Cottage vacation rentals in Bristol

The most beautiful place, exceeding all expectations. The views are spectacular. We breathed in peace and tranquility. A fabulous place to celebrate my 80th birthday with the whole family -- 16 of us. Everyone was comfortable in the space. In addition to being the perfect host, Samantha provided surprise extras which was such fun! Just a few of the highlights: S'mores at the firepit, lobster dinners, seals, bald eagles and fireworks. She made our stay truly memorable. My family gives the place the highest recommendation.

We had an awesome stay here!! The views are beautiful, the hot tub is awesome and the house was clean! It was also really fun to see the chickens and goats! Would definitely stay here again!

Was a great place for a weekend get together with our family. Right on the water and a great throwback feel but with all the amenities.

It’s a lovely cabin, the hot tub is a plus. It’s also fairly private since it’s last cabin of the property.

The bungalow is cozy and comfortable. We throughly enjoyed the walk through the woods and sauna. Mayya goes above and beyond as a host! She is extremely kind and attentive. Highly recommend!

Adorable cottage, newly renovated. Perfect for two with an open space loft for one more. Kitchen is well stocked right down to the coffee. A good location if visiting Fort Knox, Mt. Barrie and not too far from Bar Harbor if that is on your list. Great stay, highly recommend. Beautiful view and private.

great stay for a relaxing weekend trip. perfect house for chilling but still drivable to Acadia. well stocked on the essentials, linens, and stunning views! host very responsive as well.

We’ve stayed in a lot of Airbnbs across the country and I’m not exaggerating when I say that Lydia’s place was one of the cleanest and most well-maintained homes that we’ve been in. The property and scenery are breathtaking. The numbers of birds and chipmunks that entertained us while we sat on the back deck was surprising. We ate all of our meals with the exception of lunches at the cabin and had everything we needed to prep and cook our food. This trip was all about relaxing and Lydia’s home was everything we needed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!!!

Absolutely loved our stay here! If you're someone who enjoys being close to nature and traveling with your dog, this place is perfect. The surroundings are peaceful and green. Fabiola was super friendly and made everything easy from check-in to check-out. The house rules were clear and straightforward, which made the whole experience stress-free. We felt really welcomed and comfortable the entire time. All in all, a great stay—we’d definitely come back!

Cottage was spotless, everything was as described and the hosts were accommodating. I’m glad I chose this as my place to stay on my visit to Portland

We had a great stay! The house is very nice with a view of the bay and the screened in porch was an great place to be outside but away from the bugs. The surroundings are peaceful and quiet and the house had everything we needed with appropriate notes in all the right places.

Peaceful stay at a beautiful and serene location. Michelle was a wonderful host! The Airbnb was filled with treasures that made our stay charming, peaceful and restful. Highly recommend!!!

Tammy describes her sweet cottage perfectly. Water views are spectacular with options to fish off the dock, sit in the backyard to warm up or sit on the bluff to cool off. It was perfect for this girl and her dog to re-set in solitude. Most places on the water have sensitive septic as described so you want to consider that if there are more than two guests. I enjoyed my endless walks on Popham beach (no dogs 4/1-10/1)) and was thrilled to be there in the off season. I barely saw anyone! Reid State Park was also spectacular and more opportunity to walk my dog on the trails. Tick season is a bit of an adjustment every year but not a problem if you prepare yourself and your furry friends. A perfect place for a great book, wandering around historic Bath, and easy meal prep. I stayed 2 weeks and appreciated all the thought Tammy put into anticipating what a traveler might need.

Popham beach stay was great! We enjoyed the easy access to the beach and long walks twice a day. The house itself is very roomy with lots of space for everyone. Good heating and comfortable furniture. The tapwater is very rusty so be prepared but drinking water is provided. The floors are unfinished wood so you’ll need shoes to avoid splinters but overall, it’s a very comfortable place in a great location!

We had an amazing stay at Jason’s place despite a (mostly) rainy Memorial Day weekend! We still found plenty to do including inside the Airbnb, outside at the pond, and locally at all of the great restaurants/breweries/nature around. We also made it out to Acadia two of our days. I will say, the trip took longer than advertised (about an hour to get to the edge of the park), but was a pleasant enough ride. We also had our two dogs staying with us and we all felt right at home! Jason was a very responsive and helpful host as well - you can’t go wrong with this peaceful retreat on the pond!

The house is behind the owner’s home but it is far enough away to feel very private. The house is comfortable and very clean. The proximity to the town’s harbor is easily walkable. A small grocery store .5 miles away and carries anything you might need!

Cottage was in a perfect location and very private and peaceful. Driving distance to a lot of nice towns and restaurants. Cottage was quaint, clean and had all the essentials. I loved the PDF they supplied before the visit with very clear instructions for check in, check out and parking. They had a ton of recommendations for things to do and places to eat at! We will be back!

I stayed at Liz and Alex’s stunning place at the beginning of September. This was either my 3rd or 4th time and I love being there. The quiet and the utter peacefulness of being literally on the banks of the estuarial river is amazing. Although I was only able to be there for 2 nights this time, I was recharged and ready to go back home when I left. On other visits I’ve taken advantage of being near the delightful town of Damariscotta, Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Hidden Valley Nature Preserve, Muscongus Bay Lobster dock, the Audubon preserve in Bremen, and so many others. On this visit I stayed put, letting the inward and outward flow of the river soothe me while I read and wrote. On this visit I also had a nice long chat with Liz, a remarkably talented woman. See her book and ask about her films when you go.

We had a great weekend getaway at the Owl Glass Cottage. Annie was easy to get in contact with and the location was amazing. Stunning views, great sunsets, and we really enjoyed the outdoor table and going down to the beach to collect sea glass. The only minor difficulty as a tall person was getting up to and down from the loft. This cottage is extremely clean and we felt very safe here. Would highly recommend for a peaceful getaway.

My wife and I stayed at Viktor's place for our honeymoon. As soon as we walked through the door it felt like we were in a second home. We loved using the projector and home theater setup to play Nintendo Switch and watch Netflix. I liked that the bedroom had its own separate A/C unit from the living room. Made it so much easier to set the temperature during the day and evening. The combined washer/dryer unit worked great and didn't have any issues drying our clothes. Nearly every morning we were greeted by neighboring deer who came to feed on the backyard grass. The surrounding area (Georgetown, Bath, and Boothbay Harbor) are really great to find good food, parks, and entertainment nearby. I highly recommend this place. It really is a gem in the middle of the forest.

Had an amazing stay again at Jon’s place on the ocean. Beautiful area and host is very responsive. We will be back. Highly recommend!

I have zero complaints about Gordon's home. Everything was accurately described and the property was beautiful! it is right on the pond and the pictures do it justice. Yes, it's a little small and gets cold in the winter but it's worth it if you want to stay somewhere pretty without breaking the bank. Also, he has 3 heaters. We didn't leave them on because we were gone a lot of the time but it probably would have stayed warm if we did. This is really a great property for a couple! Highly recommended.

I loved my stay and Salisbury Camp. I was there in October during peak foliage and the view from every window was just stunning! The interior is beautiful, everything is high-end and well-done. Huge kitchen that had everything I needed. The yard is right on the shore, there’s a solo stove, kayaks and a canoe, and it’s just a peaceful spot to relax. Jenny was very helpful and proactive in all communications, and even provided welcome treats from Stonewall Kitchen, along with a bottle of wine. I had to leave a day early due to a family medical emergency and she was so thoughtful and kind. My only regret is that I didn’t get to use one of the kayaks to explore the pond. Next time! I definitely plan to return, this is such a wonderful spot!
