Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Knox County

This house is adorable. There is a lovely deck off the kitchen and another one upstairs with views of Eggemoggin Reach. The house is peaceful and a nice layout with the two bedrooms on one side of the house and two on the other.

This is a small cottage right ON the “Old Harbor” in Vinalhaven. The view from the deck is just stunning. We had everything we needed, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean and comfortable. We would definitely come back!

We had such a good time! Lots of space, kid friendly, well equipped kitchen, beautiful location by the water. Host communication was great. Hope to stay again sometime!

It was great and work out well for us.

We had such an awesome time at the farmhouse! North pond is less than a half mile walk down a path on the property and it was excellent to fish, canoe and just hang out on the small beach. The house was clean and had all of the amenities we needed for our nearly month long stay. Rockland, Rockport and Camden are within a 20 minute drive so restaurants and stores are super close by. This was an amazing place to home base out of as we explored Maine and house hunted for our forever home. The hosts were so kind and very responsive to any questions we had! We highly recommend this house!

We had a wonderful time exploring the Maine coast from this central location at Owls Head. The house was very clean and comfortable, and very close to Rockland for restaurants and shopping. The lobster was a hit! I didn’t realize the included lobster would be delivered live. But Emily gave easy steaming instructions, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Easy, fun and delicious! Emily did a great job taking care of us.

Crissy and this beautiful cozy cabin in the woods, are both wonderful! Arrangements couldn’t be easier, lots of recommendations for things to do, but just hanging out in the home is nice too. Great place to unwind.

This house is remarkably beautiful and welcoming. The walls of windows welcome sunshine throughout and the private views of the water are unmatched. Artistic details abound in the interior - like Anthro and West Elm had a baby. We vacationed with our toddler and my in-laws and we all had ample space to gather, as well as disperse. Highly recommend! Local recs: The Activity Shop for kayak rental delivery, pizza from Blaze, coffee from Bucklyn, brunch at Humblebee Cafe, sundries from Blue Hill Co-op, blueberry pie from Mount Desserts (on way to Acadia).

We got a very rainy week in Maine but still enjoyed the beautiful, comfortable and well stocked house, views, decks and incredible garden. Beautiful restaurants, bookstores and wine and antique shops near by. Hope to return to very soon.

Cannot imagine a better spot to relax with our family. A lucky spot for the owners and luckier for us that they share the rental with strangers.

We had a great stay. Good location to visit surrounding local towns. The pool, deck, and yard allowed for a lot of fun outside. The yard was nicely mowed and the pool was very clean!

This is the loveliest house on a large lot with a wonderful view. We so enjoyed our stay and we're grateful for a warm, snug house on some cold nights.

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.

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.

The little cottage in Stonington was perfect in every way! Maggie was wonderful and came up to introduce herself when we arrived. The accommodations were charming and quite enjoyable (very clean!!). And even with quite a bit of rainy weather, whether we cooked breakfast and stayed in to read, or walked the 5 minutes into town or around the neighborhoods or visited numerous nature parks around Deer Isle, we loved all of it!! The cottage sits among such beautiful gardens (still getting ready to bloom!) and natural rock formations and even the local deer showed up to visit:) It was a stellar get-away!! Many thanks to our host!

This is our second stay at Fox Bluff in the last eight months, and we plan to come back many more times. It’s a beautiful home, and Lo is a brilliant host. She checks in regularly to make sure you have everything you need, but isn’t intrusive. The house is extremely well equipped, but uncluttered and airy. Secluded and peaceful, but not remote. There are a few nice restaurants and shops ~5 minutes drive away, in Brooklin, and then larger Blue Hill is a pleasant 20 minute drive: there’s a top-notch independent bookstore, Blue Hill Books; the Blue Hill Co-Op; excellent coffee at Bucklyn Coffee; nice restaurants and shops, etc. There are great trails and shoreline spots all across the peninsula, plus kayaking, sailing, beachcombing, etc. So many stars at night! We’ve always felt comfortable, safe and welcome in the house, and with Lo as our host. It’s our special place and will become yours, too.

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!

This was a return visit to Butch’s beautiful property and the Owenta Cottage. Once again, both the cottage and the surrounding landscape afforded us a peaceful relaxing week unplugged from the chaos of city life. It is not far if you want to make the drive to Acadia, a day trip is easy. In addition to our time on the property, we had a wonderful dinner at the Arborvine restaurant in Blue Hill, tremendous pizza from Blaze, and explored the Blue Hill bookstore. Thank you Butch for your hospitality once again and for sharing this wonderful space with us!

This adorable addition to the family’s quaint farmhouse was cozy, warm and immaculately clean. Every detail was spot on. Kitchen was fully functional, as if you were in your own home. Luxurious linens and towels. Bed was very comfortable. Met all of our expectations and more! Beautiful property and close to Camden Harbour.

Our stay at Linda’s was perfect. The setting was quiet, secluded, peaceful and relaxing. Easy access to Camden, Rockport and Rockland—the perfect location. Very clean with many amenities. Linda met us on arrival and showed us around. She had fresh fruit and muffins for us and gave good restaurant and activity recommendations. She was friendly, helpful, and attentive to our needs. She is a super host and a super lady! We highly recommend her and will stay with her again on our next visit to Camden!

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!

What a beautiful and completely unique home. So glad Johnathan was able to share this amazing place with us. We had my sisters bachelorette weekend here, and she said it was exactly what she wanted. We actually spent more time enjoying the home than we thought. We did a lobster bake down by the shore, watched the sunrise, and hunted constellations at night. A perfect weekend spent on the lake in Autumn. Does it get any better? Johnathan was always there to help, and so friendly and caring. We appreciated all the family history, and every cozy detail of his home. We were sad to leave, but maybe we will have a reunion in the future here! I hope so!
