Family-friendly vacation rentals in Orono

A beautiful rustic cabin in an amazing spot. Lori is a great host and is always near in her farmhouse to communicate and get you what you need. Appleton is not far from Camden / Rockland but has that rustic getaway feel. The option of adding a wonderful soak in the hot tub, wood fired sauna, massage and breakfast are available as well. I’ll be back next year! Thank you for everything, Lori!

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay at Latham blueberry farm. Doug and Brenda were incredibly helpful and friendly- they introduced us to the house and farm as soon as we checked in and were always available if needed. The beds were comfy, the kitchenette stocked, and the grounds were gorgeous. Their beautiful 1826 farm house was an authentic experience of staying on a farm- our kids loved feeding the animals (especially Ernie the pig and Moses the horse); picking fresh blueberries; and swimming and paddleboating in the private pond. Our hosts had great recommendations for local outings, and we loved chatting with them and playing with their puppy Jackie. Our family made lifetime memories.

We loved our time at Dwayne and Patti’s place! It definitely felt like a home rather than a hotel, which is exactly what we want when we book an Airbnb over a hotel. The musical instruments and hot tub were a hit with our group :) The location is amazing, close to both Bar Harbor (Acadia) and Bangor. We got to go to a concert and hiking during our stay, and we loved returning to our home base. I can’t want to be back!!

great stay for a relaxing weekend trip. perfect house for chilling but still drivable to Acadia. well stocked on the essentials, linens, and stunning views! host very responsive as well.

This place is so lovely and peaceful. We loved the water view from the loft and roaming the beach. It is a great spot.

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!

Beautiful home with a great view, deer and turkeys in the front yard. Very quiet and peaceful. The home is well equipped and spacious.

The home was spotless and comfortable. Back patio was cozy and we really enjoyed relaxing in the private hot tub while listening to the owls. The entire process was seamless and easy! We will definitely be back.

Beautiful place! Great view of the lake and quiet location driving distance to Acadia.

We loved our stay. We visited mostly for our trip to Acadia, so we did a lot of back and forth driving, but our stay at Treetop was peaceful and perfect for our needs. We love the quiet and the beautiful view. The trail connected to the property was a huge bonus—our pup loved it! Suzanne was very helpful, detailed, and responsive. We appreciated her guidance!

Staying at the treehouse was such a unique experience! The treehouse actually has trees growing amongst the various decks and porches! There are so many windows with great views of the forest. I loved how cozy and clean it felt and we enjoyed all of the amenities (sauna, rain shower, hot tub bathtub). My kids enjoyed sleeping up in the loft. There are a lot of outdoor and screened in spaces that allowed us to spread out and relax. The gas fireplace is two sided and even heats one of the porches! I could see this being a nice place to stay in all seasons. Although the treehouse is not far (8 mins) from two substantial grocery stores, the site feels very private and peaceful. And MDI is so accessible as well. Thank you for sharing this memorable experience with us!

Thank you! We had a wonderful stay, and the views were beautiful!

My husband and I stayed here with our dogs and loved it! The cottage was quaint and lovely …. And the location is perfect! Amanda was so kind and responsive! We will definitely be back when in Camden again 🌸🌲🌊

The Strawberry house was such an amazing place for my wife and I to spend our first anniversary. We go to midcoast Maine every year and this was certainly a special one for us. Comfortable, thoughtfully designed and accessible to town. Highly recommend!

A beautiful house in a beautiful location! Beth was wonderful to deal with and very communicative. She kept in touch with us prior to our trip, and she patiently answered any questions we had during the trip. The views from the patio and living room are fantastic, and the area is very quiet. Both the Park and Bar Harbor are a short drive a way. This is a great place to stay on a trip to Bar Harbor.

I had such a great time at this place! The apartment was very clean and the host was exceptional. I appreciated the early check-in and late check-out, local recommendations, and the location! This was the perfect home base for exploring Acadia National Park. My dog loved it too! I appreciated the host's recommendation to rent an bike for the Acadia carriage roads. I ended up renting an e-bike for 6 hours and biked 29 miles to as many bridges as I could. It was one of the highlights of my trip! I would definitely stay at this place again for a future trip to the area!

Wow. This is a beautiful peaceful place to stay when visiting Acadia and Bar Harbor. Just 5-10 minutes from the park and plenty of restaurants and shopping. We loved the blueberry pie and ice cream you could get at any time day or night. The hosts are so helpful and friendly The bed is super comfy great water pressure in the shower and the cottage is creatively stocked and organized for a small space. It was perfect!

What a beautiful cabin in the woods! Lots of wildlife around the property & there was a little hiking path through the woods. Within 15min to two picturesque towns, Camden & Belfast. I highly recommend visiting the alpaca store for some fabulous socks! The cabin was super clean and beautiful. I instantly fell in love with it. We will certainly stay here again if we come to the Lincolnville area again. It snowed while we were here and Andreas husband came over and made sure the driveway was plowed. You won't be disappointed if you stay here!!

We loved staying at the Little Lodge! Patty was very helpful throughout our stay and the provided maps and recommendations were really nice for navigating the area. The cabin was also so cute and cozily decorated throughout! We went to Acadia national park and it was definitely worth the slightly longer drive. Overall this was a great experience for our group and we would definitely recommend staying here if you’re visiting Downeast Maine!!

Had a great stay with friends at Gregory’s place! The nature around was amazing and the place had everything we needed! The easy walk to the private beach was so worth it!

The apartment was very comfortable, clean and spacious, and in a cool neighborhood. Check in and check out were both easy. Diane is a great host, friendly and responsive. She even put out chairs and a little table on the roof deck outside the kitchen door, and we enjoyed getting some fresh air, looking out at the water and watching the sunset. Being right on Main Street was really fun, and a welcome change from those secluded cabins in the woods! It is a short walk to Traci's for a great breakfast, and we loved being "regulars" at Rollie's down the street for beer and cider on tap, and a couple of suppers too. Great stay in wonderful Maine!

This is a delightful place. Watching the sunrise and moonrise from the dock was beautiful. While it is a bit of a drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, coming back to the house to relax was a highlight. The girls did a few puzzles while the guys played pool. We sat on the dock to relax in the sun and listen to the water lapping on the shore. Thank you for letting us stay here.

Tim’s place was absolutely perfect for our multi-generational family vacation. Everyone had all they needed and were super happy with their accommodations and the amenities at his beautiful lake house. He was very responsive and helpful. It truly felt like we were staying at a friend’s place as we had access to just about the entire house and garage, both of which were stocked with everything imaginable for a peaceful and relaxing stay on a gorgeous lake. When and if we plan another trip to Ellsworth, Tim will be my first call!

Ann's place was a great stay, especially because my wife and I are more into hiking than walking around Bar Harbor. Not that doing the latter was at all difficult. Bar Harbor is a focal point for those into restaurants and shopping, and it isn't a difficult drive from the cottage (maybe 15 min or so). Ann's place is centrally located in Mt. Desert near several trailheads. The Parkman Mountain trailhead and access point for the carriage road is only about a mile down the road. The start of a scenic drive along Some Sound that leads to Northeast Harbor is even closer. The central location of the cottage also makes it easy to get to the "Quiet Side" of Mt. Desert. Our 7-night stay wasn't enough to see everything we wanted, so we may come back someday. If we do, we would love to stay here again.
