Craney "Tree" House near Acadia

Craney House is a comfortable place with character—good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families (with kids). We affectionately call it our "tree house" because of the jungle that used to obscure the house. We love Otter Creek for its quieter access to what Acadia has to offer—close to the Park Loop Rd, carriage and hiking trails, but it's also only about 5 miles away from Bar Harbor and 10 miles to Seal Harbor.

Romantic Forest Cabin - private, near everything

LynnRating, 5 stars8 months ago

This Airbnb was a perfect spot for a couple to explore all of Mount Desert Island . We stayed for 6 nights and experienced Maine’s beautiful fall foliage. It was exactly as described - peaceful and private - away from busy bar harbor - but easy enough 15 min drive to and from and to Park entrance. we enjoyed the fire pit, cozy living area and used the kitchen to cook in after busy days on the trail … would highly recommend. And Traveling Lobster right down the road is amuse for Best Lobster Rolls !

ChaseHouse SpiritRock

JuliaRating, 5 stars7 months ago

Spirit Rock is easily in the top 3 coolest Airbnbs I've ever stayed in. The cabin is only a few minutes away from Acadia, and the property is gorgeous (drinking my morning coffee every day on the wraparound porch overlooking the beautiful back lawn was one of the highlights of my trip.) The house itself was sparkling clean, which in my experience is rare for a cabin. It felt like home from the moment we walked through the front doors.

Cabin in Tremont

The Doll House at Summer Winds

ChristineRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We were delighted to stay at the Doll's House for our Acadia adventures. The cottage was easy to find on the quiet side of the island. The upstairs had ample room to spread out, featuring a comfortable reading chair and a king-size bed. The kitchen was compact but had everything and more that we needed to prepare meals. Having access to a huge washer and dryer was extremely helpful, as were the pamphlets and large maps. The glass doors from the deck and entrance let in a lot of light and let us enjoy our time between hiking and sightseeing. We are counting on returning some day to enjoy the deck, since we couldn't with the rainy weather we had. Thanks Alan!

BigCamp-Rustic Lake Oasis-Lake and Mountain Views

ChelseaRating, 5 stars1 day ago

This is our fourth year staying at Alan’s home, and there is a reason for that. This house is exactly what you want in a peaceful vacation home. The property is beautiful, private, and nestled within nature. Our favorite week of the year is the week we get to spend time at big camp. You are close to Bar Harbor and Acadia (but not TOO close), and it is the perfect place to unwind and relax. We hope to continue coming and spending time at big camp.

Tranquil View Cottage + Cabin

AmyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We’ve been coming to MDI for over 40 years, and have stayed in some very nice homes and inns. This may now be the top of our list. Peter was an exceptional host, responding within minutes to any questions we had. The house looks deceptively small from the outside, but it is very nicely laid out and surprisingly spacious throughout. Living room and master bedroom very spacious, with lots of closet and drawer space. The king-size bed is very, very comfortable. In fact everything seems designed for the comfort and ease of guests. Record player with Bluetooth speakers to input your own music work well. TV the same. We loved sitting out on the screened porch (with windows closed - this was May!) And I was very pleased and surprised to have yoga mats available to use. Peter thinks of everything! Our son joined us the 4 nights we stayed. It was the perfect setup for him with the separate cabin behind the house. He had everything he needed. We would love to come back again!
