Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Deer Isle

Seven stars out of five! We have stayed in numerous places in Maine over the years, and given a lot of five star reviews. This one surpasses them all, hence the off the charts grade. It is incredibly well provisioned, spotless, spacious, inviting, and has an enormous porch with a view so lovely it looks fake. You can't even hear your neighbors, let alone see them. We heard loons, crows, and one very belligerent owl, but not once did we hear our neighbors. The only way you will know the tenant is home, is that a car will park opposite on the side of the house from you. The fire pit makes it easy and convenient to host a fire, even if it is only for 45 minutes or so. Kayaks are provided along with life jackets. At night you can see millions of stars. Place is so peaceful and comfortable, we almost didn't make it into the park haha. We will definitely be back!

This was one of best AirBnB experiences any of us had ever had! The house is adorable and sparkling clean. We had thoughtful and attentive hosts in a beautiful town in a beautiful state. On one of the best nights of our stay we cooked in using a remarkably well equipped kitchen, ate dinner in the lovely yard at the picnic table and sat by the fire pit talking into the night, firewood provided by Tammie. It was a magical. We would come back in a heartbeat.

We were traveling up the east coast for 8 days with many stops along the way. This stay was by far the most like “home.” We were able to fully relax and enjoy the scenery! Beautiful home and very clean.

My cousin and I spent a week at holly's house. We made our day trips from there. All the sights were easily and quickly accessible by car from there. Whether in the north, south, east or west of Maine. We enjoyed spending our evenings in a fully equipped house. From check-in to check-out, everything was uncomplicated. We really enjoyed our time there.

The cabin was peaceful and had a very at-home feel to it. The beds were firm yet comfortable, there was a washer and dryer which was very helpful for our family of 4 and our week long stay. Plenty of towels and blankets were provided as well as basic necessities such as soaps, kitchen utensils and everything needed for lake activities including fishing, kayaking and swimming. I will say you may want to stop and grab some bug spray on your way in. The owners were kind enough to give us a can when they came down to offer us help with our luggage. The owners were sweet and we loved meeting them. We would love to be back ❤️

This place was very nice.. The kitchen was one of the best stacked kitchen I have seen.. It was a straight 40 min drive to Acadia Park. It was a straight drive. So it was worth it. Close to Bar Harbor and Bass Harbor. The house instructions were great. Easy and fast to communicate with host. The host was very helpful to give tips about the area. Very clean house. You do hear road traffic noise from house. It did not bother my wife. But I am a light sleeper so I was aware of it. But still worth it. Host has firewood for sell on property to do fire in fire ring. We did not have fire but nice activity to have available. Very nice and welcoming house. You will enjoy your stay there. Host was very friendly.

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!

We had a wonderful time in Dedham and the Narrows Lake House was a great home base. The lake is absolutely beautiful, and the house is relatively close to Ellsworth and Bangor, as well as Acadia. Really nice place to wake up every morning (with the added plus of a very friendly dog named Miss Aspen who will definitely say hi!). The house is pretty far back on a long and narrow gravel road, so it's not particularly walkable and you'll want to have a car that's at least a little bit suited for it. Our rented minivan was just fine but an older vehicle or one with dim headlights might make it a little tricky. The floors are also quite thin and sound travels downward, so if you have kids or louder members of your group, you'll want to have them stay in the basement if possible. Finally, Colleen was a kind and attentive host! She reached out before the stay, which was very appreciated, and is delightful to talk to. You'll be very well taken care of if anything does happen.

Very nice little apartment in a quiet and woodsy neighborhood in Southwest Harbor, a very short drive from plenty of restaurants and so forth, and also convenient for exploring the rest of MDI. The apartment was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, and Caroline was responsive and very friendly, as were the rest of her family. Would definitely stay there again.

Great place to stay for a few days and explore the area! The space was beautiful and cozy.

Beautiful and cozy place and very responsive and accommodating host. Place is 30 mins drive from bar harbor and Acadia . The river down the house is an additional beauty in its own. The place had everything you need. The care the host took for arranging everything is really appreciated.

Such a cute place to stay near Bar Harbor and Acadia! The dogs were adorable! Perfect place to stay after a long day of exploring.

This was our second stay at the Cottrell House. The location can’t be beat. It’s nestled off the main street with access to the river while within easy walking to stores and restaurants. The apartment is quiet and clean. Lissette is a wonderful host.

The place was amazing, such a great find! The hosts laid out check-in and check-out instructions very clearly and offered an abundance of amenities to make our stay more enjoyable. They offered toiletries, tide pods, cooking spices, coffee, books- the list could really go on and on. It really felt like a home away from home! Thank you to our wonderful hosts, we hope to visit again!!

I cannot say enough about Nancy, the unit I stayed in, or her hospitality! This apartment was perfect and cozy for my visit, with lots of personal touches and extras - if you need it, she’s already thought of it and has it ready for you. She was also very accommodating when my flight was cancelled and I had to shift my days around a bit. The personal touches were perfect - I had farm fresh eggs for breakfast and some delicious muffins too. A wonderful stay, thank you! I will most definitely be back! ❤️

Absolutely loved our stay here at the Acadian Rose!! Would definitely stay again if I was back in the area and would recommend for friends. The beds were extremely comfortable and it was in a great location to get to Acadia National Park and other sites we were planning to see. There were many special touches like snacks, games, and loved the decor!!

Our stay at the cabin was perfect! My boyfriend and I wanted somewhere we could stay with our dog and go hiking in Acadia National Park. The cabin is a short drive to many of the best hiking trails and only a 25 min drive to Bar Harbor. It’s in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood that we were able to walk our dog around. The cabin itself was the perfect size for us and was very comfortable. The grill was great and we cooked out on it almost every night. We had everything we could think of there, and it truly felt like home for the week that we were there. The house manual had great recommendations for the area. We can’t wait to come back.

Connor was an AMAZING host! From the very beginning, he was always very responsive, and was consistently available to answer my questions promptly. His cabin on the lake was so cozy, it truly felt like our home away from home. It was beautifully decorated, peaceful, serene, well-stocked with anything that one could need. His recommendations were extensive and were very much appreciated. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and really loved being able to stay there with friends for a few days before departing for another excursion. It gave us time to celebrate and make some great memories with them - something that we will always treasure! The worst thing about this cabin? - Having to leave it in the rearview mirror! Connor, thanks so much for sharing your beautiful cabin with us. You can count on us to be back in the future! Thank you!

A great private place to stay when visiting Acadia! Only about 40 minutes away from Bar Harbor.

A lovely spot for a weekend getaway in nature! Denise was super nice and the cabin was quiet, peaceful, rustic, and surrounded by trees. Excellent price for the area and her restaurant just up the road had delish food, I highly recommend checking it out. Would definitely stay here again 😊

George’s cabin was a true marvel. Cozy, private, and located right by Rockport, Rockland, and Camden landmarks and restaurants. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by nature, it was a perfect getaway. The space itself was extremely clean and had everything we needed throughout our stay. I highly recommend it to those comfortable with the outdoors and looking for a relaxing cabin experience. Make sure to check out the outdoor shower and fire pit! Would definitely visit again!

AMAZING spot for a weekend getaway! Had a great time and the place was fantastic!

Old school cabin vibes! Loved this place and we will be back to spend much longer than our short 2 days. I loved having a fire going after a day in the woods and hopping into a cozy bed. It was too cold for us to go swimming- but their were canoes, kayaks, row boats and other water crafts to choose from. Beautiful and rustic. Clean and comfortable. Also we left something behind and they shipped it the next day . Thank you!

Kelly's cabin was a very quiet and peaceful place where we were able to enjoy the beach right on the property, watch the sunset and the changing water levels on the shore. The cabins are about a 45 minute drive from Acadia and Bar Harbor which are a must for a long or short vacation in Maine. Our cabin was simple but had everything we needed and Kelly was very responsive with any questions we had.
