Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Hancock County

We came to Bar Harbor for the MDI Marathon, and this ended up the perfect location, just two blocks from the start line. Price-wise it was comparable to any hotels for the four of us and the full kitchen helped us save some time and money by prepping most of our own meals. Having laundry was a huge plus for a longer stay and being able to pack less. Everything was well-maintained and Sara gave us great info and local recommendations before our stay. Would definitely recommend!

Better than pictured and Christina was great! Will definitely stay again!

Our stay was absolutely perfect. Robard did everything he could to make us feel welcome. We had a few questions given that we were visiting in the off seasoning and he always responded quickly and helpfully. His place was clean and cozy!

Great stay with our pup Gus! Place was clean and organized! About 30 min away from local Walmart so not to far but overall peaceful and serene! Would definitely book in future!

We enjoyed our stay in Ellsworth! Everything was clean and as described. Brian was great at communicating before both check in and check out

"From my daughter: This is our 3rd trip to Acadia National Park, but the first time at this Air B&b. Originally it was supposed to be for 5 of us, but 3 couldn't make it, so it ended up just being my husband and I. The Air B&b is in a remote enough area that it is nice and peaceful, but still an easy 20-30 minute drive to almost anywhere on Mt. desert island. The house has so many thoughtful touches, like an area outside for a campfire, supplies for smores, basic seasoning and condiments, all the light switches labeled (so thankful for that!), etc. We did a grocery run our first day and came back to the house for almost all our meals. This was a cozy place and we'd recommend to anyone visiting Mt. Desert Island and would return here again if we come back in the future."

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.

A beautiful house in a beautiful location! Beth was wonderful to deal with and very communicative. She kept in touch with us prior to our trip, and she patiently answered any questions we had during the trip. The views from the patio and living room are fantastic, and the area is very quiet. Both the Park and Bar Harbor are a short drive a way. This is a great place to stay on a trip to Bar Harbor.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Shawn’s place. The location was great and we would definitely stay there again. The delicious welcome gift of baked goods and coffee was very thoughtful and appreciated.

我们送孩子去上学，就选在这里住了，靠近主路，也非常安静，房间看起来比照片上大，有冰箱微波炉电磁炉等便利设施，方便我们煮点方便面，烧点热水，躺在床上可以看到外边雪地里小松鼠，很舒服，能够住在这个历史悠久的老房子里，非常幸运，有些小问题，房东会及时回应，如果有机会，我们会再次住在这里。

Our stay was fantastic. The place was clean and laid out nicely. It was also close enough and an easy drive to Acadia National Park. Highly recommend, and I would definitely come back and stay here again!

We stayed at Norene's for a couple of days and we loved it there! the space was very cozy, felt like a home. It had all the amenities, the kitchen was particularly well stocked with coffee, sugar, creamers, etc. We had a bit of a trouble with the lock at the beginning but it was our fault and Norene was very helpful and very friendly helping us. The place was super well located and the area was very lively due to halloween. All in all, would recommend!

Great place to stay in Ellsworth. Very comfortable, walkable to down town and easy drive to Acadia.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! The location was amazing. Right off Main Street and totally walkable to anything in bar harbor with a parking space! It was on the right side of bar harbor to get to Acadia within 5 minutes. We loved all of the restaurants close by and the access to the park. The place was so comfortable and cozy! Beautifully decorated and warm after cold hikes in the park. We did not hear any noise at all from the hospital which is tiny compared to the hospitals in Virginia. I didn’t even notice it was there. Brianne was so kind and responsive and recommended lots of good hiking and dining options. I can’t wait to come back here again! If I could give this home 6 stars I would and I am usually a picky reviewer! We will definitely be back to the same house if we come back to Bar Harbor, which I hope we do! It’s a great base for exploring Acadia! The kitchen was well stocked and the bedroom was very comfortable. Thanks so much for sharing with us!

Nancy is a great host. Location is perfect for my needs and the place is very clean and comfortable.

Staying here to go into Acadia NP was the best decision of our whole trip. The place was clean and well cared for, and Renee and partner were super friendly. Renee had a ton of little things in the apartment that made the trip/stay so much better. She clearly thought this through very well. My family and I had a fantastic experience and will definitely stay here again if in the area.

Love this Condo. Superb location in Blue Hill Village, easily walkable to everything downtown. Modern and updated making it very comfortable. Well equipped with cleaning/cooking supplies so you can "live normally". The hosts are super responsive and helpful as well. Highly recommended.

We were very happy start to finish. The location was just so unique and incredible. Right on a working marina, but very quiet. Plenty to see and do nearby. Walk across the pier and buy live lobsters. Christie was extremely helpful and quick to respond when asked. Condo was very well done with plenty of touches to make it homey. A good value! If we come back to Maine, we’ll call her first.

We really enjoyed this cozy garage apartment! I love owls, so that was a bonus. The privacy offered by the blinds was nice (rare to find in an AirBnb). Comfy sofa, ample towels and all around great! Sadly, now that AirBnb has voiced its support for DOGE, I will likely no longer use to book, but I’d stay again.

This place was amazing! The host was very responsive and accommodating! The place had so many accommodations! The main house offered snacks for both humans and dogs! There was board games, a large fire pit area, and grill area. The host answered my many questions about local recommendations. The kitchen was fully equipped. This place is a great find and you will surely return home relaxed, refreshed, and recharged!

BEAUTIFUL landscape directly on a lake with access to fishing poles, kayaks, and canoes, we felt like we didn’t need to leave the property at all. Perfect location to visit Acadia and near by towns. I wish we could have stayed for twice as long. The condo itself seems to be brand new! The beds were comfortable and the decorations and big screen tv were a nice touch. We spent hours on the dock and in the lake (kayaks). Cannot wait to return to this slice of heaven.

The location and size of the unit for our needs was perfect. The staff was very helpful, knowledgable and friendly.

Beds and furniture were comfortable, it was clean and basic amenities were all stocked well! Great location for walking into downtown Bar Harbor, but also great location for driving into Acadia National Park without having to go through downtown!

Great, no frills stay. Easy check in and even easier check out. Derek was fast to respond when needed. Would stay again.
