Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in New England

I love Maine's working waterfront and even though my stay was in the off season there was a wonderful glimpse into our fishing economy and the hard work it takes to keep it happening. The quality of light in the unit was amazing, and viewing the moon across the water was stunning. Easy to access all that the midcoast has to offer within an easy ride, to Rockland and Damariscotta and Boothbay and Wiscasset -- my favorite spots. Beautiful places nearby to hike and explore. Onsite staff people Debbie and Blair were wonderful; when I had an issue with the internet -- it was fixed quickly. Unit was well equipped for a person who loves to cook. Also having a bathtub in a waterfront apartment was a plus since many don't have them. Clean, comfortable, safe-feeling -- all one could want in a Maine coastal vacation. Wish I could have stayed longer but instead I'll just plan to go back again.

Susan was a wonderful host! Even if I was out and about the whole weekend, she made herself available when I had questions, provided suggestions for cities to visit around North Chatham. The house is beautiful and peaceful, a heaven for birdwatchers and nature lovers!

Amazing stay!! We needed a place at the last minute and Carolyn’s house was so worth it. I’m so grateful she accommodated us so last minute. Beautiful bedroom and amazing barroom, quiet neighborhood but not in the boonies! 10/10 recommend!

John was a lovely host, and the apartment was wonderful. The location was a great starting point from which to explore the surrounding area. Super peaceful, and the bed was so comfy. At night, you can see the stars through the skylights, which was great. The place had everything needed for a short stay, would definitely recommend!

We stayed at Wiz's place for 3 nights and felt right at home! Our stay was super pleasant, there are a lot of things to do in the area and we could have stayed a lot longer. The breakfast was such a nice little touch and the homemade goodies were very much appreciated! Thanks again for everything!!

VERY nice people and cute little cabin. we brought our kids and the sheet literally came up to the cabin. the propert is gorgeous. I would 100% recommend.

We loved our stay in the North Barn. Paul and Jane were the best hosts! The barn was very comfortable, had everything one could need, clean and really nice! Paul had a list of hikes and color coated them on a map which was very helpful and a time-saver! They had a basket of some food items upon arrival for us which we enjoyed. They both were very kind, helpful and available if we had any questions. We highly recommend this place to anyone coming to Maine and would without a doubt stay there again if we are able to return to Maine. Mark & Laura Al & Joan

Susan accommodated me on short notice when I needed to make a last minute trip. Her place is beautiful and thoughtfully appointed, nothing is neglected. The location is both convenient and peaceful. I can’t wait to stay here again!

Beautiful location to stay, very clean and friendly. Hosts are available and respond very quickly. The rooms are individually secured with number locks, a continental breakfast is available each morning, all you have to do is serve yourself. The only point that could be disturbing but that coordinates very well is that there is only one bathroom to share for the three bedrooms. Otherwise everything is perfect, excellent value for money, I recommend it!

Linda and Ted are very welcoming hosts and have a beautiful home. We had a great weekend and would definitively consider going back.

Can’t say enough positive things about Mal & Mary Kay’s place. It was so beautiful, even better than the listing and Mal is truly a delight as a host - so friendly and knowledgeable and open to chatting as much or as little as you prefer. Such a gem of a place!

We had a great time staying at the Lacey Rose! I appreciated the direction communication from Denise and being in a space that was so thoughtfully decorated and cared for. Breakfast made for us at the time we requested was a huge bonus as well!

This is a 5/5 Airbnb. It was lovely to stay at Bill and Paul’s place! There was everything we needed for our stay in this lovely historic two storey mansion. Coffee available to guests and fresh muffins baked each morning, what’s not to love!. Ellsworth is a lovely town and not too far from the beautiful Acadia National Park. I would stay here again.

Even though I had been to Acadia area several times, I never realized what a sweet town Southwest Harbor is. This is a prime location for anyone wanting access to the national park. It's a relief to stay on the "quiet side" of the island. This accommodation is amazing for its value, roominess, hospitality, cleanliness, and ease of parking. Carol provides a lot of tips regarding local "must-sees" from the point of view of someone who really knows the area. She has thought of everything that will make your stay comfortable and convenient.

It was one of the best experiences I had with Airbnb, all thanks to Rebecca's kindness and predisposition. My husband and I were treated like kings. The house is beautiful, super cozy, with a great view and the neighborhood is very quiet. Perfect location to visit Newport (30 minutes by car). The breakfast prepared by Rebecca is great and her talks very interesting and enjoyable! She took the trouble to go and buy us delicious fresh strawberries. We will miss her! Hopefully we will be back soon!

Sad to be leaving. First morning I was awoken by the sounds of birds chitchatting and a warm inviting glow peeking through the windows. Open the French door and listen to the gentle rustling of leaves, the cool breeze flowing in. I could do this for longer. But it’s time to go back to reality. Thank you Joan for hosting. Your place is wonderful.

Mary and Jim were great hosts. Mary in particular was hilarious; she shared many interesting stories with my friend and me. She took us on a mini tour of the grounds of her house which had magnificent views of the White Mountains all around. She gave us recommendations for short day hikes with great views. Cell reception is poor so keep your GPS on after you arrive. The house had a cozy, homey, welcoming vibe. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water. We ate fresh eggs for breakfast from Mary’s hens. The best part of our trip were her dogs Dougal and Fergus who were very enthusiastic and playful, and the flock of hummingbirds that arrived in the late afternoon to drink from the feeder. 100% recommend staying here for a relaxing nature getaway from the city.

Lovely home, great location and friendly and helpful host. Felt more like a "hosted B&B or inn" rather than the more common experience I've had with Air B&B of the host being available but not a visible presence. If you are looking for a private, nonengaging experience, this might not be for you. However, if you enjoy meeting your host, we found Bob to be warm and cheery and he made us a lovely breakfast with excellent coffee. Rosy was away so we did not meet her, however, her decorating talents were much on display from the tableware to the linens and accoutrements, all of which made us feel like we were special guests.

Our stay was short but sweet

Our stay at Laetitia and Dono's was very pleasant. The family is charming and the cottage very warm. Breakfast is delicious and the presentation is appetising. This atypical house, located in the heart of nature, is a haven of Peace and Love. It's refreshing!

We loved staying here! We felt so welcomed and comfortable. It was easy to find and parking was great! It was a beautiful place!

Such an awesome place! Very cozy, clean and great experience. I recommend this for a night or two away.

Comfy, clean home on the river with beautiful views from the rooms. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Home was ready for a large family stay. Highly recommend the home for a peaceful stay.

Loved every second of it! My cat and I went here for a time away from the city and was one of the best stays I’ve ever had. Breakfast was scrumptious, the room was even more beautiful in person, and the backyard was the highlight of the trip. Easy trip using the Metro-North, big thanks to Nicole for being flexible and lovely. Definitely will come back!
