Cottage vacation rentals in Penobscot River

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

Our stay at the Great Pond Airbnb was incredible! The house was beautiful, cozy, and fully stocked with all the amenities we needed. We especially loved the paddle boat—it was magical to take it out on the lake early in the morning and watch the sunrise. Truly a dream! Finding the place initially was a bit tricky (we missed some details in the instructions), and cell service in the area is spotty, so definitely screenshot directions beforehand. Once settled, though, it was perfect. Being just over an hour from Acadia National Park was a huge bonus! We had a blast hiking, especially on Precipice Trail (challenging but amazing!) and Beehive Trail for a slightly easier, but still fun option. This spot offered the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a peaceful, nature-filled getaway!

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!

The bungalow is cozy and comfortable. We throughly enjoyed the walk through the woods and sauna. Mayya goes above and beyond as a host! She is extremely kind and attentive. Highly recommend!

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’ve stayed in a lot of Airbnbs across the country and I’m not exaggerating when I say that Lydia’s place was one of the cleanest and most well-maintained homes that we’ve been in. The property and scenery are breathtaking. The numbers of birds and chipmunks that entertained us while we sat on the back deck was surprising. We ate all of our meals with the exception of lunches at the cabin and had everything we needed to prep and cook our food. This trip was all about relaxing and Lydia’s home was everything we needed.

I spent a week at this beautiful little cabin with my two grandchildren. It was the perfect size and looks just as beautiful as the pictures inside and out. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and the beds were very comfortable. The lake can be seen from the cabin and we enjoyed the dock for fishing and watching the ducks. It’s very close to town for groceries etc but very quiet and peaceful on a dead end street. Jason was very welcoming and always available for questions and quick to respond. The only thing that would have made it better for my grandkids is if there was easier access for getting into the lake with a a little beach area or a lawn that went down to the water. But if you want a quiet get away in beautiful surroundings don’t hesitate.

Eric is a super friendly host and he knows the local recommendations. His cabin is easy to check-in, clean and very peaceful. One sidenote is this listing doesn't provide wifi, making it ideal for people looking for an unplugged getaway. We truly enjoyed our time on the beautiful Maine coast!

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!

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.

Galen and Cindy were wonderful hosts! The cottage was incredibly comfortable and made my husband, daughter, and me feel right at home. The location is perfect—just about 30 minutes from Acadia National Park and close to great restaurants and shops. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back! 😊

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

Stephen's place is a gorgeous getaway for a fam. it's literally ON the ocean - with multiple jaw dropping views. Best part was the view from Dining room! clear and crisp communication and great stay. would recommend 10/10.

Super comfortable. Good kitchen for cooking, nice outdoor area. Good recycling and composting, super nice neighbors. Felt right at home.

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!

Moon Bay Cottage is a cute comfortable Maine Style Cottage with a Maine Themed Beach decor. The view of the shoreline is great, and the complex the cottage is in, is very quite and peaceful. The 4 of us, all adults, were very comfortable in the living room. Kitchen is well equipped, which is good since the bulk of the area restaurants are a bit of a distance away. The closest restaurant is a 1/2 mile south (Noodle & Rice) was pretty good, and we went a couple of times.

You can stop searching for a place to stay because this is THE ONE. As a frequent traveler used to very nice accommodations, I have high expectations and it's rare that a place exceeds them, but Bay Meadow Cottages did just that. The cottages are extremely clean and obviously well-cared-for. The host communication was above and beyond. The pie and the coffee were really good. It was quiet and peaceful (tiny bit of road noise but not distracting). I would absolutely stay again and recommend highly to my friends and family. Also... the sheets were amazing. I slept so well. Definitely enjoyed the paddleboards and the Adirondack chairs for some down time in between hikes. It was the perfect getaway.

A little slice of heaven! The Nest was everything we hoped for and more. The sunsets over the crystal-clear lake were stunning, but what really struck us was how long the colors linger in the sky up here, creating the most peaceful and relaxing mood to close out each day. The cabin itself was cozy, thoughtfully designed, and the perfect size for our getaway. We left feeling refreshed and grateful, already looking forward to a return visit.

Can’t say enough about Craig’s beautiful lakeside cottage. If you like remote, peaceful and being close to nature this is for you. The house and contents seemed brand new and they had thought of everything we could want, right down to pancake mix, maple syrup and Maine blueberries for our breakfasts. An easy drive to Acadia. Craig was communicative, friendly and helpful. We had a fantastic stay and hope we’ll be back.

We had a great stay at this property. The views were beautiful and the location was quiet and private. Our host was very helpful and friendly, providing us with useful local recommendations & directions. The house was comfortable and cozy - perfect for 3-4 people. We enjoyed our time here and would have loved to stay longer. We recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat.

Maureen and Rob offer such a beautiful, cozy cottage! We were traveling for Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, and while this cottage was a drive from there, it was exactly what we wanted- private, quiet, beautiful views, and the drive to Bar Harbor was great and beautiful too! Maureen greeted us at our arrival, even though it was later, and provided us with a paper map of the surrounding areas and the best recommendations and routes to travel. We felt like we were with family and knew if we needed anything we had it! We enjoyed the firepit in the back and even seeing a sliver of the Milky Way from the dock at night! Right before we left, Maureen thanked us for our stay with some homemade banana bread. It truly doesn’t get better than that! We can’t wait to return!

This was our second stay at Brian's place, and it was just as beautiful and peaceful as we remembered. The serene atmosphere and stunning views made it the perfect getaway. Brian was a fantastic host, and we truly felt at home. We will definitely be back!

The cottage was so cozy and peaceful. We loved relaxing and enjoying the view. We arrived in the dark and Kelly was very responsive when we had troubles because of that. Would definitely stay again!
