Family-friendly vacation rentals in Deer Isle

Lori’s is exactly what we need while visiting family over a holiday. She is very gracious to host us over Thanksgiving as the last occupants of the year. Even during a snow storm, her place is cosy and beautiful. This is our second year coming, and we love it every time. We would recommend it for those looking for a charming getaway from busy life. Thanks 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.

Lovely home, very comfortable and nicely decorated. The kitchen is the best stocked one we have ever experienced at a rental house and had everything we wanted and needed. The bed was very comfortable. Our pups felt right at home and enjoyed walks through the ample yard. Dwayne and Pati are great hosts and very responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

The oceanfront home was exactly as described. The lower floor had a great open layout with fantastic views. The layout of the rest of the house was excellent with all guests having plenty of space. The yard is very well kept and great access to the waterfront. The upstairs bedrooms had amazing views of the water which bestowed some wonderful sunrises.

Peaceful Maine beach cottage with walkable access to a private beach. About an hour from Acadia and Bar Habror. Plenty of space, all the necessary amenties and then some, at this quaint property. We had a great time and the host is friendly and responsive.

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.

Lori was an amazing host. check in was really easy. she was very responsive through messaging. she had started the wood stove before we had got there so the cabin was nice and warm. everything was clean and comfortable. would absolutely stay again

We had the best time! The two separate cottages provided were fantastic. Well appointed with a nice country vibe. Never turned on the TV. Just played cards, ate and talked. Very relaxing. We brought our boat and it was so convenient to tie up at Josée’s dock. The fishing was great too! I highly recommend.

Large home with great common areas for larger group. Off street parking. Location is a short walk to downtown Camden. Beds were comfortable. Was there with a group of 5 for Christmas by the Sea weekend and it worked out well.

This was hands down the best place we have ever stayed both on AirBnB and through other platforms. Mark & Kathy were so incredibly kind. The house is private with stunning water views and so clean and comfortable. The home was truly amazing. I can’t say enough about this place and the hosts. Everything was perfect and while we typically go somewhere new every travel, this has us already thinking about coming back just to enjoy it again! It’s close to Acadia though with how busy Acadia is I recommend visiting Schoodic Peninsula and the other preserves in the area. Sunset here was spectacular.

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.

Am already planning another trip to ME partly just to stay at this gem of a place! Incredibly cozy cabin/rustic home type feel with fresh eggs provided by the hosts. Very well stocked kitchen with cooking utensils, seasonings and a dishwasher. Very responsive, friendly hosts who even called about ETA so that they could start the fireplaces in time :) Not the largest space for common spaces but very well decorated + cozy, great for a relatively large group (3 pairs). Bedroom spaces are a-plenty

I wrote this while on GCI! Enjoy! The Winds changed without a word. The Wind changed and so did the temperature down seven degrees. It had been so quiet. It had taken a little time to get used to the silence once we arrived on the island. Eventually the silence was replaced by a constant easterly wind as the September temperature reminded me that summer here was wanning. Fall begins today, right on que and even though I felt in isolation I did not feel alone, as the winds, for sure, were making sounds like peoples chatter and for a moment I had to turn my head and listen to make sense of the mystery and the wonder I've experienced through mother nature. Look here and listen. Take a moment and live in it. There is so much to gain if you can just stop and listen. F.Michael Sokasits September 22, 2024

Cute little cabin in the woods!! Super clean, check in was very easy. Nichole was very easy to communicate with. The cabin was perfect for a quick weekend. We would definitely stay again!

Aaron's place was fantastic for our party of 6 (my partner and me, our kids, her parents). The house was located perfectly on the North end of Mt. Desert Island by Hadley Point Beach (where we were lucky to catch both a meteor shower and the Northern Lights.) While the lower level had a separate entrance, the kids appreciated the additional privacy/area away from adults. The entire house was clean and the beds were very comfortable. All of the amenities (well stocked kitchen, two bathrooms, washer/dryer, patio) were much appreciated. We'd definitely stay again when visiting Acadia.

Lura’s place was dreamy. Everything about it, from the campfire to the upstairs bedroom. We had also forgot to bring certain things and this house had EVERYTHING we needed. Only 20 min away from Bar harbor… 10/10

Had a wonderful family trip at Samoset Resort. Lovely golf course, clubhouse with restaurant’s and a gorgeous pool. Convenient location to Camden and Rockport where we enjoyed many restaurant’s overlooking the harbor, shopping, Farnsworth Museum as well as a sunset boat tour.

We found the home clean and welcoming. There was plenty of room for all of us and we enjoyed the back deck very much. The kitchen was well equipped and although we did not do any cooking, if we had, everything was there for us. We really liked how private the home was. Had the weather been warmer we definitely would have checked out the pool. It is also very close to Thomaston, Rockland and Owls Head. So much to do in this area. We would recommend this home to anyone who wants a quiet retreat in Maine that is close to the coast.

We have a family of 5 and This was our First time in Acadia. This is Really a magical place. We are in the mid atlantic and we flew into Bangor airport which was easy and worth it. This condo was an excellent location for our family as we enjoyed the quiet side of bar harbor. Lot of under rated things to do on this harbor. The owners were very responsive and have everything we needed at the house. The house was set up well with an open plan and several decks to look out to southwest harbor. The space has all you need and the kitchen was equipped to cook your own meals. I highly recommend cooking or eating at home during the peak summer tourist dates as it is way over priced and also our experience most restaurants/ places were just over rated. I dont often write reviews but we liked the location, property, and the owners enough that i felt compelled to do so.

Three girlfriends and I stayed at Hillside for a week. The setting and location were absolutely beautiful. It was so quiet and peaceful and I loved walking the trail. The house was roomy and comfortable. We highly recommend!!

Bautiful waterfront cottage close to downtown Belfast. We come to Belfast annually and it's always a struggle to find a waterfront cottage that is pet friendly. We chose this location because we don't vacation without our four-legged companion, Benji the Belgium Malinois. The location was great; at low tide we could walk on the beach and Benji could run. It felt very private here despite being on the hotel grounds. it was also nice to be able to use the hotel sauna and pool. The hotel itself is a bit out-dated, but the cottage was furnished in modern style. At night we played board games. We always enjoy a fresh lobster from Young's which was right down the road. We will likely stay here again.
