Cottage vacation rentals in Mount Desert Island

Really enjoyed our stay here. The views were lovely, the lake was refreshing, the beds were comfortable, lots of kitchen stuff, and the showers were hot. The house mostly has what you need. It could use a few more dish towels and bath towels. The long drive to Acadia got tiresome.

Great price, perfect location for Acadia visit and cute little place. Will return for sure!

This place is a gem! The pictures don't do it justice. Perfect getaway for a couple, the cedar hot tub is so nice and has views of the ocean! Great hiking nearby and fun food/drinks in downtown Camden (the Vintage Room has a great happy hour).

We enjoyed our weekend away at Mayya’s guest house! It was the perfect size for the two of us and we felt there were more than enough amenities to ensure our stay was cozy and peaceful! The add on of the hot tub was much needed and appreciated as well as it was getting chillier at night and it was the perfect addition! I would have liked to take advantage of the walking trail but the weather was rainy so we didn’t get to. We would definitely stay here again for a couple days and thank you Mayya for being a great host!

What a cute cottage with absolutely everything one would need Killer view

This was our second time staying here, my family and I love the tranquility of this little piece of heaven. Christopher’s home was beautiful, clean and well maintained.

Great stay for pet owners, clean and comfortable cabins, perfect for long weekend away in Acadia!

Nice option that’s close to Acadia National Park. The kitchen in the main house is spacious and usually empty so if you’re staying for a few days you won’t have to eat out every meal. The hosts are very nice and offer a lot to their guests.

The place was better than described .. I was very worried after I booked I noticed that pets were allowed and I was mortified .. I don’t stay anywhere pets are allowed I couldn’t believe when I arrived how clean and tidy it was .. she had coffee pods wood for fire paper products location was perfect view was magnificent it was a perfect place.

Fantastic spot. The cabin is so well equipped and squeaky clean. Maggie has thought of everything! Walkable to town in minutes and private. There are even glimpses of the sparkling ocean. 5 stars!

This cottage is delightfully cozy in the winter and very charmingly decorated. It’s not just run of the mill decor. The lighting setup is especially great and was put together very thoughtfully. I really enjoyed being IN the spaces that have been created in the cottage - there are several different seating areas for reading a book or sharing a meal or hanging out. The location of the cottage is spectacular with beautiful views from the windows as well as the private garden, private porch overlooking the bay, and more. Fabiola leaves many helpful instructions (often amusing!) and also gives lots of recommendations about the area. In addition to that she is super welcoming, always available, and clearly wants her guests to enjoy themselves. She also lets the guests have privacy. I’m sure the cottage and garden are even better in summer simply because one can spend more time outdoors, but winter has its own beauty in Maine and the cottage is a wonderful place to experience it from.

We love this little spot! It’s beautiful and private.

We loved our experience at our cozy, stand alone cabin. The room is spacious and has everything you need. We would stay again for sure!

Cute little cabin in the woods!! Super clean, check in was very easy. Nichole was very easy to communicate with. The cabin was perfect for a quick weekend. We would definitely stay again!

What a wonderful cabin. Exactly as described. The sun rises over the Penobscot River were truly incredible. We made sure to brew our coffee, bundle up, and head out to the sun rise. You can also stay indoors as well and still see the sun rise. The fire pit table was also a nice touch. Plenty of Adirondack chairs for viewing the river including birds and a few seals. The grill was brand new and worked great. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Amazingly the WiFi worked great and we also were able to access our streaming channels as well. Given the remote location, it was a pleasant surprise to see it work so well. There was plenty of hot water for showers and washing dishes. The propane heater and gas fire place did a great job of quickly warming up the cabin when needed. There were also new window A/C units, but we didn’t need to use them. There were also plenty of towels/blankets. No hair dryer, but we air dried. Paul was very responsive.

Wonderful place in a great location! Kristen was super responsive and has even able to accommodate us day-of (even a few hours of!). We have been coming to the island for 25 years and actually have a property not too far away on the island but needed a place just for one night - Kristen’s place was a wonderful change, and knowing the island very well, I can say with confidence that it’s a great place to stay!

Anna’s cabin was just what we wanted in a Maine Cabin! It was located on a private pond and was surrounded by trees and my husband was happy as he could fish (with a Maine fishing license). He had the whole pond to himself. Anna gave helpful tips to catch the fish in her pond and they were useful and worked. The cabin was equipped with pots, pans, and utensils including a gas grill outside on the deck. A guidebook was provided with helpful suggestions. Hosts were friendly and we had a fire together one night. Would highly recommend a visit if you enjoy the woods, eagles, loons, ducks and Canadian Geese. Very relaxing away from the city. We didn’t want to leave!

Jon’s place is beautiful and conveniently located. Would come back again!

Basha’s cottage was sweet and inviting, upon entry we were greeted with lovely flowers and a note welcoming us. The view out to the ocean was enchanting and the cottage was very peaceful. All of Basha’s restaurant recommendations were on point! We would definitely come back, October was surprisingly warmer than expected and we only needed sweaters. The grocery store that Basha recommended in Blue Hill was perfect, there were farm fresh yogurts in Ball jars that I’ll never forget, how I wish we had yogurt like that back home in NY, also a homemade chicken pot pie and so many other delicious food items, fresh fruit etc. If you’re a shell fish lover as we are every restaurant has the very best! Thank you Basha for the lovely stay at your sweet cottage! Karen

We had a wonderful time at Darthia Farm! We enjoyed sunrise down by the water and loved the short, but beautiful trail that led us right down to the water. We thoroughly enjoyed visits from the farm dogs and cat! The simple amenities really helped us to slow down and be intentional, even the way we washed the dishes. It was all very peaceful and what we needed. Even in the brisk weather of October, we enjoyed the outdoor shower! We cooked a delicious dinner one evening with yummy pesto and other goodies from the farm store (goat milk gelato was 🔥). Shepsi recommended some local hikes and on our last day ,we ventured over to Petit Manan wildlife refuge and hiked the Hollingsworth trail... absolutely stunning, and easy trail. Our stay here away from the busy tourist places of Maine was perfect!

Our family had a lovely stay at the Lupine Cottage. Such a peaceful spot. We enjoyed getting out on the water in the kayaks and sitting out in the Adirondack chairs listening to the loons and barred owls call. Nice central location for exploring Acadia and the mid coast. Thanks Kim & Stacy for the precious memories!

Believe the reviews! If you get a chance to rent here in the fall (or any time) you won’t regret it. I wish I could’ve stayed and read all of the cool books. Perfect space to gather but also have your own little corner if needed. Plus - the views are unlike any I’ve experienced at an AirBNB. Truly beautiful at any time of day. Plus our dog loved running around in the fenced in yard. We can’t wait to go back!

This cottage and the beach on which it is situated are breathtakingly beautiful. we immensely enjoyed the tranquility, the exquisite and simple aesthetic of the cottage, the privacy and length of the beach for walking at low tide, the coastal birds, and the time we had to relax. If I were to return I would do a few things differently: I would bring water shoes for walking on the beach and in the low tide, a mosquito head net, and a sun hat. I would also ask the owner to let me know when they expect the mowers to come so that I would be sure not to be doing some thing like meditating when they arrive. They arrived on huge lawnmowers and although they finished their business in quick order it was still a bit shocking to the nervous system. Overall, this was one of the best experiences I have had with Airbnb.

Amazing and beautiful location! Super quiet at night and only a few cars driving by during the day. Cheryl was super communicative and had stocked the house with everything I could possibly need- gear for any kind of excursion, plenty of cookware, extra linens, even toothbrushes in case you forget. Perfect as a home base for exploring the area or for a quiet retreat. Also has an amazing, spacious kitchen, so great if you like to cook!
