#1 Cozy cottage minutes from the beach!
We had a great stay for a few days on our way to Nova Scotia. Cottage was clean and had everything we needed.

Bright, clean, private cottage near Higgins Beach!
We had a fantastic time at this cute and cozy cottage! It’s within 15 minutes of basically anything in the Portland area and the cottage itself is so charming and inviting. We only wish we had planned to stay here longer!

Cozy Maine Cottage by the Sea
This is our third time at this cottage. I presume it says it all! thank you so much! The place is extremely cozy and spotless.

True Maine Artist Cottage with Outdoor Shower
Super cute cottage! I really enjoyed a few peaceful days there on my own, it was exactly what I was looking for. It's very charming and has everything you need. Like others have mentioned, you can definitely hear the road noise so it doesn't feel totally secluded but that didn't detract from my stay. Emily was a great host, provided lots of helpful information, and very quick to respond.

Waterscape Cottage - private waterfront
Great stay at Ann’s cozy cottage. It was the perfect way to end our trip in the most restful way.

Cozy Cottage on Highland Lake
Perfect little Maine cabin getaway! We enjoyed our stay so much. The cabin was clean, easy to find, and had everything we needed for four people and two dogs. Cannot recommend enough!

Spectacular Water View Cottage
Cute and clean! Surprisingly spacious. When we walked in my first impression was how comfortable this cottage was. We immediately felt at home. Location was ideal with plenty of local recommendations in the property binder. Wicasset, across the river, was really cute with plenty of interesting dining options.

Lozier’s Lookout- Lakefront, Millinocket Lake
Lozier's lookout was exactly what my group needed for our visit to Baxter State Park. The cabin is on a dirt road close to Millinocket and Baxter. There are other houses nearby but the location is private enough. The cabin was clean and exactly as described.

11 Cute 1Br Acadia Cottage Open Hearth Inn
We stayed here our last night while visiting Acadia. Super cute little cabin! We loved that they had a common space in the main house that was full of supplies and very welcoming. Would stay here again!

Canoe House Bungalow and Spa Retreat ,Searsport
We had a great two nights here and enjoyed the hot soak and the sauna. It was near many amenities and also felt very removed. Matt’s was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our stay was perfect and the escape we hoped it would be.

Lawn Cottage - Newly Renovated 2024
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.

Nashport on the Penobscot
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.

Waterfront Getaway w/ Private Sandy Beach
Perfect for what we needed for a weekend getaway. So peaceful and a lot of interesting wildlife. We saw so many different types of birds! The hot tub is spacious and easy to use.

Megunticook Retreat
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.

Newly Built Cozy Cottage in the heart of Maine
I spent a week at this beautiful little cabin with my two grandchildren. It was the perfect size and looks just as beautiful as the pictures inside and out. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and the beds were very comfortable. The lake can be seen from the cabin and we enjoyed the dock for fishing and watching the ducks. It’s very close to town for groceries etc but very quiet and peaceful on a dead end street. Jason was very welcoming and always available for questions and quick to respond. The only thing that would have made it better for my grandkids is if there was easier access for getting into the lake with a a little beach area or a lawn that went down to the water. But if you want a quiet get away in beautiful surroundings don’t hesitate.

Cozy Cottage with Ocean Views, Wells Maine
This was the perfect place for my wife and I, and three of our friends to stay for our intimate wedding weekend! We will definitely be back for another vacation!

Taproot Cottage at Stone Mountain
Caren and Jaime made me feel at home and I was impressed with their attention to details. I found everything I could possibly need in the house. I hope to be back in the future and certainly recommend their place!

Private, Oceanfront House in St. George, Maine
Man-oh-man. This place is an absolute gem! We loved how very “Maine” it felt. The views were breathtaking, the house was comfortable and tidy, and Suzanne’s binder of recommendations and house instructions was very helpful. Walking Clark Island was so fun. We loved Camden and hiked Mt. Battie. Even took a day trip to Bar Harbor and biked around Acadia. If you want to kayak at Suzanne’s place, call Dan over at Ducktrap Kayak. He’s a very nice guy and the property is perfect for getting out on the water. All in all, it was a lovely trip and we would choose this stay again!

Oceanfront Island: Hiker & Honeymooner’s Paradise
Jane and her cottage were spectacular. We were looking for a place to unwind and decompress, and this was all that plus the bonuses of a luxuriously appointed, thoughtfully decorated and absolutely spotless home, with an unparalleled view of the ocean in its ever-changing moods, shimmering sunsets and moonrises, cavorting seagulls and flocks of geese, and a soundtrack of waves, songbirds and gull calls. We felt welcomed like houseguests at a good friend's home who had just stepped out for a little bit. We forgot to look for the fabled map drawer (mentioned by another reviewer) but were intrigued by the many books on the shelves by Maine authors, and short stories that we read aloud to each other. One of us walked the 4.5 mile loop trail, rugged but well worth the effort, if one is up to it, for the wild coast and ancient forests. We both sat on the chairs at ocean's edge to drink it all in. This was the very best B&B we've ever stayed at. Kudos to Jane for making her home available!

Waterfront cottage with spectacular sunset views!
We stayed at the cottage for about a week in late September and it was a perfect spot to get away from it all. The house is on a serene pond with trees reflected on the water, classic Maine. The cottage was clean and well kept with most everything you’d need. It’s in a very quiet neighborhood, so not a party spot, which worked out fine for our quiet family. We’d consider coming back to visit family. Thank you for the comfortable stay!

Owl Glass Cottage
Out of the busy part of town but very drivable to many locations. We went south and north to find hiking spots and beaches. The sunset was amazing from both inside and outside of the cottage. Thanks Annie for the recommendations. Your place is super cute.

Sebec Lake Camp with Sandy beach and Mountain View
My family of three had a great time at this camp. It’s a lovely remote getaway and nice spot for swimming, BBQing, camp fires and has a beautiful view of Borestone Mountain.

The Nest will be your Maine recreational retreat!!
A little slice of heaven! The Nest was everything we hoped for and more. The sunsets over the crystal-clear lake were stunning, but what really struck us was how long the colors linger in the sky up here, creating the most peaceful and relaxing mood to close out each day. The cabin itself was cozy, thoughtfully designed, and the perfect size for our getaway. We left feeling refreshed and grateful, already looking forward to a return visit.

"Eagles Nest" Waterfront Cottage
The Eagles Nest is an amazing space! We stayed for 4 days and didn't want to leave. The view is beautiful and you must wake early to watch the sunrises. We even saw an eagle. Shannon was very responsive to all messages and super helpful when we needed to leave a different rental property (not one of hers). The home is immaculate. I can't say enough about The Eagles Nest and Shannon.
