House vacation rentals in Penobscot River

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.

What a wonderful experience! Rebecca was an absolutely outstanding host, always quick to respond and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. My family and I had such a peaceful stay. The home and location were incredibly tranquil, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The house and property were absolutely beautiful, and we loved sipping our morning coffee on the amazing balconies with the breathtaking views. There is so much space, and every room in the house is well thought out, functional, and cozy. The pool is even better than we hoped, so big and clean and in immaculate condition. We spent most of our time swimming and relaxing by the pool. We also enjoyed playing pool and having so many rooms to gather in with the comfort of plenty of new comfy furniture. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind for a vacation away from all the noise and chaos of daily life. Every single area was as described in the listing and better. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

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.

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

A nice rustic, peaceful getaway for our crew at the end of a long day. We appreciated the space and the surrounding greenery of Maine!

Booked this place for our anniversary to get away from the city for a weekend.. we found exactly what we were looking for! The hot tub was wonderful, the house was clean and cute, and we had everything we could have needed! Estelle was very responsive and gave clear instructions for everything. Would recommend this place for a quiet getaway or a small group trip in the summer!

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!

Sandy’s property was amazing. The lake is beautiful the house is so well decorated and spacious. She was extremely responsive for any questions and even messaged to check in during our stay. The house was full of amenities, the kayaks were our favorite. Will definitely stay again!

Samantha’s home was even better than the pictures! The location was fantastic. The home was super clean and had a wonderful smell when we entered the home. She and her team were very responsive and provided us with recommendations based on a survey they sent as well as a packet of information at the home. Check-in and check-out were very smooth. My family and I enjoyed it very much! We will definitely be back. Thank you again Samantha and team!

Everything was perfect — from the beautiful views to every detail inside, we could not be more happy with our stay! We loved watching the sunset from the fire pit and listening to the wildlife sounds after a fun day in Acadia. Thank you for such an incredible place to stay! We look forward to coming back!

Very spacious and accessible home. The kitchen was nicely equipped for making our own meals and the convenience store by the roundabout had plenty of groceries. Everyone around the areas was so friendly. Would definitely stay again.

My husband and I spent our babymoon at Jennifer’s place, and waking up to the stunning lake view each day was just what I needed to unwind. I asked Jennifer if there was cooking oil available, and her mom kindly brought us a bottle of olive oil before our arrival—such a thoughtful gesture! We will definitely stay here again if we're ever in the area.

The house was a perfect alternative for my sister and our parents to stay together in one place. We were in town from MD for a celebration of life and our dad wanted to show us around his childhood city of Bangor. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed.

We had a fantastic two-night stay at this beautiful home on Springy Pond! The house was spacious, clean, and perfect for a getaway with friends and family. We especially loved the peaceful surroundings and direct access to the lake, kayaking early in the morning and watching the sunrise over the water was absolutely magical. The kitchen was great, making it easy for us to cook and enjoy meals together. It was also a great base for visiting Acadia National Park, which we were able to explore during the day before coming back to relax by the lake in the evening. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quiet, scenic retreat with easy access to outdoor activities. We hope to come back someday!

Exactly as listed, well-stocked with kitchen, bathroom, and bedding essentials provided.

Abigail’s place is perfect. Cozy, serene, and beautiful. You feel immediately at home when you walk in, the view from the windows is incredible. We enjoyed sitting out on the covered porch, looking out at the water, and watching for wildlife. The rooms were pristine and the pillows were beyond comfy. The addition across the kitchen was the ultimate place to lounge and relax - kid friendly too with day beds. We had a great experience and I can’t recommend this place enough. Our host left a couple of personalized touches which made the trip feel that much more special. Thank you Abigail for a great experience!

This house was perfect for a getaway to Bangor! Scott was a great communicator and answered all of our questions about the surrounding area. This house had all the comfort's of home, would highly recommend for anyone traveling in the area.

I was looking for a comfortable place to stay while my husband and I were town, and this was definitely it! We felt right comfortable and right at home, and it was wonderful having the whole place to ourselves. The location is beautiful and tranquil, and you can't ask for a better view. There were a few minor hiccups while we were there, but Ashley was proactive and responded immediately. We will be back in the future and recommend this place to others as well!

Absolutely wonderful stay. The house was clean, cozy, and a perfect base camp for exploring the area. Everything was exceptionally well organized and labeled, the furniture very comfortable (a couch can make or break a stay and this was so comfy) and Sonya was super responsive, friendly and offered fantastic suggestions for the area! Really can’t overstate how wonderful Sonya is as a host!

We really enjoyed our anniversary cabin! Such a beautiful view from the sun porch area seeing the river. Loved everything about the place and hope to come back for our next anniversary 😁 The hosts were great! They came and helped us with everything to know about the cabin. Gave us a basket of grapes, chocolate covered strawberries and lilac jelly. Loved the size of the place, perfect for us. Highly recommend the cabin and the hosts! 10/10!

Our second stay there we couldn’t wait to go back! The house itself & lake surroundings are beautiful & so peaceful. The house is beautifully decorated and well stocked with anything you could need & more! A gift & thank you card upon arrival & snack basket were greatly appreciated. Host goes above & beyond friendly & helpful. Value for money a real gem

Stayed here on our family trip to Acadia NP. Place was hidden gem in a quiet neighborhood right off US1. Clean and everything was fully functional. Very well maintained and clear instructions. Christian was very polite and helpful along the way.

Large home, beautiful area, responsive host. Couldn't have asked for a better place to spend the weekend in the area!
