Cottage holiday rentals in Deer Isle

The most beautiful place, exceeding all expectations. The views are spectacular. We breathed in peace and tranquility. A fabulous place to celebrate my 80th birthday with the whole family -- 16 of us. Everyone was comfortable in the space. In addition to being the perfect host, Samantha provided surprise extras which was such fun! Just a few of the highlights: S'mores at the firepit, lobster dinners, seals, bald eagles and fireworks. She made our stay truly memorable. My family gives the place the highest recommendation.

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!!

Our stay at the Great Pond Airbnb was incredible! The house was beautiful, cozy, and fully stocked with all the amenities we needed. We especially loved the paddle boat—it was magical to take it out on the lake early in the morning and watch the sunrise. Truly a dream! Finding the place initially was a bit tricky (we missed some details in the instructions), and cell service in the area is spotty, so definitely screenshot directions beforehand. Once settled, though, it was perfect. Being just over an hour from Acadia National Park was a huge bonus! We had a blast hiking, especially on Precipice Trail (challenging but amazing!) and Beehive Trail for a slightly easier, but still fun option. This spot offered the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a peaceful, nature-filled getaway!

Awesome place! Easy to find and awesome location. Shower was hot quickly. Bed was firm (which we love). Would go there again!

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

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.

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.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay at Eddie’s house. It was so clean and inviting. The house has so much character. The view of the lake was great. We would definitely book again.

Eric is a super friendly host and he knows the local recommendations. His cabin is easy to check-in, clean and very peaceful. One sidenote is this listing doesn't provide wifi, making it ideal for people looking for an unplugged getaway. We truly enjoyed our time on the beautiful Maine coast!

Great beach access, theres a little island you can go to with the tide

We had a lovely stay at Jeff's place in Friendship and appreciated all the thoughtful touches there. It was wonderful taking the kayaks out to explore the surrounding islands. I would also recommend the lobster rolls nearby at the Jameson Point restaurant.

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!

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!

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!

Lovely space and close to Acadia! Had everything we needed!

The cottage is a wonderful retreat in the beautiful town of Stonington. The cottage is very comfortable with all of the amenities I needed or wanted, including a nice bed, internet, washer/dryer, and kitchen supplies. Plus, it has a beautiful garden with a table and chair that was perfect for relaxing outside. The area feels very safe and it is very easy to walk into town to the shops and a few restaurants or just to look at the harbor. Crockett Cove Woods and Sand Beach are easy to get to and definitely worth a visit. Stonington is one of my absolute favorite places, and I can't recommend it enough for a quiet, peaceful getaway along the Maine coast. Maggi is a wonderful host; she is responsive, respectful, attentive, and kind - and fun to talk to! I stayed at the cottage a couple of years ago for several weeks and worked remotely, and I loved it so much that I came back for a weeklong visit just for relaxation, and that's the biggest praise I can give a place!

Great stay at Nathan’s place. Nathan was very responsive to any questions we had, and his scones are amazing. Boothbay Harbor is beautiful as well

I had a great overall experience staying at this Airbnb. The cabin is located in a beautiful area, and the surroundings were truly stunning. The property was well-kept and matched the description provided in the listing. I would definitely recommend this cozy cabin to other travelers looking for a peaceful getaway.

What an amazing place! The view of the shore from the house is beautiful and a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. An easy walk to the shoreline is such an advantage to this lovely cabin. Comfortable and well equipped. We look forward to returning.

This was my second time staying at Reach Winds, and I’ve been dreaming of a return since my first stay. It’s such a special place. Waking up to the view and the sun streaming in, sitting on the deck watching the tide roll in and out - it’s just magical. Basha is warm, an expert in the area and eager to share suggestions. (We took most of them and enjoyed the hikes, swims, shopping, food and wine throughout the trip.) Her eye is impeccable with the most perfectly curated Maine coastal cabin. That said, it’s an airbnb for a specific experience. If you want modern amenities, it’s not for you! It’s for someone who wants to be in nature, in a peaceful and private setting, and who doesn’t mind hand washing dishes in the cutest kitchen with a collection of vintage dishware and birds singing outside. (No fox sightings this year, but last time, I watched baby foxed frolick!) It’s a time capsule. If you want that, you’ll find no better lodging in Maine, and no better host than Basha.

We had a very nice stay here in Belfast The property was cozy and had everything we needed. The house was really clean, the kitchen nicely stocked and the bed was comfortable. Our host Kerri was responsive and friendly. The only thing I didn’t like was the shower being in the claw foot tub, it made it awkward to shower but it wasn’t a huge thing. Overall very happy.

Amazing and beautiful location! Super quiet at night and only a few cars driving by during the day. Cheryl was super communicative and had stocked the house with everything I could possibly need- gear for any kind of excursion, plenty of cookware, extra linens, even toothbrushes in case you forget. Perfect as a home base for exploring the area or for a quiet retreat. Also has an amazing, spacious kitchen, so great if you like to cook!

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.
