Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Mount Desert Island

Our family had the best, most relaxing vacation at Evergreen Hill! Everything was fresh, clean, and comfortable. Our dogs loved the fenced backyard but their parents loved that feature even more! We enjoyed being close to Southwest Harbor, Seawall, and Bass Harbor Head Light. Our hosts thought of everything for tourists with dogs, and our family was so appreciative. The neighborhood is private and quiet. We opened windows and listened to the birds every morning. We wholeheartedly recommend Evergreen Hill!!

Great accommodations. Megan was pleasant and timely in responding to questions about the house. I would highly recommend this place to anyone

We loved our stay. It was just what we needed at the end of the day after exploring Acadia and the small towns scattered throughout the area. It was so cozy and we would definitely come back.

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!

The house was exactly as described. It was a perfect location that left most of the midtown (or downtown?) area at a walkable distance. It was relatively peaceful too. We only had three very minor issues while there. First the WiFi was down when we arrived, but they were very responsive and came same day to fix it. Second, we got a little confused about the parking. Again the host was super responsive and helped explain it to us. Lastly, if you are renting the house for four or more people I recommend buying your own shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The host provided some and we never reached out for more but they are very small and probably won’t last a group. I’m sure if we had reached out they would have provided more but we decided to go buy some to save everyone effort. The house was beautiful and the amenities were very thoughtful. They have provided boardgames which we took advantage of and a lobster pot! I highly recommend this place.

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.

Comfortable and cozy! We really enjoyed our time at “the pink house”. It was an excellent home base for us while we explored the island, and we felt so lucky that our dog could join us on the trip. Thank you for the pet friendly accommodation!

Aaron's place was fantastic for our party of 6 (my partner and me, our kids, her parents). The house was located perfectly on the North end of Mt. Desert Island by Hadley Point Beach (where we were lucky to catch both a meteor shower and the Northern Lights.) While the lower level had a separate entrance, the kids appreciated the additional privacy/area away from adults. The entire house was clean and the beds were very comfortable. All of the amenities (well stocked kitchen, two bathrooms, washer/dryer, patio) were much appreciated. We'd definitely stay again when visiting Acadia.

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.

My return visit to the Boathouse was even lovelier than I hoped it would be. The location can't be matched by anything else I've seen. I enjoyed a September visit with my dog and was lucky to have pristine weather. I lived a very simple and healthy outdoors life and came home the better for it. The Boathouse is true to its description: it is simple and rustic and uncomplicated but well-equipped, and is perfect for one-and-dog, or for two people. A little coming-and-going from the neighboring houses meant that I didn't feel isolated. Margaret is truly an exceptional and friendly host who communicates promptly and clearly. I almost hesitate to share "my" Boathouse location with too many of my back-home friends because it feels so intimate and special. I already want to be back there. I offer my deep thanks to Margaret and to the place that I could - briefly - call home.

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!!

We got a very rainy week in Maine but still enjoyed the beautiful, comfortable and well stocked house, views, decks and incredible garden. Beautiful restaurants, bookstores and wine and antique shops near by. Hope to return to very soon.

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!

Aaron's apartment was the perfect place for our group of four - clean, comfortable and in a great location. It had everything we needed, beds were super comfortable, access to the Inn was nice for breakfast and post-hike relaxation in late afternoons. Aaron was a very responsive host. We plan to stay here again next time we come to Bar Harbor.

Valerie's home was clean and in a quiet neighborhood peaceful stay

We had a great stay at this house! Plenty of beds for everyone. Convenient to get to Acadia and bar harbor with a short drive!

Amazing place to stay if looking to explore Bar Harbor and Acadia! Lots to do around. Place was as described and pictured. A lot of space! Beautiful views from the balcony. Wish we stayed longer. When we come back, will definitely stay again!

So many great things to stay about this fantastic Airbnb: amazing location, gorgeous backyard, everything was clean and neat. The hosts had excellent communication and were responsive as questions came up. They had great recommendations for supermarkets, hikes, local restaurants. There were so many little things that showed attention to detail: sound machines in every room, jewelry bowls on nightstands, good quality cosmetics, detergent for the washing machine, etc. The house has 3 bedrooms: all the linens were clean and neat. The one thing to keep in mind is that the third bedroom was smaller and had less space than the other two with no furniture - this would be perfect for a family with kids but was not ideal for 3 friends traveling since not all the bedrooms were exactly equitable. Overall, we had an amazing experience - it was such a pleasure to stay there.

We had an incredible stay at the Blue Hill Bay house! Nestled in a peaceful wooded setting, the home feels wonderfully secluded, yet inviting. The expansive windows, especially from the top floor loft, make you feel like you’re living in a treehouse. We loved spending evenings around the fire pit, which is surrounded by thoughtfully curated plants, creating a truly magical atmosphere. The grill was easy to use, making outdoor meals a breeze. Inside, the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms spotless. We also appreciated how thoughtfully designed the space was, especially since it's hard to find a cute place that also warmly welcomes dogs. If you’re considering a stay here, don’t hesitate, this place is a gem! We can’t wait to return.

This is our fourth year staying at Alan’s home, and there is a reason for that. This house is exactly what you want in a peaceful vacation home. The property is beautiful, private, and nestled within nature. Our favorite week of the year is the week we get to spend time at big camp. You are close to Bar Harbor and Acadia (but not TOO close), and it is the perfect place to unwind and relax. We hope to continue coming and spending time at big camp.

A great place for a stop during a road trip. 10/10.

We enjoyed our stay immensely! The home is very comfortable, clean, and every little detail was thought out for renters (even provided sunscreen, bug spray, laundry detergent, etc!). The host was super responsive and helpful with clear instructions. We felt so welcome and the area is really peaceful. We enjoyed watching the deer and birds from the comfortable back deck. We would definitely recommend this cottage!

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.

Wonderland was wonderful! Not only was the place immaculate and adorable but the location was perfect for privacy and peace! We felt right at home at Aarons and appreciated all the amenities including a delicious breakfast with THE BEST PASTRY EVER!!! Aaron knows the area very well and provided us with detailed maps and instructions to great sights that we would have never known of! Honestly this was the best airbnb we have ever stayed in.
