Guesthouse vacation rentals in Mid-Coast, Maine

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

This was such a delightful, peaceful & beautiful place to stay. Shelby was extremely responsive & helpful. I appreciated that she went the extra mile to alert me to the Aurora Borealis & encourage me to see it from the point. When the power went out b/c of a local car accident, she kept me updated with information about cause & when power was expected to return & provided flashlights & a special battery powered lightbulb to provide light. I couldn't have asked for more!

Our visit in Alane and Bill's studio was a welcome reset after a few busy months. The surroundings are stunningly beautiful and full of opportunities for adventure with our five-year-old, who enjoyed the adventure of climbing and exploring the Giant Stairs on Bailey Island. His demands for a sandy beach were met at Cedar Beach and Popham State Park. We found great food at the Fisherman's Net, a Fish Shack with a satisfying Vietnamese bent; pizza from Zack's Country Store just down the street; and curries at Shere Punjab in Brunswick. Alane and Bill were always responsive and ready with suggestions. We would love to go again. Thank you, Bill and Alane!

I had a great time at JC's place. The location was near the national park but it felt private. Everything was clean and exactly as described. The wifi was a little spotty, so don't expect to rely on it for anything serious, but I was able to do enough research about my hikes every day. During my stay I also ran into an issue with the water heater every day, but JC was very responsive and got it fixed promptly. I'd 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!

Bev is a wonderful host, and the cottage was exactly what we needed while we were visiting my parents nearby. Check-in was very easy, and the cottage was impeccable and well-appointed. We had everything we needed, and a short walk to beautiful Higgins Beach to boot! We definitely plan to visit again.

My fiancée and I stayed here for a week with our dog, Lily. It was a great location - only a short drive to Portland and in a beautiful neighborhood. The area is wooded, peaceful and highly walkable. The amenities in the house were perfect - so convenient to have a washer and dryer. We were able to cook breakfast every morning before our day got started with the fully stocked kitchen. The bed was super comfortable! We slept great. Elizabeth was responsive and friendly. Would stay again and highly recommend her place.

What an absolutely gorgeous and quiet location and with such gracious hosts. We enjoyed our stay so much we’re already planning our next year’s visit. Deborah and Charles are absolutely wonderful. Thank you!!!

Highly recommend for a weekend or longer vacation or business trip to Portland area

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!

Clicking my heels trying to go back. I had a wonderful, relaxing getaway at The Appleton Retreat. Braeburn was cozy, clean, and had beautiful outdoor surroundings, including quick access to the pond trail. Super comfy bed and nap daybed. The hot tub was private and lovely and Peter set up a wonderful evening sauna session for me. Hosts were responsive while respecting my alone time, and the homemade pumpkin muffins were icing on the cake.

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!

beautiful place! would love to come back:)

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.

My wife and I stayed here with our 5-month-old (not walking/crawling yet) for our first family road trip (which can be stressful) and Tara & Wallace made it a wonderful stay. It's a perfect spot on the peninsula to explore all the great restaurants, hikes, shops, etc between Blue Hill, Brooksville (Tinderhearth) Stonington, and Brooklin, which is exactly what we came for. The place was super comfortable, the sunsets were as described and the stars were fantastic. The host's responsiveness was especially helpful when I accidentally locked us out of the unit with a crying baby in the car! Would definitely stay again!

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.

Extremely well-equipped (down to the Weber grill grates with the fold-up sides). Quiet, easy access to I-295, 15 minutes from Portland. Do note that plates and glasses are kept in rather tall cabinets, but I would very gladly stay here again.

Cozy, clean, great bed, good shower. We came at Christmas when it was quite cold and were thus able to access the walking trails out in back of the property without fear of ticks. Lots of small thoughtful touches and beautiful poinsettias to welcome us. Phoebe and Nathan responded immediately to our queries. Easy check-in and we felt safe. The property was quiet. Very nice stay.
