Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Bar Harbor

We absolutely loved our stay at Sweetwater! The home is beautiful, spacious, and sophisticated. It’s located in a peaceful corner of Southwest Harbor—perfect for relaxing after adventures in Acadia. The open-concept living area made it easy to gather as a family, whether we were lounging by the stone hearth, cooking in the well-equipped kitchen, or enjoying meals together. The multiple patios were a dream for morning coffee and evening unwinding. We had a campfire every night and walked to Beale's Lobster Pier by walking across the causeway one evening. Upstairs, all three bedrooms were thoughtfully designed for comfort—plush mattresses, soft linens, and just the right lighting. The master suite, in particular, felt like a serene retreat with its water view and private bath. This place felt like a true home away from home. We’d come back in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, stylish, and well-appointed spot near Acadia.

While it might seem a tad bit pricey it's right in line with all of this desirable area particularly in that you have the whole place, not just an apartment. The setting is beautiful and you could stay for a month and not run out of new experiences. We loved being on the "quiet side" of MDI in SW Harbor. Hosts were great to work with and I also appreciate we were able book on short notice after another reservation mysteriously disappeared from the app.

The house and the location were lovely. The owners are so kind and responsive. We were only 15 mins from Bar Harbor and about 15-20 from Acadia. We had a wonderful stay!

Brian’s AirBnb is in a quiet and safe neighborhood. The keypad check in is simple. The home is spotless. There are plenty of linens and kitchenware. The home is close to Acadia and downtown Ellsworth. If you want a short drive to Acadia and MDI, this is your place!

We had a great stay! Surrounded by beautiful nature. Very private but close 15 min drive into bar harbor. Trail head in the backyard was an added bonus. Very comfortable and large space to hang out! Loved our stay and would come back!

We loved our three nights at Seabank. The house was comfortable and immaculate, the kitchen well equipped, and the location—overlooking tidal Goose Bay with views toward Mount Desert Island—could not have been more tranquil (plus an easy 20-minute drive to Acadia/Bar Harbor). Robard was a terrific host, quick to answer our questions, and even lending a hand to ensure that we were able to check in early. We lucked into gorgeous weather and spent lots of time outdoors, reading on the deck, kayaking in the bay at high tide, and relaxing around the fire pit.

The unit is in the woods, very quite, 10-15min drive to Bar Harbor and get in to Acadia. In May there is a lot of bugs outside but very clean and nice inside the rooms. The host is very responsive.

My group and I had the most wonderful trip to Maine due to such a fabulous air b and b experience! Sean and Carra were so thoughtful in every element, from the decor and rooms to leaving us a pie and flowers. They clearly take great pride in their home and it showed in all elements. A group of 8 of us fit so comfortably in their home. I hope we get the chance to go back because it was such a great experience. Thanks again!!!!

Absolutely amazing stay! The place was spotless, in a perfect location, and communication was excellent throughout. Katie is a fantastic host and I would love to stay here again!

A quiet bungalow away from the tourist dense center of Bar Harbor and easily accessible to great food, hikes, and the park. The kitchen was well stocked and the whole place was thoughtfully decorated and appealing to all of us!

If you are looking for a vacation that is quiet, relaxing and with stunning views then this is the place! Only 10 minutes from downtown bar harbor and quick easy access to Acadia. Honestly, my wife and I made less trips to Acadia because the views from the property were better! The hosts are fantastic and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend.

So peaceful but off season. So not sure how it would be with lots of traffic and people. But the private deck and entrance was wonderful. The water view couldn’t have been more up close and personal with the beautiful harbor. The place was clean and cozy. Perfect lighting. Didn’t watch tv once. A convenient common room for extra supplies or a cup of coffee. Staff was very friendly when we were checking out. No front desk attendant and none needed. They answer messages quickly!

We had a very nice day at James’s place. It had everything we needed and the space was very well thought out. Would recommend!

Great place to stay in Bangor. John was super responsive and proactive with any/all questions I had on top of being very accommodating and polite. Wonderful host.

Renee's place was great for rest and recovery between hikes at Acadia. Had everything we needed to prepare our own food, and located close to shopping. We had a great time and would definitely stay again next time we explore Acadia!

The Room with a Brew is fantastic. The description matches the space perfectly- it is actually even more charming than the photos. It is comfortable, spotless, and aesthetically pleasing. Leah is a fantastic host and checked in with me a couple times to ensure my stay was going well. I highly recommend this space for anyone visiting the Belfast area. It is a treasure.

First ever air bnb stay and it’ll be hard to beat! Great views (even got to see some ball lightening in the distance) very dog friendly, the hot tub was awesome! Super cozy place, will definitely be back!

The view from this cabin is gorgeous and it was so convenient for hiking in Acadia! We were very happy to be able to bring our dog, and her kennel fit nicely right behind the couch. Everything was perfect for us, but a photo of the bathroom in the listing would be helpful for others to decide if the setup would work for them. Overall we were delighted with our stay and would love to go back! It was such a beautiful place to stay and so close to all the hiking!

We stayed at the Bambi Inn on Art Farm and loved everything about it! The space is thoughtfully designed with cheerful custom art and decor. The hosts designed a custom manual/booklet that blows the typical air bnb binder out of the water. The home was well equipped with everything you might need from extra blankets & towels, to kitchen and bathroom needs, first aid supplies, sunscreen, bugspray, and more. It’s impossible not to smile when arriving at the Bambi Inn. The hosts provide bicycles to use for the short ride to beautiful Lamoine Beach. We were able to get to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, and other neighboring towns with ease. I’d highly recommend booking here!

Our stay at Dave's lakefront cabin was exactly what we'd hoped for, and then some. This isn't just a rental; it feels like a genuinely preserved piece of Maine – authentic and full of character. Being right on the lake was the absolute highlight. The views are truly epic, offering stunning sunrises and peaceful evenings that we savored from the deck and the dock. It was the perfect backdrop for morning coffee and winding down after exploring. Dave is an exceptional host. He was incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, making sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. You can tell he cares deeply about this place and his guests. The cabin is filled with thoughtful touches that are one-of-a-kind, from the cozy throws to the unique decor that tells a story, making it feel less like a temporary stay and more like a cherished home.

The pictures don’t do it justice! This cabin has it all, and Bethany was a great host. I would recommend this place to anyone, and I would stay here again.

Old school cabin vibes! Loved this place and we will be back to spend much longer than our short 2 days. I loved having a fire going after a day in the woods and hopping into a cozy bed. It was too cold for us to go swimming- but their were canoes, kayaks, row boats and other water crafts to choose from. Beautiful and rustic. Clean and comfortable. Also we left something behind and they shipped it the next day . Thank you!

Great stay! Loved the cabin! Loved the record player and listening to some oldies. Would definitely stay here again!

Kelly's cabin was a very quiet and peaceful place where we were able to enjoy the beach right on the property, watch the sunset and the changing water levels on the shore. The cabins are about a 45 minute drive from Acadia and Bar Harbor which are a must for a long or short vacation in Maine. Our cabin was simple but had everything we needed and Kelly was very responsive with any questions we had.
