Vacation rentals with lake access in Hope

Great location. Woke up to the sounds of birds. very responsive. I would have given it a 5 star all the way, David was amazing and responded in a very timely manner. But, the turn over service could have been much better. The previous guest left a wine bottle in the automatic fridge ice dispenser and it was unfounded until my family found a large peice of glass in their drink, serious hazard to drink glass. Should have been spotted by the turn over service but, who would check the ice maker for a bottle a wine? I understand that. Very uncommon and unfortunate for us. David responded in a very fast manner and gave us options to accommodate the situation. I would have left a 5 star if this was the only thing but everything was so unorganized in the kitchen, they had everything but nothing made sense to why it was there. Sink didn't drain. There were also stains on the sheets and a pizza box left by the fridge that wasn't ours. Little things but the turn over service was a let down.

We came here for a private getaway on our honeymoon and it did not disappoint. The price was a bit much, but for such a special time I felt it was worth it at the time I booked, and worth it it certainly was. beautiful, quiet, serene, it was perfect for a getaway. I would absolutely recommend, and I already have, this stay. 10/10

Corie was so responsive with answers to questions about wifi and check-in to fun day trips we should try while we are there. The view of the lake is the best and the swimming was wonderful. Plus loved the paddle boat. Very relaxing!!

We had an amazing time. TJ was very responsive and gave his secrets for fishing! He also accommodated a request that was an overlook on my part. I can’t say enough good things about the place itself or how nice TJ was. It was a phenomenal experience all around!

We loved our stay (late May, 2025). The weather did not cooperate but the house was perfect. Thank you Debbi!

My wife and I completely enjoyed our stay at Ani’s place. She literally thought of everything any guest could ever want. Beautiful surroundings…walking distance to the Fish Ladder….a couple of miles to all the restaurants downtown. And the place itself is immaculate. The kitchen was perfect for eating in every night. This place is an absolute no-brainer to rent and we can’t wait to return!!!

fantastic stay. clean and well equipped. the lake is even more beautiful than the pictures! Roman was very responsive and went above and beyond in providing helpful information about the area and place.

Cami’s place was perfect! It was very clean, & had everything we needed to cook, sleep, and have fun! & can’t forget the beautiful views with clean outdoor seating. We would definitely stay here again!

Great stay. Would stay again.

Robert’s place was the perfect getaway for me calm, quiet, and peaceful. Everything was perfect, the space was cozy and neat, it had everything I needed for a few days away. Quick drive to the harbor with lots to do if one chooses. Hoping to make it back there soon.

Great spot at the center of Wilton. Comfortable bed. Close to restaurants. Responsive and courteous host.

We always love our stay here and will always be our first choice in the area!

This is a great place to stay, even better than it appears in the photos. It was not just clean, it was immaculate - and for an extremely observant nurse - that was awesome. The unit had easy access with a slight gradient path and only two steps - which was very helpful for us as seniors. The firm bed was very comfortable. Barbara was responsive and thought of everything, including having delicious specialty coffee for us - Thanks. She even had a cooler in the closet for us to use when we went to Acadia National Park. Like I said, she truly thought of everything. If we return to this area of Maine, we would love to stay again. We enjoyed our stay.

Our stay at Tim & Joanne’s was great! We’d highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in this area. The hosts are very friendly, accommodating, and responsive. Anytime we had a question they were quick to help. The place itself is very cozy and we felt very comfy. The only thing we wish is it were a bit closer to Mt. Abram, which is where we were skiing, but that only applies to our situation. Overall it was a great place to stay with great hosts!

Jean’s place was amazing, and she was the perfect host! The apartment was perfect for us! The king size bed was so comfortable, and everything was just as described. The location on the lake was so peaceful and relaxing. Jean and Bob very generous and let us use their whole property including wonderful swings to rest on and lake kayaks and a paddle boat! We were scouting out places to buy near Winthrop, and Jean had some great advice and was super helpful! We will be back!

We have enjoyed the stay at Patricia’s place. It’s well designed and decorated. It’s cozy and yet fully functional. Patti is super nice and we had a wonderful conversation about Damariscotta. We would strongly recommend Patricia’s place anyone who should have chance to visit Damariscotta.

Kurt and Jackiee were wonderful and responsive hosts. Their property was completely clean spotless as there were no complaints in that end. The road noise is a little bit bothersome for the work week mornings or trying to enjoy a quiet morning, but it doesn’t completely ruin the vibes offered by the lakefront view. Oven is small and a bit finicky (we had to ask for help) and so if you were tying to bake something that’s uses a pan bigger than the average sized cookie sheet, you’re out of luck. They supplied basic condiments and plenty of linens to last our 4 night stay. Super safe location and a perfect way to wake up in the morning. Would come here again or recommend to a couple looking for an awesome cottage near Acadia. If you’re picky about pillows, definitely BYO as they are on the softer side for the bed.

We enjoyed our stay, it was a wonderful place and have all amenities. The surrounding area is beautiful and so many things to do in the area.

Absolutely a wonderful visit, Deb was so sweet and communicated so well with us throughout our stay! The home is so lovely and the most perfect place for a getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at these lovely cottages. It was private, peaceful, and close to shopping, dining, and attractions. We highly recommend staying here, for anyone looking for peace and tranquility. Hope to one day come back to Maine, and if we do, we look forward to staying here again!

This was by far the best AirBNB experience we’ve ever had. The house was spotless and had everything we needed and more. It was comfortable, private and clean. The views of the lake are unmatched. Robert was the perfect host: welcoming, friendly and quick to respond. We can’t wait to stay here again in the future.

Two things stood out to us: Tim and Melissa were fantastic hosts. Responsive, flexible, and went out of their way to make us feel at home. If anything, they kind of undersell the lakeshore. Beautiful, peaceful, and a large area. We were here too early in the season to take full advantage, but this must be heaven in the summer. Hope to come back during kayaking season.

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.

We had an amazing stay at Jason’s place despite a (mostly) rainy Memorial Day weekend! We still found plenty to do including inside the Airbnb, outside at the pond, and locally at all of the great restaurants/breweries/nature around. We also made it out to Acadia two of our days. I will say, the trip took longer than advertised (about an hour to get to the edge of the park), but was a pleasant enough ride. We also had our two dogs staying with us and we all felt right at home! Jason was a very responsive and helpful host as well - you can’t go wrong with this peaceful retreat on the pond!
