Cottage vacation rentals in Stonington

The most beautiful place, exceeding all expectations. The views are spectacular. We breathed in peace and tranquility. A fabulous place to celebrate my 80th birthday with the whole family -- 16 of us. Everyone was comfortable in the space. In addition to being the perfect host, Samantha provided surprise extras which was such fun! Just a few of the highlights: S'mores at the firepit, lobster dinners, seals, bald eagles and fireworks. She made our stay truly memorable. My family gives the place the highest recommendation.

This house has a beautiful view of the lake!! The complementary water activity’s are worth booking!! We enjoyed our stay and will come back!! Make sure to walk out on the dock at night and look at the stars!!

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!

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

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!

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

Our stay at Jeff’s cottage was one of the most relaxing since we began our yearly mother-daughter long weekend getaway tradition about 8 years ago. The cottage is rustic, yet cute, comfortable, and clean and the setting is simply beautiful. Some highlights were foggy harbor explorations by kayak, sunset happy hours at the harbor shore, and napping to the sound of the rain on the metal roof. The minimal steps and level front yard made it possible for our mother to enjoy the setting and access the harbor with us. We especially appreciated a freezer full of ice upon our arrival :) We hope to return next June. Highly recommend!

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 loved staying at Ann's place! It was exactly what we wanted, close to town and to lots of activities but also felt remote and in a really gorgeous location. Great, rustic spot.

Beautiful quite location with rustic craftsmanship like no other. Close to Acadia and Gulf of Maine, scenic farm and whimsy charm. Amazing place!

Our trip to Stonington to stay with Maggi has become an annual event. We enjoy settling into a place that has become a second home. Whether it is relaxing at the cottage, walking into town, traveling to a local preserve or taking the mailboat out to Isle au Haut, it is a wonderful experience. Local restaurants offer many options for dining but Stonington Seafood, a great source for local fish, and Maggi's well stocked kitchen and outdoor grill can make dinner prep a snap right at the cottage. We are already looking forward to our next trip.

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!

This place was magical, and Basha is a fantastic and informative host. It’s perfect for a getaway! But also had strong wifi :)

Wow! I mean, my wife and I didn't want to leave. We met Robin at check-in and she was just a delight! We talked to her and her husband Bob a few other times and they're such fantastic people. They gave us some amazing recommendations for hikes and restaurants and we left wanting more (which says a lot!). We usually leave AirBnBs wanting to go home but this place and the people who own it are special and an absolute treat! The Little Cabin was outstanding and provided everything we needed. The GORGEOUS bay view took a good chunk of our time. The Northern Lights were very strong our last night and we were fortunate enough to see a Seal and Porpoise! Next time we come this way, we won't hesitate to apply to stay here again. Seriously a great stay! Thank you for offering these cabins to stay in!

My family and I had an awesome time at the cottage on Swan’s Island. Kyle’s instructions were super detailed and helpful, and he was extremely responsive. The cottage is sweet and simple, and the natural surroundings are just unparalleled. We spent a lot of time on the beach. Turns out our three yr old LOVES ROCKS 😝 The island overall is really charming. We also had an excellent time hiking through the mossy forest and running around on the fine sand beach. We even got in the water despite the cold. Bought some lobsters from the fisherman’s co-op and they were delicious. One tip is that you might need more firewood than you think if it’s late spring! We should’ve brought maybe one or two more bundles, but now we know…we’re almost certainly coming back!

Words cannot express how much my husband and I enjoyed Chelsea's cottage. It was everything and more in what we were hoping for. Chelsea and her husband went out of their way to help provide us with a truly authentic experience as we wrapped up our 2 week road trip through Maine. We highly recommend without hesitation the area, the cottage and gracious hospitality we received.

Ann's place was a great stay, especially because my wife and I are more into hiking than walking around Bar Harbor. Not that doing the latter was at all difficult. Bar Harbor is a focal point for those into restaurants and shopping, and it isn't a difficult drive from the cottage (maybe 15 min or so). Ann's place is centrally located in Mt. Desert near several trailheads. The Parkman Mountain trailhead and access point for the carriage road is only about a mile down the road. The start of a scenic drive along Some Sound that leads to Northeast Harbor is even closer. The central location of the cottage also makes it easy to get to the "Quiet Side" of Mt. Desert. Our 7-night stay wasn't enough to see everything we wanted, so we may come back someday. If we do, we would love to stay here again.

The place is, as advertised, the cutest. It's equipped as well, having every tool or utensil you might need to enjoy your seafood. This was our first trip Downeast and we found it to be as charming and naturally beautiful as we hoped it would be. The cherry on top was our hosts. Bonnie and Chubba are especially friendly and are true stewards of this grand corner of America.
