House vacation rentals in Dedham

The house was perfect for us. Very clean and organized. Great host always responded in a timely manner. Was only about a 30 to 40 minute drive to Acadia National Park & Bar harbor, depending on traffic it could take longer. If we ever make it back to Maine I would definitely stay at the Higgins Retreat again. Thanks again Richard & Tina.

What a wonderful experience! Rebecca was an absolutely outstanding host, always quick to respond and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. My family and I had such a peaceful stay. The home and location were incredibly tranquil, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The house and property were absolutely beautiful, and we loved sipping our morning coffee on the amazing balconies with the breathtaking views. There is so much space, and every room in the house is well thought out, functional, and cozy. The pool is even better than we hoped, so big and clean and in immaculate condition. We spent most of our time swimming and relaxing by the pool. We also enjoyed playing pool and having so many rooms to gather in with the comfort of plenty of new comfy furniture. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind for a vacation away from all the noise and chaos of daily life. Every single area was as described in the listing and better. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

We felt like at home. The house is located in a private property with swimming pool and tennis courts. It’s very clean and very peaceful. Just a clarification about the description : there’s no bathroom in the basement. Then if you come with elderly people or very young kids, it could be annoying. If you like cooking, the kitchen is very well equipped. We´ll keep a very good memory of our stay in Ducktrap Retreat during the colorful foliage season.

Thank you Christina! Great weekend stay for UMaine graduation. Great location from campus and stores for the things we forgot (haha).

Booked this place for our anniversary to get away from the city for a weekend.. we found exactly what we were looking for! The hot tub was wonderful, the house was clean and cute, and we had everything we could have needed! Estelle was very responsive and gave clear instructions for everything. Would recommend this place for a quiet getaway or a small group trip in the summer!

My return visit to the Boathouse was even lovelier than I hoped it would be. The location can't be matched by anything else I've seen. I enjoyed a September visit with my dog and was lucky to have pristine weather. I lived a very simple and healthy outdoors life and came home the better for it. The Boathouse is true to its description: it is simple and rustic and uncomplicated but well-equipped, and is perfect for one-and-dog, or for two people. A little coming-and-going from the neighboring houses meant that I didn't feel isolated. Margaret is truly an exceptional and friendly host who communicates promptly and clearly. I almost hesitate to share "my" Boathouse location with too many of my back-home friends because it feels so intimate and special. I already want to be back there. I offer my deep thanks to Margaret and to the place that I could - briefly - call home.

I recently stayed with my family at this incredible Airbnb that exceeded all my expectations. This property offered a hot tub, a pool table, and a level of privacy and tranquility that made for a truly relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was being able to watch the northern lights from the hot tub – it was absolutely magical. We spent a week in Acadia, and the location was perfect, just 15-20 minutes from Bar Harbor or the nearest town. The hosts were very responsive, and the place was fantastic for families, being both kid and pet friendly. It was a week filled with unforgettable moments, and I can't recommend this place enough!

We had a great stay at this house! Plenty of beds for everyone. Convenient to get to Acadia and bar harbor with a short drive!

What a dream it was to stay in this beautiful, dog-friendly spot! Being able to let my pups run, play, and explore the woods was such a gift. The loft, with its high ceilings, was warm and inviting, and the bed was so comfortable I didn’t want to get up! Tony was a kind and welcoming host—I’m already looking forward to my next stay.

Great stay at the lake and convenient stay to go visit Acadia National Park. The property is beautiful and the owners are very friendly and accomodating.

We, my son, daughter and I, have said that this was one of our favorites we've stayed at in our forays away from home for work. The interior spaces were thoughtfully decorated which gave it a homey feel. Well done Lindsae!

Everything was perfect — from the beautiful views to every detail inside, we could not be more happy with our stay! We loved watching the sunset from the fire pit and listening to the wildlife sounds after a fun day in Acadia. Thank you for such an incredible place to stay! We look forward to coming back!

We attended a wedding at nearby Camp Roosevelt. This house was the perfect location for that. It was clean and welcoming. It is located in a quiet and beautiful location. Christina and Matthew were very responsive.

This lake house. There is something about the state of Maine that we love. And now....there is something about this lake house that we love too. The location is great. You feel secluded & away from things, but you are not far from anything. This was our 2nd time staying, & we can not wait to stay again. Hoping to return in October. As the Maine quote goes, The way life should be, is exactly how we feel about the state & the lake house.

We can't say enough great things about this place! Camp Nacho exceeded our expectations exponentially. The views are beautiful. The neighborhood is extremely quiet and peaceful. The cabin had everything we needed and more. Amon was easy to communicate with and so friendly. We enjoyed the kayaks and the fire pit! We stayed with our 6 kiddos and they had a blast. So many amazing memories were made during out stay!

We loved our three nights at Seabank. The house was comfortable and immaculate, the kitchen well equipped, and the location—overlooking tidal Goose Bay with views toward Mount Desert Island—could not have been more tranquil (plus an easy 20-minute drive to Acadia/Bar Harbor). Robard was a terrific host, quick to answer our questions, and even lending a hand to ensure that we were able to check in early. We lucked into gorgeous weather and spent lots of time outdoors, reading on the deck, kayaking in the bay at high tide, and relaxing around the fire pit.

This was an absolutely incredible stay! Richard was exceptionally responsive and thoughtful from start to finish. The cabin was exactly as described—beautifully maintained, cozy, and stocked with everything you could possibly need for a memorable getaway. The surprise gift bag and handwritten note were such a kind and personal touch that made us feel instantly welcome. The location is serene and stunning, offering peaceful seclusion while still being a short, scenic drive to both Bangor and Bar Harbor—perfect for our itinerary. We truly couldn’t recommend this place more and are already hoping to return in the summer to experience it all over again!

The house was clean and organized, comfortable!! Centralized for all areas of things to do!! Close to casino!! Very nice place !!

This house was perfect for a getaway to Bangor! Scott was a great communicator and answered all of our questions about the surrounding area. This house had all the comfort's of home, would highly recommend for anyone traveling in the area.

Stayed here on our family trip to Acadia NP. Place was hidden gem in a quiet neighborhood right off US1. Clean and everything was fully functional. Very well maintained and clear instructions. Christian was very polite and helpful along the way.

The house was very clean and looked just like the pictures. All of the beds were very comfortable. This Airbnb had the most well stocked kitchen and bathrooms I’ve ever been in. Plenty of seasonings for cooking and the bathrooms had first aid kit, menstrual products, soap and shampoo. We didn’t need to purchase anything. There was even dishwasher pods and laundry detergent. Outdoors was wonderful, it was so peaceful and quiet.

Sadly, I can confirm the heat works even though our stay was over Memorial Day weekend! We had rainy cold weather and were unable to enjoy all the house has to offer but it was a fantastic house and would have been spectacular in nice weather. We did, at least, enjoy the sauna to warm up! House was very clean and comfortable. Our only complaint was that we love to cook and eat meals together as a family of 5 and there were very few cooking utensils available. The lack of a dishwasher meant lots of dishwashing by hand for us. We also noted there were no plastic plates/glasses which, had we been able to spend time outside, would have been preferable to risking broken glass on the deck, near the fire pit or near the water.

This Airbnb was amazing! So quiet and right on the water. Stunning views (an amazing sunrise every day). Inside is a little rustic but very comfortable. Cute little fire pit area next to the water in the yard. The lake is so clear and looked amazing, it was just a bit cold for an October swim. The layout is great and was very spacious for two but I could see sharing it with a couple. The drive to Arcadia and Bar Harbor was manageable and easy, lots of cute quaint Maine small town charm from Ellsworth to Bar Harbor. We’ll be returning for another visit.

The house was a perfect alternative for my sister and our parents to stay together in one place. We were in town from MD for a celebration of life and our dad wanted to show us around his childhood city of Bangor. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed.
