Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Beachfront Guest Cottage - Year-round Hot Tub!
This house was very convenient - the owners seem to have thought of everything! I enjoyed the clear labels all around the house so we weren’t guessing about light switches; the robes & slippers provided for the hot tub; and the thoughtful extras like mouth wash, extra toothbrushes, plastic wrap, coffee, and a lot of other things that are handy to have but you might not bring along. Even headlamps with a label, “to look for crabs on the beach at night!” The guest house is very close to the main house but we didn’t run into anyone. The hot tub was great, and unfortunately we didn’t get to explore the waterfront on our overnight but the location was easy to get to. We went to Stonecutters for breakfast and got to see some local towns on the way. A fun place to visit.

Canoe House Bungalow and Spa Retreat ,Searsport
We enjoyed our weekend away at Mayya’s guest house! It was the perfect size for the two of us and we felt there were more than enough amenities to ensure our stay was cozy and peaceful! The add on of the hot tub was much needed and appreciated as well as it was getting chillier at night and it was the perfect addition! I would have liked to take advantage of the walking trail but the weather was rainy so we didn’t get to. We would definitely stay here again for a couple days and thank you Mayya for being a great host!

Lawn Cottage - Newly Renovated 2024
We had an amazing time at your cabin. Thank you so much for opening it up to guests. Loved waking up to the sunrises.

Nashport on the Penobscot
This was our second time staying here, my family and I love the tranquility of this little piece of heaven. Christopher’s home was beautiful, clean and well maintained.

Sunshine on the River
We had a wonderful time at this vacation house in Maine. The views were breathtaking and the cottage was cozy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Old Orchard Beach Cottage
This was perfect for me, my daughters and granddaughter!! It was close to so many things and to Old Orchard Beach and the Pier. We had a great time there and would stay there again in a heartbeat!! Thank you!

Megunticook Retreat
The perfect place to stay for a peaceful vacation - the home is extremely well appointed and had everything we could possibly need and more. The lake is even more beautiful than the photos and we enjoyed the kayaks and hot tub each day we were there. We would highly recommend.

Stonington Harbor Cottage - Vacation / Remote Work
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!

Cottage on Todd Bay
Our group of 4 had a wonderful stay here. It had everything we needed and John was extremely helpful. We cooked several meals and visited nearby attractions.

Osprey Cottage, peaceful setting, walk to beach
Elizabeth was a wonderful host and her home is perfect for a peaceful, relaxing vacation. The house was spotless, well appointed, and very cozy. The short walk to the beach and town market is really convenient. Her rental is a perfect home base if you’re visiting Portland or exploring the Maine coast nearby.

Camp Wigwam
Great person, she really went over and above what she would have been expected. The dock with boats were great, my boys love the lake. The place was clean and very well decorated. Lots of extra appliances. Washer and dryer is very nice when you are on a lake. Nothing to complain about. If you stay here and especially if you have kids you will be very happy.

Lily Pond Studio Cabin #4
We loved our experience at our cozy, stand alone cabin. The room is spacious and has everything you need. We would stay again for sure!

Near Waterville | Lake Great Pond | Dog Friendly
We had a wonderful stay with our family and we were happy our dogs were welcome to come with us.

Pet Friendly Audubon Bring Your Fishing Gear!
What an amazing setting! Right on the water. We saw seals, osprey, and, we think, an eagle.Also the most beautiful sunrise. The house is cozy and comfortable and really really clean. We found everything we needed and some thoughtful extras. Tamara is an excellent host!

Penobscot Bay. Sat-Sat. One week min.
What a wonderful cabin. Exactly as described. The sun rises over the Penobscot River were truly incredible. We made sure to brew our coffee, bundle up, and head out to the sun rise. You can also stay indoors as well and still see the sun rise. The fire pit table was also a nice touch. Plenty of Adirondack chairs for viewing the river including birds and a few seals. The grill was brand new and worked great. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Amazingly the WiFi worked great and we also were able to access our streaming channels as well. Given the remote location, it was a pleasant surprise to see it work so well. There was plenty of hot water for showers and washing dishes. The propane heater and gas fire place did a great job of quickly warming up the cabin when needed. There were also new window A/C units, but we didn’t need to use them. There were also plenty of towels/blankets. No hair dryer, but we air dried. Paul was very responsive.

Tranquil waterfront cottage
This Lakeside Retreat was a perfect weekend escape for two couples. In late September, we seemed to have the pond to ourselves and enjoyed sharing time around the firepit overlooking the lake. The Bathroom was spacious and one level up from the bedrooms downstairs. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare an excellent meal. I would highly recommend this cabin to a a small group of friends or family looking for a great location near Portland and Lake area attractions.Our host Bobbi was very responsive.

Cheerful 1 Bedroom Cottage Steps From The Ocean
Wonderful place clean and very cozy house I indicate

Bright, clean, private cottage near Higgins Beach!
We loved our stay at the Gull Cottage!! Karen and Steve were great hosts, incredibly friendly, helpful, and responsive. The cottage was well stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The guide book and guest book were great touches as well, and we would happily stay again next time we come up to Maine! We could not recommend the Gull Cottage more if you’re looking for a great and cozy place to stay near Portland!

Exquisitely Modern Maine Cottage @Diagonair
We were very comfortable in Ann’s home. It is quite beautifully designed and furnished. Very quiet in the woods. The home was very functional too; it had everything we needed and was easy to settle in. It seems that Ann has given a lot of thought to what her guests will need - way more than what one would expect.

Owl Glass Cottage
Wow! Annie’s cottage is nothing short of amazing. It was absolutely beautiful and the perfect intimate stay my boyfriend and I were looking for. The surrounding area is beautiful as well! The space was perfect for the two of us and so so peaceful!

Hidden Haven A Rustic Retreat In St. George, Maine
Beautiful cabin in quiet and peaceful surroundings. Closes to attractions and multiple small towns with things to see and discover. Michelle and Dan were great hosts, everything we needed was in the cabin! They had a book of area things to do. They answered right away when we texted. I would definitely recommend their place!

Oak Grove Cottage at Sennebec Pond
I have zero complaints about Gordon's home. Everything was accurately described and the property was beautiful! it is right on the pond and the pictures do it justice. Yes, it's a little small and gets cold in the winter but it's worth it if you want to stay somewhere pretty without breaking the bank. Also, he has 3 heaters. We didn't leave them on because we were gone a lot of the time but it probably would have stayed warm if we did. This is really a great property for a couple! Highly recommended.

Saco Cozy Cottage! Minutes From Old Orchard Beach
The cottage was perfect for our needs and had everything! Auria was extremely helpful and responded to us quickly! I would definitely stay there again!
