We used the Jarvis Homestead for our friends and family to stay the week of our micro wedding. This space was everything we needed it to be. It was very clean and well kept, has tons of space, and was a beautiful environment for a wedding reception afterward. It does have some quirks as it is an old home such as doors opening and closing well and light switches being finicky; however, we had no issues while we were there and would absolutely stay again.

My family of four had a wonderful stay at L’s over the Christmas holidays. The location is perfect- great view and within easy walking distance to great restaurants and walking trails!

Home in Bar Harbor
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviewsBar Harbor / In-Town 6BDRM with heated pool
If you’re looking to stay in Bar Harbor, this is the place! We felt very at home during our 1 week stay and walking to and from downtown Bar Harbor was easy and accessible. The house is also a 8 minute walk to the nearest grocery store so cooking your own home made meal was simple. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends and family and would stay here again!

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 29 reviewsAcadia get away.! With pool and hot tub
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!

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.

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 181 reviewsParker Farm House
The house is in a great location on a quiet road but close to many activities. The check in/out instructions were clear and easy. The beds were comfortable. Since there were 3 of us and 3 couches, we each enjoyed lounging on our own couch! We also appreciated the large entryway with seating so that we could remove our hiking boots and store our packs before entering the main house. It was a pleasant stay and we would consider staying again on future visits to MDI.

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.
Home in Trenton
5 out of 5 average rating, 15 reviewsLovely waterfront in Trenton.
The house and views are excellent, you can sit on the back deck or outside area and just gaze out at the view, see Bald Eagles fly over every day, even saw one grab a fish from the water. Very clean and well appointed with the essentials like detergents for laundry and dishwasher, garbage bags, slat, pepper and other cooking basics, foil and cling wrap, beach chairs. Overall I can say it is a very nice house, very clean. The location is 20 - 25 minutes from Bar Harbor and maybe 20 min to Acadia. We didn't mind this at all. We ate lobster at 5 different places, if you want the absolute best Lobster rolls go to the Travilin Lobster, there is one in Trenton and one in Bar Harbor, by far the best lobster roll. Oh, and probably as important as the house being very clean, the beds were very comfortable.

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 134 reviewsThelma's Garden Cottage
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!!
Home in Camden
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 130 reviewsCozy Cottage With River View
We really enjoyed our stay at Jeremy's cottage! The home is charming, cozy, and very well-appointed, with everything we needed – plenty of linens, kitchen supplies, cutlery, and more. The back porch overlooking the river or the breakfast nook were perfect spots for morning coffee, and the kitchen made it easy to cook meals with lots of space. The bedrooms were comfortable and made for a restful night's sleep. The location is fantastic too! Short walk into Camden for great food or shops but also centrally located to visit nearby by towns like Lincolnville, Rockport, and Rockland. Jeremy was a terrific host – friendly, responsive, and helpful. I left my yoga mat behind and he was kind enough to offer to ship back to me. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Camden and would definitely recommend this cottage!

4.81 out of 5 average rating, 126 reviews"The Red House" Island Adventure for 6 oceanfront
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

Home in Penobscot

Extraordinary, very cute cottage. It had everything your heart desires, just like at home. The location is great for excursions to Acadia National Park and other destinations in Maine. At night you could see great stars. Jenny was a super host and sweetened our arrival with a few fruits and muffins. The directions were also good, with the house number you can also find the cottage with Google Maps. We would always like to stay again!

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 41 reviewsNew Waterfront Home Close to Acadia with Hot Tub.
This Airbnb is BEAUTIFUL inside and out. We were a group of 3 couples and this was perfect for our weekend vacation. The view from the hot tub was incredible and the kitchen had everything we needed to make dinner. Beds were comfortable and the living room was spacious enough for 6! Thank you for the great experience!

This home was beautiful and the scenery amazing! Mark was exceptionally helpful for a senior that was not very tech savvy. He even called me to explain everything. I highly recommend this home for a very enjoyable, first class accommodation.

John's place is homey and comfortable. Sunshine coming through the windows into the roomy kitchen and dining room was a nice thing. Very responsive to inquiries. We would recommend John's place to anyone spending some time around Acadia NP.
