Lakeview Cottage
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!!

11 Cute 1Br Acadia Cottage Open Hearth Inn
Awesome place! Easy to find and awesome location. Shower was hot quickly. Bed was firm (which we love). Would go there again!

Penobscot Bayview Fireplace Hot tub
It’s a lovely cabin, the hot tub is a plus. It’s also fairly private since it’s last cabin of the property.

Canoe House Bungalow and Spa Retreat ,Searsport
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.

Lawn Cottage - Newly Renovated 2024
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.

Nashport on the Penobscot
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.

14 1Br Cottage in Bar Harbor Open Hearth Inn
Perfect stay for visiting Acadia national park. The cottage was super cozy and the shared areas were a huge bonus and super clean! We enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit. The host has thought of everything you could want including little kits to make s’mores. We will definitely stay again and highly recommend!

Open Hearth Inn Cottage 12 - 10 min to Acadia!
A great stay! It is close to the Acadia NP. The place is quiet and clean.

Chic Farmhouse Cottage, WiFi, Private Beach, A/C
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!

Modern cottage with hummingbirds
We liked the privacy and seclusion of the house, as well as, having good wifi and space for our dog. The windows around the house let in so much light and we could see wild turkeys in the field one night. The house is close enough to what Acadia, Ellsworth, and Bar Harbor has to offer, but is away from the congestion. Having a washer/ dryer is a plus. We had a great stay of 5 days.

Cozy Cottage on Frenchman Bay
Great beach access, theres a little island you can go to with the tide

Cozy cottage in the woods
Cute little cabin in the woods!! Super clean, check in was very easy. Nichole was very easy to communicate with. The cabin was perfect for a quick weekend. We would definitely stay again!

Lakefront Stargazing Haven w/Loons, 45 Min Acadia
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!

Camp on private Beach / Bears Den / Graham Lake
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!

Cozy cottage close to Acadia National Park!
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!

Timberframe Cottage on Organic Farm
We enjoyed our time at the cottage! It was an easy 45-60 minutes to any part of Acadia and Mt. Desert Island. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and basic. My three boys and I wandered the farm one evening and fed grass to the beautiful horses. (Watch out for ticks in the long grass! Our fault for walking in it…) We purchased a dozen eggs from the farm store and enjoyed them both mornings for breakfast. You NEED to go watch the sunset at Schoodic Point! Only about a 20 minute drive down the peninsula.

Harborside Comfortable Cottage! [Mermaid Cottage]
Beautiful and relaxing cottage! My friends and I had a wonderful time at mermaid cottage. Everything about the house is perfect from the location to the thoughful decor. I will definitely be re-booking this in the future!

Stylish ocean-view home on Acadia's Schoodic Loop
Great place. Exactly as described. Julie and Rich went above and beyond with recommendations and itineraries. Would stay there again!

Little Cottage at Sunset Cottages
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!

Isleview Cottage 4 - 10 minutes to Acadia!
Cozy little cabin right by the road that goes to Acadia national park, which makes it very convenient for people planning to visit Acadia and Bar Harbor. It had everything we needed: comfy bed, coffee maker, little fridge, functional bathroom, television. Communication with Maria was great, as she was always friendly and responded quickly to questions.

24- Cozy & Modern 600sf Cottage in West Tremont
Karen's cottage was perfect for a weekend getaway in Acadia National Park. It was removed from Bar Harbor and the elevated tourism over there. Karen had a book with local food recommendations that was amazing. We ate at 2 restaurants in Tremont that were good enough to compete anywhere in the world (Harbor Table & Clark Pointe Cafe).

Little Cranberry Island Cottage
This was my second time at Mark's place and I can't wait to go back. The cabin is just perfect and I love everything about the island and the lovely community there. Islesford is the perfect getaway to recharge and reset.

Sunny and Spacious A-Frame
We absolutely loved our stay at the A-Frame! The house is located on the Quiet Side of the Island on a private secluded road that was so peaceful. We really enjoyed the property which included a large backyard and looked out over the water, both the sunrises and the sunsets from here were incredible. Erin's home was clean, well decorated and had all the amenities we needed for our stay, we felt right at home the entire week we stayed. Although it was only my husband and I with our two dogs, the home was large enough for a family and had plenty of space to hang out and enjoy. We really loved how close it was to Southwest Harbor where we enjoyed the restaurants and shopping as well as walking around. We were also able to explore Acadia National Park which was under a thirty minute drive from here and very easy to access. We would highly recommend Erin's home to anyone visiting the area!

Quaint Oceanfront Island Cottage, off Bar Harbor
The cottage is amazing! Great little getaway. Pay attention to the host’s instructions, and make sure you bring your provisions. Recommend biking/hiking to Fine Sand Beach. Could have spent an entire day there. Fresh lobster sold at the co-op. Don’t expect Tim’s (the market) to have much in way of food drink. Also, the transfer station isn’t open every day, so you might need to bring it back to Bar Harbor transfer station. Again, LOVED it and will definitely come back.
