House holiday rentals in Penobscot River

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.

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.

What a wonderful experience! Rebecca was an absolutely outstanding host, always quick to respond and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. My family and I had such a peaceful stay. The home and location were incredibly tranquil, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The house and property were absolutely beautiful, and we loved sipping our morning coffee on the amazing balconies with the breathtaking views. There is so much space, and every room in the house is well thought out, functional, and cozy. The pool is even better than we hoped, so big and clean and in immaculate condition. We spent most of our time swimming and relaxing by the pool. We also enjoyed playing pool and having so many rooms to gather in with the comfort of plenty of new comfy furniture. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind for a vacation away from all the noise and chaos of daily life. Every single area was as described in the listing and better. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

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

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!

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!

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!

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!

The house was clean and organized, comfortable!! Centralized for all areas of things to do!! Close to casino!! Very nice place !!

My plans for my trip ended up canceled last minute but I was not complaining because I ended up just sitting outside all day on the water enjoying the beautiful scenery! The house was very nice and prepared with many recommendations for things to do and places to try food from which came in handy to help fill my free time

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!

We really enjoyed our anniversary cabin! Such a beautiful view from the sun porch area seeing the river. Loved everything about the place and hope to come back for our next anniversary 😁 The hosts were great! They came and helped us with everything to know about the cabin. Gave us a basket of grapes, chocolate covered strawberries and lilac jelly. Loved the size of the place, perfect for us. Highly recommend the cabin and the hosts! 10/10!

Kings cottage was the perfect place to unplug and recharge! It was so peaceful and quiet!! The sunsets were unreal and the wild life was awesome to see!! Befriended a few loons and bald eagles!!! 10/10 would recommend!!! I would absolutely revisit!!!! Ryan and his family were attentive hosts, very polite and thoughtful!!! Made this vacation such a breeze!! Cannot thank them enough!!! -this place is a hidden gem!!!-

We had a fantastic two-night stay at this beautiful home on Springy Pond! The house was spacious, clean, and perfect for a getaway with friends and family. We especially loved the peaceful surroundings and direct access to the lake, kayaking early in the morning and watching the sunrise over the water was absolutely magical. The kitchen was great, making it easy for us to cook and enjoy meals together. It was also a great base for visiting Acadia National Park, which we were able to explore during the day before coming back to relax by the lake in the evening. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quiet, scenic retreat with easy access to outdoor activities. We hope to come back someday!

Exactly as listed, well-stocked with kitchen, bathroom, and bedding essentials provided.

This house was amazing—hosts really have thought of everything when it comes to guest experience! Kayaking out to the tiny islands in the bay a couple times allowed us to see horseshoe crabs and bald eagles up close. The fire pit was great and the “s’mores station” with supplies in the kitchen upon arrival was so cute and thoughtful. Our three kids loved this place and didn’t want to leave at the end of the week. Our boys especially loved the lower level game room with ping-pong, arcade games, and pop-a-shot. The kids also loved reading on the sofa in the upstairs loft overlooking the kitchen. The kitchen is well stocked and we cooked dinner there a couple times during the week. The hosts gave great local recommendations as well—the craft beer at Fogtown Brewing in Ellsworth (less than 15-min. drive) is excellent, and it is very kid-friendly with a large outdoor eating area and wood-fired pizza. We’d love to return to this house! Mosquitoes are fierce so bring bug repellent.

Abigail’s place is perfect. Cozy, serene, and beautiful. You feel immediately at home when you walk in, the view from the windows is incredible. We enjoyed sitting out on the covered porch, looking out at the water, and watching for wildlife. The rooms were pristine and the pillows were beyond comfy. The addition across the kitchen was the ultimate place to lounge and relax - kid friendly too with day beds. We had a great experience and I can’t recommend this place enough. Our host left a couple of personalized touches which made the trip feel that much more special. Thank you Abigail for a great experience!

What a dream it was to stay in this beautiful, dog-friendly spot! Being able to let my pups run, play, and explore the woods was such a gift. The loft, with its high ceilings, was warm and inviting, and the bed was so comfortable I didn’t want to get up! Tony was a kind and welcoming host—I’m already looking forward to my next stay.

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!

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

Everything was perfect — from the beautiful views to every detail inside, we could not be more happy with our stay! We loved watching the sunset from the fire pit and listening to the wildlife sounds after a fun day in Acadia. Thank you for such an incredible place to stay! We look forward to coming back!

Stayed here on our family trip to Acadia NP. Place was hidden gem in a quiet neighborhood right off US1. Clean and everything was fully functional. Very well maintained and clear instructions. Christian was very polite and helpful along the way.

We spent a night here on our way north, and were extremely pleased! everything was exactly as we expected, and was very comfortable. would definitely stay here again!

My husband and I spent our babymoon at Jennifer’s place, and waking up to the stunning lake view each day was just what I needed to unwind. I asked Jennifer if there was cooking oil available, and her mom kindly brought us a bottle of olive oil before our arrival—such a thoughtful gesture! We will definitely stay here again if we're ever in the area.
