Cottage vacation rentals in Friendship

The most beautiful place, exceeding all expectations. The views are spectacular. We breathed in peace and tranquility. A fabulous place to celebrate my 80th birthday with the whole family -- 16 of us. Everyone was comfortable in the space. In addition to being the perfect host, Samantha provided surprise extras which was such fun! Just a few of the highlights: S'mores at the firepit, lobster dinners, seals, bald eagles and fireworks. She made our stay truly memorable. My family gives the place the highest recommendation.

This house has a beautiful view of the lake!! The complementary water activity’s are worth booking!! We enjoyed our stay and will come back!! Make sure to walk out on the dock at night and look at the stars!!

Was a great place for a weekend get together with our family. Right on the water and a great throwback feel but with all the amenities.

It’s a lovely cabin, the hot tub is a plus. It’s also fairly private since it’s last cabin of the property.

We had a great two nights here and enjoyed the hot soak and the sauna. It was near many amenities and also felt very removed. Matt’s was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our stay was perfect and the escape we hoped it would be.

Adorable cottage, newly renovated. Perfect for two with an open space loft for one more. Kitchen is well stocked right down to the coffee. A good location if visiting Fort Knox, Mt. Barrie and not too far from Bar Harbor if that is on your list. Great stay, highly recommend. Beautiful view and private.

We had a very relaxing vacation. Verona Island is convenient for day trips to a number of attractions like Acadia, Camden and even Monhegan Island. Even when the weather was bad there was plenty of table space for puzzling, Bananagrams and Scrabble. The house was comfortable with views of the Penobscot River.

We’ve stayed in a lot of Airbnbs across the country and I’m not exaggerating when I say that Lydia’s place was one of the cleanest and most well-maintained homes that we’ve been in. The property and scenery are breathtaking. The numbers of birds and chipmunks that entertained us while we sat on the back deck was surprising. We ate all of our meals with the exception of lunches at the cabin and had everything we needed to prep and cook our food. This trip was all about relaxing and Lydia’s home was everything we needed.

The location was perfect for our trip. The house it self was extremely clean and lots of space for us to hang out and also have our space. Close to Acadia which we visited Saturday and the house was a great distance to enjoy the day without staying in town! The amenities were in great condition and everything in the listing was there. I would definitely stay again.

This was great cozy, cottage. We we were pleasantly surprised! The inside was very nicely decorated and was definitely enough space for my husband and I, and our two dogs. It was so nice to relax enjoy a sunset and make a fire in the fire pit after a long day. We were greeted by the welcome committee (black cat) numerous times. The cottage had everything we needed. My dog really enjoyed swimming in the lake. Thanks so much and we would definitely consider staying here again

We had a great stay! The house is very nice with a view of the bay and the screened in porch was an great place to be outside but away from the bugs. The surroundings are peaceful and quiet and the house had everything we needed with appropriate notes in all the right places.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Michelle’s place. Great communication about check-in and how to find her place. The guest house was so cute. Beautiful views and just steps to the beach. Tons of amenities from coffee to shower needs to beach chairs. Would highly recommend!!

We felt right at home at LInda's place. It is beautifully furnished and decorated and there is plenty of space. Everything was spotless. Having a washer and dryer really made a difference. The cottage is close to a busy road so there was some road noise outside, but in the cottage it was quiet and peaceful. Linda is very friendly and helpful and had put out welcome muffins for us, which was such a nice touch. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful setting and peaceful. Great place to rest and relax. Easy access to town and restaurants. Will definitely return!

Tucked in the woods of Orrington, Maine, this lakeside retreat offers a rare kind of stillness. Facing south on the water’s edge, it provides serene views of both sunrise and sunset that frame each day in quiet beauty. Wildlife is abundant, loons echo across the lake and deer move gently through the trees, yet the home is only a short drive from Bangor’s restaurants, trails, and conveniences. We initially booked for three nights but quickly extended to four. This place invites lingering. It’s easy to settle into the rhythm of the land, the lake, and the quiet. Inside, the home is curated with care including a lovely vinyl collection; late night jazz and morning classical set the perfect tone for slow coffee and reflection. The host was responsive and thoughtful throughout, making everything seamless. We will absolutely return and recommend this home to anyone seeking not just a place to stay, but a space to truly be.

Such an absolutely magical place to stay! My pup and I stayed for a month while I worked and played. Gorgeous views of the Beech Hill Pond and close enough to various towns for hiking, sightseeing and enjoying local food. Spent time on Deer Isle, MDI at Bar Harbour & Acadia, and even made the trek to Lubec. if you want to experience a wee bit of winter and early spring, mid to late March into April was the perfect time. We had a few inches of snow fall within the first few days of the trip. Don't hesitate to book this cottage!

I stayed at Liz and Alex’s stunning place at the beginning of September. This was either my 3rd or 4th time and I love being there. The quiet and the utter peacefulness of being literally on the banks of the estuarial river is amazing. Although I was only able to be there for 2 nights this time, I was recharged and ready to go back home when I left. On other visits I’ve taken advantage of being near the delightful town of Damariscotta, Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Hidden Valley Nature Preserve, Muscongus Bay Lobster dock, the Audubon preserve in Bremen, and so many others. On this visit I stayed put, letting the inward and outward flow of the river soothe me while I read and wrote. On this visit I also had a nice long chat with Liz, a remarkably talented woman. See her book and ask about her films when you go.

This is a quaint little cottage (actually a village of cottages). It was super clean, comfortable, well stocked, and not far from restaurants, Boothbay and nature trails. The host was quick to respond and super helpful. There are comfortable chairs outside and a fire-pit that is shared with the cabin next door (never saw them). Although there are 13 cabins it was a peaceful group. We used this as our home base to go E-biking with the Mysterious Harbor Tours and for the puffin/whale tour with Capt Fish. Both were AMAZING. Highly recommend.

Viktor’s place was exactly what I was looking for, quiet but still not too far from everything I wanted to do. He was very responsive and gave great instructions both for check in and check out. The place was immaculate and cozy, it made for a lovely vacation.

What an awesome airbnb! The views are stunning and surroundings couldn’t have been more peaceful. The cottage itself was exceptional and had everything I needed and more. Wish I could've stayed there longer! 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone!

Dianne’s place was a quintessential Maine cabin with all the right feels that worked great for our family (kids ages 9, 7, & 4). The walk to the private beach became part of our morning and evening daily routine. We loved climbing the rocks, exploring the shore, listening to the quiet, trying to spot wildlife, and wondering at the stars. The location was great, with plenty of family friendly activities- The Happy Clam restaurant was awesome for kids with a playground outside, Marshall Pt. Lighthouse to explore, Camden to walk around, Mt. Battie to hike, fresh water lake swimming at Barrett’s Cove, American Flatbread for dinner with outside kids games, Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse with a mile long jetty walk out, Owls Head Lighthouse to explore, Owls Head General Store for lunch outside (burger rated #1 in Maine - worth it) & Crescent Beach for ocean swimming. We had a beautiful time here- breathing in nature and experiencing the beauty of coastal Maine.

We absolutely loved our stay at Jesse & Mya’s lake house! From start to finish, communication was prompt, friendly, and thorough. The property itself is idyllic: the dock was perfect for our boys to cast their lines (and catch a few fish of their own!), and the water access right off the yard was exactly as advertised. Inside, the cabin was spotless and stocked with everything we needed. We appreciated the clear quiet-hours policy and found it wonderfully peaceful at night. Thank you, Jesse & Mya, for your warm hospitality and attention to detail. We’d happily stay here again and recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly lake getaway!

A really enjoyable stay at this nice house in a peaceful location. House had everything we needed and provided a great base from which to explore the Bristol (and wider) area - a good location for walking and coastal visits! Susan and Steve were very helpful, as was their welcome booklet detailing local attractions, walks, restaurants etc. Would definitely recommend.

We had a great stay at this cottage. it was cute, clean and well stocked. We felt as though we were staying in someone's home not a typical Airbnb. Stayed in 3 places in Maine, this was the most comfortable one.
