Margaret was a great host. She gave us privacy, but was available if needed. She was pleasant and informative when I asked about places to go and things to do around the area. We were also offered to check in as early as we needed and to have an extended or late check out as there was no one checking out before or arriving after us which was perfect! Margaret and Ronald definitely created a beautiful space. It has everything you need and includes a kitchen with plenty of things for a cooked meal. The cottage is also stocked with towels and linens and was kept very clean. I loved the natural woods and decor detailing of stone knobs and branches. The loft area and ladder was a novelty in itself. My stay was very relaxing and the cottage was a perfect, comfortable size for two.

Margaret's cottage was charming and the perfect place for our Maine retreat! My daughter loved the ladder that led to the loft. It was her secret hideaway to play with her dolls. The place was spotless and had everything that we needed. Though I never met Margaret she was easy to communicate with and responded right away to my emails. I would definitely recommend staying here.

The cottage was perfect and Margaret was absolutely great! The neighborhood is lovely and the house was adorable. It is quite cozy, but my mom and I were there for a wedding so it worked out great for us. It's very close to the shops in Camden and also close to US 1 if you are planning to travel around Maine. The cottage has lovely woodwork details inside and an awesome front porch. Although I didn't actually meet Margaret, we had no problems communicating with her to get the keys, etc. She even brought over a blow dryer so we could get ready for the wedding. I would highly recommend this spot to any one visiting camden!

The cottage was exactly as advertised! It is in a great location, within easy walking distance to town. There is so much to do in Camden and the surrounding area. It was wonderful to have a place that we could call home for a few days - much better than a hotel! Thank you, Margaret.

Our stay at Margaret's place was very enjoyable! Check-in and out was very easy, and Margaret was very responsive if we had a question or problem. The cottage is located very close to the downtown area which is great!

Margaret's cottage is a perfect perch for exploring the Camden area. It's furnished simply and cozily, and is located in a quiet neighborhood a short walk from town. Margaret made it very easy to check in and out. A refreshing and laidback experience!

Margaret was most accomodating in arranging for our relatively late night check-in. "Cozy Village Cottage" indeed it is! We know Camden well and found this cottage to be not only convenient but also a very comfortable, well-appointed "nest" to call our own on our three day visit over the holidays. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We look forward to staying here again next year! Try this Camden secret - you'll enjoy it, we're sure!

We had a great stay. Accurate description and cozy feel.

This place is awesome. Roddy had been very accommodating. She had KAYAKS! Short drive to Acadia. Very quiet and comfy place. Would definitely come back again.

We loved our stay here at Roddy's place. It is just like the pictures posted. As a non pet owner and allergy sufferer, I am sometimes hesitant to stay in pet friendly places, as the standard of cleanliness can be very different. But this place was very clean, did not smell like pets, and did not have hair all over. Roddy left delicious treats for us when we arrived, checked on us and gave us some much appreciated tips for what to do and where to eat in the area. We enjoyed a nice evening kayak ride on the water right from the back of her property. You can tell Roddy has put a lot of love and pride into this lovely cottage, down to the little details like providing nice toilet paper instead of the cheap paper thin stuff. The neighborhood is safe and quaint. There is also a nice parking spot conveniently right in front of the cottage. The wifi is iffy here, but most people coming to an area like this are ok with unplugging a bit. Without hesitation I would come back to this beautiful, lovely place again and I can't thank Roddy enough for being a wonderful host!!

Cozy spot for a weekend getaway! Roddy was incredibly thoughtful, even baking a cake and leaving a card for the birthday weekend we were celebrating. Wonderful experience :)

Roddy's cottage is lovely, and it is situated in a beautiful part of Maine, close to Acadia. We loved visiting in winter and hope to come back in summer. Roddy was a wonderful host. She was flexible about check-in and check-out times, and she asked if we needed anything extra since she knew we were bringing a toddler along. She checked in on us a couple of times via text, but she gave us space to just relax. She also gave us a great recommendation for a beautiful part of Acadia that we might not have visited otherwise. We highly recommend staying with Roddy! Added bonus- she welcomed us with a nice note and delicious cookies!

Roddy's cabin was excellent - clean, cozy and exactly as pictured. She is a wonderfully gracious host and even went the extra mile by welcoming us with homemade brownies and fresh cut flowers! I would definitely consider returning in the future.

My family and I loved staying in Roddy's cottage, and were blown away by her hospitality and kindness. Throughout our stay, we took day trips out to Bar Harbor and Schoodic Point, per Roddy's recommendation, but we always looked forward to coming back home to such a cozy and lovely little home away from home we found in the cottage.

We enjoyed staying at Roddy's cozy cottage so much, we returned! It is the perfect spot for us when we are visiting family in the area and want to tuck ourselves away for a little down time. It's location also allows easy access to the Mt. Desert Island area, Downeast coastline and area hiking trails. As outdoor enthusiasts, we appreciate the easy access Roddy's cottage offers to these areas of natural beauty. We highly recommend a stay at Roddy's and have no doubt this will not be our last! The cottage meets all our needs. It is well stocked, comfortable, and clean and tidy. Roddy is the perfect host, too, successfully blending warm hospitality and availability with a sensitivity to the privacy of her guests. Plan to visit, you won't be disappointed!

Roddy, you are a wonderful hostess, the stay is special for our family; and the place is national park-esq. We enjoyed it so much! Thank you

Barbara and Robert's home was quiet, comfortable, and close to all that Portland has to offer. I would definitely recommend anyone traveling to the city for business or pleasure stay with them.

Barbara & Robert were very helpful hosts and their place was gorgeous. very short walk to the downtown and scenic neighbourhood!

Barbara 's place is a perfect location, comfortable room and friendly hosts. The shared bathroom works if the other guests are considerate.

Great location, clean house, friendly host. Would definitely stay here again

This is the perfect place to stay while visiting Portland...its a beautiful home with wonderful hosts, there is excellent communication, lots of tips on restaurants and other such things in town and the guest room is lovely:) It was great!

Bob and Barbara's place is great, cannot fault anything! Clean, comfortable room with all the amenities you'd expect. These guys are super organised and have put together an amazing blog with recommendations for where to eat, drink and visit while in Portland. Within easy walking distance of tons of restaurants and bars in the Congress Street area and about 20-30mins walk of most of downtown and the waterfront. We ate at the Little Tap house and Gilbert's Chowder House, both excellent. Parking was easy as they have rented a space in a garage a couple for blocks away. Would recommend LL Bean and Maine Beer Co in Freeport as a good day out. Really enjoyed our stay in Portland.

Best AirBnB experience thus far! Amazing. Incredible location, friendly hosts, and wonderfully clear instructions and notes on navigating the AirBnB. We truly loved and appreciated our time here!

This is the nicest Airbnb my husband have had the pleasure of staying at. Beautiful home, comfortable bed, friendly hosts, large and clean bathroom and ALL the amenities you could ever need! It is also in a quiet, safe neighborhood close to many restaurants and only a 5 min drive to downtown Portland. We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Portland! It is wonderful :)

The place was fantastic!

Amazing, amazing, amazing!! This place was beautiful, spacious, modern, homey, and minutes from downtown Portland. The hosts were super helpful and informative. We couldn't have asked for a better place. Would highly recommend!

Ken's place fits it's description to the letter! Tastefully and purposefully furnished and decorated, this apartment provides the perfect spot to come and go from... or to just stay still on a drizzly kind of day. From toiletries in the bathroom to utensils in the kitchen and welcoming touches everywhere... Ken really has thought of everything.

Simply a stunning gorgeous apartment, so much light, space and attention to detail. Just perfect for our short getaway in Portland. Was the highlight of our trip. Ken couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. Highly recommended. We look forward to visiting again. Worth every penny :)

Our experience in Portland was not only enhanced by but saved by ken and his hospitality. The impeccably clean, beautiful two bedroom apartment was both quiet and comfortable as well as having a view of the water from the main bedroom. The apartment felt like home, with tons of little touches that made us feel comfortable right away. The porch was amazing, perfect for catching the sunset! Unfortunately me and my girlfriends car broke down on the first day of our three day trip and ken not only helped us get it to the mechanic but made it possible for us to get home by helping us tow our car back to Connecticut. He was friendly and always available and checked in to make sure everything was perfect and that we had everything we needed as well as going above and beyond with recommendations for cool restaurants and places to go see around town. For a trip that could have been a disaster I can honestly say that not only is ken the best host we've ever had but a genuinely good person which is evident in all aspects of both the apartment and any interaction we had with him.

Beautiful place and very kind hosts.

My wife and I were staying in Portland for 1 night and I wanted something different than a hotel. I could not be happier with our choice. Staying mid-week was great for a number of reasons - the price was a little lower, the city was quiet, parking could not have been easier, places our hosts recommended to eat at were easy to get in. Our AirBNB was clean, had everything they listed, and you've never lived until you've stepped on heated marble tiled floors. This is a one of a kind loft that is even more stunning in person. I highly recommend staying here if you are in the area and it's available.

The view from the apartment, location, space, and amenities are all top notch. Was greeted right on time by a very energetic and upbeat host. Just minutes from all the fun downtown, it looks like we've found our new home away from home in Portland.

Ian's cabin in the woods was the perfect getaway for my boyfriend and I. We had such a great experience that we feel so sad and not at all ready to leave and go back to our real life in New York :( we would recommend this place to everyone, especially if you are looking for quiet seclusion, peace from work and city life, and just need to be around nature and simple living. It was so nice to be disconnected from technology, and to just read, go hiking, and relax in their gorgeous bathtub. The compost toilet definitely was a first and took some time getting used to, but was not an issue. It felt like being home, and was in every way just wonderful. We want to come back here as much as we possibly can, and loved every second of our stay. Thank you Ian, Mike and Karen, as well as Boothbay! We are so happy we found you.

I absolutely loved my few days at this beautiful little cabin in the woods. It was so peaceful. The only sounds were the acorns falling and the birds singing. I intended to do lots of hiking and exploring while in Maine, but this cabin was such a lovely retreat that I stayed right there for just about the entire time. I had worried about staying warm at first, but my worries were for nothing--the heaters made it very cozy, and if I ever felt a chill, the massive claw-foot bathtub was a perfect respite. I hope to be back again.

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cabin. You can relax and exploring the Maine coast. Ian's Tipps were fantastic and we really enjoyed his help. The cabin ist very clean and decorated with lots of love! There is everything you need for a perfect vacation! Thank you very much for having us!

We found this cabin to be in a peaceful private setting yet close enough to Boothbay Harbor to enjoy the amenities there if desired. It was a comfortable cabin , clean and with all the necessities to make our stay enjoyable. Our hosts were available yet respectful of our desire for solitude.

We had a lovely time at the cabin. It was perfect for relaxing and getting away from it all. Directions were clear, and we had everything we needed!

We had a great stay here! The location was just as we imagined - quiet, peaceful and beautiful and yet close enough to everything we needed. We had a wonderful time biking on the quiet roads in the neighbourhood and kayaking in the ocean (that is conveniently right outside the cabin). Don't let me start on the seafood - Maine is the place to be if you have a soft spot for lobster and the cabin comes with a kitchen fully outfitted to make cooking it and eating it a pleasure (no oven, but who needs oven, when you have barbecue?) The cabin itself was clean, tidy and cosy. Something unusual you may be interested in knowing - the tub is right in the bedroom, which ended up being something we actually loved. Our hosts were great and we would love to stay with them again if we ever go back to that area.

We love love loved this sweet little cabin. It was exactly the place my fiance and I needed to unplug and relax. Our lives have been so busy and we wanted a break from it all. After a couple nights here, we didn't want to leave. Ian was very quick and responsive, and Mike and Karen, who live on the property, were super kind and hospitable. A few of our favorite things: cooking up some fresh fish and veggies on the grill and eating at a little table perched above the tidal flats while the sun set; opening up the doors to the screen wall in the bedroom and taking a bath in the clawfoot tub on a lazy afternoon; and having a Dances with Wolves movie night (the cabin comes equipped with a TV and small but respectable selection of DVDs). The cabin is the perfect amount of rustic for a low-key getaway, and we were very comfortable and had everything we needed. There's a great little organic market nearby, a brewery with excellent food, and plenty of restaurants in Boothbay Harbor to choose from, but we found we preferred to spend most of our time lazing around the cabin and watching the tides roll in. Only an hour north of Portland, it was easy to get to and left us feeling grounded and rejuvenated. Thanks to Ian, Mark and Karen!

My mom and I loved staying at this cabin! It was very clean, well-organized, and just plain cute. It was a little cold, but that's mostly due to the time of year we chose to go (October). Ian and his family provided us with numerous guides of Boothbay (and the cabin itself) so we could plan out our stay in detail and make sure we enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this listing!

My partner and I stayed at Emily's studio apartment for four nights. On our first night in Maine, there was a snowstorm that left about 13 inches of snow on the ground. When we left the apartment the next morning, our walkway had been shoveled and our car had even been cleared off! We really appreciated that! Overall, we had a great stay. The apartment is cozy and clean and is surrounded by forest. It's also about a five-minute drive from downtown Kennebunkport and the coastline, so you can enjoy both privacy and convenience. Emily is a great communicator and made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. I would definitely come back to stay again!

The room/ studio was absolutely wonderful - very spacious and private. We loved the decor - very charming! We really appreciated all of the small touches that made the place special - vases of fresh wildflowers, coffee pods/Keurig machine and all of the fixings for smores including wood and firestarters to start a fire in the small fire pit outside, surrounded by tall pine trees. Room was very comfortable, and we especially enjoyed post-dinner lounging by the fire pit and morning breakfast outdoors. Convenient to both Kennebunkport and Cape Porpoise - ~2 miles to either. Highly recommend it!

Emily's guest house was amazing! We loved the thoughtful touches (use of the fire pit, smores materials, beach parking pass, etc.) The decoration was very on-trend but still perfectly "Mainey." The location was great--just over a mile out of town (do plan on having to drive into town though). We would definitely stay at Emily and Aaron's again!

Nice new studio space, well equipped and a short 2 minute drive to Kennebunkport. We used it as a center location for checking out Ogunquit up to Freeport. The studio is still attached to the main house and there are four shared sliding glass doors to the main house backyard so not completely private, but no connecting entrances and overall very quiet and relaxing. Hosts were available via text/messaging the whole time and we didn't actually meet them but there were no issues with any part of the stay. Would stay again.

Fantastic place - it was off season and bit cold so we didn't get to enjoy sitting outside, but inside is is really cozy. All the amenities you need; kitchenette, sink, fridge, nice large TV and bathroom. Emily was very accommodating as a host. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it!

My fiancé and I had a spectacular visit to Maine. Largely due to our wonderful hosts Emily and Aaron. The space is spacious yet cozy, and provides everything a couple would need for a weekend getaway. Located about a mile away from town, everything was easily accessible which made the weekend simple and worry free. My only wish would be to stay longer!

Aaron and Emily's place was great for our 4-day vacation in Maine. It had everything we needed and was spacious and cute. Aaron met us there and was friendly and helpful. The location is a very short drive into the main area of Kennebunkport, and also convenient to other good places like Cape Porpoise and Goose Rocks Beach.

This was a very cozy, well-kept cottage close to beach and town (not really walkable, but easily driveable). It was impeccably neat and contained lots of little touches that we appreciated, from kitchen supplies to an iron to local magazines. Thank you!

Beautiful cabin on the lake! Bill was a great host and was easy to contact via text whenever we had questions. Definitely rustic, but we had an amazing time and would definitely go back!!! Thanks, Bill!

We had a wonderful time in the Aikman's cabin. Everything was as described, and the views were more beautiful than the photos could capture.

Our stay at the Aikman cabin was wonderful! The views are incredible and we really enjoyed being able to use the canoe and grill out on the deck. Bill was very prompt with any questions or concerns. He also gave us tons of information and advice on the area and things to do, which was very helpful. The cabin is in a nice location on the island - out far enough that you can enjoy listening to the loons on the lake, but just a short drive to all of the towns. Overall we had a great time and would go back in a heartbeat!

We had an amazing time in Acadia's NP and that's because of the authenticity that the Aikman's family shared with us through the location of this amazingly situated cabin ! A real piece of heaven !

What an amazing place! Great location! The Aikmans were extremely friendly and easy to get a hold of. The lake was beautiful and quiet. Super close to Bar Harbor and all of Acadia. Highly Recommend!

Communication with the Aikmans was great- they responded to emails immediately. The cabin is adorable and location very central to many hikes and attractions on MDI. It is on a busy road, but once you are down the steps to the cabin you feel like you are in your own private world. We've been to Bar Harbor many times and this was our favorite place we've stayed. Being able to jump in the lake any time of day was fantastic. Wifi service was shaky, but we didn't really mind- the whole point was to take in nature and make a break from day to day life at home.

Staying at this cabin was a dream. It has an amazing view of / access to the lake, with a fun float we can swim or canoe to. Also minutes away from great hiking trails in Acadia park (the guidebook notes online and physical maps Bill provided in the cabin were super helpful). In the evenings we enjoyed grilling and smore making while watching the sun set. The water/shower sitch can take some getting used to but came with ample warning (the outdoor shower is actually much more consistent and refreshing). Bill was very responsive throughout the whole stay. Thank you for a lovely vacation experience!

This was a very cozy cabin, perfect despite the rainy weather. The canoe is awesome, the house is awesome, everything is awesome! Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

This was an absolutely perfect week for two people who have incredibly busy lives. Just imagine your own island, a lovely cabin no electricity but almost all the comforts of home except no tv (great), spotty phone and internet (also great) and no one to talk to -- also great! When people ask us what we did we say nothing, but it is not true. We did everything we wanted -- we canoed around the pond [big enough to be a lake -- what is the difference anyway?]; when it was too hot we swam; we read great mystery stories in the land of Stephen King -- a bit eerie but delightful; we hiked to see the eagles and the baby eaglet; we were serenaded by the loons and all the wonderful songbirds; we ate and drank and played -- oh did we play; we solved puzzles and games; and we had two of the most incredible light shows brought to us by the heavens. Mary and Greg thought of everything -- great hosts!

I was looking for a place to bring my brother and a number of his closest friends to celebrate his coming marriage; as soon as I saw the posting I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. The camp completely lived up to my expectations, and even exceeded them. The location is beautiful,and the camp is very well outfitted and cozy. We had a great time exploring the island and Brandy pond. Also with its close proximity to Acadia and the coast it offers a wonderful variety of activities one can engage in. The peace and quite was absolute, and the natural world was alive and abundant. Mary and Greg made perfect host and were very warm and helpful throughout the whole process.

Mary was extremely welcoming and informative when we called her before our trip. She was welcoming and kind, and really took the time to make sure that we would have everything that we needed. Her husband, Greg, oriented us to the cottage and really took the time to explain everything we needed to know. Our time on the island was totally relaxing; one of the most beautiful and special experiences of our lives. We would recommended it to anyone -- this is truly a treasure hidden on Brandy Pond in Maine.

My husband and I could not have asked for a better vacation. We had four days of complete peace and tranquility in a serene location. The weather was perfect! We fished, kayaked, explored the island and went for a couple of spins around the lake in the skiff. Mary and Greg provided thorough instructions, were responsive to our needs and available for assistance by phone throughout the entire trip Our only regret is that we did not find this place earlier in the summer because we will be sure to visit again next year. Lisa and Oakley

Eagle Island is an awesome place to visit! You have way more privacy than you do when staying at a camp site and the amenities in the cabin are much nicer than staying in a tent. There is a lot to explore on the island and around the pond itself. It is an especially cool place to visit if you have a dog since you can let it roam free for your entire stay. Mary and Greg were excellent hosts. This was our first experience using airbnb and they made it a great one. Mary was very responsive to all of our questions as we planned the trip and Greg showed us how to use everything on the island. The gas appliances in the cabin are really clever - especially the shower! We had some issues with the boat motor during our stay but Greg was always available to help us out (plus there are canoes and kayaks). It is a great place to getaway for a bit. My girlfriend and I (along with our dog) will likely be again to visit again in the future.

Mary and Greg were wonderful taking care of everything. We stayed there last year so we knew what we were expecting. That should say it all -- we did it twice!

This was the second summer in a row that we spent a week on Mary's magical island. The cottage is surrounded by beautiful pines and cheerful song birds. It is cozy, comfortable, and Mary and Greg have done an outstanding job maintaining and upgrading camp. Guests enjoy hot showers, small full sized fridge, oven, and propane lamps throughout. There is a fire pit, picnic table, deck perched above the pond, canoes, kayaks, a covered porch (with a rocking chair!), a gas grill, and of course......THE AWESOME BEAUTY OF BRANDY POND. This past week we spent our days watching bald eagles soar, heard loons calling, saw moose grazing, were wowed by outstanding sunsets, and gazed at amazing views of the milky way. What a glorious 7 days! For the second year in a row, I can once again say, this has been one of our absolute favorite vacation spots (and, I'm fairly certain that if our Labrador Retrievers could talk, they would tell you that it's pretty much their favorite vacation spot too!). Not only are Mary and Greg just really nice people and wonderful hosts, but a stay on Eagle Island invites you to slow down, be present, and enjoy nature at its finest.

A wonderful place to get away from it all. Mary and Greg were great hosts, ensuring I had everything I needed and were only a phone call away. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking to drop off the map for a few days.

Jennifer's place was fantastic! Cozy, comfortable, and well maintained. We felt at home from the moment we got there, and we did NOT want to leave at the end. Thanks again for the hospitality!

The apartment was adorable, and the host was super sweet and always kept me informed.

Love this home and would definitely stay again! Jennifer has everything we needed and was super responsive. Easy to get in, located ina cute neighborhood that was walkable and close to restaurants and downtown but also quiet.

Great place to stay! Perfect location! Very nicely furnished and very clean! Walk to everything! Easy check in and communication!

Cozy top-floor apartment, nearby tasty restaurants and a walk or quick car ride away from downtown.

Great place/great location/great value

Jennifer's place was very clean, quiet and a great location for walking to downtown Portland. Easy access to the key and pretty easy parking (we got a spot directly in front of the house). Everything was just as described. There was a wine chiller that got me excited and plenty of coffe and tea to help yo start the day. My boyfriend and I will certainly be returning!

Jennifer's apartment is located on a beautiful, quiet street, about 5 minutes walking to the main drag of the West End (great restaurants, bars, and music), and 20 minutes walking to the heart of downtown. Check-in/out could not have been easier, and the apartment itself was clean and comfy. Would absolutely stay there again.
