Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Charming Quiet Cottage close to hiking & JXN Falls
A beautiful spot. Very cozy and quaint. The hot tub was wonderful. We'd love to return!

Cozy beach cottage with pool & hot tub
Lovely one night stay at this sweet little cottage! Grounds are well-kept, enjoyed morning coffee on the front porch. AC kept it nice and cool. Convenient location close to a great donut shop- Congdon’s and our favorite ice scream spot- Scoop Deck. Chloe is a gracious host and even granted us a late check-out!

Lakeside Cozy Cottage in Nature | Hot Tub
Cottage in Shapleigh a.k.a. CampTallPines exceeded our expectations. I was looking for a nice place as a mid-point to meet my adult daughter who lives in northern ME. I invited my mother (86) to join us. The cottage was recently renovated, the kitchen was perfect with all new appliances/gadgets, the bathrooms were beautiful, the beds were very comfortable and furnished with duvets covers and overall the cottage was homey with a beautiful mix of old and new. As for the outside, Christina and Liz have created a magical place for kids, young and old, to enjoy. We enjoyed a 55 degree day and walked to the lake, visited a maple farm, sat by the fire pit with wine, watched March Madness, and just enjoyed quality time together. It was perfect!

Hot Tub - Walk to the Beach - Mins to Mtns - Lakes
What a wonderful weekend stay! We arrived to the house with it fully prepped for us - heat already on (it was a cold weekend), bathroom set up, towels present, etc. We felt immediately comfortable. It was about a ~15-20 minute drive to any restaurant/main area. The outdoor hot tub was definitely the highlight (also set up for us prior). Watching the snow fall while comfortably sitting in the hot water/jets was fantastic. Kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, oil, spices, etc. - everything helpful for home cooking. Alexa was friendly, responsive, and flexible with us. It’s clear she’s experienced with hosting and making our stay a seamless experience. I could not recommend her home more (and would definitely go back in the fall for some quality beach time!).

Wells Maine Home with a View
Perfect place for a family getaway. Plenty of things to do in Wells, Kennebunk, and Ogunquit all close by. The cottage itself was very well equipped and we got to watch the most beautiful sunsets we have ever seen. The beds are a bit noisy but besides that everything was perfect.

Contemporary Cottage With Ocean View 13
Terrific stay! The cottage was modern, clean, convenient and lovely. The pools are great for kids, and the cottage is near to restaurants, beaches etc. Great place for a holiday.

Adorable cottage by Shorts Sands Beach
This cottage was the perfect weekend getaway for our family of 6 and 2 dogs. The fenced-in yard had plenty of space for our dogs to move around and play. The cottage was very clean, well-equipped, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. It was a short drive to Long Sands beach, which we had planned to visit often. Camille was also fast with communication. We definitely plan to stay here again in the future!

Vintage Maine 2 Bedroom Cottage
Beautiful place to stay!! Quintessential Maine. We had a great experience, made use of the cabin, pool, and picnic area while in town for a wedding—and a much better value than places the next town over!!

Cottage with antique charm view & river HSI Wi-Fi
Stephani was a great host! My friend group had a blast, the cabin was perfect and cozy especially after a day skiing at loon.

Sunny & private cottage in Lanesville Village
The cottage is cozy and comfortable, including the beds. It's in a quiet neighborhood yet very accessible to hiking trails, beaches, restaurants, and shops. Fiona was extremely friendly and helpful. She is definitely a Super Host! We would happy have stayed longer if we could have! For those who like to ride your bike: Rt. 127, the main road that goes around Cape Ann, is very narrow and has no shoulder, so I don't recommend planning to bike there.

Osprey Cottage, peaceful setting, walk to beach
Elizabeth was a wonderful host and her home is perfect for a peaceful, relaxing vacation. The house was spotless, well appointed, and very cozy. The short walk to the beach and town market is really convenient. Her rental is a perfect home base if you’re visiting Portland or exploring the Maine coast nearby.

Near Waterville | Lake Great Pond | Dog Friendly
We had a wonderful stay with our family and we were happy our dogs were welcome to come with us.

Pet Friendly Audubon Bring Your Fishing Gear!
What an amazing setting! Right on the water. We saw seals, osprey, and, we think, an eagle.Also the most beautiful sunrise. The house is cozy and comfortable and really really clean. We found everything we needed and some thoughtful extras. Tamara is an excellent host!

Our charming,oceanfront, Bradford point cottage
Just amazing!! This is the second time we have stayed at this air bnb! The cabin is quaint. You cannot beat the views!! It is just absolutely perfect!

LUX Private Island : April Special
This place more than lived up to the listing! I loved walking in and seeing a real home with quality furniture and appointments. There are some wonderful welcoming surprises I’ll not spoil. The place felt quiet, private and serene. I loved walking across the bridges to the little islands! It faces mountains and the pond. There weren’t neighbors while I was there but you can’t see them anyway. I was here for late winter and there lovely snow showers everyday enhancing the quiet. The cold weather made the deep soaking tub even more inviting and in indulged a few times!! Mary was extraordinary as a responsive throughout. I had minor questions. After many years as an air bnb client, I feel I’ve finally found my north woods retreat! I will return!

Waterscape Cottage - private waterfront
The ideal autumn getaway. A cozy cabin with a warm fire. The soothing sound of rain in the roof. Generous hosts and golden leaves. We loved our stay.

Tranquil waterfront cottage
This Lakeside Retreat was a perfect weekend escape for two couples. In late September, we seemed to have the pond to ourselves and enjoyed sharing time around the firepit overlooking the lake. The Bathroom was spacious and one level up from the bedrooms downstairs. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare an excellent meal. I would highly recommend this cabin to a a small group of friends or family looking for a great location near Portland and Lake area attractions.Our host Bobbi was very responsive.

Summer Cottage
Very comfortably furnished cottage with full kitchen and all amenities.Sue is great host. We have stayed with her twice and will so again.

Big Sebago Lake Rentals Waterfront w Private Beach
Beautiful location, perfect stay with amazing hosts! This was the perfect getaway for our family and we cannot wait to go back! The location can't be beat and Kate and Barry went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Relax by a Quiet Lake
Was a great place to get away from the city hustle and bustle and was a nice way to recharge and recenter

Cottage 3 - Year Round - Pet Friendly - 1 Bedroom
Nice and cozy cottage in Wolfesboro, NH. We stayed for one night but wish we stayed longer! There are lots of places surrounding the area and the town itself is very walkable.

Seaside Escape
The location was amazing. Just a few steps to Crescent Beach. I actually took my coffee down there and watched the sunrise in the morning. So beautiful. The cottage was clean and comfortable. Kristin was very responsive and helpful. Don't miss out on the clam chowder at the Lobster Pound less than 100 meters away. We'd definitely come again.

Cottage at Newfound lake with great view.
Bjorn and Elaine's stay was absolutely incredible! We went up to see foliage and it was the perfect stay for it! Overlooking the lake and the leaves was stunning! Close to many local restaurants and hiking spots, you couldn't ask for anything more!

Loons Rest- Maine Quintessential Cottage
Loons Rest was the perfect get away spot for our 40th anniversary. We were lucky to enjoy the swimming dock in mid September as the daytime temperatures were in the upper 70's to low 80's. The lake was pristine and was warm enough for swimming still. We enjoyed watching and hearing the loons as well as the eagles and kingfishers. We loved the outdoor fire pit when the evenings turned cool as well as the indoor fireplace which is a work of art! Also the was plenty of well seasoned firewood. Everything about this place is very well thought out. If they don't have it you don't need it! The kitchen was well equipped and we were happy to find that there was everything we needed to prepare pizzas to cook on our solo stove pizza oven that we had brought along! John is a great host and responded quickly to any questions we had. Would highly recommend Loons Rest to anyone who is looking for a peaceful and relaxing spot to vacation.
