Vacation rentals with a kayak in Cumberland

Stayed at Bethany's place for a long weekend at the end of the season. The location is unbeatable, the house is situated on its own little peninsula in a stunning cove; it feels very private and has amazing views of the water. There's tons of outdoor space and seating, along with several kayaks. The house itself is clean, quiet, and peaceful, although it's definitely small--probably best for one or two people, or a couple with a small child. Access is down an unpaved road but Bethany's very clear instructions made it easy to find, and she was responsive to any questions we had. Harpswell abounds with areas to hike and explore, lots of good places to eat (though you will definitely need a car) and is less than an hour from Portland and only half an hour from Freeport.

Violeta and her space were amazing. The house was exactly as advertised and we felt right at home for our long weekend. We are looking forward to making this a yearly visit!

We had a great week at the cabin! The view is amazing and it was so relaxing. Courtney was very responsive and attentive. Highly recommend for a cozy getaway in a beautiful setting.

GREAT FIND!! Don & Nina were fantastic hosts! We LOVED the location. We were welcomed with fresh flowers in a vase on the dining table, and we enjoyed our meals together there as well. We greatly appreciate how CLEAN the entire place was. The setup of their place was just perfect for us and our parents! We love to coo k, and the kitchen is well-appointed! The beds and pillows were very comfortable giving us a good night's sleep each night. The full-sized bedroom has a mini split which adds to the warmth or cool (whichever is needed). The master bedroom with a queen bed is large and comfortable. Our parents loved the two rocking chairs, and we enjoyed the comfy couch and chair. Even though we didn't have the greatest weather during our stay, we were able to get out on a kayak and enjoy the lake. The house is nestled in a very quiet cove on the lake and, because there is no public access to the lake, the entire lake is a fantastic find! This will be an annual stay for us now!

What a wonderful house! It would be a perfect family vacation spot to spend quality time together, fishing, kayaking, making s'mores, playing board games, or relaxing with some reading or television.

We had a great stay at Julie’s beautiful home. Her home was even nicer than the pictures. Great kitchen with everything you could possibly need. Open layout so we can all converse no matter what we were doing. Beds were comfortable. But the outside stole the show. The upper deck was spacious and had great views. The hot tub was just what we needed. Then you walk down to the dock and there is enough space for everyone to lay out. Lots of kayaks and paddle boat. Had fun exploring and fishing the lake. Perfect home for families to come together and catch up!! Oh, and the lower level was perfect with ping pong, foosball and tv for late night fun!! Would recommend to anyone wanting to be in the lake region of NH.

This has been by far the nicest place we have stayed. Super clean and nicely decorated. Wonderful communication by the hosts. Perfect weekend getaway.

Beautiful place in great location. Did a weekend trip that included Portland based activities and a lake day at Lake Sebago. This was right in between making both super easy! The house was beautiful, clean, and slept everyone very comfortably. The view on the water is amazing, and Timissa was very responsive, accommodating, and kind!

Beautiful spot on the water with great fishing, was a bunch of games inside for the kids which was a huge bonus enjoyed the stay.

The cottage was lovely with a fantastic view of the lake. The space was well-appointed and cozy. Lots of greats hikes. Conway has a lot of charm. Highly recommended!

A Perfect Waterfront Escape – 5 Stars My wife and I had an unforgettable stay at RK North Waterfront Cottage. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by breathtaking views, fresh coastal air, and a sense of peaceful seclusion that made this trip truly special. The cottage itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and tastefully decorated with cozy touches that made it feel like a true home away from home. We especially loved the spacious deck overlooking the water — perfect for morning coffee or evening wine while watching the sunset. The hosts were thoughtful and responsive, ensuring we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. Whether it was relaxing by the fire pit, walking along the shore, or just enjoying the tranquility of the surroundings, every moment felt effortless and restorative. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with charm, comfort, and stunning waterfront views, this is the place. We’re already planning our next visit. — Eric & Juliet DiNoto

Tiny but beautiful cottage with walls of windows in the living room and bedroom overlooking the salt marsh. It was like staying on a boat! Great kitchen, comfortable bed and cozy fireplace. Beautiful in the winter.

Janet’s place in Standish was great and we could not have asked for a better host. Apart from the home itself, Janet was very friendly and responsive. She even proactively offered early check in / late check out, extremely unexpected and appreciated! Would absolutely recommend this BNB 10 times out of 10.

I had a wonderful 4 night stay at the lake house and couldn't have asked for a better place to spend the little getaway. It is beautifully located on the lake and has this huge window in the living room from which you have an amazing view. The house has everything you need, even washing machine and dryer in the basement. I would 100% recommend this unique place! Christine has been super helpful throughout my stay.

Lovely cottage and hosts! We had a great time hiking and being outside, and Joe and Shirley gave great local recommendations.

Helen was actually wonderful. She returned calls and everything. It was a great place to stay beautiful and hope to stay there again someday.

We had the absolute best time at MJ’s place, highly recommend !! The house is spatious yet very cozy and quiet, with a nice back porch to sit and enjoy the surrounding woods! Home is also very close to town and to Poryland/coastline, and the cleanest lake to swim in that we’ve ever been to! MJ was very helpful and quick to respond. Stay here! We hope to return sometime soon!!

Me and my friends we were group of five. We enjoyed our stay at their place. It was amazing view by the lake side. The hot tub and kayaking experience was totally awesome. We will never forget our trip to Hampshire because of this beautiful house.

Beautiful place. Lovely decorated. I would say that it is probably a little expensive for staying there in the winter/ fall time. Only one of us could sit on the couch at a time due to its location by the tv. The shower is really small and there is no room for toiletries in the bathroom at all. There is a rack but I had to keep all my bathroom stuff in bags the entire time because it is just lacking in space. I would think The price is worth it if you’re staying there in the summer and get to use the lake.

Wonderful Stay in a Great Location! Zak and Emily’s house was exactly as described. It has a fully equipped kitchen, a grill, and a fire pit outside, making it perfect for relaxing evenings. The house is stocked with towels and other essentials, so we had everything we needed. There’s also a ping pong table, which was a lot of fun, and a great collection of movies for entertainment. Check-in was super easy, and the house is conveniently located across from Crystal Lake, offering a peaceful and scenic setting. Communication with Zak and Emily was excellent—they responded quickly and were very accommodating. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend staying here for a peaceful getaway. Thanks again, Zak and Emily!

such a peaceful, charming place. total privacy and very clean, would definitely stay again

If I could give 10 stars, I would. First time a place was even better than the photos. Private. Clean. So quiet. Comfortable. Everything we wanted plus ! Felt like we were millions of miles away and a short drive to all attractions. The kayaks, canoe, fire pit and hot tub were used and enjoyed. 3 nights - could’ve stayed way longer ! Don’t hesitate if you’re looking to relax, unwind and enjoy nature. Hands down our new favorite spot and can’t wait to go back ! John and Cassie were very responsive and excellent hosts !

Perfect for our little girls trip!! We were able to enjoy the hiking and peacefulness of a remote location but also took a day trip to Portland. Would definitely recommend!

We had a great time! We would love to visit again.
