Family-friendly vacation rentals in Mount Desert Island

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay at Latham blueberry farm. Doug and Brenda were incredibly helpful and friendly- they introduced us to the house and farm as soon as we checked in and were always available if needed. The beds were comfy, the kitchenette stocked, and the grounds were gorgeous. Their beautiful 1826 farm house was an authentic experience of staying on a farm- our kids loved feeding the animals (especially Ernie the pig and Moses the horse); picking fresh blueberries; and swimming and paddleboating in the private pond. Our hosts had great recommendations for local outings, and we loved chatting with them and playing with their puppy Jackie. Our family made lifetime memories.

We loved our time at Dwayne and Patti’s place! It definitely felt like a home rather than a hotel, which is exactly what we want when we book an Airbnb over a hotel. The musical instruments and hot tub were a hit with our group :) The location is amazing, close to both Bar Harbor (Acadia) and Bangor. We got to go to a concert and hiking during our stay, and we loved returning to our home base. I can’t want to be back!!

Peaceful Maine beach cottage with walkable access to a private beach. About an hour from Acadia and Bar Habror. Plenty of space, all the necessary amenties and then some, at this quaint property. We had a great time and the host is friendly and responsive.

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.

This place is so lovely and peaceful. We loved the water view from the loft and roaming the beach. It is a great spot.

Just the right size, a home away from home. Clean, neat, cozy, and quaint. Alyssa has been a great host from beginning to the end. Very quick response time. The home is in a perfect location. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful home with a great view, deer and turkeys in the front yard. Very quiet and peaceful. The home is well equipped and spacious.

Erica’s home was fantastic! It had beautiful views, was very clean and cozy, and everything was simply perfect. If you are visiting Maine definitely book this place. The hot tub was perfect for the chilly nights. We came for Acadia, it was only an hour drive it really wasn’t far from any of the things we wanted to do and it was out of all the business of bar harbor. Perfection

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.

The 3 days spent here were amazing. The place was cozy with everything we needed. The outside of the property was also filled with beautiful views and a lake and was super serene. Will definitely recommend to all wanting to visit Maine and Acadia

It was just great, wish we stay longer, and we will definitely be coming back, we hope to book for longer and I think we would like to come back in the summer months. Acadia was beautiful, we were able to use the canoe and go into the lake, set up a fire, and make s'more.

Galen and Cindy were wonderful hosts! The cottage was incredibly comfortable and made my husband, daughter, and me feel right at home. The location is perfect—just about 30 minutes from Acadia National Park and close to great restaurants and shops. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back! 😊

I had the most magical time at Judith's cottage. Her land truly feels like a tangible expression of love, warmth, and safety. If you're looking for a refuge that encourages restoration and quality time with nature, this is the perfect place. It was amazing to explore the nature and local recommendations Judith shared, and having the cottage as a space to just rest, read, journal, and enjoy the surroundings was perfect. I highly recommend this cottage, Judith is deeply kind, friendly, and will go out of her way to make you feel at home!

As our last stay everything was very accommodating and comfortable. Great music, books, art and an expansive beautiful landscape. The stars at night are beyond amazing. Highly recommended.

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 had a great stay in Bar Harbor at Helen's place. The place was cute, nicely appointed and super convenient to the town of Bar Harbor.

Cannot imagine a better spot to relax with our family. A lucky spot for the owners and luckier for us that they share the rental with strangers.

Aimee was wonderful to deal with. Her place was absolutely beautiful. we definitely picked the right place. the sunrises were so awesome. Rockland was a gorgeous little town.

Great unit on the golf. Course with Ocean views out to the islands. Generally peaceful, save for the morning mowing of the golf course. Great place to base to see all of the mid-coast and the Samoset hotel amenities that are available to you are first class

Three girlfriends and I stayed at Hillside for a week. The setting and location were absolutely beautiful. It was so quiet and peaceful and I loved walking the trail. The house was roomy and comfortable. We highly recommend!!

Worked great for our family of six. Comfortable and quiet unit. Pool and hot tub on premises were a big plus for the kids. Would be happy to return in future years.

Valerie's home was clean and in a quiet neighborhood peaceful stay

My husband and I, and our two pups had a fantastic time in the Carriage House for a week. Part of a breathtaking private/secret compound on the water…with the most incredible private tidal pool. The place is so authentic, which is what we love about staying in ME when we can escape. We were so blessed to find Margaret’s place last minute. Margaret’s mother, Sally, and her husband were in the main Kate’s house. So so sweet they were to us and our girls. A dog paradise. We are foodies. Plenty of good restaurants around - just a few minutes to the adorable village of Stonington. Around the corner is one of the best restaurants in the country - Aragosta. We can’t wait to return…hopefully, in the Fall. A trip we will always remember. Thank you, Margaret & Family.

We found the home clean and welcoming. There was plenty of room for all of us and we enjoyed the back deck very much. The kitchen was well equipped and although we did not do any cooking, if we had, everything was there for us. We really liked how private the home was. Had the weather been warmer we definitely would have checked out the pool. It is also very close to Thomaston, Rockland and Owls Head. So much to do in this area. We would recommend this home to anyone who wants a quiet retreat in Maine that is close to the coast.
