Family-friendly vacation rentals in Kennebec River

Lori’s is exactly what we need while visiting family over a holiday. She is very gracious to host us over Thanksgiving as the last occupants of the year. Even during a snow storm, her place is cosy and beautiful. This is our second year coming, and we love it every time. We would recommend it for those looking for a charming getaway from busy life. Thanks Lori!

We really enjoyed our stay at Woolwich. There is a peaceful nature vibe to the house and a beautiful view and location. The Bald Eagles live in a tree right on the edge of the backyard and were visible numerous times during our stay. The location to various towns and locations in Maine is convenient.

We had the most amazing stay at Madawaska! Amazing views from the bedroom and hot tub in a beautiful, peaceful, and private location overlooking the water. And such a wonderful design of the cabin. We will definitely be back!

We love staying at the Brownie. It’s a great home for any active family that appreciates a quiet surrounding. Great home and so close to SR. It can’t be beat.

Just returned from the most fantastic 2 weeks exploring the US which included a weeks stay at Kiwi Lodge. Where to start? This was exactly as described and the perfect base for exploring Maine. The property was spotless and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. 3 beautiful bedrooms, 2 great sized bathrooms, wonderful living area and kitchen and fantastic games room. Hot tub was brilliant. The location on the lake is just perfect, we had the lake to ourselves and took the canoe out. Nearest town of Farmington has all the shops and cafes you’d need. The communication from Kay was great from the day we booked, and recommendations we took her up on were all absolutely spot on. Thank you Kay and thank you Kiwi Lodge for a holiday to remember!

I was happy to return to stay at Deb's, this time around in the studio loft. It was very spacious and comfortable and included anything that you might want or need. It was a perfect spot for me to rest while watching ski races at Black Mountain for the weekend. Thanks for being a wonderful host once again, Deb!

Great place. The bed was really comfortable. Hot tub was nice and private and relaxing.

We enjoyed this stay very much. It was very conveniently located close to Sunday River, which made our skiing plans easy to execute. The hot tub was definitely a plus and the house easily accommodated our multiple adults, kids, and even a couple dogs.

Cozy and comfortable place to stay while exploring the area. Close to most anything you’d want to do in Southern Maine.

I loved this place! Enjoying coffee and meals outside on the deck overlooking the lake and beautiful surroundings of nature. I felt safe there and was a charming neighborhood. I loved that there were boats to use and a dock to watch sunset an autumn harvest moon over lake! Jess was the perfect host and made sure everything was great when I arrived. She was very helpful when I had any questions and I am looking so forward to going back there again! Thank you Jess for sharing this wonderful place!!!

Great location for our parents weekend at our daughter's school close by. Our stay was perfect. We wanted for nothing. Host was friendly and communicated well. The property was well maintained, quiet, and private. We definitely want to stay again soon. Very thankful for Barry for sharing and trusting us with his beautiful property.

We absolutely loved our stay! We rented the house for 7 adults and 1 dog to celebrate a 31st bday! We loved being able to walk right down to the tasting room for a beer, cook a big dinner in the kitchen, play games, and watch the amazing vcr collection. Everything was clean and comfortable. So glad it’s a dog friendly space!

Had a great weekend in Popham Beach with extended family. Despite not the best weather for April (didn't expect the snow), was a big success. House was warm and inviting, plenty of items in the kitchen to cook and serve, and lots of games, pool table, etc. to keep us busy. Hot tip - may not always be available but pop up Sauna at nearby restaurant was a big hit - with interspersed dashes to the ocean and back. google spinney's restaurant mobile sauna. Location, just steps from the beach is incredible, and house is nestled in the woods with lots of privacy. If you're lucky enough to be here when you can enjoy the pristine beach you will be in heaven! Thanks for a terrific weekend.

Great retreat to feel relaxed and inspired. The location suits our needs for comfort and accessibility to surrounding disc golf courses and is great for travelers looking to escape screens, and the stress of cluttered and busy lifestyles. It feels like home as soon as you arrive .

I have stayed at Anne’s place many times. Anne and her husband are always very nice and friendly. The apartment is spotless, comfortable and you can’t beat the location, just up the hill from charming Falmouth Town Landing and beach and an easy drive to downtown Portland.

The moment we walked into this amazing home we felt so welcome. Phil and Jill left a nice bottle of wine and tray of baked delicious cookies. The home had great amenities including the indoor basketball hoop which was a great hit with our grand kids. This home was a lovely representation of family. Phil was so gracious he came twice to snowblow out the driveway and we had a chance to chat confirming that he is a wonderful host . We look forward to spending next year at this great vacation destination. A million thank you’s

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.

Jonathan and Lisa were wonderful hosts! We stayed 3 nights to enjoy some Spring skiing at Saddleback. The home was close to town and a quick drive to Saddleback mountain. The house is perched high on a hill overlooking Rangeley lake. The downside is that the driveway is steep and icy (this time of year due to the recent March thaws) but the view and sunsets are breathtaking!! For an additional fee, you can enjoy their newly built sauna and whirlpool. So relaxing after a day of skiing that we booked it twice. The house has all the comforts of home. Being culinary masters, we had a bit of a struggle in the small kitchen. But certainly most everything you need to prepare great meals. Communication with the hosts was excellent and timely.

Our stay at the beach house was great! You couldn't be closer to the water! So much fun kayaking, floating and swimming in the lake! House is much better than the pictures do it justice. For a 2 bedroom house its very big and spacious, beds were extremely comfortable. The no wifi was a little bit of a downer but there were plenty of board games to play. There is some street noise but not bad at all. Would most definitely recommend if you are looking for waterfront property. The access to the resort pool was a plus too for the kiddos!

Great home for our large family gathering. Great location near Sunday River skiing, Downtown and snowmobile trails right outside the door. We had a great time and will be back.

Great spot, would rent again!

The condo was very nice and comfortable. The host was responsive and provided good instructions ahead of time. The location is great, just a short slide to the condo lift. It is true ski in ski out, and provides a great Sugarloaf experience!

Great place to stay for a family of 4. Very close to Snubber for skiing and hiking. Hope to stay again. Thank you!
