Gran Den Lakefront Home Near Acadia
We had a wonderful stay at this cozy, secluded cabin! It was warm and welcoming, even during the chilly April weather. The location was perfect—just a 40 minute drive to Acadia National Park. It’s a great spot for families and dog-friendly too, which made it even better for us. Brady was such a kind and responsive host—quick to communicate and very helpful. Highly recommend!

Walk Anywhere, Immaculate , Fishing, Pet Friendly
5 stars! Clean and quiet, great location sandwiched between Rockland and Camden. Very fortunate we could bring our pup with us for the weekend.

Maine Wilderness Oasis: Hike Swim Kayak Fish
Chausey was a great host and was very responsive when I reached out. The place was well kept, very cozy, and matched the list of amenities listed on the AirBNB listing. It truly felt like a home away from home. I really enjoyed the location and how it was tucked away but within driving distance of downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

Sunset Cove on Swan Lake - Stunning Lake Views!
Absolutely recommend, terrific spot, very calm and peaceful. Gena's house met our every need, everything was easy to access. The location was very near Belfast Maine, nice community with great restaurants and beautiful waterfront scenery. We'd rent again sometime for sure.

Tranquil Lakefront Home
Right from the beginning of the booking, the experience was exceptional. Communication was great, house was perfectly set-up, clean and peaceful! All of the amenities, furniture, and furnishings in the home were perfect for a lake house! Little details were thought of by the hosts —even a bouquet of flowers. Highly recommend this space for families who want a peaceful and spread out home for their family but also great spaces to bring everyone together. Truly an exceptional experience in all areas.

Spacious Lake House /2 guest houses private!
Ohhhh my goodness. What a hidden slice of heaven! Yes…there is a 5 mile trek down a bumpy dirt road, but don’t let that deter you, once you pull in the driveway…you’ll understand it was well worth it. The main house and two tiny houses were completely stocked. There wasn’t anything that wasn’t there. Everything was cleaned and well maintained and in great working order. There was plenty of space for our three families to spread out. If you’re looking for a peaceful get away…this is it. We would definitely look into this place again!!!!!!

Stunning waterfront Lucerne views, private dock
Beautiful and cozy place. Had a great stay. Since we visited during Fall season, the place was peaceful and full of Fall colors. Acadia national park is nearby and has some great places to visit during leaf peeping time.

Baxter Lake House: Decks Docks and Flip Flops
Beautiful place and great host. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get away for a weekend.

Cautela Bella Apartment
We had a very wonderful stay in Camden!! The apartment was spacious and had everything you needed. Very kind hosts and lovely area🩷💛🧡

Aldernest Loft -MDI -walk across the lawn to shore
The place was very beautiful. Its a perfect location for stay if you are planning to visit Acadia National Park. The place itself was very clean and well maintained. Kathleen was very helpful and responded quickly to our questions. They also have access to the shore at a 2 min walk which is a good spot to hangout during sunrise and sunset.

"The Overlook" Studio Apartment on Molasses Pond
I enjoyed a recent 2 night stay at Naomi’s place, and there was much to love about it! While it was definitely a hike to and from Bar Harbor, returning back to the privacy & peacefulness of this property in the evening made it absolutely worth while. Above all we greatly appreciated how clean the unit was upon arrival. The beautiful sunset views and access to kayaks to enjoy the pond were a major plus. The accommodations were exactly what we were looking for, and we’d definitely stay with Naomi again next time we visit the area!

Far From the Maddening Crowd
This is a great place to stay, even better than it appears in the photos. It was not just clean, it was immaculate - and for an extremely observant nurse - that was awesome. The unit had easy access with a slight gradient path and only two steps - which was very helpful for us as seniors. The firm bed was very comfortable. Barbara was responsive and thought of everything, including having delicious specialty coffee for us - Thanks. She even had a cooler in the closet for us to use when we went to Acadia National Park. Like I said, she truly thought of everything. If we return to this area of Maine, we would love to stay again. We enjoyed our stay.

Lakefront Log Cabin
We loved our week long stay! The cabin is awesome and location is perfect. We spent time at Bar Harbor and Acadia. The lake is beautiful and so peaceful. John and Maria were great.

Secluded Acadia Waterfront Stay on Historic Pier!
Had a great time. The house was clean and orderly. We had easy access to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, they were only 30-40 minutes away. We also enjoyed the very short walk to the water front to enjoy the views and the cool breeze off the water we even saw a lobster boat one evening! Definitely would recommend and stay here again!

2BR Apartment with Deck and Grill
The stay was great! Drove up from Ohio and after a very long day of driving, the place was relaxing and ready. The amenities were accurately described in the listing and reflected within. We enjoyed the unique aspects such as the frog decor and Orland decorations. Being in mid October, the heat inside was plenty to keep us warm. We had no issues whatsoever but it appeared that Vacasa was very responsive if any did arise. The highlight had to be the dock access to Heart Pond in the backyard. Caught many sunsets and sunrises there and it was beautiful. Great for stargazing too! Ellsworth is only a short drive for food/supplies. This was a great jumping off point to explore Acadia National Park!

Quiet apartment at Acadia National Park.
We wanted a relaxing and peaceful place to stay and Ferncrest was all of that! We enjoyed staying on the “quiet side” of Mount Desert Island. Yet it was close enough to Bar Harbor and the activities it offered. Coming back to Ferncrest in the evening was like coming home!

Lakefront Cottage on Tracy Pond, New Hampshire
Host was very friendly and informative but allowed us privacy as well. The cabin was charming, very clean and had more than what we needed for our stay. It was quiet and serene with beautiful views but close to shopping and dining establishments. We would highly recommend staying in this rental... it has it all!

Peaceful Branch Lake Cabin minutes to Acadia
We love this little spot! It’s beautiful and private.

Cottage on the lake
Kurt and Jackiee were incredibly helpful and friendly. We loved staying at their cozy little cottage that had great views of the nearby lake! Would recommend to others looking to stay in a more secluded area that is still a good distance from Acadia National Park.

My Blue Heaven
Debbie's place was lovely! Incredibly beautiful area, comfortable and cozy living room and good location. Both Bangor and Acadia aren't too far which is quite nice. The one downside is that the place is not within delivery distance for restaurants. But it's only a 20 minute drive to Ellsworth so it is easy to drive to restaurants! Would definitely stay there again.

Quiet lakefront cottage on Graham Lake
This rustic and cozy lakeside cabin is located next to a beautiful lake that offers scenic views and surrounded by lichen draped trees. Host Deb was very friendly and responsive.

Waterfront cottage on Chemo Pond, Maine, US
We had a fantastic time staying at Marta'a place. The view was incredible and the canoe was a plus! Everything exceeded our expectations, and the communication with Marta was prompt. Absolutely amazing location!

Kozy Kottage on Pushaw Lake
Bruce & Susan were so accommodating and gracious hosts. Property was delightful and fully equipped with all you could need.

Timberframe Cottage on Organic Farm
Staying on the farm was a blast! Our getaway weekend was so peaceful and I am so thankful this space is available for folks to enjoy. The loft was so cute and I would definitely stay here again.
