Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Penobscot River

A great stay at this lovely, cozy home—yet again! Already looking forward to returning in July. You’ll find it all here: It’s quiet, with all the amenities you need (and nothing you don’t), the pretty water views, and a location that provides access to good restaurants and the beautiful Acadia National Park.

Very charming place. Would stay again.

I had a truly wonderful experience at this property. The home itself was absolutely beautiful, tastefully designed, clean, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. What truly set it apart, though, was the peaceful environment. Surrounded by nature and tranquility, it was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether you’re looking to relax, recharge, or simply enjoy a serene setting, this property is an ideal choice. Highly recommended

This is a great little place. It's small, but well laid out, and nicely renovated and furnished inside. The woooden deck out back is a bit rickety, but nothing of concern. Kitchen is very well supplied with better-than-usual pots and pans, etc. A salad spinner, carrot peeler would be nice. Beds are comfortable, and bedding is very nice. Folks with mobility issues should be aware that the stairs to the upstairs bedroom are a bit steep. Backyard is small but fenced and helpful for those that want to let their pet run around, though do note that there are nooks and crannies (e.g. under the back deck) that where they might get into mischief. The neighborhood is nice and friendly, even if some of the nearby houses are a bit run down. (There are lots of beautiful old Victorian houses too. It’s a nice mix.) Just a couple of blocks to the bike trail to Maine campus in Orono though the university-owned woodlands with walking/skiing/mountain bike trails. We would stay again.

We know we got a gem of a location during the off season for Arcadia. The location was close enough for us to walk to a lot of different places. The recommendations for local food and coffee was great. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful location, accommodating host and very responsive and flexible. The place is a hidden gem right next to the lake. It is in a very secluded setting, definitely worth it.

We stayed at Sabrina's place for 2 nights while visiting Acadia. The property is very private and quiet. it had a view of the cove right behind the house. We enjoyed going out there to see the sunrise. The house is very clean and organized. It had everything we needed for out stay. I would recommend this if your looking for a place away from the crowds of Acadia National Park.

Beautiful place and great host. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get away for a weekend.

Ryan’s place was just as advertised. It’s was centrally located within walking distance to stores and restaurants within a quiet neighborhood. The home had all one would need to be comfortable. Additionally there was a nice outdoor fire pit and a hot tub. I would recommend Ryan’s place.

Friendly and responsive host. Place was beautiful.

A beautiful, historical home. Walkable location- easy to get to restaurants and shopping. The home has plenty of room for a large group of people! The home is well decorated, well thought out- including labels everywhere so you can find what you need. The rooms and beds were cozy. My kids enjoyed a game of hide and seek in this massive place! The kitchen was a dream to cook in! Cale was an amazing host- super responsive, so helpful and kind! Would definitely stay again!

Better than pictured and Christina was great! Will definitely stay again!

What a cute cottage with absolutely everything one would need Killer view

Three girlfriends and I stayed at Hillside for a week. The setting and location were absolutely beautiful. It was so quiet and peaceful and I loved walking the trail. The house was roomy and comfortable. We highly recommend!!

This lovely apartment directly overlooking the park in downtown Bar Harbor was the perfect place for our family. With grandparents, parents, two small children, and a chihuahua, we had room to spread out, sleep comfortably, walk to the beach and the park, shop, and eat wonderful food and ice cream. I would want others to know that the stairs up to the apartment are steep, a tiny bit tricky for the senior with bad knees and the toddlers with short legs. The apartment has a Smart TV, which wasn't really watchable for us. If they had cable it would have been just perfect! Overall, this place was in a dream location and afforded all of us a chance to relax and enjoy the gorgeous fall weekend in Maine.

I recently stayed with my family at this incredible Airbnb that exceeded all my expectations. This property offered a hot tub, a pool table, and a level of privacy and tranquility that made for a truly relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was being able to watch the northern lights from the hot tub – it was absolutely magical. We spent a week in Acadia, and the location was perfect, just 15-20 minutes from Bar Harbor or the nearest town. The hosts were very responsive, and the place was fantastic for families, being both kid and pet friendly. It was a week filled with unforgettable moments, and I can't recommend this place enough!

Our family and I had a wonderful stay at Jackies, we are all originally from maine, and her home gives you everything great about maine. We really felt at home, it snowed christmas eve which made it even more beautiful ( The driveway was plowed out early as well). I brought a small christmas tree with us on our trip up, and when we walked in, the place was decorated for christmas, which was just amazing and so thoughtful. We definitly plan on staying again, the next time we are back in maine. Thank you again Jackie!

Staying at Paul and Shankari’s retreat home was lovely. There was plenty of space for all of us (about 14 people) and the hosts left us great instructions and amenities.

Great stay with our pup Gus! Place was clean and organized! About 30 min away from local Walmart so not to far but overall peaceful and serene! Would definitely book in future!

Brenda's cabins are an excellent option for a visit to the Maine lakes region. We just love the fall colors around the cabins and there are nice trails for walks right on the property. Everything you'd need is right in the cabin and the location is just a 20 minute drive to Dover-Foxcroft and the beautiful Peaks-Kenny State Park and Moosehead Lake is under an hour. A day trip to Acadia is possible too.

"From my daughter: This is our 3rd trip to Acadia National Park, but the first time at this Air B&b. Originally it was supposed to be for 5 of us, but 3 couldn't make it, so it ended up just being my husband and I. The Air B&b is in a remote enough area that it is nice and peaceful, but still an easy 20-30 minute drive to almost anywhere on Mt. desert island. The house has so many thoughtful touches, like an area outside for a campfire, supplies for smores, basic seasoning and condiments, all the light switches labeled (so thankful for that!), etc. We did a grocery run our first day and came back to the house for almost all our meals. This was a cozy place and we'd recommend to anyone visiting Mt. Desert Island and would return here again if we come back in the future."

We greatly enjoyed our time at Slice of Haven. It was clean and comfortable and we all felt right at home. Krista and Joe were gracious hosts and helped recommend local attractions to see and restaurants to eat out.

It was a nice location and the place was as described. The dock was nice, but the stairs getting down is through the driveway of another house. It was a great spot to come back to after a day exploring Acadia.

This place was absolutely stunning! The house was super cozy and had everything we could possibly need. And the yard? It was huge! We had a blast exploring it. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.
