House vacation rentals in Mount Desert

Nice place! I had a great time here with my dog. The host gave us instructions when we arrived, and he response very quickly and friendly. Highly recommend

The house was perfect for us. Very clean and organized. Great host always responded in a timely manner. Was only about a 30 to 40 minute drive to Acadia National Park & Bar harbor, depending on traffic it could take longer. If we ever make it back to Maine I would definitely stay at the Higgins Retreat again. Thanks again Richard & Tina.

Thank you Christina! Great weekend stay for UMaine graduation. Great location from campus and stores for the things we forgot (haha).

We felt like at home. The house is located in a private property with swimming pool and tennis courts. It’s very clean and very peaceful. Just a clarification about the description : there’s no bathroom in the basement. Then if you come with elderly people or very young kids, it could be annoying. If you like cooking, the kitchen is very well equipped. We´ll keep a very good memory of our stay in Ducktrap Retreat during the colorful foliage season.

My return visit to the Boathouse was even lovelier than I hoped it would be. The location can't be matched by anything else I've seen. I enjoyed a September visit with my dog and was lucky to have pristine weather. I lived a very simple and healthy outdoors life and came home the better for it. The Boathouse is true to its description: it is simple and rustic and uncomplicated but well-equipped, and is perfect for one-and-dog, or for two people. A little coming-and-going from the neighboring houses meant that I didn't feel isolated. Margaret is truly an exceptional and friendly host who communicates promptly and clearly. I almost hesitate to share "my" Boathouse location with too many of my back-home friends because it feels so intimate and special. I already want to be back there. I offer my deep thanks to Margaret and to the place that I could - briefly - call home.

I recently stayed with my family at this incredible Airbnb that exceeded all my expectations. This property offered a hot tub, a pool table, and a level of privacy and tranquility that made for a truly relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was being able to watch the northern lights from the hot tub – it was absolutely magical. We spent a week in Acadia, and the location was perfect, just 15-20 minutes from Bar Harbor or the nearest town. The hosts were very responsive, and the place was fantastic for families, being both kid and pet friendly. It was a week filled with unforgettable moments, and I can't recommend this place enough!

We had a great stay at this house! Plenty of beds for everyone. Convenient to get to Acadia and bar harbor with a short drive!

We loved the place! The house is cozy and roomy but feels secluded even though you are right at the entrance of the camp grounds. It is conveniently located a short drive to downtown bar harbor and Acadia NP so you aren’t wasting much time driving around. Highly recommended the place to couples/small families looking for a nice place to stay on MDI!

So many great things to stay about this fantastic Airbnb: amazing location, gorgeous backyard, everything was clean and neat. The hosts had excellent communication and were responsive as questions came up. They had great recommendations for supermarkets, hikes, local restaurants. There were so many little things that showed attention to detail: sound machines in every room, jewelry bowls on nightstands, good quality cosmetics, detergent for the washing machine, etc. The house has 3 bedrooms: all the linens were clean and neat. The one thing to keep in mind is that the third bedroom was smaller and had less space than the other two with no furniture - this would be perfect for a family with kids but was not ideal for 3 friends traveling since not all the bedrooms were exactly equitable. Overall, we had an amazing experience - it was such a pleasure to stay there.

The TreeHome was beautiful, nestled against the quiet side of Acadia NP, among other single-family homes. We felt very safe. Surrounded by trees and large granite rocks, we could not see another house from the windows. The house was pristine with the latest-styled furniture, kitchen, & bath. Comfortable beds. Wifi was great. Loved the tree in the center of the spiral staircase, all the live plants, the ship's rigging to hold the lantern in the vaulted ceiling, and the painting of Appa. We felt like we were with "our people". Would love to stay there again!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this beautiful home! The house was spotless, cozy, and beautifully decorated. The host was equally wonderful. So kind, welcoming, and responsive. She made check-in a breeze and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything I needed. It’s clear she genuinely care about her guests experience. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable, and well-cared-for stay.

We absolutely loved our stay here! I can't say enough good things about the house - it is SO cute and very well maintained. It was super clean, all the furniture was very comfortable, and the kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed. We felt right at home. Our pup loved hanging in the fenced in backyard while we enjoyed the fire pit. You can't beat the location - it's a really easy (and beautiful!) drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor, and we loved the nearby villages of Tremont and Southwest Harbor so much that we ended up spending a good bit of time there too. That side of Mount Desert Island is really charming. There are many great restaurants nearby, with views for days. The best of Maine! Megan was a great host, very communicative and helpful. Thank you for a great stay, we can't wait to come back!!

This stay was exactly what we had hoped for! Close access to The Park, walkable to everything in the village, and just enough “off the beaten path” where it was peaceful every night. We can’t wait to be back!

Best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had! Wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else when visiting the area. Perfect location, wonderful place, and extremely accommodating host. A hidden gem in Bar Harbor.

Bendigo and Jenni were great hosts from the start. They communicated before we arrived and checked in with us regularly throughout our stay to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Their house is beautiful and looks just like the photos. Every room was meticulously clean and so lovely. The location is very private and peaceful. After a day of hiking and sightseeing it felt like coming home each evening. We would definitely book again with Bendigo and Jenni on our future trips to MDI.

Robyn is an amazing host. She has a visitors book with a lot of amazing recommendations and local suggestions. The property itself is great, feels right at home. Very cozy stay. Strongly recommend!

We had an incredible stay at the Blue Hill Bay house! Nestled in a peaceful wooded setting, the home feels wonderfully secluded, yet inviting. The expansive windows, especially from the top floor loft, make you feel like you’re living in a treehouse. We loved spending evenings around the fire pit, which is surrounded by thoughtfully curated plants, creating a truly magical atmosphere. The grill was easy to use, making outdoor meals a breeze. Inside, the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms spotless. We also appreciated how thoughtfully designed the space was, especially since it's hard to find a cute place that also warmly welcomes dogs. If you’re considering a stay here, don’t hesitate, this place is a gem! We can’t wait to return.

Beautiful space to get away from it all while still being close to everything! Entrances to Acadia National Park were literally around the corner and the cute town of Bar Harbor was just a 3 minute drive! The house decor was fresh, clean, and very inviting. We enjoyed the fire pit, hot tub, and backyard. We were happy to get great weather while we were there, but if it hadn’t worked out that way there were so many games and books we would have still had a great time!

Erica was a great host and the stay was spectacular. We were traveling with our six month old daughter and Erica was kind enough to order a pack and play for our daughter to sleep in. The space was unique and had more than everything we needed. The outdoor space was really cool with the fire pit, hot tub, and easy access to the water. We didn’t get to utilize the kayaks and paddleboards due to the weather but would certainly have tried them out if weather permitted! We spent 4 days going to Acadia and bar harbor which was an easy 30 minute drive from this Airbnb. Would easily stay here again!

The house was cozy and comfortable with all amenities we could need. The kitchen was huge and had a ton of pots and pans and every implement and accessory we could possibly want. We loved the living room, which was filled with books and music, and an invitation from RIch to listen to/read whatever we liked. We also loved the quiet surroundings. It was lovely and peaceful. I would definitely recommend the property and the owner.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Salt in the Pines! It was the first visit to Maine for some of our family members from the Philippines, and we all absolutely fell in love with the place. The home is beautifully appointed and tastefully decorated with incredible attention to detail. We especially enjoyed bringing takeout from the Travelin Lobster and savoring our seafood feast in the cozy alcove dining area. We would love to return!

We had such an amazing time at 10 Jordan Pond. The homes location was perfect. Walking distance to the beach and restaurant down the street. You can’t get much closer to Acadia! The home was clean and so charming. Plenty of space for our family of 7. Edith was a wonderful host. She was helpful and responsive to my questions. We look forward to the day we can return.

We had a wonderful stay. Melissa and Andrew’s place is fantastic! It was very cozy, clean, and a convenient base for Bar Harbor adventures.

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. The location is very private and picturesque while still being close to everything that you need. We hiked 3 days in a Acadia and this Airbnb was lovely to relax and unwind at afterwards. The firepit by the beach was wonderful! Watching the sunset right behind the house was amazing! Short drive to bar harbor, short drive to Acadia. We found so much to fill our time with and the host gave excellent recommendations as well! Would definitely stay here again and hope to do so someday! Fully equipped kitchen, great dining room for “family meals”. Beds were comfy, plenty of towels and linens. Host was very responsive and got us what we needed extremely quickly when we ran out (paper towels and dish soap). Thanks for a wonderful vacation!!
