Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Deer Isle

This is a beautiful hidden little gem. The cottage is right on the water facing west, perfect to catch the sunsets every night. The place is comfortable and homey. The local store (Dunbar’s) had everything we needed and more, including a deli and hot food. We enjoyed some time in Acadia, which is about an hour drive, but trust me it was worth the drive to stay at Plover’s Cottage. I would definitely stay again. Mark, the host, was available for questions and even brought more firewood to make sure we got to enjoy the fireplace.

While it might seem a tad bit pricey it's right in line with all of this desirable area particularly in that you have the whole place, not just an apartment. The setting is beautiful and you could stay for a month and not run out of new experiences. We loved being on the "quiet side" of MDI in SW Harbor. Hosts were great to work with and I also appreciate we were able book on short notice after another reservation mysteriously disappeared from the app.

James’ place was absolutely amazing! The views of the lake are stunning and he graciously accepts dogs in his home. We had access to the canoe and kayaks and fire pit, which could easily be enough for a stay in the house. The house was clean and in a private area. I would recommend this lake house to anyone looking for a quiet retreat. If I were to stay here again, the only thing I would do is probably bring my own pans to cook with.

A great place to stay in such a great area. Feels so in the middle of nowhere but in a good way. The stars are beautiful at night, the house was gorgeous, and they have plenty of games to play since there is no TV. But we didn’t miss the TV at all! Whoever sleeps upstairs will be forced to wake up with the sun because of the lack of curtains but also not a bad problem to have :) And the bathroom floors are heated, which is such a nice amenity!

Great stay for our family of 5 adults and 3 toddlers! Lots to do and great proximity to Acadia/Bar Harbor. House was well supplied with clear instructions. Brady also connected with us before the stay and kept in touch for anything that came up as a concern. Thank you!

Staying at Ty's place was lovely! Beautiful kitchen, plenty of space, easy to work the appliances and the TV. Really loved that shower, beautiful pressure, and location was glorious, very close to the famous Andre the seal, whose story is really worth a watch on youtube. Ty was communicative with loads of recs, and even lent us a kayak to go out on the nearby Lily pond, very characteristically full of lilies. Would absolutely stay again!

We enjoyed our stay the home had very nice touches, like charging stations and water bottles. The home had a lot of towels, the beds were comfortable and it was extremely clean!

A perfect spot just outside of Acadia. Nestled on a private road that is beautiful also! Immaculately clean and very responsive host. My only issues was the beds- for me they were not comfortable but I prefer a firm bed. I definitely would come back here when visiting Acadia again.

Nice place! I had a great time here with my dog. The host gave us instructions when we arrived, and he response very quickly and friendly. Highly recommend

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

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!

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.

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.

We got a very rainy week in Maine but still enjoyed the beautiful, comfortable and well stocked house, views, decks and incredible garden. Beautiful restaurants, bookstores and wine and antique shops near by. Hope to return to very soon.

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!

The location was perfect - you didn’t need your car to get around. We were right at the main square or park with lots of interesting shops and restaurants close by. We were 10 minutes from Acadia National Park. Highly recommend spending the extra $6 to drive up Cadillac Mountain. The unit was well appointed, clean, and had games for the kids to play. I did’t care for the shower but I am not used to a claw-foot tub shower. Overall really enjoyed our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at Blue Hill in the Woods. The location was great for our needs and the unit itself was perfect. Plenty of space and the surroundings were so quiet. Also they actually provided towels that made you feel like you were staying in a luxury hotel as well as welcome goodies. I would highly recommend staying here.

great location to get around to other areas of MDI - super easy drive to Bar Harbor and multiple locations around Acadia. very clean house, thanks !

From the start, Claire was wonderful. Super friendly, responsive to my one question, and helpful. The cottage has just been completely renovated and was perfect. Even Mila the dog felt welcome and loved it. Will definitely be going back!

Spent a relaxing long weekend at the cabin. Idyllic location right on the water with plenty to do outside. We enjoyed making fires, fishing, and exploring in the canoe. Inside, the cabin was thoughtfully decorated and very comfortable. Camden is nearby for a nice dinner or a stroll and shopping downtown. Acadia is also close enough for a day trip. Checkin/checkout was very straightforward, and the host was helpful and quick to answer any questions. Hope to visit again!

Centrally located for both Deer Isle and Stonington. Overall very clean as well as a well stocked kitchen. Loved the grand piano! Plenty of room for the three of us. I'd return any time.

This was a truly magical stay! Peaceful, private, comfortable… The most well thought out and welcoming off-grid lodging I’ve ever stayed in! The cabin itself is spectacular and the surrounding garden and forest are just enchanted. Rod was an incredible host, responsive and so accommodating when I needed to shift my reservation. I would stay there again in a heartbeat! Don’t even hesitate on this one!

we stayed at Mark's place for four nights and loved our stay. The bedroom in the boat house is beautiful- almost panoramic water views. At high tide the water almost comes up to the deck! The house was extremely quiet and conveniently located on the island. Mark was extremely friendly and ensured we had everything we needed. Kitchen is well stocked with all the necessities and towels and linens were top notch.

I had a lovely visit with a good friend. The air bnb stood out to us because of how beautiful the photos were and they didn’t do the place justice. It was so nice to stay in a place that felt like it was cut from a magazine. The home is in a private space but not far from restaurants and other towns with cute shops. We were close to lots of hiking trails and coastlines. I am quite sure I’ll be back!
