Island vacation rentals in Appalachian Mountains

The Beck's home is wonderful with gorgeous views from the wrap around deck. One feature of the house that we took full advantage of is the screened porch, a real plus in Maine. The kitchen is well equipped and included a filtered water tap and ice maker. Wifi was stable throughout our stay. It was an easy drive to Deer Isle Village, hiking trails, and Stonington. Island Agency was very responsive and helpful. A great stay overall. We hope to return next year.

My husband, toddler, dog, and I loved our stay here. The sunsets here were so beautiful! The cottage felt like home & all the antique decor added so much charm. Check in was easy & Alexandra provided a lot of information on what to do in Door County.

Thank you much. It was a great experience.

Our family had a wonderful time swimming, boating, fishing, hiking the trails, canoeing and sitting by the nightly campfire. Whenever we had needs, Michelle answered promptly and graciously. Lee was a huge help, as well. FANTASTIC hosts!!!!

Wow - we had an amazing experience on the Island. Ray is a great host, so helpful from the moment you book and all the way through our stay. He picks you up from the dock, and takes you to his beautiful little island with a great, clean and well kept cottage. The island is a special place, interesting to explore - great to swim, kayak, canoe, paddle board. The cottage is very clean, the kitchen has nearly everything you could want, bathrooms are pristine. Ray will take great care of you during your stay - we were so impressed. We will be back - thank you Ray!

Zeron’s island is a stunning property with everything you’d ever need for a relaxing vacation. We watched beautiful sunsets every night from the lookout point and from the boat. The house is loaded with every lawn game and the kayaks / paddle boards were a hit. We will definitely be back!

I travel a lot for work. I always look for peaceful places that feel safe and have beautiful surroundings (in the event that I get to enjoy them on a work trip). Mo was a clear and responsive host. Parking is so easy in this neighborhood. The space is even more spacious in person than I expected. Thanks, Mo!

What an experience. Everybody should try this at least once! Renting your own private island made us feel like we were in a very private in exclusive place yet extremely close to things such as the boat ramp, restaurants, and other sights. You do need a boat of some sort, but that’s all part of the fun and experience! The house was well equipped uncomfortable. Swimming around the island was epic. It was a short 15 minute ride to get to sites such as bolt castle. There was also a great little restaurant in Rockport.

This place is awesome. Cottage was clean and well equipped with anything you need. Even with some storms on shore we barely got 20 min of rain the whole stay. The sandbars in mitchels bay are unreal to spend the day at. Water was 83 degrees and Crystal clean! Fishing and kayaking are great. Short boat ride to go for dinner in town, or cook at home with the bbq or over the fire. Nick was excellent to communicate with and did everything to ensure we had a great time. We spoke several times over the phone to make the weekend go off without a hitch! We will definitely be back next year.

Really cool place! Very peaceful and quiet!

This is a magical little cabin in a beautiful part of Nova Scotia. Just a short paddle from the public wharf takes you to a rustic and well equipped small cabin. Decks on three sides allow you to rotate with the sunrise and sunset. There’s a neat roof water collection system that allows running water in the kitchen, which simplifies cooking and cleaning. Also, a nifty solar powered light set up, which gives plenty of light and ambiance at night. This would be an amazing place for a solo retreat or a couples getaway. We enjoyed every minute of our time here.

What a fantastic destination to visit ! Owners were absolutely amazing and accommodating, cottage was clean and one of the most beautiful spots we have visited ! We will definitely be going back !

Our stay at Benjamin’s private island cottage on Charleston Lake was fantastic! The island was stunning, and the provided water activities equipment was a great bonus. We loved exploring the lake, swimming, and enjoying cozy fires each night. Benjamin’s hospitality made our family getaway truly memorable. Highly recommend!

We're reluctant to post about how good this property is, we'd selfishly like to keep it a secret. The property is just beautiful, with everything you could ever need, and Graham was a fantastic host. The area is just breathtaking. We are avid boaters and had an amazing time exploring the 30,000 islands and all the beautiful beaches, hiking, fishing, and sightseeing they have to offer. If you aren't into boating, there are water taxis and plenty to do on the island, fire pits, games, a beautiful sun deck, relaxing hammocks, the list goes on. We would recommend this 100%, and we felt very lucky that Graham and his family shared it with us. We hope to return at least once next summer. Thank you to Graham, Tennille and Jane for a wonderful getaway.

We had never been to this area of Ontario before and always wanted to. Finding this location on the Bay met our requirements for cozy, rugged beautiful surroundings and some fishing. This location is a must visit if you are wanting a peaceful time away. Word of caution, if you are trying to get here on your own an electronic navigation device with charts is a must. I used my phone and the navionics app and we also had a good device on the boat so it was a breeze for us getting in and finding the island even with some misty rain on the way in. Sitting on the west side of the island looking down into west bay at the sunset with a drink was a highlight. Also catching a 20 pound pike was another highlight. Really appreciate this place meeting expectations. Plan on returning next fall for a similar adventure.

What an amazing place! Mrs. Otis's was just as described and pictured. We spent 2 nights and will gladly return for more especially when it's warmer (or snowier for xcountry skiing) and we can enjoy more of the outdoor amenities that White Pine Camp has to offer. We loved the rustic and historic location, buildings and furnishings. Check out the boat house, Tea House, Bowling Alley, and Tennis House for a glimpse into the Great Camp history of the ADKs. The gas "wood burning" stove in our cabin added nice ambiance. The staff member in the office easily helped us out with a personal request. We were told cell service depends on carrier, we were fine with Verizon, though once you get to WPC you will want to tune out the rest of the world and relax! On a hike around the property I saw a beaver swimming! Just perfect!

I absolutely loved this little home!! It made staying in obx just that much better! It was so close to everything yet private and peaceful! It was so clean and felt so homey!! My husband loved the speakers, as did I and it just took an already wonderful experience to the next level & don’t even get my started on their sweet little cat! I’m a cat lover and by the time I checked into their bnb I was missing my boys at home so much and she just brought that extra joy I didn’t know I needed. The hosts were so lovely and attentive and I would absolutely stay in the tree frog tower again!! I would also recommend it to anyone!

This was such a fun and unique experience. Loved everything about it. My husband and I came here as a birthday escape (his birthday is the day before mine) and enjoyed the relax time. We lead super busy lives with 3 kids so it was a nice change of pace to unplug and reconnect. Thanks for providing such a beautiful experience for people to enjoy. 10/10 would recommend.... worth every penny.

Our stay at Grants Island was just what we needed for a little family getaway! The weather complied, the lake and views from the dock were amazing. The use of the pontoon made for good fishing but even better fishing right off the dock! John was more than accommodating with our needs and communication was easy. The cabin fit 5 of us just fine and everyone enjoyed themselves. The local restaurant had great food and drinks!

Magical! The house and lawn are immaculate and delightful. The bedrooms are large and filled with light. The condition of this house is stunningly fine, and its age of more than 100 years makes it a thrilling place. We brought kayaks, and a kayak ride from the nearby town takes only 10 minutes. Having kayaks permits you to explore the many beautiful islands nearby. On the other hand, the little ferry service is wonderfully friendly and efficient, and they happily carried some of us and lots of luggage. We loved swimming around the island, either jumping off the dock or wading in from the little beach, and we took great pleasure from the outdoor shower! (Oh: there are also two indoor showers.) The kitchen is wonderful for cooking, as are the outdoor grills, and we did all of our dining outdoors, either on the beautiful porches or the surprisingly spacious lawn. In summation: Wow!

This was my second time staying at Florent’s island- it is a lovely, private, and pristine heaven. I recommend it to everyone I know. Perfect for a romantic getaway with quiet seclusion.

This place is magical! Adam was super helpful giving us advice on when to arrive and plan accordingly. We had a blast staying here for a week with our two kids. Everything we needed was there and the town was easily accessible by boat. Gas grill on the porch and fresh fish from town made easy dinners. The resident eagle family was fun to watch. Recommend bringing a charging block, water shoes, and a headlamp. Miss this place already! It is a true Maine summer experience.

We had an absolutely incredible stay at this off-grid island cabin in Maine! From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by nature's beauty and a sense of peace that only comes from being off the grid. The cabin itself was cozy and rustic. But what really made this trip unforgettable were the outdoor activities and the natural surroundings. Every morning, we woke up to the haunting calls of loons echoing across the water. Fishing was fantastic! We caught several trout right off the dock. Be sure to read up on local fishing regulations. Kayaking was also a highlight. The calm, pristine waters made it perfect for exploring the lake.
