House holiday rentals in Dedham

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.

this was the 3rd time our family has stayed,again we had a fantastic time! We chose to return due to the great space, a fabulous indoor pool, great kitchen and an amazing view. Great attention to details, comfortable for large families or groups and peaceful for just 2.

We felt like at home. The house is located in a private property with swimming pool and tennis courts. It’s very clean and very peaceful. Just a clarification about the description : there’s no bathroom in the basement. Then if you come with elderly people or very young kids, it could be annoying. If you like cooking, the kitchen is very well equipped. We´ll keep a very good memory of our stay in Ducktrap Retreat during the colorful foliage season.

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

Booked this place for our anniversary to get away from the city for a weekend.. we found exactly what we were looking for! The hot tub was wonderful, the house was clean and cute, and we had everything we could have needed! Estelle was very responsive and gave clear instructions for everything. Would recommend this place for a quiet getaway or a small group trip in the summer!

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.

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!

Our stay at Stairway to Heaven was the perfect long weekend getaway we were looking for. It was very clean, comfortable and had the essentials we needed. The lakehouse is in a beautiful and quiet area at the end of the lake. The water is so clear and shallow. It was nice to be able to see my son fishing off the dock from the house. Jud, the owner was very responsive to the few questions I had. We had fun fishing off the dock and kayaking in the cove. The back deck was perfect for playing games and conversating while enjoying the view of the lake and the sounds of the bullfrogs. There were two bald eagles that put on a show for us as well.

The minute we walked in we felt at home! Sonya was super responsive and friendly, we got right in with no problem. The location was easy to find, and despite having houses nearby it felt very private. Sonya has everything you can think of. The cabin was clean and warm. Thank you so much, Sonya. We would absolutely stay again !

great location to get around to other areas of MDI - super easy drive to Bar Harbor and multiple locations around Acadia. very clean house, thanks !

Martha went above and beyond to make us comfortable. There were plenty of extra towels and linens, toiletries for us to use, there were two box fans in one of the closets, and even umbrellas! The house was clean, the area was quiet - our weekend stay was great. Thank you, Martha!

We attended a wedding at nearby Camp Roosevelt. This house was the perfect location for that. It was clean and welcoming. It is located in a quiet and beautiful location. Christina and Matthew were very responsive.

Our stay here was so much fun! Swimming, fishing, kayaking, there was so much to do and the water was awesome! It was the perfect place to stay to have your peaceful vacation being in a great neighborhood but it was still located close enough to places where you could go if you’re looking to get great food, or go into a nice town with other things to do. Ryan was such a great host he had so many great recommendations on what to do, and where to go nearby for everything! He really cared about your stay here and it showed, he went out of his way to make sure you felt comfortable and had fun during your vacation! He was so responsive and was there if you needed anything. We would recommend this place to stay to anybody, and would love to come back. It’s the perfect place to bring your kids and your dog and they provide so much to make sure you have fun while staying here!

My husband and I spent our babymoon at Jennifer’s place, and waking up to the stunning lake view each day was just what I needed to unwind. I asked Jennifer if there was cooking oil available, and her mom kindly brought us a bottle of olive oil before our arrival—such a thoughtful gesture! We will definitely stay here again if we're ever in the area.

Great location for a family getaway in Maine. Pond was beautiful, listened to loons and frogs every night. Peaceful location.

This was an absolutely incredible stay! Richard was exceptionally responsive and thoughtful from start to finish. The cabin was exactly as described—beautifully maintained, cozy, and stocked with everything you could possibly need for a memorable getaway. The surprise gift bag and handwritten note were such a kind and personal touch that made us feel instantly welcome. The location is serene and stunning, offering peaceful seclusion while still being a short, scenic drive to both Bangor and Bar Harbor—perfect for our itinerary. We truly couldn’t recommend this place more and are already hoping to return in the summer to experience it all over again!

We were a party of 6 people and had a wonderful stay at the Lakefront cabin in Dedham. We arrived on an evening of a clear sky, did some astro-photography. The dark skies with almost no light pollution was perfect for this. Fall colors were just at their peak in the region, so we would wake up to the most amazing views of the lake. The host provided kayaks with oars, a well-equipped kitchen along with a good collection of spices and seasoning ingredients. The house was also well-stocked with towels, and other daily use necessities. The property is also close to grocery and supplies, so we were able to conveniently obtain food during our stay. Well-maintained house, with good amenities and an excellent host. Thank you Paulina for facilitating a memorable Fall vacation for us.

This house was beautiful! Everything was very clean and the games and kids bean bag chairs were my kids favorite part. We took the kayaks out everyday and it was beautiful scenery. Hosts were very responsive when we had questions. Highly recommend this house!

We had a truly unforgettable Father’s Day weekend at this beautiful lake house just outside of Acadia. The setting was absolutely perfect — peaceful, scenic, and right on the water. We were lucky to have gorgeous weather the entire stay, which made our time by the lake even more special. The home itself was warm, inviting, and well-appointed for a family getaway. We spent our days kayaking, relaxing by the water, and enjoying meals together with the serene lake view as our backdrop. It was the perfect blend of comfort and nature. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us. We can’t wait to come back!

We can't say enough great things about this place! Camp Nacho exceeded our expectations exponentially. The views are beautiful. The neighborhood is extremely quiet and peaceful. The cabin had everything we needed and more. Amon was easy to communicate with and so friendly. We enjoyed the kayaks and the fire pit! We stayed with our 6 kiddos and they had a blast. So many amazing memories were made during out stay!

Our stay here was great! There was an issue with the WiFi and Dustin’s response was prompt. This quiet and secluded lake cottage was perfect for our vacation to Maine. Highly recommend!!

We loved our three nights at Seabank. The house was comfortable and immaculate, the kitchen well equipped, and the location—overlooking tidal Goose Bay with views toward Mount Desert Island—could not have been more tranquil (plus an easy 20-minute drive to Acadia/Bar Harbor). Robard was a terrific host, quick to answer our questions, and even lending a hand to ensure that we were able to check in early. We lucked into gorgeous weather and spent lots of time outdoors, reading on the deck, kayaking in the bay at high tide, and relaxing around the fire pit.

This was an absolutely beautiful place on the lake, our kids had a wonderful time fishing and watching the airplane land and take off on the lake, its quiet and peaceful just what our fanily needed the home had everything we needed and felt extremely comfortable, we cant wwit to come back to stay longer.
