House vacation rentals in Harrington

I chose the place to stay for a reunion with two close friends I had not seen in ten years. The three of us decided it was time for a "ladies only" vacation where we could relax and spend time making new memories together. Staying at Ryan's house meant we had a wonderful hot tub to soak in and comfortable furnishings that included a massage chair. If we had chosen to have our reunion later in the summer the in-ground swimming pool would have been the perfect way to spend an afternoon. We enjoyed our morning coffee and conversation sitting beside the pool and it looked really clean and inviting (just a bit cold). The neighborhood was quiet, and people we saw were very friendly. We spent time in downtown Bangor visiting the shops, and ate in awesome restaurants. Ryan made sure we had everything we could possible need, and it was the perfect spot to spend time with old friends.

The house was perfect for us. Very clean and organized. Great host always responded in a timely manner. Was only about a 30 to 40 minute drive to Acadia National Park & Bar harbor, depending on traffic it could take longer. If we ever make it back to Maine I would definitely stay at the Higgins Retreat again. Thanks again Richard & Tina.

Thank you Christina! Great weekend stay for UMaine graduation. Great location from campus and stores for the things we forgot (haha).

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 had a wonderful stay. The property was great and Lacresha was very responsive. I would definitely recommend staying there

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!

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!

We had a great stay at this house! Plenty of beds for everyone. Convenient to get to Acadia and bar harbor with a short drive!

Worth the price.. place is perfect for family getaway! We experience the best sunset just 3mins away from the house. Host is very proactive... Thank you for the amazing stay!

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.

Amazing and beautiful place! Kitchen has species, butter and other nice little things! Just I just wish the residents were allowed to use the fireplace, it's real, not imitation.

Such a great value for a unique, comfortable and HUGE space. This is our second time staying in this compound (we stayed at the Station House a few years ago) and the location & cost can’t be beat.

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.

The house was in the perfect location to walk to anything in downtown Bar Harbor. We were there out of season so parking was free and plentiful if you needed it. However during peak season, parking can be costly and difficult to find so being able to walk to everything is such a bonus and necessary. Grocery store was a quick 5 minute walk. About 10-15 minute walk to downtown restaurants and shops. There are even some restaurants right next door to the house. Bike shop across the street. One of the main entrances to Acadia is a five minute drive. Regarding the house itself, beds and other furnishings were comfortable. The house was equipped with everything you need, except maybe a Keurig. (We knew this ahead of time, so it wasn’t a problem). It was nice to have two full bathrooms for our party of five. Great water pressure and hot water with the rain shower head in first floor bathroom! I wouldn’t hesitate to book this house again!

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!!

Jeremy and Ellen are fantastic hosts. Very communicative during booking and prior to arrival with suggestions of what to do (we were travelling from the UK). We stayed for 16 nights and the house felt like home - it has everything you need. Absolutely fantastic place to stay and we really recommend it.

Our family and I had a wonderful stay at Jackies, we are all originally from maine, and her home gives you everything great about maine. We really felt at home, it snowed christmas eve which made it even more beautiful ( The driveway was plowed out early as well). I brought a small christmas tree with us on our trip up, and when we walked in, the place was decorated for christmas, which was just amazing and so thoughtful. We definitly plan on staying again, the next time we are back in maine. Thank you again Jackie!

We have been going to this area of Maine for over fifty years. I found this gem several years ago and haven’t stayed anywhere since. I find it to be peaceful, walkable to the center via footbridge, it’s all that we want. Kathy is a great host, quickly responds to any questions or needs you may have. We always know we will have a great experience staying here.

A group of us stayed at Camp Lamoine and were impreased with this property! It was close to Acadia National Park and other areas we decided to go. Spectacular yard and even had a place for a campfire! Comfortable inside and would stay again. Thanks!

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

Beautiful home with a large backyard and super clean. Destioney is a considerate hostess; laid out dog bowls, snacks, water and much more! I would recommend bring earplugs if you're traveling with people who snore loudly or kids as the doors are hollow. Beds are very soft.

This was by far one of the cleanest Airbnb’s we have stayed at. There are many other great attributes about the house, but I needed to state that one first! This place was amazing. It sits over looking the water, and every view from the living areas downstairs to the bedrooms upstairs had a spectacular view to look out at everyday! Even on the days it rained, the views were still lovely. We stayed with our two adult daughters and their husbands, so there were six of us. We never felt crowded. There is a dock that you can walk down to (a bit of a drop/climb, over 90 steps I believe), and most of our group enjoyed going down to the water. One of our son-in-laws is a fisherman and he caught some smaller mackerel off the dock (you need a license), and chose to throw them back. Also there is a family of seals that lives in the water right where the house is. There is a viewing scope on the enclosed porch and we were able to see them with that. Lastly, WiFi is limited as is cell reception.

The location was absolutely amazing, walking out to the beach for low tide was a great experience. Parking accommodated our 30’ rv and an suv. Fire pit was relaxing too!

Lisa was amazing and the house was beautiful with an incredible, woodsy backyard. If you’re a birder or wildlife watcher, this is the place to be. Centrally located, very peaceful despite the busy road, and everything you would need. Highly recommend and will be booking again. Will also tell our friends.. Thanks Lisa!! Just fantastic.
