Treehouse cabin in Acadia, 5 minute walk into town

CarlRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Fantastic location, great house, really friendly hosts. We had a great time, and would recommend to anyone. The only trouble was that the App itself sent us to the wrong location. To be fair, in the instructions it said "GPS doesn't work" (or something like that). We interpreted that to mean "there's no signal for GPS" - that wouldn't be a surprise for a location like Acadia. So we put the address in at the start of our drive from New Hampshire, and copied the map. My STRONG recommendation would be for the hosts to say "the App GPS will send you to the wrong location, do not use." That would avoid the confusion we had. The hosts, when we discussed with them, said "we've had hundreds of guests and no one has ever had a problem." So we felt like right idiots. But, it could have all been avoided by more information, and an explaination of *why* not to use the GPS. But: again, the location was great, and we had a blast exploring the island for 2 days. thanks!

Treehouse near Bar Harbor. Luxurious and private!

TraceyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Staying at the treehouse was such a unique experience! The treehouse actually has trees growing amongst the various decks and porches! There are so many windows with great views of the forest. I loved how cozy and clean it felt and we enjoyed all of the amenities (sauna, rain shower, hot tub bathtub). My kids enjoyed sleeping up in the loft. There are a lot of outdoor and screened in spaces that allowed us to spread out and relax. The gas fireplace is two sided and even heats one of the porches! I could see this being a nice place to stay in all seasons. Although the treehouse is not far (8 mins) from two substantial grocery stores, the site feels very private and peaceful. And MDI is so accessible as well. Thank you for sharing this memorable experience with us!

Renovated Bar Harbor Cottage just blocks from town

MindyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The location could not be beat. The only time we needed a car was to make the short drive into the park. It was so great to be able to walk to restaurants, grocery stores, the ocean, etc. The house was well stocked and comfortable. Margaret had a lot more amenities than I typically see in an Airbnb. Incredibly helpful since we flew in and didn’t have to waste money buying full-size products for a few days. Hand soap, dish, soap, washing machine soap, Various perks in the kitchen, such as sandwich bags, coffee filters, etc. It was a race each day to see who could get to the sunroom first. It was by far the favorite room in the house for the entire family. Exceptional visit. Margaret was incredibly responsive. Answered all of my questions at the time of booking, sent follow ups to see if I had additional questions, and sent a list with local recommendations. Incredibly helpful and responsive.

Your own private getaway on Pushaw Lake!

HandeRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Robert was an amazing host! Super kind and helpful from the beginning till the end. The house was just perfect,so cozy, peaceful, and full of thoughtful little touches. Everything was exactly as described (maybe even better!). We felt at home the moment we walked in and didn’t even notice how fast 10 days flew by. It will always be a special memory for us. If you’re looking for a quiet, heartwarming place to relax, this is the one. Thank you so much, Robert!

Lakefront Stargazing Haven w/Loons, 35 Min Acadia

HeatherRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had an amazing stay at Jason’s place despite a (mostly) rainy Memorial Day weekend! We still found plenty to do including inside the Airbnb, outside at the pond, and locally at all of the great restaurants/breweries/nature around. We also made it out to Acadia two of our days. I will say, the trip took longer than advertised (about an hour to get to the edge of the park), but was a pleasant enough ride. We also had our two dogs staying with us and we all felt right at home! Jason was a very responsive and helpful host as well - you can’t go wrong with this peaceful retreat on the pond!

Our stay at the Captain Bennis House was fantastic. This house is conveniently located between Winter Harbor and Bar Harbor which was ideal for our trip. Dave and Carol were so friendly and gracious. The Captain Bennis House is chocked full of charm and is absolutely beautiful and the view to Frenchman's Bay was stunning. We would certainly stay here again and would also recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. Carol and Andy

Hidden Treasure in Historic Downtown Bar Harbor

RichardRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We really enjoyed Sandy's Hidden Treasure apartment. The location is perfect for walking to shops, restaurants, and all of Bar Harbor, including the supermarket and shuttle bus stop. The location is excellent for getting in and out of town without being snarled in congested downtown traffic. The off-street parking is a huge advantage because parking in town is a nightmare. The apartment is comfortable, clean, and quiet. We slept well and were not bothered by noise from the street or bars. The heat worked well, and the hot water was plentiful. We enjoyed the feeling of coming home to our cozy, private retreat after days of hiking in Acadia. We offer a few notes, not complaints, to other travelers. This apartment is not well suited to large people. The bedroom is tight, the doorway to the kitchen and bath is very narrow, and the vanity area is no wider than the sink itself. The garden by the door attracted many bees, which was a concern because my wife is allergic to bee stings.

Mainely Green Lake Superior Recreational Retreat

KathrynRating, 5 stars9 months ago
This is a delightful place. Watching the sunrise and moonrise from the dock was beautiful. While it is a bit of a drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, coming back to the house to relax was a highlight. The girls did a few puzzles while the guys played pool. We sat on the dock to relax in the sun and listen to the water lapping on the shore. Thank you for letting us stay here.

We stayed at Norene's for a couple of days and we loved it there! the space was very cozy, felt like a home. It had all the amenities, the kitchen was particularly well stocked with coffee, sugar, creamers, etc. We had a bit of a trouble with the lock at the beginning but it was our fault and Norene was very helpful and very friendly helping us. The place was super well located and the area was very lively due to halloween. All in all, would recommend!

The Carriage House at Spruce Harbor

TimRating, 5 stars10 months ago
My husband and I, and our two pups had a fantastic time in the Carriage House for a week. Part of a breathtaking private/secret compound on the water…with the most incredible private tidal pool. The place is so authentic, which is what we love about staying in ME when we can escape. We were so blessed to find Margaret’s place last minute. Margaret’s mother, Sally, and her husband were in the main Kate’s house. So so sweet they were to us and our girls. A dog paradise. We are foodies. Plenty of good restaurants around - just a few minutes to the adorable village of Stonington. Around the corner is one of the best restaurants in the country - Aragosta. We can’t wait to return…hopefully, in the Fall. A trip we will always remember. Thank you, Margaret & Family.

Large private area, close to Rockland

RachelRating, 5 stars9 months ago
We found the home clean and welcoming. There was plenty of room for all of us and we enjoyed the back deck very much. The kitchen was well equipped and although we did not do any cooking, if we had, everything was there for us. We really liked how private the home was. Had the weather been warmer we definitely would have checked out the pool. It is also very close to Thomaston, Rockland and Owls Head. So much to do in this area. We would recommend this home to anyone who wants a quiet retreat in Maine that is close to the coast.
A tranquil outdoor area is pictured, featuring a large infinity pool that seamlessly meets the horizon of the bay. Comfortable seating surrounds a stone fire pit, complemented by lush green landscaping and distant views of trees and water.
