Deer Isle vacation rentals

Dan's cottage provided everything that the three of us needed for our weekend stay. We enjoyed a walk on the nearby beach, and were able to explore the city of Belfast, which is charming and artsy. If we'd had more time we would have checked out more restaurants, galleries, and shops. There was a great food co-op in town where we picked up meals and snacks for cozy dinners and board games at the cottage. The beds were comfy, the place was clean, and it was about a one hour drive to Acadia National Park where we spent most of our time while we were in Maine.

This was our second time staying here, and it already feels like "ours" - and we love how it feels that way for so many others! Just take a look in the guest book and it is clear that this place is special for many. The cabin was just how we remembered it and just what we needed: cozy, peaceful, charming. The hosts put so much extra thought and personal touches, like the local and homemade goods left in the fridge. We love it here.

We have stayed at this location before and loved it. The second time was just as amazing. Such a cute relaxing cottage with everything you need. The home was a great place to unwind and relax. The special touches and cleanliness is top notch. Highly recommend this place. We will be back again for sure !!

Being at Carole's place was a total pleasure. If I could, I'd spend a lot of time living on a boat, and this was about as close as possible to that experience, only much more comfortable. I loved being able to see all that was going on in the bay - a lobster boat with a happy dog aboard, a kayak - but mostly birds, including a few visits from a couple of Bald Eagles. For anyone who enjoys nature and privacy, this place is heaven.

Kurt and Jackiee were incredibly helpful and friendly. We loved staying at their cozy little cottage that had great views of the nearby lake! Would recommend to others looking to stay in a more secluded area that is still a good distance from Acadia National Park.

A very cozy and well equipped cottage. Enjoyed the peace and quiet after a long day. Great place to stay for visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

Great cottage to stay in!

Maureen and Rob offer such a beautiful, cozy cottage! We were traveling for Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, and while this cottage was a drive from there, it was exactly what we wanted- private, quiet, beautiful views, and the drive to Bar Harbor was great and beautiful too! Maureen greeted us at our arrival, even though it was later, and provided us with a paper map of the surrounding areas and the best recommendations and routes to travel. We felt like we were with family and knew if we needed anything we had it! We enjoyed the firepit in the back and even seeing a sliver of the Milky Way from the dock at night! Right before we left, Maureen thanked us for our stay with some homemade banana bread. It truly doesn’t get better than that! We can’t wait to return!

Great house and good location, it was warm during our stay. Enough space for our company. Not far away from the city. Overall it was nice staying there.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The views were lovely, the lake was refreshing, the beds were comfortable, lots of kitchen stuff, and the showers were hot. The house mostly has what you need. It could use a few more dish towels and bath towels. The long drive to Acadia got tiresome.

Pine panelled cabin in the woods above the bay with clear view of the water and access to the dock via a path. Very peaceful and quiet. We saw a seal swimming; many birds and great dark sky for star watching. We went at a cool time of year and there was abundant rain so we could not make use of the screened porch which in the summer I imagine would be very relaxing. The cabin had all the needed amenities and then some. Minor issue was managed speedily by the host. It is the perfect place for kayaking but alas that was not possible because the Activity Shop was closed for the season.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! It was the perfect spot for a comfortable and relaxing family getaway. The house is thoughtfully designed with cozy, stylish touches and had everything we needed — from a well-stocked kitchen to comfy beds and plenty of space to spread out. It was sparkling clean and clearly well taken care of. The neighborhood is peaceful and charming. It felt like a true home away from home, and we appreciated how family-friendly it was — even our kids felt instantly at ease. We made so many great memories here. It’s the kind of place that invites you to relax, connect, and enjoy the little moments. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a warm, welcoming space to stay. We’d love to come back!

What a cozy, beautifully furnished and decorated space. A lot of thought went into making guests feel they’re staying somewhere very special. We certainly did. The second floor apartment with its spacious deck had a view of the ocean and some spectacular sunrises. This was our first visit to Maine and we wanted somewhere central on the coast, like Owl’s Head. It was a good base to explore from. And there was lots to do close by. We were especially pleased to discover the Bernard Langlais art preserve only a few miles away. Rockland is ten minutes away and has a lot of great places to eat.

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.

The house and views are excellent, you can sit on the back deck or outside area and just gaze out at the view, see Bald Eagles fly over every day, even saw one grab a fish from the water. Very clean and well appointed with the essentials like detergents for laundry and dishwasher, garbage bags, slat, pepper and other cooking basics, foil and cling wrap, beach chairs. Overall I can say it is a very nice house, very clean. The location is 20 - 25 minutes from Bar Harbor and maybe 20 min to Acadia. We didn't mind this at all. We ate lobster at 5 different places, if you want the absolute best Lobster rolls go to the Travilin Lobster, there is one in Trenton and one in Bar Harbor, by far the best lobster roll. Oh, and probably as important as the house being very clean, the beds were very comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay! The location is perfect—very close to Acadia, making it easy to explore the park. The house was extremely clean, well-maintained, and had comfortable beds with great sheets. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The only thing to note for families with young children is that there are stairs and space heaters, which might require some extra supervision. Overall, a fantastic place to stay, and we would definitely return!
