Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Penobscot Bay

A great stay at this lovely, cozy home—yet again! Already looking forward to returning in July. You’ll find it all here: It’s quiet, with all the amenities you need (and nothing you don’t), the pretty water views, and a location that provides access to good restaurants and the beautiful Acadia National Park.

Very charming place. Would stay again.

I had a truly wonderful experience at this property. The home itself was absolutely beautiful, tastefully designed, clean, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. What truly set it apart, though, was the peaceful environment. Surrounded by nature and tranquility, it was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether you’re looking to relax, recharge, or simply enjoy a serene setting, this property is an ideal choice. Highly recommended

This was a great last minute find to base for Arcadia park day trips. The Airbnb matched the description, was spacious and comfortable with all the basics present (however it would have been great if there were wine glasses and a kettle but we managed). Overall a great stay!

This is a great little place. It's small, but well laid out, and nicely renovated and furnished inside. The woooden deck out back is a bit rickety, but nothing of concern. Kitchen is very well supplied with better-than-usual pots and pans, etc. A salad spinner, carrot peeler would be nice. Beds are comfortable, and bedding is very nice. Folks with mobility issues should be aware that the stairs to the upstairs bedroom are a bit steep. Backyard is small but fenced and helpful for those that want to let their pet run around, though do note that there are nooks and crannies (e.g. under the back deck) that where they might get into mischief. The neighborhood is nice and friendly, even if some of the nearby houses are a bit run down. (There are lots of beautiful old Victorian houses too. It’s a nice mix.) Just a couple of blocks to the bike trail to Maine campus in Orono though the university-owned woodlands with walking/skiing/mountain bike trails. We would stay again.

We stayed at Sabrina's place for 2 nights while visiting Acadia. The property is very private and quiet. it had a view of the cove right behind the house. We enjoyed going out there to see the sunrise. The house is very clean and organized. It had everything we needed for out stay. I would recommend this if your looking for a place away from the crowds of Acadia National Park.

We absolutely loved our stay! We rented the house for 7 adults and 1 dog to celebrate a 31st bday! We loved being able to walk right down to the tasting room for a beer, cook a big dinner in the kitchen, play games, and watch the amazing vcr collection. Everything was clean and comfortable. So glad it’s a dog friendly space!

My friends and I loved this Airbnb. We brought our dog and he also loved it! The firepit outside was a huge plus. It was clean and comfortable. There were games available to play and a streaming TV. The kitchen was spacious and it was a good size for 5-6 people.

Great house and good location, it was warm during our stay. Enough space for our company. Not far away from the city. Overall it was nice staying there.

This place was beautiful and we felt right at home! It was cozy and peaceful. Definitely would recommend and definitely would come back!

We had a great stay at this house. It was an awesome location, very private, and not too far from necessities. The house was incredible and very well organized for easy living experience. Rebecca was great with the check in and check out instructions. Everything we had to do was very clear. I also left some clothing in the dryer and she was great with quick communication in order for me to be able to get my things back after we had already checked out. 100% would visit again.

A beautiful, historical home. Walkable location- easy to get to restaurants and shopping. The home has plenty of room for a large group of people! The home is well decorated, well thought out- including labels everywhere so you can find what you need. The rooms and beds were cozy. My kids enjoyed a game of hide and seek in this massive place! The kitchen was a dream to cook in! Cale was an amazing host- super responsive, so helpful and kind! Would definitely stay again!

Better than pictured and Christina was great! Will definitely stay again!

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.

BEAUTIFUL Home!! Tons of space to relax and spread out with our family! The beds were very comfortable! We really appreciated all of the bathrooms for our group! The kitchen was huge and so handy for preparing meals! I absolutely loved the style and atmosphere of this wonderful home! We also loved being able to bring our dogs!! We had a lovely time and we would most definitely come back!!! 🥰

This lovely apartment directly overlooking the park in downtown Bar Harbor was the perfect place for our family. With grandparents, parents, two small children, and a chihuahua, we had room to spread out, sleep comfortably, walk to the beach and the park, shop, and eat wonderful food and ice cream. I would want others to know that the stairs up to the apartment are steep, a tiny bit tricky for the senior with bad knees and the toddlers with short legs. The apartment has a Smart TV, which wasn't really watchable for us. If they had cable it would have been just perfect! Overall, this place was in a dream location and afforded all of us a chance to relax and enjoy the gorgeous fall weekend in Maine.

Fantastic spot. The cabin is so well equipped and squeaky clean. Maggie has thought of everything! Walkable to town in minutes and private. There are even glimpses of the sparkling ocean. 5 stars!

Our family and I had a wonderful stay at Jackies, we are all originally from maine, and her home gives you everything great about maine. We really felt at home, it snowed christmas eve which made it even more beautiful ( The driveway was plowed out early as well). I brought a small christmas tree with us on our trip up, and when we walked in, the place was decorated for christmas, which was just amazing and so thoughtful. We definitly plan on staying again, the next time we are back in maine. Thank you again Jackie!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Samantha's place in Cushing. To say that she is "very responsive" would be an understatement. She typically responded within 10 minutes no matter what my question was. She lives a short distance away which really helped facilitate things. We had a minor issue with the Internet which required communication with the service provider, but she coordinated everything and resolved it right away. The house is totally charming - old, a bit creaky and adorable - and well maintained (no issues there). We imagined how great it would be to visit in wintertime and snuggle up to a roaring fire. They have an expansive yard with gardens great for a short evening stroll. Forest habitat behind the property was great for bird watching. The area is absolutely beautiful - quintissential coastal Maine. The Olson House (local attraction) is a few minutes drive from the house. The grounds have a walking trail along the water with fantastic views of the coast.

What an amazing time I had at this place! I got married to my best friend and we had our families joined together! Everyone cooking every night, beach walks, board games, and fires for when it got a little cold. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding week! Thank you so much to Paul and Shankari for being wonderful helpful host!

The apartment was well appointed (well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, good water pressure in the shower), clean, and very convenient to where I needed to be (Colby College). There were some issues I encountered with difficulty regulating the heating system and hot water never being really hot (but warm enough to shower). Lori was responsive about all of it & I found workarounds while I was there and my stay overall was comfortable. Lori expressed that they would check on these for future guests & I am sure she will as she & her team seem quite on top of things.

We greatly enjoyed our time at Slice of Haven. It was clean and comfortable and we all felt right at home. Krista and Joe were gracious hosts and helped recommend local attractions to see and restaurants to eat out.

Great location and property. Easy to get to all parts of the island.

We were on a road trip celebrating our wedding anniversary, when we stayed at the "Blackberry Cottage". Our road trip was a laid back trip, deciding as we went, what our next destination would be. With that being said, we were able to book our 4 night stay with Suzanne, the day before our intended arrival. We had a small hiccup with booking, that was easily rectified in a very prompt manner. Suzanne was very approachable with any questions that we had. She made us feel right at home for our 4 night stay, checking in with us, to see if we were in need of anything. We would recommend the lodging at the cottages to any friends or family planning a trip to Maine I. the future!
