Cottage vacation rentals in Mount Desert Island

Wonderful place right on the lake. Hugo was super responsive. We had a great time.

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!

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!

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

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.

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 had a magical stay, better than we had imagined. The house and surroundings are beautiful, private, and peaceful. We climbed trees, soaked, showered outdoors to cricket song, and walked barefoot in the well tended garden and forest paths. What an absolute healing sanctuary and delight! Thank you so much!

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

Stayed at the twisted calico cottage for two nights, the property it’s on is beautiful!! It’s clear that Anna worked really hard on making the cottage adorable and accommodating! Wonderful host, beautiful view. I was very nervous bringing my elderly dog to travel for the first time since a major surgery, but Anna was kind and everything went well. I would recommend this to any couples who love quiet peaceful chill vacations, and older dogs that need minimal distractions from other dogs or people. Also was clean and stocked with basic necessities!

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!

Perfect spot for a quick family Acadia weekend. Nice spot, everything was clean and new, and Alicia was always responsive. Thanks!

I had a wonderful stay here! The inside is clean and cozy! Plus we enjoyed being able to cook over the fire and hang out by the lake. The location is private and peaceful. 35 minutes to the entrance of Acadia but depending on what part of the park you are headed to it can be up to an hour drive. I would stay again!

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!

Katy's Cottage was a great place to stay and explore Little Deer Isle, Deer Isle, and the Blue Hill Peninsula. It was a great space to relax, hike, and explore Downeast Maine. The kitchen was very well stocked, and we had several great family meals with locally sourced seafood. We had a wonderful time staying here!

Such an absolutely magical place to stay! My pup and I stayed for a month while I worked and played. Gorgeous views of the Beech Hill Pond and close enough to various towns for hiking, sightseeing and enjoying local food. Spent time on Deer Isle, MDI at Bar Harbour & Acadia, and even made the trek to Lubec. if you want to experience a wee bit of winter and early spring, mid to late March into April was the perfect time. We had a few inches of snow fall within the first few days of the trip. Don't hesitate to book this cottage!

The location is amazing — just down the road from Acadia, on the Schoodic Peninsula, which in my opinion is even more pristine and beautiful than the main part of the park. The cabin itself is incredible — warm, spotless, charming, and very well-stocked. Beautiful views of the water, super relaxing vibes. I especially loved the sunroom and the deck — perfect for unwinding! The host was super friendly, helpful, and incredibly responsive — made everything so easy and welcoming. We hope to be back soon!

This is our second stay at The Moorings. We stay in Lookout Front Cottage both times. The cottage is charming and the view is just gorgeous! We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the screened in porch was the perfect location to watch the fireworks on July 4th! We will definitely be back again.

Cozy little cabin right by the road that goes to Acadia national park, which makes it very convenient for people planning to visit Acadia and Bar Harbor. It had everything we needed: comfy bed, coffee maker, little fridge, functional bathroom, television. Communication with Maria was great, as she was always friendly and responded quickly to questions.

Karen's cottage was perfect for a weekend getaway in Acadia National Park. It was removed from Bar Harbor and the elevated tourism over there. Karen had a book with local food recommendations that was amazing. We ate at 2 restaurants in Tremont that were good enough to compete anywhere in the world (Harbor Table & Clark Pointe Cafe).

This was my second time at Mark's place and I can't wait to go back. The cabin is just perfect and I love everything about the island and the lovely community there. Islesford is the perfect getaway to recharge and reset.

We absolutely LOVED our stay! It was perfect for our family of 5. The cabin is spotless and the location to Bar Harbor and Acadia is perfect! My girls loved the ping pong table and walking to the market across the street for breakfast! It had great muffins and breakfast sandwiches (also a take out menu for other meals). The screened in porch was also fantastic. The beds were very comfortable. The price was affordable considering the wonderful location. I highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautifully maintained cottage. It was impressively well-stocked—even the smallest details were thoughtfully considered, making us feel right at home. The outdoor area was equally lovely, with excellent landscaping and a fantastic fire pit that quickly became a favorite gathering spot. The views were stunning, and we especially enjoyed watching the local wildlife wander through the grassy fields. Everything about the home reflected above-average standards, from its cleanliness to its cozy yet refined design. A truly special place—we hope to return!

We absolutely loved our stay at the A-Frame! The house is located on the Quiet Side of the Island on a private secluded road that was so peaceful. We really enjoyed the property which included a large backyard and looked out over the water, both the sunrises and the sunsets from here were incredible. Erin's home was clean, well decorated and had all the amenities we needed for our stay, we felt right at home the entire week we stayed. Although it was only my husband and I with our two dogs, the home was large enough for a family and had plenty of space to hang out and enjoy. We really loved how close it was to Southwest Harbor where we enjoyed the restaurants and shopping as well as walking around. We were also able to explore Acadia National Park which was under a thirty minute drive from here and very easy to access. We would highly recommend Erin's home to anyone visiting the area!
