Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Mount Desert Island

Sydney’s house was perfect for our family! It was clean, with beautiful views on a quiet, private street. The house had plenty of toiletries, we didn’t need to buy any household items while there. The hot tub was clean and perfect for a breezy afternoon looking out at the water. Sydney was a great host, providing tons of recommendations on places to dine and sites to see. Perfect location to visit both the Schoodic Peninsula and Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor! Would love to stay here again.

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!

Bendigo and Jenni were great hosts from the start. They communicated before we arrived and checked in with us regularly throughout our stay to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Their house is beautiful and looks just like the photos. Every room was meticulously clean and so lovely. The location is very private and peaceful. After a day of hiking and sightseeing it felt like coming home each evening. We would definitely book again with Bendigo and Jenni on our future trips to MDI.

We loved our stay! Everything was as described and we had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook several meals. The view is absolutely beautiful from all parts of the house and we loved the outdoor amenities. Lucy was very responsive and gave us some great recommendations! Would love to come back!

Awesome house with fantastic views! The 5 of us girls had the best girls weekend ever. We had plenty of room, this house is very comfy and clean, and the hot tub and sauna were a plus. The ferry is so close you can walk to it. We would definitely stay here again!

This house was amazing—hosts really have thought of everything when it comes to guest experience! Kayaking out to the tiny islands in the bay a couple times allowed us to see horseshoe crabs and bald eagles up close. The fire pit was great and the “s’mores station” with supplies in the kitchen upon arrival was so cute and thoughtful. Our three kids loved this place and didn’t want to leave at the end of the week. Our boys especially loved the lower level game room with ping-pong, arcade games, and pop-a-shot. The kids also loved reading on the sofa in the upstairs loft overlooking the kitchen. The kitchen is well stocked and we cooked dinner there a couple times during the week. The hosts gave great local recommendations as well—the craft beer at Fogtown Brewing in Ellsworth (less than 15-min. drive) is excellent, and it is very kid-friendly with a large outdoor eating area and wood-fired pizza. We’d love to return to this house! Mosquitoes are fierce so bring bug repellent.

Wow! We had the best time at Brice’s property. It was so peaceful and quiet. It was comfortable and well appointed. It had everything we needed. The property is a short drive to Southwest and Bar Harbor. We enjoyed the proximity to trails and hikes and especially loved being directly on the lake. We would definitely stay here again!

My family and I enjoyed our visit to the Yellow Farmhouse. Bob greeted us and was helpful with suggestions for our short visit. What a beautiful area!!

The apartment was fantastic! It had everything we needed, and no clutter! Beautiful furnishings, modern, simple and comfortable. Surprised by the unexpected gorgeous view of the Narrows bridge at night - what a great seating alcove to enjoy it! Easily walkable to the waterfront and restaurants. We have come to depend on Warren's on the Waterfront and Bucksport House of Pizza over the past few years of visiting - this trip did not disappoint, the pizza and sandwiches are still top notch! We were here this time for our son's graduation from MMA, and although we rented a larger home for the younger guests and West Coast visitors, we chose this one for us, as a place to get away from the chaos of the larger home. It was simply perfect. Kudos to your housekeeping, the apartment was spotless and so welcoming - especially after a 13 hour drive from Maryland. Even though our son has graduated, we will be back. We just love the area. Thank You!!!

Kevin and Donna’s place was very clean and comfortable. It is just a short drive from downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia national park. Watching the geese and ducks in the beautiful backyard each morning was a bonus. Kevin and Donna are responsive and friendly.

Keith and Lisa went above and beyond with this unit. Out of the airbnbs I have stayed in this one was by far the best and the other reviews are not exaggerating. This place was supplied for anything you’d need from a baking sheet for a full pizza pie to bug spray for any outdoor needs. The list goes on; umbrellas, smores ingredients, disposable razors, slippers, cleaning supplies, and more. This place was stocked better than my own home. We felt super comfortable and the place was very clean, so clean that it all felt newly purchased. Keith was quick to respond to any questions we had and also provided extensive guides on local restaurants/activities in the Airbnb. When we come back we would 100% stay here again. The drive to Bar Harbor was about 30 minutes and the stay was well worth the money we saved compared to staying somewhere closer to the park.

David was super helpful and accommodating leading up to the trip when our group had a health scare. The location of the house is peaceful and an easy drive to the sights. The interior design is a little dated, but we had everything we needed. The two twin bed are in a loft the is up a pretty high ladder and is totally open. Since there are windows without shades and the kitchen is open concept anyone staying up there should bring ear plugs and eye mask if you’re a light sleeper.

This is a great place to stay, even better than it appears in the photos. It was not just clean, it was immaculate - and for an extremely observant nurse - that was awesome. The unit had easy access with a slight gradient path and only two steps - which was very helpful for us as seniors. The firm bed was very comfortable. Barbara was responsive and thought of everything, including having delicious specialty coffee for us - Thanks. She even had a cooler in the closet for us to use when we went to Acadia National Park. Like I said, she truly thought of everything. If we return to this area of Maine, we would love to stay again. We enjoyed our stay.

Patrick was a great host. The Hanniford House is very charming. It’s obvious that Patrick loves the home by how well he’s maintained it. We arrived after dark making it a little difficult to get in, but Patrick was right there to help us, so things went smoothly. The neighborhood is very quiet and we felt safe there. Downtown Ellsworth is within walking distance with lots of restaurants and little shops. If you like peace & quiet, and appreciate a well-maintained historical home then I highly recommend Hanniford House and its host Patrick.

The place is very nice and private. Quiet neighborhood, yet close to the downtown area in Camden. Walking distance to the trail to Mt Battie. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Jason was very friendly and had clear instructions on how to use everything. We really enjoyed our stay.

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!
