Vacation rentals in Big Lake

Great stay! The apartment was clean and the hosts were always very responsive and flexible. It was about a 10-15 drive to get into Bar Harbor so not too bad. WiFi was alright but did the job - wouldn’t be strong enough for a work from home situation, but strong enough for a vacation where we didn’t need it too often.

We had a wonderful stay. The house was immaculate and Ruby was super responsive and helpful. Perfect for families with the open plan. Modern and well stocked. Thank you!

We went for a girls mini getaway on the off season and fell in love with this property. It was stunning, peaceful, and cozy. The house itself had all the necessities to cook and just relax if we wanted. Alice and her cohost were great! They provided snacks and ingredients to make smores. Also, I loved the binder provided that gave instructions for the property and recommendations for food/ activities in the surrounding community. I definitely hope to return in the future to enjoy the property more as we had rain but made the absolute best of it! If you have a smaller vehicle I would use caution with the driveway as it is quite steep descend to the house. Overall absolutely breathtaking 😍 property and fabulous hosts!

Beautiful location, absolutely stunning and peaceful. The host has instructions clearly laid out with multiple great recommendations. We didn’t bring our dogs but they are very well prepared for your furry companion with a nice fenced in yard, lots of outside toys and even a bed for them to rest in when the fun is over.

This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, the view to the Union river, and evergreen trees was absolutely gorgeous. The apartment was clean and well designed and had lots of space. A short walk to Josie‘s country store & Café every morning for breakfast was perfect. A quick drive into downtown Ellsworth, where there are lots of restaurants, shops and pubs, then a bit further to Acadia national park, roughly a half hour drive, in April. We loved hiking in Acadia on Bar Harbor Island. What a great visit to Maine!

I chose Michelle’s cottage because I wanted to be right on coast of ME. And everything-location, cottage, hosts FAR exceeded my expectations. Crossing the creek during low tide was less intimidating under Rose’s superb direction. Cottage had everything needed; was extremely comfortable; quaint and charming!!! PERFECT!!! Lucked out with spectacular sunny, warm weather for mid October. Only one day overcast! Appreciate being able to bring my pup! Hosts were very welcoming and helpful! Enjoyed walking the coast 3-4 times a day with pup! Spoiled by morning visits from grazing deer. Had fun collecting treasures from the sea! Rose was phenomenal and I appreciated all her help and suggestions. Carefully crossing the creek during low tide less intimidating under Rose’s careful guidance. Absolutely LOVED every second there. Am so grateful I got to enjoy and appreciate this slice of heaven. Definitely would recommend. Well worth the 6+ hour trip from my home. Look forward to returning.

Thank you for your hospitality! Great space for a group of us to share the night before a marathon. Plenty of rooms, a spacious kitchen for making food, and multiple bathrooms for getting ready!

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!

Would definitely recommend a stay here! The house is very clean and comfortable, and is in a great location to reach the shops as well as the lighthouse and beach. The house is well stocked with everything you need if you want to cook a meal, and the deck and hot tub were fabulous.
