Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Frenchboro

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!

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

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 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sol’s house! It’s truly a hidden gem. The house was super cute, with modern and clean furnishings. The kitchen had all the basic necessities. We also appreciated how it wasn’t overly cluttered as well. A lot of windows for cool breezes. The shower was hot with great water pressure, which was nice to have after long days of hiking and biking in Acadia. It’s located on a private street, with a lot of trees, so you aren’t very close to any potentially noisy neighbors. It’s a very peaceful, serene and quiet area. The nearby town of Southwest Harbor has great shops and coffee as well. The more popular attractions of Acadia and Bar Harbor are about a 25-30 minute drive. Sol was a superb host. He was very responsive and accommodating and answered my questions promptly. 10/10 would definitely recommend Sol’s house!

This house is a gem! The beauty of the location near the harbor and the peacefulness were outstanding. The house is very cute and comfortable mixing the original charm with tasteful renovations. Very easy to feel at home. But, watch the slant of the ceiling in the attic bedroom! The lighthouse down the road is one of most scenic we've seen. Nancy was super accommodating about early check in and proactive about making sure all was going well. Definitely a place to return to.

This is our third time staying at the Arthaus. Scott’s place is beautifully designed, modern, immaculately clean, and so comfortable!! We spend our days in Acadia park and love to go home to this private cottage gem. Scott is a fantastic host!!!

Tamarack was a lovely private cottage near Southwest Harbor and close to everything we wanted to do in Acadia! We enjoyed staying on the "quiet side" of Mt. Desert Island and Tamarack was a cozy respite after a long day of hiking. The added bonus of a beautiful sunrise out of our window each morning was very serene! The cottage was new and very clean with all of the amenities you could ask for. There was not much to walk to however it is only about 5 minutes into Southwest Harbor which had a number of good restaurants ( although many close after the 3rd week in October) and close to a tiny but well stocked grocery store. We enjoyed cooking out on the gas grill and exploring local restaurants. Our host was very accommodating and communicative! We will be back next fall!!!

This is a nice cabin positioned in some comfortable woods with lots of New England charm. Very easy access to acadia national park now, there are plenty of amenities to keep you busy. We took out the paddle boards on echo lake and it was a lot of fun for our entire family. sadly, it rained and we couldn't enjoy it's well prepared fire pit and outdoor eating area. Our kids loved the king sized bunk bed, and the welcome Maine blueberry pie was a nice touch.

We had a great stay! The unit was very clean and well-stocked. The location is quiet and peaceful, and it's a very short drive to both Bar Harbor and Acadia State Park. Allison is a very responsive communicator and she was very helpful with local tips. We plan to return in the future!

Caroline was an excellent host. Very easy check in and check out process and the loft is a perfect amount of space for two. Great for a weekend getaway. Youll have a great time.

Pam's place was wonderful spot for our trips back and forth to Acadia. Away from the crowds of Bar Harbor and only a short drive. The place is cute, quaint and well stocked. Very pleasant stay!

Clean bright spacious very comfortable beds . Great central location over ice cream shop though some road traffic noise in the morning. Would definitely return.

Terrific space and what a beautiful setting. A destination stay for sure!

This spot was a GEM! Susan was a great host providing us with great recommendations and a cozy little cabin to rest our heads in. We enjoyed cooking our own breakfast and sitting on the deck to enjoy the beautiful view. Very quaint spot being in Southwest Harbor. It featured a nice little town that so close and wasn’t too busy. We enjoyed some hiking and sailing around South west as well. And not far from Acadia and Bar Harbor. We enjoyed this trip — perfect blend of relaxing and adventure.

Great little place for a small group to stay!

Incredible, we really enjoyed staying at the sunrise deck, so incredibly home feeling and sweet for me and my wife’s honeymoon. We loved the extra care Lise took to bring gluten free snacks for my wife it was so sweet and thoughtful. We strongly recommend coming to stay here for Acadia or even the surrounding towns as well! Thank you Lise!

Love this Condo. Superb location in Blue Hill Village, easily walkable to everything downtown. Modern and updated making it very comfortable. Well equipped with cleaning/cooking supplies so you can "live normally". The hosts are super responsive and helpful as well. Highly recommended.

We were very happy start to finish. The location was just so unique and incredible. Right on a working marina, but very quiet. Plenty to see and do nearby. Walk across the pier and buy live lobsters. Christie was extremely helpful and quick to respond when asked. Condo was very well done with plenty of touches to make it homey. A good value! If we come back to Maine, we’ll call her first.

The Owl’s Nest is a great place to stay and explore the coast in Maine. We stayed for a whole week and had a blast each day. Acadia is about an hour and half drive away and there are a bunch of trails to do much closer by as well. JoDee and her family are gracious hosts and were extremely helpful and attentive to all we needed during our stay. I even used this place as a jumping off point to go to Baxter State Park one morning. The bnb itself is exactly as described, and served all our (two people) purposes exceptionally well. Would definitely recommend staying here to other folks and wouldn’t mind returning again.

My family and I were very excited about visiting Acadia National Park. This location is close to the park (about 10-15 min driving). We stay in the large room for six people. The place is good for a group who can sleep closely (our kids slept next to each other in the two beds and the couch), also keep in mind there is only one restroom. Having a kitchen to cook our meals is always a plus. The common areas are very good. We used the hot tub, the fireplace and the grill. Everything was great! Arthur is an excellent remote host, quickly answering all our questions. I recommend this place for families willing to visit Acadia.

Brian’s place was very clean and walking distance to everything in downtown Bar Harbor. Note to guests: apartment is on the second floor up a fairly steep flight of steps.

We rented both the Toddy House and Rocky House for a week for our family of 12. The houses were as described and in pristine condition. We loved the fact that they were close together, so the late night group could stay up socializing, while the children could be put to bed without distraction. The Toddy House had a pool table which provided lots of late night entertainment. It also had a large open common area to accommodate our group, and we spent a lot of time on the screened porches. We really liked the access to the water with the dock, the canoes and kayaks, and the super cool fire ring. We are the type of family that asks a lot of questions, and Mark was quick to answer and take care of any questions or issues we had. We spent a great deal of time at Acadia, and while the drive was about 45 minutes to get there, it was not a problem at all. We would definitely return to 3Havens if we decided to take another vacation in this area. Mark and Laurie were excellent hosts.

Stayed for 4 nights with 4 adults. Tim's place was bigger than expected; it never felt like tight quarters. The rooms were spic and span, kitchen had everything you'd need to cook a meal. Location was great: having been here before I prefer this side of MDI anyways. Plenty of parking and easy access to Island Explorer as well. Great host: will definitely recommend!

The place was great! Super clean and very cute. Right across the street from the small airport, and walkable to a lobster shack and bakery! About a 20 min drive to bar harbor.
