Vacation rentals with a kayak in Maine

Enjoyed a wonderful weekend here with our family (5 adults, 1 child, 1 dog). The house is very comfortable & beautifully updated/decorated. The setting is even better in person than we were expecting with an expansive lawn perfect for playing games. We had read other reviews about the neighbors having free roaming pet rabbits and saw them quite a bit. Fortunately our dog is a good listener and left them alone but could prove challenging for other dogs depending on their temperament. The lake was gorgeous and the location within one of the coves felt quiet and private while offering easy access to the rest of the lake via boat, kayak, etc. Enjoyed sitting on the dock & picnic table by the waters edge. Appreciated all the kayaks, games, toiletries & kitchen items provided as well as the large deck with grill & the firepit with chairs. Conveniently close to the boat launch, grocery store, restaurants, gas station, etc. if you need to run out for anything. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a great week at the cabin! The view is amazing and it was so relaxing. Courtney was very responsive and attentive. Highly recommend for a cozy getaway in a beautiful setting.

My family loved our stay! The house was beautiful, peaceful, and right by the lake. There was lots to do at the with all the kayaks, canoes, paddle boards available to explore the lake. We spent a couple of days exploring Acadia, but enjoyed just staying at the house enjoying the scenario. James was also a very responsive host.

We loved our stay (late May, 2025). The weather did not cooperate but the house was perfect. Thank you Debbi!

Me and my friends had a lovely time at this lake house, the beds were comfy and there was more than enough room for sixteen of us. The place is very well taken care of and you can tell there is a lot of thought and work put into the home. All the amenities were amazing from the chair to the sauna everything worked great and the hot tub was to die for. We loved our stay and would 100% come again.

This cabin is perfect for a peaceful Maine getaway. Tucked right on the water’s edge, the views are absolutely breathtaking. The cabin itself is cozy. We loved having morning coffee on the dock and taking out the row boat provided. My dog enjoyed being able to swim in the lake. Devon was incredibly welcoming and responsive. If you're looking for a quiet, rejuvenating escape with unbeatable lakefront access, this is it. We can’t wait to come back next season!

Great place out in the country! Beautiful view of the meadow from the bedrooms. Spacious living area with plenty of space for cots or sleeping bags. Really liked the pkace and location!!

Beautiful setting on the lake with a modern, updated home complete with so many thoughtful amenities and touches - would love to return!! Spectacular sunsets and a private dock, too - did some late summer fishing on the Kennebago and the Magalloway - spectacular!

Robert was an incredibly responsive, kind and proactive host. The space is exactly as described, comfortable and Robert has thought of everything. The surroundings are amazing, we loved listening to the loons, watching the chipmunks & even got a glimpse of a beaver one morning. Kayaking was great, with the equipment and dock easy to access and use. We visited Acadia and loved having such a quiet respite after long days exploring the beautiful area. Highly recommend staying here, already thinking about our next trip back!

Mischele really thinks of a traveler when she sets up her place! The extra touch of orange juice, creamer, coffee, freshly baked breakfast is great! Everything is there. Convenient to many great restaurants.

Two things stood out to us: Tim and Melissa were fantastic hosts. Responsive, flexible, and went out of their way to make us feel at home. If anything, they kind of undersell the lakeshore. Beautiful, peaceful, and a large area. We were here too early in the season to take full advantage, but this must be heaven in the summer. Hope to come back during kayaking season.

We had beyond an amazing time staying at this cottage. It was so peaceful and beautiful - my boyfriend spent most of his time fishing and grilling - the dogs had a blast in the water jumping off the dock. It was very close to all the near by beaches and near a lot of shopping plazas.

Loved our time here! It’s about a 40 minute drive from Portland and then 5-10 from Brunswick. The neighborhood is quiet and perfect, exactly what we needed to relax! We loved coming back from Portland and grabbing dinner and gelato in Brunswick, such a nice way to unwind from a long day. Highly recommend and would love to stay here again :)

If I could only use one word to describe our stay in this wonderful cottage it would be: magnificent! We came from NYC and needed a tranquil place to decompress which this cozy cottage was perfect for - the scenery and view over the lake is simply stunning and the cottage has all amenities needed to either enjoy an amazing stay inside (when the weather is not too great and rainy) or simply envelop yourself in nature. K was also an amazing hostess and super responsive to all my questions and a wonderful person to be in touch with! All I can say is book this place, it is worth every penny, you will not be let down!! Hopefully we can one day come back again, and I’ll definitely recommend this place to my family and friends if they ever need a place in Sebec. Thanks so much again to both K and her husband

The place is, as advertised, the cutest. It's equipped as well, having every tool or utensil you might need to enjoy your seafood. This was our first trip Downeast and we found it to be as charming and naturally beautiful as we hoped it would be. The cherry on top was our hosts. Bonnie and Chubba are especially friendly and are true stewards of this grand corner of America.

Beautiful home with fun and comfortable decor. Fabulous main bathroom and shower. All the amenities - in and out. A breathtaking view from a very comfortable, ample, second-story covered deck. (Spent a lot of time there.) Basin is gorgeous with easy water access and dock. Neighbors are close and next door shares stairs to docks. Great hosts too. Would rent again! 😊

We fell in love with this beautiful, magical “tree house”. You couldn’t ask for a more perfect place to share time with friends & family. Beautiful view of the lake & everything you need is there - both inside & outside. This home radiates happiness & reflects the thoughtfulness of the owners. The furnishing are lovely & they have the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. I heartily recommend this cabin the woods. We look forward to returning. Linda

We have stayed at Jackies place twice now and enjoyed it just as much this time as the last. Even though it rained for two days the house is plenty big enough to spread out. We had to change our reservation days twice because of circumstances and Jackie was very accomidating..

We had a great weekend getaway for our anniversary, comfy furniture, felt like a home away from home. Nice and private from the other guests and lots to do on the property with the paddle boards! lots of spots on the lake to explore! Also couldn't help but notice how nice the plumbing was in the cabins. We want to come back in the winter to see how beautiful it looks covered in snow!! 10/10 place! :))

Really good communication! Very welcoming. Private and quiet area. Immaculate inside. Had access to kayak, outside firepit and pond. Outside furniture to enjoy the pond and property.

The cabin was cozy, the view of the lake was incredible, and Bonnie was a great host!

If you want an escape away from anywhere this is the place, tons of wildlife, super cool of Jen to allow us to use the kayaks the pond is gorgeous it’s a must to go out on the pond durring your stay also breakfast at peace love and waffles is 10/10 must kind of pricey but absolutely worth it the neighbors are super cool to I had a chat with one for a while and they seemed pretty nice and even gave me ideas on what to do and some local lore definitely would stay again

My mother and I stayed here for a peaceful weekend and a nearby wedding. As lifelong Mainers, we were looking for a rustic camp on the water with a screened porch, and this place delivered. We spent our time reading, napping, walking, and even doing a little work (the internet was surprisingly fast). It was so nice that we could include our small dog with us as well. While the camp has a rustic charm, it’s thoughtfully outfitted with modern comforts: comfy beds, quality linens, a smart TV, reliable Wi-Fi, and a well-stocked kitchen. The hosts even provided extras most don’t—like paper goods, baggies, matches, and toiletries—and were nearby if anything was needed. They even included shower essentials if you happened to forget any. The sunrise was spectacular from the front porch. Loons swam by daily. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and wish we could have extended it---we would definitely book again! Thank you for being amazing hosts!

We had a wonderful 2-night stay at Hope Floats in Maine with our dog—it was spotless, serene, and exactly what we needed. The peaceful surroundings made it easy to unwind, and the beautifully maintained property gave us plenty of space to relax and reconnect. From morning coffee on the deck to quiet evening strolls, every moment felt like a true escape.
