The Getaway- A Cozy Lakeside Cabin
After getting things clean we enjoyed 28 days was not good weather went back to take care of our mothers things was good to have this place to come relax in would rent again even tho it wasn’t cleaned they tried to make things right loved the cabin

Bungalhigh with Swimming Cove
This was such a delightful, peaceful & beautiful place to stay. Shelby was extremely responsive & helpful. I appreciated that she went the extra mile to alert me to the Aurora Borealis & encourage me to see it from the point. When the power went out b/c of a local car accident, she kept me updated with information about cause & when power was expected to return & provided flashlights & a special battery powered lightbulb to provide light. I couldn't have asked for more!

Stylish ocean-view home on Acadia's Schoodic Loop
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!

Peaceful Branch Lake Cabin minutes to Acadia
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.

Long Cove Hideaway
This is a lovely place, so private and tranquil. Allen provides everything you need right in the camper. It is just a short drive to Acadia and plenty of restaurants on Route 1 to chose from!

Acadia area cove with canoes! Sun-Sun weekly!
Christy’s cottage was absolutely amazing. From the outdoors to the interior she thought of everything and the property was very dog friendly. Loved the quiet neighborhood and proximity to surrounding areas. Was very easy to get to Bar Harbor. We had an amazing time and hope to visit again and enjoy all the cottage and area has to offer. Highly recommend!!

Knotty Pine lake home
Mark was a great host! He offered to let us check in early, as our flight came in before check in time. The house was quiet and peaceful, perfect vacation house! Our kids loved the easy access to the lake, and the house provided numerous outdoor knick knacks for them to play with. We also enjoyed the relaxing mornings on the hammock. The house is close enough to all necessity’s, but still away enough to not feel crowded with people. We would recommend the place to anyone, and will be returning in the future! Thank you for a great week at the lake!

Sunny Waterfront Home Overlooking Blueberry Field
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).

Harborside Comfortable Cottage! [Mermaid Cottage]
We had the most wonderful stay at this charming Airbnb in Bass Harbor! The location is absolutely perfect — right on the water, offering stunning views and a peaceful, quiet atmosphere. After a full day of exploring and sightseeing, it was such a joy to come back to this cozy and homey spot to unwind and relax. The home itself has such a warm, inviting feel. It’s thoughtfully decorated, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It’s also in a prime spot — just a short drive to the iconic Bass Harbor Head Light and several beautiful coastal hiking trails. Plus, just a short drive to Acadia National Park, making it easy to explore the best of the area. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with close access to both nature and some of the region’s most popular attractions. Can't wait to return!

Charming Maine Cottage Overlooking Penobscot Bay
I wish I could give more than 5 stars! As soon as we walked in we felt right at home. Lyndsey even had special local pastries waiting for us, all the lights were on and it was well stocked. The cottage was cozy, clean and comfortable. The views and surroundings were beautiful and peaceful. Lyndsey was so helpful in guiding us to find the best activities to do. I can't say enough about our stay and how perfect it was! Thank you for making our time so special!

Lakeside Yurt -Sebec Lake
A great “glamping” spot! The location is amazing and being able to rent kayaks was perfect! A very fun stay for a lake adventure!

Coastal Loft with Beach Access
Andrew was an excellent host. The accommodation was beautiful, in a great location, and very easy to navigate. Perfect way to explore the wonderful town of Belfast (which has sneaky good restaurants), and broader Maine area.

A Maine Lakefront Experience
A wonderfully charming spot to stay while exploring Acadia national Park and the surrounding areas. Rita was a delight, with fantastic instructions on how to find the place, recommendations for current happenings around town, and she was very responsive for any and all questions I may have had. The pictures don’t do this property justice, I highly recommend!

Singing Loon Cabin
What an amazing little place!! Stayed here for our 5 year wedding anniversary while exploring the mountains of Acadia National Park (about an hour drive pending on traffic) The cabin and property were just absolutely perfect for a getaway. While sitting on the porch at night we got to experience a beautiful owl doing its thing while we listened to the loons on the lake. Just amazing!

Fun Lakefront Cabin near Acadia
We had an incredible stay at Brittany’s place, despite a weekend of rain!! :) It was warm and inviting and had all of the accommodations we needed (incl a lot of kitchen supplies). Brittany was also super responsive and easy to book with! The weather wasn’t the best, so we weren’t able to use the outdoor amenities like the deck and outdoor fireplace, but I loved my time in Maine so much, im already mentally planning my trip back! The one thing that I wanted to note about the house is that the hot water in the shower gets more and more cold with more uses, so if you have more people, just make sure to plan for that. Thanks for an incredible time!!

Lakeside Cottage
Nick’s place is a gem! It was a gorgeous location to get our son off the UMaine campus and visit for a few days. The house overlooks peaceful Hermon Pond easily enjoyed from the big windows, the deck or the waterfront. The house was immaculate and had anything you could need. The kitchen had everything required to make a few home cooked meals. Beds were big and very comfortable. Nick was communicative and generous. We hope to be back in warmer weather to take advantage of the kayaks!

Waterfront w/Amazing Views- Central to Acadia
We had a beautiful stay with views of the sound. We saw all kinds of wildlife including hawks, heron, seal, eagles, ducks and more. While the weather wasn’t nice enough for us to enjoy lots of time outside, the windows and view kept us entertained in between hikes in Acadia. Amenities were lovely and the space was everything we needed and more.

Beach Cottage near Acadia! Oceanfront!
Great location and wonderful view of the water. Very quiet and peaceful. Rustic cottage with comfy beds. Very clean and had everything we needed. Had a wonderful week without television.

Belfast Oceanside House - on downtown harbor walk
Alana couldn't have been more responsive to our questions and ideas. She was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The house was wonderful, with amazing views of the water, sunrises and sunsets. All the rooms were clean and tidy. She thought of providing everything that you might want or might have forgotten to pack, from toothbrushes to razors to QTips. There were board games for rainy days, bird books and binoculars. Belfast is a lovely town and this house gives easy access to its treasures. We felt lucky to be able to stay there.

Seaside Cottage, Southwest Harbor & Acadia
this was probably our favorite Airbnb ever! we stayed 4 nights and it was perfect for our family of 5. the house is so fun, has a neat layout, and is super cozy. the weather was great so we had coffee on the porch in the mornings and had dinner on the porch one night as well. the "back yard" was the highlight for the kids. if you like tide pools, make sure you check out the land bridge at low tide! it's close to Bar Harbor without the huge crowds and traffic. the hikes on this side of MDI are amazing too without as many people. don't miss this great place!

Water's Edge at Ocean St - Direct Ocean Access!
Samantha’s home was even better than the pictures! The location was fantastic. The home was super clean and had a wonderful smell when we entered the home. She and her team were very responsive and provided us with recommendations based on a survey they sent as well as a packet of information at the home. Check-in and check-out were very smooth. My family and I enjoyed it very much! We will definitely be back. Thank you again Samantha and team!

SunsetBlaze
An absolutely beautiful lake home on Pushaw Lake. A great time with family and friends in a lovely environment. We felt right at home. Even though the weather was not the best, the home was comfortable and there was a lot to do from ping pong, games, fishing and canoeing. Thank you!

Islesboro Boathouse
we stayed at Mark's place for four nights and loved our stay. The bedroom in the boat house is beautiful- almost panoramic water views. At high tide the water almost comes up to the deck! The house was extremely quiet and conveniently located on the island. Mark was extremely friendly and ensured we had everything we needed. Kitchen is well stocked with all the necessities and towels and linens were top notch.

Eagle's Nest
