House holiday rentals in Mount Desert

Me and my friends loved this BNB!! The hot tub was amazing and the pool was an awesome addition. Instructions were clear and even called to walk me through everything. Plenty of places to sleep and loads of places to go!

The house was perfect for us. Very clean and organized. Great host always responded in a timely manner. Was only about a 30 to 40 minute drive to Acadia National Park & Bar harbor, depending on traffic it could take longer. If we ever make it back to Maine I would definitely stay at the Higgins Retreat again. Thanks again Richard & Tina.

this was the 3rd time our family has stayed,again we had a fantastic time! We chose to return due to the great space, a fabulous indoor pool, great kitchen and an amazing view. Great attention to details, comfortable for large families or groups and peaceful for just 2.

Thank you Christina! Great weekend stay for UMaine graduation. Great location from campus and stores for the things we forgot (haha).

We felt like at home. The house is located in a private property with swimming pool and tennis courts. It’s very clean and very peaceful. Just a clarification about the description : there’s no bathroom in the basement. Then if you come with elderly people or very young kids, it could be annoying. If you like cooking, the kitchen is very well equipped. We´ll keep a very good memory of our stay in Ducktrap Retreat during the colorful foliage season.

Booked this place for our anniversary to get away from the city for a weekend.. we found exactly what we were looking for! The hot tub was wonderful, the house was clean and cute, and we had everything we could have needed! Estelle was very responsive and gave clear instructions for everything. Would recommend this place for a quiet getaway or a small group trip in the summer!

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.

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!

Beautiful, clean, fully-stocked home in quiet, peaceful area. Outdoor amenities (seating, fire pit, etc.) are perfect for gathering. Hosts are very responsive, friendly. This is the nicest airbnb I've ever stayed in.

We had a wonderful stay at this Southwest Harbor rental! The owners were welcoming, thoughtful, and responsive. The home met our needs and we had everything we needed. One thing to note is the laundry is in the basement so if you have mobility issues that could be an issue but the machines worked well and it’s always nice to be able to have clean laundry on a trip. One of our favorite things about this home was the giant tv and comfortable seating for movie nights after exploring the area all day. I would recommend this rental if you are interested in staying in a quiet and comfortable home on your trip to area!

LOVED this place!! Clean, that’s a dealbreaker, and it was clean! Situated on 8 acres, peaceful, dog-friendly, cozy, just felt like home. Loved the bottle of wine and chocolates, that’s the way to a girls heart, after a clean place ofc. There were tissues in the bathroom, stocked kitchen, w &d, great lighting. There was this quilt and rug in the master bedroom that looked like I was sleeping at grandmas house. We had to drive everywhere, as this was not a walking rental, but totally worth it. Felt like the heart of Acadia. You have to drive to all the trails anyway. Would totally stay here again.

Lynn's place was great for checking out Acadia, Bar Harbor other surrounding harbors. It had everything we needed and having water bottles, camp chairs and blankets was a bonus. Kim P

The house was cozy and comfortable with all amenities we could need. The kitchen was huge and had a ton of pots and pans and every implement and accessory we could possibly want. We loved the living room, which was filled with books and music, and an invitation from RIch to listen to/read whatever we liked. We also loved the quiet surroundings. It was lovely and peaceful. I would definitely recommend the property and the owner.

Best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had! Wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else when visiting the area. Perfect location, wonderful place, and extremely accommodating host. A hidden gem in Bar Harbor.

Beautiful place in a beautiful setting! We loved Salt in the Pines for our group of three couples. Scenic ~20 minute drive to Bar Harbor and easy access to Acadia. We already want to come back and stay again!

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.

If I could compare this airbnb to an NBA player it would be Lebron Raymone James

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.

The TreeHome was beautiful, nestled against the quiet side of Acadia NP, among other single-family homes. We felt very safe. Surrounded by trees and large granite rocks, we could not see another house from the windows. The house was pristine with the latest-styled furniture, kitchen, & bath. Comfortable beds. Wifi was great. Loved the tree in the center of the spiral staircase, all the live plants, the ship's rigging to hold the lantern in the vaulted ceiling, and the painting of Appa. We felt like we were with "our people". Would love to stay there again!

From the very beginning of our booking process, Stephanie was absolutely incredible! We had a secret wedding elopement and Stephanie made sure that we had the best experience possible for the reception we had at her place. We set up tents outside for the dinner, and spent quality time with friends and family both inside, and outside by the fire. It was a memorable and unforgettable experience thanks to Stephanie and her beautiful home. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a getaway close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, and needs some peace and quiet! Her home was absolutely beautiful, we had no complaints, just all great things to say! Cannot wait to come back here again next year! (: Stephanie was very responsive and so kind! Stay at her place, you will not regret it!

Erica was SO accommodating and helpful. She responded extremely quick anytime we messaged and gave us tips and recommendations. Her home is adorable and we really enjoyed being there. It had everything we needed! Only thing to note is that while her place is 20 minutes from Acadia’s entrance it is a big park so anytime we were going to a hike it did take more like 40 minutes to get to it, just worth a mention! Highly recommend her place!

Megan’s house is in a quiet, lovely area of MDI with easy access to restaurants and coffee shops of Southwest Harbor. The rest of MDI is also easily accessible. The house is lovely.

Everything was clean and just what I expected from the listing. It was a great location in relation to Acadia National Park. We enjoyed staying in more secluded spot, but we could easily drive into the busier Bar Harbor area. I highly recommend staying at Hannah’s place!

We had a wonderful stay. Melissa and Andrew’s place is fantastic! It was very cozy, clean, and a convenient base for Bar Harbor adventures.
