House holiday rentals in Penobscot County

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.

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

We loved our stay at Jason’s place! We had 10 total people staying for Labor Day weekend - 7 adults, 3 kids and a dog. We all had plenty of room, the house was gorgeous - especially the kitchen and living room! We used the pool, the lake (kayaks and canoes - lots of life jackets to choose from), the basketball court and were so thankful for the option to rent the pontoon boat! My son had a great time fishing. The neighborhood is very quiet. We also had fun checking out nearby antique shops one morning & going into Bangor one evening for dinner. We will be back!

A nice rustic, peaceful getaway for our crew at the end of a long day. We appreciated the space and the surrounding greenery of Maine!

Lynn was very responsive and friendly. The place felt a little “unfinished”, but accurately portrayed. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great!

I was looking for a comfortable place to stay while my husband and I were town, and this was definitely it! We felt right comfortable and right at home, and it was wonderful having the whole place to ourselves. The location is beautiful and tranquil, and you can't ask for a better view. There were a few minor hiccups while we were there, but Ashley was proactive and responded immediately. We will be back in the future and recommend this place to others as well!

Kevin and Cathy's place is spotlessly clean and in a pristine and serene setting. Great location on the lake with views of sunsets and sunrises. The kitchen and baths appear to be renovated and are in spotless condition with lots of supplies. We really didn't need a thing. There was never a need to reach out because instructions and pre-checkin in communications had already answered everything. We didn't use any of the many kayaks (a bit too chilly) but we did enjoy the firepit. We like the layout, with bedrooms on the top floor and living space downstairs - adults could sleep in while kids were free to have breakfast and play downstairs. I can't think of anything to add or change about this lodging. It was a wonderful visit.

Excellent host and property. Host responsive, friendly. Quiet, safe neighborhood. Spotless interior and well maintained exterior. All as advertised. This place is a keeper.

This home was very private and quiet. Any questions I had during my stay were quickly answered. I loved that the pellet stove was on when I arrived and it was easy to use. I went through a few bags of pellets that were provided. The bed was so comfortable. Ashley had cotton and flannel linens on the bed and it was very cozy. I slept so well. The WiFi was excellent. I opted to work for the week at the dining room table, so I could be by the pellet stove (it was in the single digits, with a foot of fresh snow on the ground, when I was there), but there’s a very functional desk in the bedroom too, with a lovely view outside. Speaking of snow, the storm hit on my third night and Ashley checked with me the day before to make sure I had everything I needed and suggested extra water in case the power went out. I didn’t lose power, but I was relaxed, knowing I was prepared. She even left out dog bowls and a towel for my pup! Great stay!

What a beautiful hidden gem this lake house is! Nestled into the Maine forest on the edge of the peaceful lake, it was a perfect spot for a relaxed reunion for two families. As we have small children, I appreciated that the water isn't too close to the house but still accessible via stairs. Travis and Laura were excellent hosts and had the house stocked with everything we could need for a wonderful stay!

Loved staying here! Would love to come back. The view of the lake is beautiful. Responsive host.

The location is absolutely stunning! On our way home I was already looking to see when we could come back! The home was more spacious than we expected and had great amenities. We LOVED the wood fired sauna. We were able to walk to the local brewery which has great pizza and salads to fuel up for a long day of hiking the following day. This is really a perfect location with close proximity to Baxter, right on the lake, and restaurants near by. The owners were very responsive and gave us recommendations for local hikes when our plans unexpectedly had to change. I just wish we could have spent an entire week!!

Our stay at Talia’s was great! The rooms were clean and beautiful. Also Talia was a great host. She is responsive and gave clear instructions. We really enjoyed our stay!

This was a great place to stay outside of Baxter State Park. Within walking distance of restaurants in Millinocket and under an hour to get to the entrance of Baxter. LauraLee was responsive and very helpful during our stay. Would stay here again!

We, my son, daughter and I, have said that this was one of our favorites we've stayed at in our forays away from home for work. The interior spaces were thoughtfully decorated which gave it a homey feel. Well done Lindsae!

I live nearby but had friends visiting from Germany and wanted them to have the "camp" experience. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. My friends loved it as well as being right on the lake. The place was exactly as described and we felt right at home. I'm hoping this place is available whenever we have friends visit because I would definitely book it again.

This place was perfect for my family stay. the property and home had everything you could ever need for a comfortable stay. you could tell our host Olivia took pride in creating a warm and comfy atmosphere. My only problem was not being able to stay longer and enjoy it more. would have loved to have fired up the grill and sat by the fire pit in the back yard. my family absolutely loved everything. I would highly recommend to all thanks to olivia

Our stay here was so much fun! Swimming, fishing, kayaking, there was so much to do and the water was awesome! It was the perfect place to stay to have your peaceful vacation being in a great neighborhood but it was still located close enough to places where you could go if you’re looking to get great food, or go into a nice town with other things to do. Ryan was such a great host he had so many great recommendations on what to do, and where to go nearby for everything! He really cared about your stay here and it showed, he went out of his way to make sure you felt comfortable and had fun during your vacation! He was so responsive and was there if you needed anything. We would recommend this place to stay to anybody, and would love to come back. It’s the perfect place to bring your kids and your dog and they provide so much to make sure you have fun while staying here!

Stayed for two nights to hike Katahdin with my mom to finish her thru-hike and this did the trick as a home base. Place matched the description and had everything we needed. Primary bedroom mattress sagged some in the middle - probably fine for one person, but it was noticeable with two people in bed.

Beautiful location, right on the water. Enjoyed the firepit in the back yard. Master bedroom has beautiful views.
