Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Mount Desert

Peaceful location and charming home on Mount Desert Island. So much to do nearby just within short drive. Bee Hive hiking trail, Cadillac mountain and echo lake. Acadia park is beautiful. Felt at home here. House was very clean and perfect retreat for our family of 4.

A beautiful home off the beaten track, surrounded by woods, and stunning view of Bartlett Narrows make this house special. On the quiet side of MDI, we had bald eagles, a school of porpoises and loons. The caretaker told us that seals come up on the private beach as well. We loved the seclusion and quietness of the place - particularly when the lobster boats weren’t working. The rooms are a good size, kitchen has all the necessary tools to cook, beds are firm, and the deck is comfortable. Place was clean upon our arrival. There are no stores within 15 minutes so planning your grocery trips is important. The Quiet side is great for hiking, and kayaking nearby. For lobster dinners, our favorite is Archie’s with live music and outdoor seating and views. Bar Harbor and the other part of Acadia National Park are a 20-30 minute drive. If you want a place away from the crowds, this is it.

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!

Lauren was a wonderful host! We had an amazing stay at her cottage. It was less than a 10 min drive from her place to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia. Lauren was attentive and fair when handling any issues we ran into during the stay. We will definitely be back!

The house was absolutely amazing! Clean- gorgeous views and very peaceful. 10/10 would stay there again.

Our stay was absolutely perfect for our family of four during our Acadia National Park vacation! The house was clean, well-stocked with great amenities, and had just the right amount of space for all of us to feel comfortable. The location was ideal — close enough to the park to easily reach everything we wanted to see, yet peaceful and secluded enough to truly unwind. We especially loved the outdoor space and used the fire pit almost every night. It was the perfect family getaway, and we’d return in a heartbeat!

We loved staying here! The surroundings were so peaceful and beautiful, and the house was clean and comfortable, with great outdoor space, as well. Kathryn was great…super responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone!

Great Airbnb that is about a 30 minute drive to bar harbor. Super close to hikes and beaches. Extremely communicative and flexible host that accommodated some changes on our end!

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.

Pam's place was wonderful spot for our trips back and forth to Acadia. Away from the crowds of Bar Harbor and only a short drive. The place is cute, quaint and well stocked. Very pleasant stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at April’s private river retreat house. The apartment was very clean with lots of amenities. The travel toiletries were a nice surprise. We were about a 30 minute drive from Bar Harbor but it took close to an hour to get to some trailheads in Acadia NP. The weather got hot during our stay and April had her husband come to put the window AC in for us which was appreciated. Our only complaint was slow response time from the host during our stay and difficulty finding the driveway upon initial arrival. Google maps said the house was 3 doors closer on the road than it actually was. We would love to come back in the future!

Terrific space and what a beautiful setting. A destination stay for sure!

Beautiful place! Felt like home away from home. Very clean and has all the essentials you might need for a vacation. Nancy and her husband were very friendly. Highly recommend!

Incredible, we really enjoyed staying at the sunrise deck, so incredibly home feeling and sweet for me and my wife’s honeymoon. We loved the extra care Lise took to bring gluten free snacks for my wife it was so sweet and thoughtful. We strongly recommend coming to stay here for Acadia or even the surrounding towns as well! Thank you Lise!

Julie’s listing was a wonderful place for us to relax after a day at Acadia national park or Bar Harbor. It was spotless and had everything we needed.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! The location was amazing. Right off Main Street and totally walkable to anything in bar harbor with a parking space! It was on the right side of bar harbor to get to Acadia within 5 minutes. We loved all of the restaurants close by and the access to the park. The place was so comfortable and cozy! Beautifully decorated and warm after cold hikes in the park. We did not hear any noise at all from the hospital which is tiny compared to the hospitals in Virginia. I didn’t even notice it was there. Brianne was so kind and responsive and recommended lots of good hiking and dining options. I can’t wait to come back here again! If I could give this home 6 stars I would and I am usually a picky reviewer! We will definitely be back to the same house if we come back to Bar Harbor, which I hope we do! It’s a great base for exploring Acadia! The kitchen was well stocked and the bedroom was very comfortable. Thanks so much for sharing with us!

Love this Condo. Superb location in Blue Hill Village, easily walkable to everything downtown. Modern and updated making it very comfortable. Well equipped with cleaning/cooking supplies so you can "live normally". The hosts are super responsive and helpful as well. Highly recommended.

The location of the condo is perfect if you are looking to stay in Maine to explore Acadia. The condo itself is minimalist but completely adequate. The indoor swimming pool and amenities at the clubhouse are perfect for anyone with kids and/or rainy days! The views were beautiful off the deck. I would definitely stay again!

The photos don't do this place justice. It was spacious and squeaky clean. Beautiful views of the water. For a busy marina it was pretty quiet. During the day there would be people just outside the unit talking but nothing disruptive. Great price for a beautiful place. Only about a 25min drive to Bar Harbor. We would definitely stay here again.

Pretty solid place, was on a discount but was clean, relatively near acadia, but only qualm was that it was a little hard to find. Not reallly host’s fault, we got confused. Overall solid place

We rented both the Toddy House and Rocky House for a week for our family of 12. The houses were as described and in pristine condition. We loved the fact that they were close together, so the late night group could stay up socializing, while the children could be put to bed without distraction. The Toddy House had a pool table which provided lots of late night entertainment. It also had a large open common area to accommodate our group, and we spent a lot of time on the screened porches. We really liked the access to the water with the dock, the canoes and kayaks, and the super cool fire ring. We are the type of family that asks a lot of questions, and Mark was quick to answer and take care of any questions or issues we had. We spent a great deal of time at Acadia, and while the drive was about 45 minutes to get there, it was not a problem at all. We would definitely return to 3Havens if we decided to take another vacation in this area. Mark and Laurie were excellent hosts.

The best of both world's. Situated on the edge of Bar Harbor, with private parking, this is a tranquil spot to rest and to use as a base for exploring Acadia. At the same time, it is only a few minutes walk to the center of town. We loved walking in the evenings to go to restaurants, bars, movies, etc. --If you get a "late night" (for Maine) hankering for Mt. Desert Island ice cream, you can even walk *back* to town and satisfy your craving (...until 10pm). Loved our visit.

We had a wonderful stay in Ted's place. It has amazing views and the unit is well stocked with all necessities. Highly recommended!

What a beautiful location and house. There’s nothing better than sitting in the living room or front porch and being able to see the Belfast Bay. The house is very clean and neat. Beds are comfortable, shower is very hot. Don’t miss the sunrise in the mornings. Overall this is one of our favorite places we have stayed in Belfast.
