Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Blue Hill

I had the pleasure of staying in Anthony's place for a week in June and everything was perfect. The post and beam structure is beautiful, lofty, and well lit. The pictures really don't do it justice. All the utilities worked well and it had every amenity, including a whirlpool tub, dish washer, and laundry. The dog park was a bonus for our pup! We plan on coming again next year and recommend it anyone looking for a private comfortable space for two.

My friend & I stayed 3 days. We planned to do some exploring & hiking & antiquing so it was right up our alley. The location is so quiet, peaceful & picturesque. It’s homey & tastefully decorated! And I loved the extra little touches, for example the bathroom toilet paper flower! So cute!! You can tell she takes pride in her home and in her guests comfort and that it is her passion! Also Bob’s place is bigger than it looks in the pictures. Susan is very thoughtful and easy to communicate with. She gave me some dining recommendations and also asked if we were able to see the northern lights. Who does that?! Susan does!! Thanks for an awesome stay!! Will be back for sure!!

We loved this spot so much that we ended up taking advantage of an opportunity to stay an extra night! The house is over 200 years old and therefore a bit creaky, as well as on a main road, so if you really need absolute silence to sleep, Parker House might not be the perfect spot, but we do live in a remote area and we were able to sleep, besides just enjoying the well furnished space. Hope we get to return!

Gorgeous ocean views right on the water! Every room has gorgeous photography on the walls, the house was extremely clean, everything clearly laid out in the house manual. Sunrises and moonrises over the ocean were stunning and unbelievable. Amazing location, super close to Tidal Falls. Drive to Acadia was easy and it is a great spot in between the Schoodic peninsula part of Acadia and the Bar Harbor part.

I enjoy visiting Blue Hill. Mary is instantly responsive. She has wonderful neighbors and family nearby. The house is pristine. All the cooking and baking supplies ever needed. Wonderful place, bookstore right out the door. Would or could not ask for a better place in Maine, slightly off the beaten path.

The Barn Owl is a truly lovely and comfortable renovated carriage house with rustic charm and contemporary amenities—an architectural delight. The home’s quiet and secluded wooded setting is just minutes away from numerous restaurants, shops and art galleries that Blue Hill is known for. Our one week stay was perfect in every way and Dennis and Kay were definitely the Superhosts that made it happen! Sheila and Art Houston, Texas

Great place, very peaceful and cozy! Little bit off the grid but if you‘re looking for a relaxing stay within beautiful surroundings, then that‘s the deal. Thanks for hosting!

We had a wonderful time in this private, serene, and exceptionally beautiful place. Darlene was an exceptional hostess -- proactive, thoughtful, helpful. The entire property was immaculate and well maintained. The location is spectacular. We were very happy and comfortable for the month that we spent here.

The apartment was fantastic! It had everything we needed, and no clutter! Beautiful furnishings, modern, simple and comfortable. Surprised by the unexpected gorgeous view of the Narrows bridge at night - what a great seating alcove to enjoy it! Easily walkable to the waterfront and restaurants. We have come to depend on Warren's on the Waterfront and Bucksport House of Pizza over the past few years of visiting - this trip did not disappoint, the pizza and sandwiches are still top notch! We were here this time for our son's graduation from MMA, and although we rented a larger home for the younger guests and West Coast visitors, we chose this one for us, as a place to get away from the chaos of the larger home. It was simply perfect. Kudos to your housekeeping, the apartment was spotless and so welcoming - especially after a 13 hour drive from Maryland. Even though our son has graduated, we will be back. We just love the area. Thank You!!!

Pam's place was wonderful spot for our trips back and forth to Acadia. Away from the crowds of Bar Harbor and only a short drive. The place is cute, quaint and well stocked. Very pleasant stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at April’s private river retreat house. The apartment was very clean with lots of amenities. The travel toiletries were a nice surprise. We were about a 30 minute drive from Bar Harbor but it took close to an hour to get to some trailheads in Acadia NP. The weather got hot during our stay and April had her husband come to put the window AC in for us which was appreciated. Our only complaint was slow response time from the host during our stay and difficulty finding the driveway upon initial arrival. Google maps said the house was 3 doors closer on the road than it actually was. We would love to come back in the future!

Terrific space and what a beautiful setting. A destination stay for sure!

Incredible, we really enjoyed staying at the sunrise deck, so incredibly home feeling and sweet for me and my wife’s honeymoon. We loved the extra care Lise took to bring gluten free snacks for my wife it was so sweet and thoughtful. We strongly recommend coming to stay here for Acadia or even the surrounding towns as well! Thank you Lise!

Felt like a luxury hotel for half the price! The owner did a phenomenal job with renovation and restoration with lots of little nice touches, like a bag of coffee from the cafe downstairs.

Mandy’s place was a perfect home for our family of 4 - right down to the little essentials (such as a first aid kit and stain spray for clothing)! Her apartment was spotless and the kitchen had everything needed for our several day stay. The small town of Ellsworth was a quick walk and approx 45 min drive into Acadia. We also really enjoyed all the bird sightings near the river (including a peregrine falcon). We would definitely book again if visiting the area.

Great location! Super cute!

Love this Condo. Superb location in Blue Hill Village, easily walkable to everything downtown. Modern and updated making it very comfortable. Well equipped with cleaning/cooking supplies so you can "live normally". The hosts are super responsive and helpful as well. Highly recommended.

The Owl’s Nest is a great place to stay and explore the coast in Maine. We stayed for a whole week and had a blast each day. Acadia is about an hour and half drive away and there are a bunch of trails to do much closer by as well. JoDee and her family are gracious hosts and were extremely helpful and attentive to all we needed during our stay. I even used this place as a jumping off point to go to Baxter State Park one morning. The bnb itself is exactly as described, and served all our (two people) purposes exceptionally well. Would definitely recommend staying here to other folks and wouldn’t mind returning again.

Pretty solid place, was on a discount but was clean, relatively near acadia, but only qualm was that it was a little hard to find. Not reallly host’s fault, we got confused. Overall solid place

We truly enjoyed our stay at Brian’s place. The location is unbeatable: 10 minutes to drive to Acadia, and 10 minutes to walk to the waterfront in downtown Bar Harbor. We traveled with our two children, ages 3 and 1.5, and had plenty of room. We did our best to keep quiet for our downstairs neighbors, but just know that sound does carry a bit, even from the downstairs unit. Having a full kitchen and washer and dryer was a huge plus! Cannot say enough good things about Brian’s place, and hope to be back.

We rented both the Toddy House and Rocky House for a week for our family of 12. The houses were as described and in pristine condition. We loved the fact that they were close together, so the late night group could stay up socializing, while the children could be put to bed without distraction. The Toddy House had a pool table which provided lots of late night entertainment. It also had a large open common area to accommodate our group, and we spent a lot of time on the screened porches. We really liked the access to the water with the dock, the canoes and kayaks, and the super cool fire ring. We are the type of family that asks a lot of questions, and Mark was quick to answer and take care of any questions or issues we had. We spent a great deal of time at Acadia, and while the drive was about 45 minutes to get there, it was not a problem at all. We would definitely return to 3Havens if we decided to take another vacation in this area. Mark and Laurie were excellent hosts.

Stayed for 4 nights with 4 adults. Tim's place was bigger than expected; it never felt like tight quarters. The rooms were spic and span, kitchen had everything you'd need to cook a meal. Location was great: having been here before I prefer this side of MDI anyways. Plenty of parking and easy access to Island Explorer as well. Great host: will definitely recommend!

Lovely stay in a cozy place during a harrowing move. Cozy place provided just what we needed.

Lovely, clean apartment with a terrific location! We highly recommend and hope to return soon--maybe even for Pumpkinfest again next year. Thank you especially for the extra blankets, that was such a kind gesture.
