Mount Desert Island vacation rentals

We had a beautiful stay with views of the sound. We saw all kinds of wildlife including hawks, heron, seal, eagles, ducks and more. While the weather wasn’t nice enough for us to enjoy lots of time outside, the windows and view kept us entertained in between hikes in Acadia. Amenities were lovely and the space was everything we needed and more.

This is a beautiful hidden little gem. The cottage is right on the water facing west, perfect to catch the sunsets every night. The place is comfortable and homey. The local store (Dunbar’s) had everything we needed and more, including a deli and hot food. We enjoyed some time in Acadia, which is about an hour drive, but trust me it was worth the drive to stay at Plover’s Cottage. I would definitely stay again. Mark, the host, was available for questions and even brought more firewood to make sure we got to enjoy the fireplace.

Wonderful house fully equipped with everything we needed for a week with our grown children and grandbaby. Southwest Harbor is a beautiful little town and we enjoyed the coffee shops and restaurants. Great location to Bar Harbor and Acadia.

Truly the most perfect location and space in Acadia! It was peaceful and serene while being close to everything in Acadia. My family and I felt at home right away, and Peter and Jane were very communicative every step of the way! I couldn’t recommend their home more!

Gorgeous ocean views right on the water! Every room has gorgeous photography on the walls, the house was extremely clean, everything clearly laid out in the house manual. Sunrises and moonrises over the ocean were stunning and unbelievable. Amazing location, super close to Tidal Falls. Drive to Acadia was easy and it is a great spot in between the Schoodic peninsula part of Acadia and the Bar Harbor part.

We’ve been coming to MDI for over 40 years, and have stayed in some very nice homes and inns. This may now be the top of our list. Peter was an exceptional host, responding within minutes to any questions we had. The house looks deceptively small from the outside, but it is very nicely laid out and surprisingly spacious throughout. Living room and master bedroom very spacious, with lots of closet and drawer space. The king-size bed is very, very comfortable. In fact everything seems designed for the comfort and ease of guests. Record player with Bluetooth speakers to input your own music work well. TV the same. We loved sitting out on the screened porch (with windows closed - this was May!) And I was very pleased and surprised to have yoga mats available to use. Peter thinks of everything! Our son joined us the 4 nights we stayed. It was the perfect setup for him with the separate cabin behind the house. He had everything he needed. We would love to come back again!

Lauren’s cottage was fantastic! Warm and cozy. Beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The weather was unfortunately chilly and wet during part of our stay and the cottage was perfect to relax.

We had a great stay! Surrounded by beautiful nature. Very private but close 15 min drive into bar harbor. Trail head in the backyard was an added bonus. Very comfortable and large space to hang out! Loved our stay and would come back!

Can’t rave enough about our stay at Adi’s Mountain View! Beautiful view, cozy and peaceful lodgings, and wonderful host. Tate was extremely kind and patient. The kitchen was well stocked and tidy, as well as the laundry area. We will be coming back!

Had a wonderful time in the cabin. It was exactly as described. Loved the quaint private location that was very close to Acadia national park. We felt right at home. The evening stars were spectacular.

This Airbnb was a perfect spot for a couple to explore all of Mount Desert Island . We stayed for 6 nights and experienced Maine’s beautiful fall foliage. It was exactly as described - peaceful and private - away from busy bar harbor - but easy enough 15 min drive to and from and to Park entrance. we enjoyed the fire pit, cozy living area and used the kitchen to cook in after busy days on the trail … would highly recommend. And Traveling Lobster right down the road is amuse for Best Lobster Rolls !

Mandi and Michael’s place was a dream come true! Our jaws dropped the moment we stepped foot out of the car and walked the path to the cabin. As hosts, they thought of everything we could need and more. Our stay at the Happy Loon was better than we could’ve imagined. Thank you both for making our trip so magical. We appreciate your hospitality and for sharing your beautiful property with us.

Great home and location. Incredibly easy check in and everything was as described. Would certainly stay here again!!

Erika & James were wonderful hosts! Their home was so comfortable & clean, had everything we could need. Felt like a home away from home. Cozy blankets, great book collection, and we loved all the board games! Especially fun having all those National Park & Acadia games. The home is very close to many trails & Acadia National Park. Would love to visit again!

This was an amazing rustic cabin. So peaceful and a view that was spectacular. We sat for hours and just stared out! The wood burning stove was a delight and the bed was super comfy. The outdoor shower was warm and it was lovely to see the water and sky while showering. The location was perfect for exploring Acadia. The hosts were kind and very responsive. 100% recommend.

A cozy cabin deep in the woods right next to the water and Acadia. What more could you ask for?
