Guesthouse vacation rentals in Kennebec River

Beautifully rustic, quiet and charming! We booked Penny’s place because we were looking for a rustic stay. The weather in September was ideal for this indoor/outdoor space. Fully stocked kitchen, and loads of space for dining and relaxing. We lucked out and didn’t have anyone else staying on property while we were, and I will say it’s a bit of a fishbowl, so if you’re looking for privacy, it’s not here. We had a superb time!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay which wished we could have been here longer. At first we thought the location was a bit off the beaten track but once there were blown away but the peace and quiet and beauty of the location in the middle of the woods. Both Slim and Alexa were very friendly and very helpful with tips etc. Internet connection was great too and well equipped studio. Thank you

Dee was super responsive and very proactive with messaging. the house was very nice and we were able to walk to local restaurants.

My family stayed for a few weeks and felt right at home. Mary and Frank were very helpful, responsive, and welcoming. It was lovely being so close to Camden, and just down the road from the Mount Battie Carriage Trail.

I absolutely loved this place! Very easy to find, great location on the lake and very peaceful! Leon has boats, kayaks and canoes to rent, firewood to purchase on site and was so helpful with everything. The home has everything I needed for my week stay, and was grateful to be able to bring my dog. I will definitely be returning to this little piece of heaven!!

Second time booking this charming cottage. Nothing beats the dock access and it is pretty well located with lots to do and eat within 30 mins in any direction. The surroundings are so peaceful and beautiful--we can't wait to return.

The place was extremely clean and very roomy. Plenty of places to hang, and it also afforded privacy for multiple couples. Rebecca was so friendly and very responsive to all of my questions. Would definitely stay here again!

What an awesome place to stay! Lori was incredibly gracious and accommodating with out late arrival. The cabin towards the back of the property was so cozy. Fantastic stay and would definitely recommend!

A comfy and cozy place, 2 blocks to downtown Belfast. Very nice amenities.

Hands down one of the best places I have ever been. Linda and Jay were so warm and welcoming. Homemade cookies, breakfast items, tea, coffee and snacks. Everything we could ever need. The home is beautifully decorated and immaculate! Linda and Jay were very proactive and thoughtful! They even left information books about the area, gave us some recommendations and answered all our questions. I wish we could have stayed longer! It was truly magical!

Great little airbnb on the island. Private and easy to get to! Everything was clean and had the basic necessities. Would definitely visit again!

My favorite Airbnb stay so far. My family and I travel frequently. I am originally from Maine and we came back for spring break. Linar’s home was exceptional. Everything you needed was available, from cooking to bathroom necessities. It snowed for a day on our stay making for incredible views of the mountains and pine trees. The apartment feels just like a cabin experience, and you can see and feel the love that went into it. I can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay! The couch bed was comfortable and easy to maneuver. The bed was even better!! Will be a family destination from now on!

We loved this little “apartment.” It was just the experience we were looking for during our trip to Maine.

Thanks to David and his family for hosting us , it's a great place very clean and well put together everything was to our comfort, and meeting David and have a great conversation was the icing and the cake .Will definitely recommend it

This Airbnb was amazing in every way! We especially enjoyed the views of the mountains, the decor, how clean it was, the trees decorated with lights outside, and all the personal touches. It was inviting, comfortable, and had everything we could think of including sleds! (There was a privacy screen to put between the beds which was an added bonus). The Moody Mt. Cottage was the perfect location for a cozy winter getaway to hike and relax. We highly recommend staying here. You won’t be disappointed. Cait was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was special. We are so grateful!

This place is absolutely beautiful! There are so many beautiful little details that we loved about the place. It’s a work of art and felt so cozy. It was clean, warm, comfortable and felt like a home right away. The surrounding area is beautiful and it’s close to so many outdoor adventures. We stayed in the winter and the electric stove was so nice and warm! Would highly recommend staying here!

A million dollar view from the bed /living room! This was the perfect, quiet escape for a couple like us with demanding jobs. We watched the lobster boats with the provided binoculars, enjoyed a cozy fire with second-to-none sunsets and star gazing every night ! This place does have a lot of stairs to get down to the boathouse but SO worth it ! It is a bit of a trek on hilly dirt roads from town but the closest grocery stores and downtown Bath are within a 20 minute drive. Lexie was super responsive and accommodating and she gave us great recommendations for our vacation..Fred is super cool, has his own tree business and works on boats and wood working in his spare time. super nice couple !

What a lovely stay at Claire's Harasseeket Loft! It was quiet, warm and comfortable. I only stayed two nights but packed a lot in within those days as everything is a short distance away. Loved the shopping, eating, and meandering throughout Wolfe's Neck Wood State Park. Definitely do not miss that. But Claire's loft is in a beautiful location and well worth the stay. I would love to come back!

Our stay was amazing. The Appleton Retreat was peaceful and a great place to recharge. We enjoyed the trail walk to the pond with the host’s dogs as our tour guides! We also enjoyed some of their local recommendations for eating and drinking. This cabin in the woods getaway went above and beyond our expectations. The hot tub was a huge plus. We would recommend The Appleton Retreat as we enjoyed every aspect of our stay.

At the Sparrow's nest, we nestled in immediately. This was by far the most beautiful and magical stay -EVER. The pictures are amazing but the space is even better in person. Every inch of this gorgeous place was gracefully designed and decorated. The beds were like sleeping upon a cloud in luxury sheets. The hosts were so friendly and fun to talk to. We found many things in common. They provided us with names of great local restaurants and things to see and do. I am already planning to go back again next year and probably the year after that!

If this property is available for your dates, grab it. Everything was perfect, and exactly as advertised. Starting with Julia, she was pro active and great with communication. Directions to find property and get it were easy to follow. The house itself was immaculate and just the right size for the 3 of us. All the beds were very comfortable, and the location is perfect for exploring Freeport. Definitely recommend and would stay again if we're ever back to this area.

Our stay at this Airbnb was truly exceptional. Joan and Andy are incredibly welcoming hosts who go above and beyond to make their guests feel at home. The property itself exceeded our expectations in every way—beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. We were more than satisfied with our experience and are already planning to make this our go-to spot for future trips. We genuinely can’t wait to come back. Rest assured, you'll be in great hands and can look forward to a relaxing and enjoyable stay. If I could give them more than five stars, I absolutely would.

The Windhaven Guesthouse is a beautifully and thoughtfully decorated gem of a place, tucked in among the trees between two sections of stunning rocky beach and shoreline. The guesthouse isn't directly on the water but you can see the ocean through the trees and hear it night, and you have immediate access to private natural beaches to enjoy at your leisure. We explored several of Vinalhaven's Land Trust nature trails and sanctuaries, but enjoyed watching the tide come and go on the stretches of beach directly around the guesthouse very much as well. The gardens on the property are lovely as well. Just beautiful.

Beautiful property, peaceful, lovely charm and lake side decor!! Your booklet was awesome. We didn’t need to utilize all of your offered household necessities but well thought out and planned. Awesome to have LOTS of extra towels, the shower curtain slightly a PIA as it leaks onto the floor but hey it works!!! The added option of cable TV is a nice touch most air b n b’s don’t offer that option!! The barn shutters on the windows so pretty, provides black out for ideal sleeping in!! All in all the cookies were an added to die for extra sweet bonus!!! Thank YOU for sharing your slice of paradise.
