Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Messalonskee Lake

This house worked out great for us. Had everything we needed and as they said it was 5 minutes from the restaurants, museums and shops of downtown Rockland. In the other direction are the lighthouses and fishing villages of the midcoast. The unexpected bonus was the view. We could watch the sunrise over the bay from the living room, yard, or down the hill by the water. We could also see the Rockland breakwater light in the distance. As dog owners we appreciated having clean floors throughout the house instead of suspect carpets, and plenty of yard to take care of business.

Had a great stay! Donald was a great host and the house was very clean. Perfect location for any activity in the area. I was a little worried that it might be noisy because the house is on a somewhat busy street, but I didn't hear a thing! It was surprisingly quiet. Couldn't recommend this place more when you are in Maine. I look forward to staying again when I'm back in town!

I was looking for a small, waterfront place to stay with my dog to decompress and unplug. OakLeaf exceeded my expectations and was perfect. Sunrises and sunsets overlooking the river and sitting by a fire were spectacular and I stayed an extra night. Bill, his wife, and their dog Shadow were gracious hosts and knowledgeable about the area. I will be returning!

Second stay at the farm house. Two weeks this time. We just love it here. Plenty of space yet cozy, everything you need, lovely outdoors space. We enjooed watching the chickens, dicks and horse next door. I wish we could stay for months. Thank you, Amy and family!

This was the perfect rental for our family of 4 for the thanksgiving holiday. The home had everything we needed and wanted, great location within walking distance of so many great places in Rockland, and was clean and comfortable. Alicia went out of her way to provide recommendations for our stay! This is probably the best Airbnb we’ve stayed at and the most helpful host we’ve encountered. Highly recommend and thank you to Alicia and family for making our week so enjoyable while spending time with our kids on their college break.

The hosts were very prompt in communicating. The thoughtfulness they have put into furnishing the property is amazing. It has a very vintage nautical feeling to it. The house is extremely well appointed. We didn’t have any problems at all. The surroundings are off the beaten path which we especially appreciated. It’s a short 10 minute drive to Damariscotta Downtown. I would highly recommend this property.

We had an amazing time over valentines day weekend. There was a snow storm and Kent snow blowed around our vehicle to make sure we could get out. The house is very comfortable and peaceful, amazing view of the river and just off the road enough to not be bothered by passing traffic. Definitely recommend!!!!

Beautiful spot! Far enough from everything to feel private and peaceful but not so far that it's inconvenient. Nice and clean. Would stay here again.

Had a great stay for a couple nights! Apartment was plenty spacious, clean, and had a great cafe a 2 min walk away

Great stay. Would stay again.

You know it’s a lovely space when we come multiple years to stay! Amy is the nicest- a fantastic host with great recommendations for the area. The apartment is clean and spacious and full of rustic charm. Our kids adored the ducks they have on the property and the yard is wonderfully inviting! Can’t wait to come back next year 😃

This apartment was spacious, quiet and comfortable. Perfect for two couples.

Great stay with Dom. Exactly what we were looking for. Short walk to everything. Comfy beds.

My family and I had another great stay at Kathleen’s. We arrived and were so grateful for a clean and comfortable stay. We cooked lobster and were so happy to see that Kathleen’s kitchen had everything we needed. Excited to go back a third time!

We were completely satisfied with our stay. The apartment was exactly as described - this is a complement! The furnishings are a nice combination of modern and older pieces. There are interesting art and craft pieces, and I kept discovering thoughtful touches throughout the stay. Katie clearly though about making this a welcoming space.

Great listing in Waterville. Wife and I stayed here while I worked as a lecturer for Colby College. The space is clean and cozy, it was perfect for what we needed.

Great place. Hosts were super accommodating pre-stay, and were there to help and explain things upon arrival. Cabin was very clean, comfortable, and well supplied with everything needed. Right on water with great views off back deck. Would definitely rent again.

This is the second time that we stayed at Allen's place, and we have already booked a stay for 2025. The condo is clean, tastefully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for our stay. It is located in a great location to explore the coast, head north one day, and south the next, etc. It is quiet and secure and Allen and Cheryl are quick to answer questions. I can't recommend their place highly enough!!

Rob's apartment in Wiscasset was a perfect spot during our weeklong stay in Maine! The apartment is cosy, and Wiscasset is perfectly situated to allow you to explore the coast of Maine. Rob is a fantastic host, as well: communication was so speedy and always helpful.

Great location, good communication, clean, easy check in. Perfect for what we needed.

Great place for the price and has a great view of the water.

Diane’s place was in my husband’s words…”nicely done! I, myself, thought Diane’s place was artistically decorated with fun touch’s in every room.

She made cookies the moment we checked in and delivered them to us with warm milk. Wonderful host with great knowledge of the beautiful Pemaquid region
