Guesthouse holiday rentals in Mount Desert Island

Our stay was short but overall good. Dee was very helpful with recommendations and getting us settled in the suite. Location is walkable to downtown with a lot of good restaurant options but still private and quiet at night.

This place is such a gem, there’s a creek and the bay right next door as well as a well used hiking trail! Lucie was very kind and very helpful during our stay when a storm caused the power to go out. The home is cute and one of a kind, but as she says it is country living. We had quite a few creepy crawlers (big ones) and a few other funny visitors but all in all we loved our stay and Lucies place just feels so special

My family stayed for a few weeks and felt right at home. Mary and Frank were very helpful, responsive, and welcoming. It was lovely being so close to Camden, and just down the road from the Mount Battie Carriage Trail.

My daughters and I traveled to the area for my son's wedding in Acadia NP. The Shackteau is lovely, clean and just as described. I would book again.

This is truly a gem of an Airbnb. John is an excellent host, being communicative and very helpful throughout the stay. The property is private, serene and well maintained both inside and out. He even helped me acquire some fresh lobsters to cook while we were there! A really special stay, I will definitely be back.

This is the perfect Maine cottage experience. Easy to enter cove water for a swim. Cannot beat the view/sunsets. Sitting on front porch is the best. Very well stocked kitchen. Would stay again! Be aware there is no WiFi connectivity if you need that and one of us needed that for a work emergency so found public access. Us old folks found the lock box remote entry confusing. There was a small boat house close by and although visually blocked by trees could hear people talking on porch one night. Very little toilet paper supplied which based on how well everything else was likely an oversight but forced a quick trip to the Island market before it closed.

What an absolutely gorgeous and quiet location and with such gracious hosts. We enjoyed our stay so much we’re already planning our next year’s visit. Deborah and Charles are absolutely wonderful. Thank you!!!

We were a group of 5 adults. Lizabeth’s Birds nest cottage was perfect for us. It was very clean, nicely decorated, comfortable beds and convenient to Acadia and walkable to all that Bar Harbor has to offer! Highly recommend!

A comfy and cozy place, 2 blocks to downtown Belfast. Very nice amenities.

Hands down one of the best places I have ever been. Linda and Jay were so warm and welcoming. Homemade cookies, breakfast items, tea, coffee and snacks. Everything we could ever need. The home is beautifully decorated and immaculate! Linda and Jay were very proactive and thoughtful! They even left information books about the area, gave us some recommendations and answered all our questions. I wish we could have stayed longer! It was truly magical!

We loved this little “apartment.” It was just the experience we were looking for during our trip to Maine.

This was an amazing place to stay while we visited Acadia National park!! The space was cozy and relaxing after hiking all day. The grill on the patio was awesome!! The outhouse and outdoor shower is as described and very comfortable, clean, and easy to use. Pamela and Marc set everything up perfectly and were very responsive throughout our stay when we had questions. We really enjoyed our stay here, would absolutely stay here again!

This Airbnb was amazing in every way! We especially enjoyed the views of the mountains, the decor, how clean it was, the trees decorated with lights outside, and all the personal touches. It was inviting, comfortable, and had everything we could think of including sleds! (There was a privacy screen to put between the beds which was an added bonus). The Moody Mt. Cottage was the perfect location for a cozy winter getaway to hike and relax. We highly recommend staying here. You won’t be disappointed. Cait was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was special. We are so grateful!

Lorianne keeps the cottage very clean and feels like home. Lorianne was a very response and proactive host and the suggestions that she gave us were very helpful. Unfortunately it was cold during our stay, so we didn't make the campfire right outside the cottage.

A beautiful, restful home hosted by wonderful people. Great location for accessing nearby parks, including Acadia, but it stands on its own as its own vacation spot on the water. Hosts are super welcoming and helpful, and provide you with all the comfort and information you need. Looking forward to coming back some day.

Loved our stay at Julia and Sean’s Evergreen Farm. The view was absolutely breathtaking. Julia and Sean were amazing hosts. They provided some sweet goodies, were very friendly, gave us great recommendations on restaurants and places to visit. The house was pristine, bed was comfortable, and did I mention how beautiful the view was. If we are able to come back and visit we would definitely stay here again!

Extremely nice BnB for staying in the area with a relatively cheap budget for lodging. Only an hour and a half away from Bar Harbor/Acadia, 30 minutes from Camden, and multiple other cuter small towns around the area with plenty to do, hike, bike, etc. I loved that they gave recommendations of their own favorite places around the area! Very detailed check-in, check-out, and directions which were greatly appreciated! Overall, our stay here was a 10/10 (except when we accidentally broke something - but they were super understanding❤️) and we would love to stay here again!

I truly enjoyed my stay at The Midcoast Getaway! I'm so grateful that I was able to get away for my birthday weekend. Chris and Ryan have a beautiful place. It felt like my own personal retreat. They checked on me before and after the snowstorm. They even went the extra mile and removed the snow from my car. I would 100% recommend their place and I hope to be back in the future.

We highly recommend this place! Rob and Cassie were great, very responsive. The home was more beautiful in person than in the pictures and the view was wonderful!

This is a little slice of paradise. I came here to do nothing, essentially--read & swim for a few days in beautiful, quiet surroundings. Diane was immediately welcoming with a warm greeting and quick tour. You have privacy here, but if you need anything, she is right next door. I couldn't recommend staying here more highly! Thanks, Diane! Andrew

Bruce and Liane have a lovely peaceful cottage. It’s private from the road but close enough to walk to town. Really appreciated the washer/dryer and dish washer. This was the perfect spot for our nearly two weeks in Belfast. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a great few days at the cottage! My husband and I were there for our mini-moon and loved how close it was to Bar Harbor and all the amazing hikes Acadia has to offer. Peggy left some great food recommendations—we went to Sweet Pea Cafe (just down the road) three nights in a row. They are now currently closed for the season but visiting when they are open again is a must!

Wonderful place! Thank you!

Aimee and David's place is new and beautifully done. We enjoyed meeting them both. Loved the place: The view, ease of access (once you find it the first time!), cleanliness, and the general layout. The kitchen has everything you need and there's plenty of storage available in the rooms and bathrooms. The bedrooms and bathrooms are identical so there was no discussion as to who gets the better view, etc.! Everything from the layout to the conveniences is well thought out. I loved having my morning coffee on the deck overlooking the Taunton bay. Thank you Aimee and David. I hope to go there again.
