Vacation rentals with lake access in Mount Desert Island

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!

Took a family trip to Acadia and this was a great place to stay. The house was very comfortable and enjoyed the on-site hiking trails and sitting down at the lake and having a wine. Appreciate the quick response from the owner when I had a question. Great getaway!!! Thank you for a memorable stay!

Logan’s home was just as described but better. It felt homey, comfortable sofa, large dining table, well stocked kitchen and the most comfy beds along with plush towels and great sheets. All you need is your belongings. Park your car and walk to everything. The home is on a quiet street but Great restaurants are just a short stroll away along Main Street and let’s not forget there’s Acadia National Park just around the corner. Great visit and will definitely return. Logan made our visit comfortable along with recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Thank you Logan!!

This house is remarkably beautiful and welcoming. The walls of windows welcome sunshine throughout and the private views of the water are unmatched. Artistic details abound in the interior - like Anthro and West Elm had a baby. We vacationed with our toddler and my in-laws and we all had ample space to gather, as well as disperse. Highly recommend! Local recs: The Activity Shop for kayak rental delivery, pizza from Blaze, coffee from Bucklyn, brunch at Humblebee Cafe, sundries from Blue Hill Co-op, blueberry pie from Mount Desserts (on way to Acadia).

We had a wonderful time in Dedham and the Narrows Lake House was a great home base. The lake is absolutely beautiful, and the house is relatively close to Ellsworth and Bangor, as well as Acadia. Really nice place to wake up every morning (with the added plus of a very friendly dog named Miss Aspen who will definitely say hi!). The house is pretty far back on a long and narrow gravel road, so it's not particularly walkable and you'll want to have a car that's at least a little bit suited for it. Our rented minivan was just fine but an older vehicle or one with dim headlights might make it a little tricky. The floors are also quite thin and sound travels downward, so if you have kids or louder members of your group, you'll want to have them stay in the basement if possible. Finally, Colleen was a kind and attentive host! She reached out before the stay, which was very appreciated, and is delightful to talk to. You'll be very well taken care of if anything does happen.

Tim’s place was absolutely perfect for our multi-generational family vacation. Everyone had all they needed and were super happy with their accommodations and the amenities at his beautiful lake house. He was very responsive and helpful. It truly felt like we were staying at a friend’s place as we had access to just about the entire house and garage, both of which were stocked with everything imaginable for a peaceful and relaxing stay on a gorgeous lake. When and if we plan another trip to Ellsworth, Tim will be my first call!

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!

Michael was a great host! Awesome cabin, very clean and with amazing views. We were able to check in and check out with zero issues. The kayaks were a really great touch! The lake is beautiful and backyard is spacious. We used the grill one night and had a fire in the fire pit another. This was a really great week and we appreciate Michael for all his help and accommodations!

We had a very wonderful stay in Camden!! The apartment was spacious and had everything you needed. Very kind hosts and lovely area🩷💛🧡

Had a great weekend staying at Naomi’s Airbnb while visiting Acadia! The apartment has a very modern finish to it and has all the amenities you might need while spending a cozy weekend in nature. The drive to Acadia is close to an hour but the location of the property is quite peaceful and right next to a lake.

The place was very beautiful. Its a perfect location for stay if you are planning to visit Acadia National Park. The place itself was very clean and well maintained. Kathleen was very helpful and responded quickly to our questions. They also have access to the shore at a 2 min walk which is a good spot to hangout during sunrise and sunset.

Her place was brand new. Very tastefully decorated and furnished. Great water pressure. Perfect location. We really appreciated that they are dog friendly and enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay here again!!

This is a great place to stay, even better than it appears in the photos. It was not just clean, it was immaculate - and for an extremely observant nurse - that was awesome. The unit had easy access with a slight gradient path and only two steps - which was very helpful for us as seniors. The firm bed was very comfortable. Barbara was responsive and thought of everything, including having delicious specialty coffee for us - Thanks. She even had a cooler in the closet for us to use when we went to Acadia National Park. Like I said, she truly thought of everything. If we return to this area of Maine, we would love to stay again. We enjoyed our stay.

We had a peaceful stay and would like to come back one day. - Everything exactly as shown in the pics - Superbly clean - THE BEST hosts We are very grateful!

We loved our week long stay! The cabin is awesome and location is perfect. We spent time at Bar Harbor and Acadia. The lake is beautiful and so peaceful. John and Maria were great.

Had a great time. The house was clean and orderly. We had easy access to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, they were only 30-40 minutes away. We also enjoyed the very short walk to the water front to enjoy the views and the cool breeze off the water we even saw a lobster boat one evening! Definitely would recommend and stay here again!

The place was better than described .. I was very worried after I booked I noticed that pets were allowed and I was mortified .. I don’t stay anywhere pets are allowed I couldn’t believe when I arrived how clean and tidy it was .. she had coffee pods wood for fire paper products location was perfect view was magnificent it was a perfect place.

My family loved this house. The setting was beautiful, and it had tons to keep my kids entertained (kayaks, fishing poles, indoor and outdoor games). There was also ample coffee (always a plus!) and staples for cooking. We spent a lot of time at Acadia, but rearranged some afternoons to spend more time at the house because my kids enjoyed it so much. Highly recommend!

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!

The cabin was breathtaking, with a history painted and photographed among her walls. Perfect amount of space to accommodate a family should you have one. The morning sunrise was spiritual, and humbling. Host was incredibly friendly and accommodating for our dog. Arjuna. Will absolutely be returning. Thank you for an amazing and beautiful experience.

We enjoyed our stay, it was a wonderful place and have all amenities. The surrounding area is beautiful and so many things to do in the area.

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!

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!
