Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Cumberland County

We loved this place! We were renting for our daughter’s college graduation, and even though it poured all weekend- we really enjoyed just hanging out at the house. Mostly I loved loved the king size bed and I’m going to ask where the owner got it - slept like a baby!

Kate’s place is in a beautiful location and has so much to do. We loved the wildlife, the easy access to Portland and all the yard games. We can’t wait to come back!

Great spot for a private getaway! Hosts were very friendly, flexible and ensured we had everything we needed. Would absolutely visit again and recommend 100%

Our group was two small families with kids ages 6 and 8. Everyone had a great time. If you’re looking for a home to get out into nature, this is it. The private dock and lake gave us hours of time to play outside. Kayaks, paddle boards, and fishing off the dock was fun and all part of the house. Kids had a blast and so did the adults. Perfect for family summer vacation. We had a few rainy days but either played board games inside or went into Portland which is only 20-30 minutes away. Visited Mackworth Island in Casco Bay. Must do if you want to have a day excursion. The house well kept and easy to navigate. We spent more time outside on the lake than inside.

It was a great location for a quick getaway. Close to Portland and plenty of places to eat in town. I only met Clarishell but she was lovely!

As Mainer living across the country, it is always nice to come. Unfortunately this trip was to attend my Mom's funeral. Pam's home was the right level of closeness to the rest of my family to make visiting easy. The place was the peaceful retreat I needed to visit with myself. Five minutes to most things a person living out of a suitcase could need. Also less then 5 minutes walk puts one at the boat launch for personal watercraft. A great place to sit for a few. The amenities were plentiful at the house and the character was Maine charming. Pam was wonderful and easy to communicate with at all stages. I will be back in the future. Matt

Beautiful lakeside property! Our family loved our weeklong stay complete with paddle boarding, cozy movie nights, and a generous welcome basket that we enjoyed for our s’mores night. Super comfy beds and cozy interior. Kevin was a fantastic host and was super responsive to all of our questions. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with lots to do while you unplug (or choose to stay plugged in) look no further.

From clearly identifying locations of kitchen items to helpful hints throughout the home, just about every T was crossed and every i dotted! It has everything we could have needed for a long or short stay. It didn’t feel like we were intruders or temporary guests… it felt like we were home! The only negative thing I’d have to mention is the bed in the front corner bedroom. It was VERY cushy… too cushy. With two people sleeping there, it caved in the middle so you were nearly on top of them the whole night. Gary and Cynthia were wonderful hosts. Their attention to detail in the historical home they renovated is very well thought out and smartly done! If you’re looking for a quiet place to stay in a town a little off the beaten path, this place is it! Two thumbs up!

Amazing stay! The location was beautiful and peaceful, with easy parking and everything within walking distance. The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Would totally stay again — 10/10

This place lives up to the title Architectural Masterpiece! From the moment you walk into the space and how up the steps to the main level, you are flooded with beautiful light from all sides and multiple views of the city. The apartment was artsy, spacious, yet cozy and welcoming. Just be ready to climb three sets of stairs to enter into the cool space. Alice friendly, and communicated the directions and updates when the room was ready early. Highly recommend!!!

Visited Feb '25 Steep stairs {a delightful New England quirk} lead to a comfortable bed, quaint views out the window. Soft cottage core vibes. Eclectic design steeping in a life well lived. Wonderful kitchen, well stocked and easy to cook in. Shower pressure is adequate. Bathroom is clean and filled with an array of books and tchotchkes. Your eyes always have something to wander and examine. It's a maximalists dream. The book shelf in the living room is filled with old books some titles are expected due to surroundings and some are just plain fun. May I recommend a game of I spy Nina is quite fantastic. A spit fire. An attentive host. Hospitable and kind. She gave it a welcoming vibe. Meeting her animals was truthfully a highlight. They are even tempered and kind. Her horse is stunning & social. The donkey a goof. The mule is oh so friendly. Sheep a bit shy but non the less beautiful. Chickens? fluffy feet! The ducks were personable. The goats, joyful. Cat, adorable. Good workin dogs.

The place was clean, quiet and comfortable. It is close to downtown and to the university. The owners were very responsive. I look forward to coming back here in the future

Pat’s home was so clean and lovely, the surrounding area is so beautiful. Really great location.

Great little place. We parked our car and trailer right in front of the house, had takeout and a few groceries delivered (I think we used DoorDash or GrubHub), and got rested up for the next leg of our trip. Hyeri was super kind and responsive.

Arian’s house is so lovely. It’s cozy, modern and very clean. The house is in an excellent location close to restaurants and walking paths. Arian was responsive and helpful. We highly recommend his place if you’re looking for somewhere to stay in Portland

A lovely place to stay in Portland’s East End. Great location in a very quiet and walkable neighborhood. (I happily did not need a car during my visit.) The apartment is great, with a comfy bed, smart TV and a nice little patio too. And you’re just steps from the Eastern Promenade park, which is one of Portland’s best amenities imo and leads to a beach, waterfront trail, dock w/ kayak rentals, etc. Jennifer was a very kind host; thank you!

My friends and I had a great stay here! The location was perfect and the apartment was beautiful. Deb was a very responsive and helpful host. Downtown Portland can get a bit loud in the evenings, but the Airbnb was lovely.

I would recommend it 100%

Very nice stay! The location is perfect, everything you need is on site. Recommended!

We only had a very short overnight stay on our way through Portland but this would have been the perfect spot for a longer weekend as well! Loved the location and size for five friends.

Awesome place. Would book in a heartbeat again! Alyssa rocks too! Loved everything about this stay.

The Baxter Suite was perfect for our weekend stay with 4 people. Thomas was a great host- very responsive and accommodating. The apartment is beautiful and very clean. The bathroom is gorgeous and beds were so comfy. One note is that the only mirror is in the bathroom and there is no full length mirror (not a huge issue but a small struggle with 4 women trying to get ready at the same time lol). The free parking spot was very nice to have but there was also plenty of street parking available. Overall Thomas’s place had everything we needed and we would stay here again!

This was a beautifully decorated space. The location near the beach was perfect! Cute little spot.

We stayed at a few of Spencer's places while our child was at Bowdoin college. The places are lovely and convenient and made visiting our child a pleasure.
