Up Back Cottage

David JRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Had a great stay. The perfect getaway after a day of hiking in Acadia. Woodstove was great to take the chill out of the cool nights air.

We had a fantastic time at this cute and cozy cottage! It’s within 15 minutes of basically anything in the Portland area and the cottage itself is so charming and inviting. We only wish we had planned to stay here longer!

Tall Pines Hideaway

JessRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Beatiful cabin on the water, thoughtfully decorated. I loved the layout, plenty of seating areas and lovely decor. There is only one small bathroom which may be an issue with more than 2 or 3 guests, but worked out perfectly for us. We saw deer twice when driving down the trail to the house which was exciting! Loved using the firepit outside. The only bummer was that the dock wasn’t in the water yet. I still managed to use the kayak but would not advise attempting without the dock lol. Wonderful host, David was very responsive and had a nice bottle of wine waiting for us on our arrival. Would 100% come back

RK North : All season Waterfront cottage with dock

KeilysmerRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We had beyond an amazing time staying at this cottage. It was so peaceful and beautiful - my boyfriend spent most of his time fishing and grilling - the dogs had a blast in the water jumping off the dock. It was very close to all the near by beaches and near a lot of shopping plazas.

Cozy Maine Cottage by the Sea

AmandaRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We loved Linda’s cozy cottage for our week stay in Maine. All the comforts we needed in a rustic little piece of heaven by the sea. Nights and mornings on the deck, days by the ocean, and being able to have our dog with us was the best. Thank you for sharing your place with us! Hope to be back again.

Nashport on the Penobscot

AmyRating, 5 stars3 days ago
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.

Megunticook Retreat

DebraRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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.

Newly Built Cozy Cottage in the heart of Maine

MarjolynRating, 5 stars10 months ago
I spent a week at this beautiful little cabin with my two grandchildren. It was the perfect size and looks just as beautiful as the pictures inside and out. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and the beds were very comfortable. The lake can be seen from the cabin and we enjoyed the dock for fishing and watching the ducks. It’s very close to town for groceries etc but very quiet and peaceful on a dead end street. Jason was very welcoming and always available for questions and quick to respond. The only thing that would have made it better for my grandkids is if there was easier access for getting into the lake with a a little beach area or a lawn that went down to the water. But if you want a quiet get away in beautiful surroundings don’t hesitate.

Oceanfront Island: Hiker & Honeymooner’s Paradise

ThomasRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Jane and her cottage were spectacular. We were looking for a place to unwind and decompress, and this was all that plus the bonuses of a luxuriously appointed, thoughtfully decorated and absolutely spotless home, with an unparalleled view of the ocean in its ever-changing moods, shimmering sunsets and moonrises, cavorting seagulls and flocks of geese, and a soundtrack of waves, songbirds and gull calls. We felt welcomed like houseguests at a good friend's home who had just stepped out for a little bit. We forgot to look for the fabled map drawer (mentioned by another reviewer) but were intrigued by the many books on the shelves by Maine authors, and short stories that we read aloud to each other. One of us walked the 4.5 mile loop trail, rugged but well worth the effort, if one is up to it, for the wild coast and ancient forests. We both sat on the chairs at ocean's edge to drink it all in. This was the very best B&B we've ever stayed at. Kudos to Jane for making her home available!

Derek’s home is definitely worth a visit! The photos shown is exactly what you will be getting. In my opinion, it is even better in person. The neighborhood and lake was peaceful and quiet. Also, great fishing. Fast catches and decent sized bass. I will definitely be coming back. Derek is a phenomenal host and very understanding.

Lamoine Modern Guest House

Five stars are not enough for this lovely accommodation. The setting was serene, quiet and accessible to all that the area has to offer; we got married at Acadia National Park and spent the rest of the week here. It couldn’t have been more perfect! The hosts, Carrie and Adam, were extremely kind, thoughtful and responsive. We will definitely want to come back soon.

Romantic waterfront cottage for two in Maine

DavidRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Perfect place to get away and relax. We enjoyed fishing in the morning and evening and sight seeing during the day. Quick trips into Portland, Kennebunkport, Freeport, and the Maine Botanical Gardens (highly recommended ). Locally we enjoyed the Maine Wildlife Park and u-pick strawberries. Picked up some wonderful seafood at Bob’s in Windham to cook in the well supplied kitchen. Mary Ellen and Brian have thought of the many little things that make the cottage a hospitable place. They answered our questions promptly leading up to our trip.

Your own private getaway on Pushaw Lake!

BridgettRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Robert was an incredibly responsive, kind and proactive host. The space is exactly as described, comfortable and Robert has thought of everything. The surroundings are amazing, we loved listening to the loons, watching the chipmunks & even got a glimpse of a beaver one morning. Kayaking was great, with the equipment and dock easy to access and use. We visited Acadia and loved having such a quiet respite after long days exploring the beautiful area. Highly recommend staying here, already thinking about our next trip back!
