Rental unit in Tremont
5 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviewsAdi’s Mountain View
Our stay at Adi’s Mountain View was wonderful! The apartment is clean and very comfortable with quality linens, soaps, and kitchen items. The property surrounding the apartment is absolutely beautiful! We enjoyed seeing lovely sunrises and deer, turkeys, birds and chipmunks from the back deck. We also enjoyed walking to the beautiful pond at the far end of the property. We would definitely stay here again!

Adorable building! Very clean and new updated room. Right in the middle of downtown, so easily walk to anywhere. Perfect for what we needed! Will definitely be back!
Rental unit in Brewer
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 77 reviews2 bedroom furnished apartment
A great hidden gem! So pretty and thoughtful in its decor with extra touches like reclining sofa seats in a very comfortable & clean living space. Beautiful river views out the windows. Looks better than the pictures & the little store downstairs has everything you need, plus very good pizza! Would definitely stay again. Five stars!
Rental unit in Bucksport
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 41 reviewsPenthouse Dynamic Water Views
This property was as described in listing. The view from the spacious deck is actually more appealing than the listing photo. We very much enjoyed sitting on the deck mornings and evenings taking in the view. The property was clean, well-stocked and comfortable. The location is convenient for exploring Maine coast from Bar Harbor to Camden. Local restaurants are moderately priced and enjoyable.

This place is a perfect alternative to staying in Bar Harbor (which I DEFINITELY recommend)! It’s quiet but close to plenty of restaurants and the park. Nancy is also the sweetest and extremely helpful with whatever you need, and the space couldn’t be more comfortable and tranquil. From the bed to the beach, she’s got it figured out! Would definitely stay here again.
Rental unit in Ellsworth
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 142 reviewsStill Point (where the river meets the sea)
Very comfortable, clean , and spacious “mother in law suite” style place. Stayed with our 2yo - there were a bunch of fun toys for him to play with which was great! We moved the cot mattress to the bedroom for toddler to sleep near us. Nice yard on the river. About 40 min from Acadia. Of note: No oil, coffee, cream, or sugar so this needs to be purchased during stay; there were a few condiments and salt. Evelyn is so genuine and sweet. Enjoyed our stay, and so nice to have a kid friendly space!
Rental unit in Southwest Harbor
4.79 out of 5 average rating, 34 reviewsOceanfront in Southwest Harbor
What a great stay in an idyllic setting! The surrounding harbor and street are stunning, Main St is close enough to walk with cafes and shops, and it’s all very accessible to Bar Harbor and Acadia for daily exploring. We loved how clean and comfortable the unit and beds were. We enjoyed cooking dinner and breakfast in, as well as the ability to walk down to the water. We did not try to use a/c or heat due to time of year we visited (late September). Would 100% recommend!

Sydney was a great host. We really enjoyed our stay at the house, it was exactly what we were looking for. The home was located perfect for Bar Harbor, Acadia, and the Sunrise Trail. Everything was very clean, organized, and well maintained. Thank you for having us, we will be back!
Home in Ellsworth
4.84 out of 5 average rating, 106 reviewsPatten Pond Cottage
Seven stars out of five! We have stayed in numerous places in Maine over the years, and given a lot of five star reviews. This one surpasses them all, hence the off the charts grade. It is incredibly well provisioned, spotless, spacious, inviting, and has an enormous porch with a view so lovely it looks fake. You can't even hear your neighbors, let alone see them. We heard loons, crows, and one very belligerent owl, but not once did we hear our neighbors. The only way you will know the tenant is home, is that a car will park opposite on the side of the house from you. The fire pit makes it easy and convenient to host a fire, even if it is only for 45 minutes or so. Kayaks are provided along with life jackets. At night you can see millions of stars. Place is so peaceful and comfortable, we almost didn't make it into the park haha. We will definitely be back!

An amazing location on MDI. There is nothing quite like waking up to the sun over the water. Had everything we needed, would stay again!

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 145 reviewsPuppa’s View
We had a wonderful getaway. The home was well taken care of, clean, and nicely decorated. The water views, sunsets, and sunrises were picture perfect. If you are a light sleeper, there is a horn that goes on periodically through the night. You may want to sleep in the back bedroom if that will bother you. We would stay here again. It was peaceful.

This house is very in beautiful setting. Situated right on the lake. Not only is house great but 4 kayaks are provided with a boat dock. House was immaculate in all living areas. It has two living spaces that would be perfect for a family with teenagers or older children. Downstairs family room has a separate TV and Pool Table. Beautiful views of the lake make house a very restful experience!
Home in Dedham
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 110 reviewsThe Narrows Lake House/Phillips Lake-Bangor/Acadia
We had a wonderful time in Dedham and the Narrows Lake House was a great home base. The lake is absolutely beautiful, and the house is relatively close to Ellsworth and Bangor, as well as Acadia. Really nice place to wake up every morning (with the added plus of a very friendly dog named Miss Aspen who will definitely say hi!). The house is pretty far back on a long and narrow gravel road, so it's not particularly walkable and you'll want to have a car that's at least a little bit suited for it. Our rented minivan was just fine but an older vehicle or one with dim headlights might make it a little tricky. The floors are also quite thin and sound travels downward, so if you have kids or louder members of your group, you'll want to have them stay in the basement if possible. Finally, Colleen was a kind and attentive host! She reached out before the stay, which was very appreciated, and is delightful to talk to. You'll be very well taken care of if anything does happen.

This is a beautiful, quiet getaway with all the amenities needed. A perfect home away from home.
Condo in Southwest Harbor
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 91 reviewsMarina side Stern condo
The photos don't do this place justice. It was spacious and squeaky clean. Beautiful views of the water. For a busy marina it was pretty quiet. During the day there would be people just outside the unit talking but nothing disruptive. Great price for a beautiful place. Only about a 25min drive to Bar Harbor. We would definitely stay here again.

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 131 reviews2BR Condo w/ 3 min Walk to Downtown SWH [Low Tide]
Check was smooth and easy and the tip to stop in Ellsworth for necessities was really helpful. Place is beautiful and clean and his checkout is the best I have ever had using AirBnB!! Basically lock the door! Yay. Finally someone gets it. I do not go on vacation to strip beds or take out trash❤️. I cannot recommend his place more. It was perfect.
Condo in Orland
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 65 reviewsToddy Haven: A Lakeside Condo Near Acadia.
BEAUTIFUL landscape directly on a lake with access to fishing poles, kayaks, and canoes, we felt like we didn’t need to leave the property at all. Perfect location to visit Acadia and near by towns. I wish we could have stayed for twice as long. The condo itself seems to be brand new! The beds were comfortable and the decorations and big screen tv were a nice touch. We spent hours on the dock and in the lake (kayaks). Cannot wait to return to this slice of heaven.

We had an awesome stay, witnessed amazing sunrise right from the coziness of living room. Patio is nice to sit outside but weather was a bit cold. Exploring Acadia National park was a breeze and had great nearby trails. Just 20-30 mins to bar harbor. Overall loved this place ! Would love to stay again
Condo in Southwest Harbor
5 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviewsBest views on MDI 2 bdrm 2 bth condo waterfront
Well-equipped with guidebooks, kitchen implements, extra pillows, bikes, even a lobster steam pot! We lacked for nothing. Loved the photographs throughout the condo showcasing Acadia NP. Especially loved the map on the wall showing what islands we could see from the balcony. Neighbors were quite friendly & gave several good restaurant recommendations. Peaceful & quiet side of the island allowed for restful sleep each night such that I wasn’t tired after our vacation.
