own nature preserve. This is honestly one of those places you think twice about writing a review as it's just that special and you want to keep it for yourself... If you like the outdoors, ocean and just having a relaxing break from it all this is the place!

Absolutely Breathtaking!

We have traveled to Maine for many years and this was by far our most amazing trip yet. Caroll's property and the views are breathtaking. There is a beautiful view from each and every window. We never wanted to leave. Everything about our stay was special, from waking up to the scenic, rocky shores, to our lobster boils every evening. The house is very large, with spacious bedrooms and living spaces. The pictures Caroll has on her site really show the beauty of the house and all the beauty around it.

oceanfront Maine coast estate a must!

This house is absolutely stunning and was spotless when we arrived. The furnishings and overall decor are beautiful yet comfortable. If you love extravagance in the wilderness with small quaint towns nearby this is it. Unlimited fantastic photo opts. The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking. The hiking is awesome, the scenery is unbelievable. We hiked every day and also had fun shopping and lunching within the adorable surrounding towns. This is a property that would be great for a romantic getaway, family gatherings, or just a friends getaway. Overall 5 star experience. Thanks! We will be back.

Fourth Visit!

This was our fourth visit to this wonderful location. We love it! If you are looking for a place to completely get away from everyone, this is it. This was the first time we never left the property the entire week, (except to pick up lobster) and the week went by faster than any other. Days filled with walking and climbing rocks. Evenings having a campfire while listening to the ocean. We were lucky to have a meteor shower while we were there too. So beautiful at night! It is impossible to express how unique this property is and it has become a favorite vacation destination for my entire family. We can’t wait to return! Thanks Carroll and Maureen!

Quintessential Maine Oasis

Sommerled is a private oasis that honestly has the best views in the area. It's like having your own land preserve with all the comforts of home! The house is easy to find and was immaculate when we arrived. After gasping at the ocean view, the only problem you'll have is deciding on which room to sleep in. We chose the "Green" room and were lulled to sleep by the sound of crashing waves each night. And not to worry, the house cools down very quickly - the ceiling fans are terrific, too. The location is only a 25 minute drive to restaurants in Machias or a 5 minute drive to Cutler to get your lobster off the boat! Hiking preserves are also only 5 minutes away and honestly, the drive to Lubec or Eastport is so scenic you won't mind the 45 minutes. The owners, Carroll and Maureen, are lovely and provide you with lots of information about the house and the area. This house is perfect for those who like the quiet and want to get in touch with nature all the while being able to enjoy a large comfortable home that has everything you need.

Family get away

This is one of the most beautiful places i have even been to! As soon as i saw the pictures i knew we needed to stay here. When we first started down the driveway we were in amazement of how secluded it was. We pulled up and couldn’t believe how perfect it was. The house is huge. There was 14 of us and there was plenty of room for us all to have our own space. The kitchen was nice and big and great for a big family to enjoy. The living room was perfect for my grand daughter to enjoy and crawl around in. It was very foggy all week but we still enjoyed sitting on the deck and did lots of hiking. We hiked everyday down to pebble beach. We didn’t see any wild life. Just lots of little squirrels. I think we might even try to go again next year!

Somerled

We had a wonderful time at Somerled. The house was comfortable, clean and well stocked. Most evenings were clear and incredible for star gazing…others foggy but that was cool too. The closest grocery or restaurant is about 30 mins away so meal planning was important. A minor thing for us was the well water, we bought our drinking water. For a group of 8 people that turned out to be a lot of water. The property is truly spectacular. We hiked around a lot and spent a lot of time on the deck just looking out at the incredible view. Personally, I could move in there quite happily for a summer. It is so quiet and the area is beautiful. I think people who like more restaurants and night life might prefer somewhere else. We went whale watching out of Lubec and had an early dinner there. Also visited Eastport and had lunch. Had a beer in Machias after a hike. There are so many books, puzzles, games and things to do at the house…a ping pong table and fire circle. We enjoyed it all. Thank you so much!

Beautiful House on the Spectacular Bold Coast

Our extended family has enjoyed staying at this wonderful house three times. Our first visits were back in 2010 and 2011 and we were delighted to return again this summer. The location was just as we remembered with gorgeous views from every room. It's a very comfortable house and there was plenty of room for everyone (four generations under one roof!) and a everything needed for a relaxing vacation. There are many great hiking trails nearby, but you might be tempted to just stay put and watch the ocean waves from the deck.

Mainmemories

We have have been vacationing in Maine for many years, and words cannot describe the beauty of Somerled. If you are dreaming of the perfect spot on the edge of the ocean...if you long to be surrounded by the vastness of the sea...if you imagine yourself watching the sunlight and moonlight bounce like diamonds on ocean, then Somerled is the place for you. It is a place for family and friends to go on adventures up Bold Coast Trail or find neat rocks and little ecosystems hidden in the rock/cliffs on Pebble Beach. It is a place to sing songs by a campfire or cook dinner together in the well-equipped kitchen. However, I must say that the absolute best amenity is the ability to just lose track of time and focus on family and not on a clock. I will also warn you that when looking out at the never ending beauty of the sea, you will have not choice but to peacefully vanish into yourself and smile. Many years ago my daughter named our adventures to Maine, "Mainmemories." We were all touched by how much Somerled truly impacted our hearts and our spirits. We were so sad to leave this wonderful place, but appreciate all the joy it brought to us. Somerled will forever be part of our collection of "Mainmemories" and we hope to visit again soon.

AMAZING Property!

Our entire stay was fabulous. We enjoyed everything about the house/property. The house was well stocked and very clean. The outdoor space was well-kept and very beautiful. The house is remote and very quiet. Be sure and plan a visit to the surrounding communities. Eastport was our favorite. If you are looking for a true Maine experience without all the tourists, THIS IS your place. 5+ stars!

Somerled is an amazingly beautiful place. The Location is just perfect and the house is beautiful. A view of the ocean from every room. One can never tire of the view. We saw seals, porpoises, bald eagles, porcupines, ducks and sea birds. Great hiking trails nearby and a quaint working harbor where we experienced true “Down East” living.

Don’t think twice, just go!

Rarely in the world of vacation rentals does a property so amazingly exceed your expectations. Stunning views from a warm and welcoming property are offered from our new friend Carol...a completely charming host. Perfectly appointed, each room offers a window to the rocky coast of Northern Maine. Unique hiking trails, crashing waves, views of both sunrises as well as sunsets from this home are simply magical. My only hesitation leaving this review is that if more people go then it might not be available the next time we want the home. Don’t think twice about your decision, just go!

Great home on the rocky coast of Maine.

DownEast Comfort with Million Dollar Views

Tackling the 1.5 mile rustic driveway through deep woods is a little daunting but once you arrive and see Somerled for the first time, it is so worth the effort it took to get there! The house is situated on a cliff overlooking the sparkling waters of Fundy Bay, with no neighbors or cars to intrude on the peace and solitude of this beautiful location. We were a mixed generational group of 11, ranging in age from 22 months old to 72 years and we spent 4 wonderful days together in this spacious and welcoming home. There was more than enough room for all of us to spread out and not feel at all crowded and we lacked for nothing in terms of comfortable furnishings and a very well equipped kitchen. Even our littlest one had a full size crib instead of the usual pack n' play provided in most rentals and we really appreciated the availability of two baby gates to prevent her from trying to climb the staircases. Carol and Maureen were wonderful to communicate with and responsive to all our questions prior to the trip. They checked in on us by email to make sure everything was going well once we arrived. We shopped in well stocked grocery stores in Machias and Lubec and found more than enough variety in both little towns to keep our hungry bunch well fed. We cooked at home for our group each night, using the large outdoor gas grill and on our last night steamed 25 pounds of fresh Maine lobster, sourced from a local lobsterman recommended by the Daniels. It was ourstanding and a fitting way to end a wonderful trip. Four days was not nearly enough to enjoy all that Somerled and the surrounding area have to offer and we hope to have the opportunity to return to this extraordinary, unspoiled part of Maine.

All of coastal Maine in one place

This property has everything my family and I love about Maine; the ocean and rocky shore, pines, birch, scrub brush, and woodland trails. The house is perfectly designed and situated, with the sights and sounds of the ocean as your front yard. The interior is wonderfully spacious with large, open common areas and an enormous finished lower level as well the many bedrooms, all beautifully decorated, and we also enjoyed relaxing on the large deck. The kitchen is so well appointed that our only challenge was remembering which cupboard to look in for what we wanted, and the downstairs refrigerator was a great backup. In addition to scrambling on the rocks there are several trails on the property, and just walking along them was highly memorable for the ethereal beauty of the moss-covered landscape, and the magic of the large heath. It is coastal Maine, so Deet and permethrin-treated clothing are very highly recommended for outdoor activities. With those protections I was comfortable in the woods and on the shore, though those more uncomfortable with hovering insects should consider mosquito head nets, which others in our group found very effective. We visited Eastport, which is about an hour, and Lubec, about half that, as well as making runs into Machias – also about a half-hour – to re-stock at Hannaford, have dinner at Helen’s, and bring back pizza from Pat’s. We also visited the Roque Bluffs, but passed on planned visits to the Cutler Coast area and Campobello Island because we realized we’d only be going there for what we already had, right where we were. (In timing trips in or out, be aware that most mapping software, including Google Maps, apparently assign a default speed limit to the driveway and assume you will travel it in a few minutes, but fifteen is more on the mark. However, the view along the way is part of the experience.) The Daniels are gracious hosts, available but not obtrusive, checking in by text to make sure everything was in order and wishing us a wonderful time (and being extremely understanding when we managed to trip the security system by accident, which was easily remedied). This home appears to have been built by a family, for a family, and I am sure there are many wonderful memories stored in it. I am grateful to the Daniels for making it possible for my family to create some of our own.

A Slice of Heaven

Beautiful, spacious property with incredible views and complete privacy! Just what we were hoping for! Be prepared for mosquitos.

About the host

Hosted by Carroll Daniels

Host profile image
We traveled extensively up and down the eastern seaboard (as well as across the US and internationally) before coming across the unspoiled natural beauty and friendliness of the people of Cutler, Maine and the surrounding area. We wanted a place to escape the crowds of the lower coast and spend undisturbed time, hopefully for generations, with family and loved ones in an inspiring and spectacular setting.

Why they chose this property

Your party will enjoy complete privacy in an unspoiled setting. A stay at this property is like having a portion of Acadia all to yourselves! Enjoy hiking, exploring, relaxation, and getting away from everything, yet within an easy drive of interesting and beautiful outings - Visit Campobello, Acadia, Eastport, Lubec and and the unspoiled wildness and beauty of the Down East coast!

What makes this property unique

The bold, crashing sea, away from all the crowds is the first and foremost attraction! Yet, additionally, we had never before seen stars like you will see from the deck of the house. You will feel like you can reach up and touch the milky way. In the late fall, the northerrn lights are mesmerizing. The smell of the sea and pines soothe the soul and the quiet and respectful pace of life in this part of the country reminds us of the amazing beauty and kindness that it is still possible to find in very special places.
