Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Penobscot River

Seven stars out of five! We have stayed in numerous places in Maine over the years, and given a lot of five star reviews. This one surpasses them all, hence the off the charts grade. It is incredibly well provisioned, spotless, spacious, inviting, and has an enormous porch with a view so lovely it looks fake. You can't even hear your neighbors, let alone see them. We heard loons, crows, and one very belligerent owl, but not once did we hear our neighbors. The only way you will know the tenant is home, is that a car will park opposite on the side of the house from you. The fire pit makes it easy and convenient to host a fire, even if it is only for 45 minutes or so. Kayaks are provided along with life jackets. At night you can see millions of stars. Place is so peaceful and comfortable, we almost didn't make it into the park haha. We will definitely be back!

This place is amazing! So cozy and so comfortable! The lake was beautiful and we made plenty of use of the fire pit and kayaks. Stephen was so kind and responsive and made asking questions easy. I would recommend this place to everyone!

Amazing place! Beautiful house with great amenities including a wonderful hot tub and fire places. The two separate houses were perfect for accommodating our big family. Everything was spotless and comfortable. The layout provided privacy while still having welcoming common areas for everyone to gather. Would definitely stay here again!

Home was as described. Host were very accommodating as we had to extend our stay multiple times . Bed was very comfortable. Home had everything we needed and then some. A very relaxing and inviting environment made us feel right at home.

This was a gorgeous stay with a great location for going to Acadia/Bar Harbor, while still maintaining privacy. I spent several hours during my one night stay admiring the design of the home (interior and architectural). I spent the night on the living room couch with a solid view of the bottom floor and with several large windows facing me, yet I still felt completely comfortable and that I wouldn't be disturbed or intruded upon. I was plenty warm the entire stay with the gas heater barely on. While there are some small details of the home that could use some touching up, *none of it* was a problem and still left plenty to love. I enjoyed sitting on the cut logs outside and listening to the crows and loons in the early morning (~6am). Everything felt as though it was placed with great intent and consideration, but still welcoming enough to get comfortable without worrying about ruining or disrupting it all. I would love to stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

We had an unforgettable stay at this charming Airbnb on Mount Desert Island during the MDI marathon weekend with our family. The location was idyllic, nestled in a quiet, serene part of the island that truly captured the essence of island living. We loved how peaceful it was, yet it was still close enough to explore the famous lighthouses, adding an extra layer of beauty to our trip. Waking up to the tranquil sounds of nature and taking in the coastal views set the perfect backdrop for our marathon experience. The home was cozy, well-appointed, and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was attentive and made sure we had all the information necessary to explore the surrounding area. This place is a hidden gem, and we couldn’t have asked for a better spot to enjoy family time and make lasting memories. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience the best of Mount Desert Island!

Another great stay at Renee's place. We will be back!

Private, peaceful and beautiful place to stay at if you want to forget about the rest of the world for a weekend. We couldn't get fish at the lake but the view was amazing, we got to enjoy a bonfire and some marshmallows and spent most of our time in the hot tub. The house is very spacious and full of amenities, you really will be okay if you forget to bring something with you because they most likely have it! Overall had a great time. 9.5 experience!

Perfect location for our needs, away from the craziness of Bar Harbor (yet just a few miles away when we needed to drive in for meals) and very close to Acadia National Park where we spent most of our time. Kevin and Donna’s place was spotlessly clean and well equipped. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it together others!

I can’t wait return. It’s a beautifully designed place with a million dollar view.

The Nest was beautiful, well appointed, and the attention to design details went above and beyond. Pam has such talent in creating exquisite, comfortable and elegant spaces. Everything was perfect. Her muffins and peanut butter cookies are the best!

This is my second time staying at one of Erik's places. It was beautiful, spotless, had everything we needed. Loved the "wood burning stove." And seeing the deer along the tree line in the morning!! After a long day doing the college tour thing, it was comfy to sit on the couch and watch somw movies. Erik is an amazing host and always responsive!!!

This adorable addition to the family’s quaint farmhouse was cozy, warm and immaculately clean. Every detail was spot on. Kitchen was fully functional, as if you were in your own home. Luxurious linens and towels. Bed was very comfortable. Met all of our expectations and more! Beautiful property and close to Camden Harbour.

This is a very special building with a very special owner. Our group likes to socialize, so having him right next door made for a wonderful experience. Lovely cute apartment with lots of history and an owner who takes pride in the heritage and his amenities. Spotlessly clean and well appointed.

The host was phenomenal about getting us in on last-minute notice. A++ communication... the rental was impeccably clean, nice layout and warm, cozy, welcoming atmosphere inside. Very quiet. Super comfortable bed and pillows! Will definitely be back.

Nancy greeted us warmly upon arrival, making us feel instantly welcome. Her place is in a quiet neighborhood with ample parking and offers thoughtful touches like muffins, coffee, tea, and bottled water. Prices are extremely reasonable. The space was exceptionally clean, spacious, and well-stocked with extra blankets, pillows, and bath linens. We will definitely stay at Nancy’s again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Pittsfield area.
