Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Mount Desert

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.

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!!

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!

We had a great time. Quiet location but not far from Bar Harbor. Spacious house. Very good communication with hosts.

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!

Sol’s place was peaceful and private, but still only eight minutes to the restaurants, coffee shops, and stores in Southwest Harbor. It’s also conveniently located to the Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse and many trails. Sol’s place was very cozy on cold days, and the water was very hot! I cooked most of my meals at the house, and had all of the basics I needed. Sol was very thoughtful and quick to respond, and even left the porch light on for me when he found out that I would get in late. As a woman traveling alone, I felt perfectly safe and comfortable at Sol’s place. Highly recommend, if you’re looking to stay on the quieter side of the island, which I personally think is a better experience.

We felt right at home at the Open Hearth Inn. Arthur and his team were very friendly and helpful. The inn is stocked with everything you need to enjoy your stay, including snacks and treats for both humans and pups. We enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub when we weren’t hiking in Acadia. Definitely a great experience!

Pam’s place was so spacious but cozy, warm, clean and so welcoming. Pam was also friendly and quick to respond. We were lucky her place was available when we booked ☺️

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!

Such a cute place to stay near Bar Harbor and Acadia! The dogs were adorable! Perfect place to stay after a long day of exploring.

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!

This place is absolutely adorable and we had SO much fun! The attention to detail in designing was incredible, the Mrs. Pac man machine was so much fun, we enjoyed game nights with the games provided, nights by the fire pit, and a fully stocked kitchen made things so stress free! Everything was so clean and easy to find. The host was very responsive! Can’t wait to tell our friends about this gem!

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.

Beautiful spot and view from the hot tub and dock. Cute little living space and we loved the welcome/ informational guide provided as well as the home made cookies ready for us on arrival. Would stay again!

Our stay at the cabin was perfect! My boyfriend and I wanted somewhere we could stay with our dog and go hiking in Acadia National Park. The cabin is a short drive to many of the best hiking trails and only a 25 min drive to Bar Harbor. It’s in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood that we were able to walk our dog around. The cabin itself was the perfect size for us and was very comfortable. The grill was great and we cooked out on it almost every night. We had everything we could think of there, and it truly felt like home for the week that we were there. The house manual had great recommendations for the area. We can’t wait to come back.

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!

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!

AMAZING spot for a weekend getaway! Had a great time and the place was fantastic!

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.
