Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Southern Maine Coast

We loved this home, it’s in a great location but off the beaten path. Private and peaceful with a wonderful fire pit that we enjoyed almost nightly. We traveled with my son and his fiancé so the two suites one up and one down gave us perfect personal space. There was so much to do nearby with great restaurants and shops. Emily gave us a great recommendation for a restaurant called “Earth at Hidden Pond” which was amazing for our anniversary celebration. We could not have asked for anything more, absolutely amazing!

We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful and quiet time of rest at The Rising Tides. The setting is absolutely serene. It’s very secluded and quiet, the perfect place for a week of rest and relaxation. We went hiking on the Cliff Trail (15 minutes away and a very nice hiking trail), watched the sunrise at the Lands End store on Bailey island (15-20 minutes), and kayaked in the cove. The grill was very nice and we enjoyed cooking on it regularly. The place was very clean and ready on our arrival. The host communicated very clearly. You will need to follow her driving directions as they are very clear and helpful. In our four days there we only saw 1 neighbor - and that was as we were leaving on the weekend. There’s a grocery store only 15 minutes away and we were able to stock up on our way there. Really, this was one of our favorite places we’ve ever stayed. We really enjoyed having a few options of things to do while also being able to just do nothing on our vacation in a quiet place.

a wonderful place to stay.

This house was perfect for me and my guests! All 7 of us fit perfectly, It didn’t feel too overcrowded! We loved the beautiful view off the deck and the hot tub was an amazing touch! The house was very clean and had everything we could’ve needed. I loved how clear the instructions were for everything and how responsive the hosts are if you need anything!

Place was great, just as pictured. Very charming and clean. Walkable to town.

My family and I had a serene experience staying here. Although the weather was mostly rainy or cloudy, we loved the lake location and maximized the indoor, outdoor, and nearby activity options. The hosts were so responsive, regardless of the question, and made this a truly delightful visit. This was my parents’ first Airbnb experience and it set the bar higher than I could have imagined! My family and I are already talking about coming back!!

fantastic stay. clean and well equipped. the lake is even more beautiful than the pictures! Roman was very responsive and went above and beyond in providing helpful information about the area and place.

Beautiful home, incredible convenience of being able to walk down a trail to the market and cafe for everything you could possibly need (and then some!) and such picturesque surroundings -- including trails on their property along with Wagon Hill Farm across the street. This property is perfection!

Normand and his wife were simply amazing. From the eggs and snacks that were waiting for us when we arrived to the homemade cookies on our check out. The place was very cozy and comfortable with tons of toys and games for kids and adults. Normand was very accommodating to any request and even helped me chase the puppies when they accidently got out. I would highly recommend this!

My husband and I decided to spend a night here between trips to Acadia National Park and Boston, and I'm so glad we did! It was such as cute town to walk around and look at the shops, and the house was the perfect central location. We enjoyed sitting out in the adirondack chairs to watch the sunset. Carol and Joe were the nicest hosts, taking time to chat with us for a bit. They have made this historic home very beautiful!

This place is a gem. Location is perfect. It is close to shopping, restaurants & beach. Pete & Holly were personable & thought of everything you would need to be comfortable. It was very clean & the grounds were beautifully kept. We would highly recommend this property.

Great location for our group. Lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommend!

Such a relaxing stay! My husband and I stayed here for a few nights, and we found the location perfect for what we were looking for. Close to many yummy restaurants in Alton Bay and Wolfeboro (5-15 minutes). About 30 minutes from Weirs Beach . The road that Tony and Sonja live on is very quiet. We took a beautiful walk around the neighborhood with a view of Lake Winni. The Airbnb itself is beautiful. Very clean and well equipped. It's right above the garage and up a small flight of stairs. We can't wait to come back one day!

Great clean place in Kennebunkport. Friendly, helpful and responsive host. Beautiful views of marshes with outdoor activities to enjoy! Will definitely stay here again!

Exactly what we were looking for. Completed our Maine trip perfectly was close to everything we wanted to go do and see I would highly recommend

A wonderful apartment in a residential area. Very close to museums, restaurants and a beautiful park near the water. Luke was super responsive and attentive to all of our needs. We loved our stay at his place.

Loved this cozy little cabin! Perfect for a peaceful weekend getaway in the woods!

The house is immaculate. Convenient to restaurants and all the outdoor activities the area offers. We will stay again.

My kids and I had a fantastic time. Julie was nice and left very clear instructions for everything that was needed. Great location that put you right in between the ski resorts and the town of Conway, which has lovely shops and food options. Great spot if your an active traveler or if you just want to read in the peace of a beautiful river and hide. Thanks again!!

Came for the Fall colors; left in love with the place! Small but delightful. Cluttered in the most fantastical way. Nestled in paradise. Bonnie is so nice and friendly! Pay attention to the fact that the toilet is not attached to house. Short walk to privet and very clean!

Stayed here for the second time with our family of five, including two toddlers and a baby. The house/property is the perfect setup for us! Everything is safe for kids and on one floor. There are things like pack-and-plays, kid dinnerware, kid toys/books, and sand toys provided. The sandy beach is close enough that our monitor reached from the baby’s room during nap time. Our oldest calls it “the little house” and has been talking about it since the last time we stayed here a year ago. It is the perfect little getaway! 🙂

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay! The fire pit area was perfect and the screened in porch was so nice. Good space in the cabin and was very clean. The community road next to the cabin can be a little loud with large construction vehicles and ATVs, really appreciated the curtains that were hung in the screen porch blocking the road. Reminder to also pack/bring your own wood for the fire and coffee. The community market close by was also very convenient for these and other items. Alan was very responsive and nice, would recommend to others to stay here!

We fell in love with this cabin! It is even better than the photos, immaculately clean, totally private, and stocked with all of the necessities. This was the perfect weekend getaway to celebrate our anniversary and we hope to stay here again ASAP. Michele is a wonderful host!

When you are out exploring a new area, the perfect way to end each day is in a cozy, relaxing secluded cabin in the woods, and this is just what Destie and George provide at The Little River Retreat. Their cabin, with its wide, inviting front porch with a sunrise view of mist over the pond, is just the place for morning coffee. They have thought of everything in terms of stocking the cabin, including rainy day and evening entertainment for all ages. I definitely overpacked as so much was provided by them! It is so nice to go to a place where you can take a step back from daily life and it's stresses, and just relax. Thank you for 6 wonderful days.
