House vacation rentals in Deer Isle

I chose the place to stay for a reunion with two close friends I had not seen in ten years. The three of us decided it was time for a "ladies only" vacation where we could relax and spend time making new memories together. Staying at Ryan's house meant we had a wonderful hot tub to soak in and comfortable furnishings that included a massage chair. If we had chosen to have our reunion later in the summer the in-ground swimming pool would have been the perfect way to spend an afternoon. We enjoyed our morning coffee and conversation sitting beside the pool and it looked really clean and inviting (just a bit cold). The neighborhood was quiet, and people we saw were very friendly. We spent time in downtown Bangor visiting the shops, and ate in awesome restaurants. Ryan made sure we had everything we could possible need, and it was the perfect spot to spend time with old friends.

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!

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

My return visit to the Boathouse was even lovelier than I hoped it would be. The location can't be matched by anything else I've seen. I enjoyed a September visit with my dog and was lucky to have pristine weather. I lived a very simple and healthy outdoors life and came home the better for it. The Boathouse is true to its description: it is simple and rustic and uncomplicated but well-equipped, and is perfect for one-and-dog, or for two people. A little coming-and-going from the neighboring houses meant that I didn't feel isolated. Margaret is truly an exceptional and friendly host who communicates promptly and clearly. I almost hesitate to share "my" Boathouse location with too many of my back-home friends because it feels so intimate and special. I already want to be back there. I offer my deep thanks to Margaret and to the place that I could - briefly - call home.

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!

Worth the price.. place is perfect for family getaway! We experience the best sunset just 3mins away from the house. Host is very proactive... Thank you for the amazing stay!

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.

We loved our stay here! Jana was very accommodating for 2 infants, helping us get extra supplies to make travel to the location easier. This location is perfect. Everything is walkable and you don’t have to worry about parking. Highly recommend. Easily the best air bnb we have stayed at.

Great communications and arrival instructions. The home was well prepared and clean. Everything was as described. There was plenty of room for our party of seven, and we loved the location: bike rental, coffee shop, restaurants on the same block, and the Bar Harbor businesses a short walk away. Also, a quick drive to all our favorite trails and sites in Acadia National Park. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful week stay celebrating our one year wedding anniversary. Samuel and Isabel and were wonderful hosts! The icing on the cake was being greeted by their sweet labs, Enzo and Stella. Our two year old daughter always had a smile on her face every time she got to see them. She poured all her love (and many hugs) to the two of them. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Mount Desert area look no further! Their guest home was beautiful, quiet, and serene. We hope to come back next year!

lovely family home. Had every thing you would need. rules are explicit. it may be helpful to know that the one bathroom is on the second floor.Although family is not in the area, they were responsive in a short period of time. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

For my husband and me this place was perfect! Simple, clean, very homey. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials (and more) and even spices, etc. We went to Acadia to hike and LOVED the location! Very easy access to trails, yet not too far for those who want to access downtown Bar Harbor. Allison was very responsive, kind, and helpful and gave us some great recommendations! We loved hiking Acadia so much and would love to return. If we do, we’ll definitely stay at Thelma’s Cottage!!

Jeremy and Ellen are fantastic hosts. Very communicative during booking and prior to arrival with suggestions of what to do (we were travelling from the UK). We stayed for 16 nights and the house felt like home - it has everything you need. Absolutely fantastic place to stay and we really recommend it.

We have been going to this area of Maine for over fifty years. I found this gem several years ago and haven’t stayed anywhere since. I find it to be peaceful, walkable to the center via footbridge, it’s all that we want. Kathy is a great host, quickly responds to any questions or needs you may have. We always know we will have a great experience staying here.

Loved staying at this cabin! I was a last minute booking and the hosts were super nice and accommodating. Would recommend these hosts and this cabin to everyone!!

A group of us stayed at Camp Lamoine and were impreased with this property! It was close to Acadia National Park and other areas we decided to go. Spectacular yard and even had a place for a campfire! Comfortable inside and would stay again. Thanks!

Very nice place to stay big nice and clean recommended this place to everyone looking for a good place big and clean this the right place

We stayed for 4 nights over Memorial Day weekend. The house was extremely clean and comfortably large, a perfect base for us to go explore Acadia National Park. The two large full bathrooms were a bonus, and the kitchen was nice and spacious too. Brian was very responsive from beginning to end. Overall, the two of us (humans) and our dog really enjoyed our stay!

This was by far one of the cleanest Airbnb’s we have stayed at. There are many other great attributes about the house, but I needed to state that one first! This place was amazing. It sits over looking the water, and every view from the living areas downstairs to the bedrooms upstairs had a spectacular view to look out at everyday! Even on the days it rained, the views were still lovely. We stayed with our two adult daughters and their husbands, so there were six of us. We never felt crowded. There is a dock that you can walk down to (a bit of a drop/climb, over 90 steps I believe), and most of our group enjoyed going down to the water. One of our son-in-laws is a fisherman and he caught some smaller mackerel off the dock (you need a license), and chose to throw them back. Also there is a family of seals that lives in the water right where the house is. There is a viewing scope on the enclosed porch and we were able to see them with that. Lastly, WiFi is limited as is cell reception.

Great stay. Love, love, love the back deck. Like being in the woods.

Loved staying at the Treehouse! Anne was incredibly helpful ahead of our stay, sharing a number of great local recommendations for restaurants, activities, and hiking options. Very responsive leading up to and during our stay, which was great. The area is beautiful and location was great for us to travel all around Mount Desert Island. Definitely recommend walking down to the beach to watch the sun rise, maybe even a cold plunge! Thanks, Anne!
